see this word in print. have not examined the full
force of its meaning. AS faithful journalists,
whose CHIEF object is to enlighten and keep many
readers posted on every new term and issue. we
deem it our duty to give its definition. Webster
defines it to be:
A certain rate Of money. corn cattle, or other
thing anciently paid. in the north of England.
TO certain men who allied To robbers, to be
by them protected from pillage
To Amercanize this definition and make it
applicable 70 the present era it may be rendered
thus:
a certain bonus on contracts, rich presents of
fine chargers. splendid carriages, &c. paid BY
contractors IN North America 20 Government of
hcials. who are reputed 10 be notorious public rob
bers, for mutual protection in mutual public
plumber; and BY whom the nation is impov crushed,
the people oppressed and the Government dis
honored
