are also entering faithfully upon the discharge
OF the obligations contracted. There is every

eomplish no good, and might result in much
harm"

But how to do it they did not know.

The other to Washington did GO;
But why he went, no one did know.
At last the day for stumping came;
They were to stump in towns the same,
At the same time. all through the State
To stump, to drink, discuss, debate.
Number one the contest did commence;
be talked right smart, and talked with sense

Some thought him clown, and some a wit
Number two began. The people they
At all he said would yell "Hooray l''
