popular and has become IL proverb in the
mouth of every good citizen
shall favor reputation but not by that
name, will oppose payments of bonds held
by Yankees, and Englishmen, only which |
can control by generalized special legislation.
osnc ME exhort you can invent laws, that
are general and a. The same time will apply
to some persons ard classes and not others.
In short I am in favor of everything you are
ana shall oppose everything you do, right or
wrong good or bad, honorable or dishonora-
ble.'
Timothy Titcom5, Teddy Tugmutton Belly
Eonsack, Haggarty Garbro h, Twiichity
hrogmorton, make the hills and dales Of
the beautiful. but waning Shenandoah, re-
vertebrate with their private talk, and
cards that speak in thunderone of the al
ready wounded, sickened and dying Funding
Bill, which perchance they have read Cd ly
half way through, and unders rand about on e
fourth of what they read. All differ with
brother j. Simphlns, and with each other,
not IN general but in par ticular, each one :,
| other than the deelarant saith he, is not the
man, does not suit the times, don't know any
thing, he is 100 cheap, he is q sharper, he
is too lazy, he did not share an ability to
! manage his private affairs. can't certainly
control pub lie matters, can't find the capital,
| and will sit on the curb stone if he ever reach
es Richmond
All agree in one thing, however. that law
yers are not capable ofmaking amending and
repeating laws. Since man in order to
make good laws and amend and repeal bad
ones, ought to know nothing about existing
| laws good or bad, and that men who have
never seen, red, nor knew law, ARE the pro-
| per agencies 10 pass, renew and change the
! law.
Then hear comes Deacon Ichabod Files
mere, the bold and dashing platform man
that hath his dwelling on a rock, and the
wind blew. and the storms beat against it
| ana still it fell not, a good physical basis.
| lchabod and We say to thee stick to it tbs
safer than the Dwelling in Richmond. for it
sometimes falls with terror. Cling to thy
| 200 acre rock, friend and when the storms !,
come and winds below, it will be we'll with
thee, l. Peter TX. %.
| Let thy hands as they have always done,
| minister to thy necessities so as to promote
| thF good health, and strengthen thy arms,
| that thy days may be long other wise you
fall off your independent platform when you
ask US to send you to the pent up halls of tn
House of Delegates, where moth doth corrupt
and fresh air doth no: come, and where you
may fall in the ways of the wicked and thy
faith be tried, thy religions obligations be
broken, by suffering from repeated acciden is
of hospitality, 10 wit by taking more than is
necessary for thy stomach's sake, and thou
be sad to forget and torsake thy ways of tbs
| noble ancestry We advise thee in amiiy go
back to thy rock and dwell there in peace
and plenty.
MORAL.
Make no assault upon any pursuit. Every
station i'll life deserves our respect. Not the
position itself, but II e worthy fulflment OF
it does honor to the man. Let merit INTEL.
gence, character integrity, and honor. be
embodied in the object OF our choice of men
regardless o. pursuit or profession for this
and this only 10 trae democracy.
