I'll save it TO assist in battle;
To purchase Uncle Sam some horses
And clothe and victual his brave forces.
CARRIER.
! Get thee behind me, speculator,
never much of hater, w t.
But thee can, and do despise,
Thou monster OF monstrosites!
Friends Of the printer, of the press!
Who value ease and riches less
E. Than liberty to write and speak a
What conscience bids the light to seek;
Who cope to see the reign of terror
That rules this epoch dark with error, =
Soon vahist from our stricken land,
Before bold reasons conqusring hand E. s
To you l make my humble bow,
To you eternal friendship vow,
To you wish nor sigh nor tear,
