position is certainly delicate, and, to
a man in public life, a dangerous one.
Suppose, for instance, was candl-

every mother whose baby has failed to

planted in the heart of every crow a
decided belief that its "baby crow is
the blacklist of all crows, and no argu-
ment of counsel could ever convince
the mother crow to the contrary; and
this is right
Were it otherwise, our babyhood
would not be the reign of kinghood and
oueenhood that it is. If our parents
had not believed us to have been the
brightest and best of the human family,
and that we were born 10 be Presidents,
or at least Congressman, we would
have been drowned like kittens before
we had reached our teens. But were
to undertake the duty you request of
me, other objections loom up before
