pcr's will. As good members Of this
Society, anil ns citizens of these United
States. l conjuTe yOu to listen to my
complaints.
When this Society vas organized,
your humble petitioner was, without his
consent, or his OgH r0'c. elected to tho
high and honorable position Of Secrc'
taty; aud with hit usual native mod
csty. accepted the high trust Ti'hot n
few and wcII.iimcd remarks, from the
:act that his heart WIS too full for ut
tcranco. and he sat living monument
Of modesty. Although his lips were
sealed. yet he accepted the position,
and in accepting, determined TO do his
duty. Notwithstanding tho dark frowns
tba. conIl be seen to gather upon the
brow Of the fat gentleman who vas By
MS o,rn vote unanimously elected Pres
idcut, and who had to be escorted by
two of Weston's fair daughters to bis
immense chair and although hc was
before his election "puifrd up BY his
natural pomposity, was now almost
brought to the bursting point BY the
new honor conferred 50 satisfactorily
by himself upoa himself. The first act
upon taking tho chair was one that
would cause the nation to shake in her
boots for its own life, did sho know it.
Your humble Secretary was indiscrimi.
n"tely fined. Fined for what? Moth,
ing but his native modcsty-a sin iu
his cycs-for he knows no such incon'
veuicncc in his corporosisy. His rul'
irg being despotic and illegal, your
Secretary very properly did not enter
tue fnc upon his minutes, as his high
sense ofjusticc would not allow him to
DO injustice. not even to himself.
Your Secretary vas forced 10 be ah-
sent part Of the evening Of tho last
meeting. The morning OF that day
found him l50 miles absent. but his
great sense Of duty compelled him to
almost take tho wings Of an eagle, aud
he did take John Smith $ hack and IN.
swcrcd "lIcre!' before the meeting
closed. Yet for this he was again fined
BY his "pOmposity" Your Secretary
had his report written out in full, even
entering into the minutes OF the FIRST
meeting. aud was left by him to be
read by the Society, wh:ch was done !;
bot tho President took oTcrsc at some
Of the truths given in it. aud as he is
not used to snci articles, he uuaui.
mously rejectcd the minutes By his
arm ro'c. an proud to say my fel.
lov-mcmbcrs, knowing the great truths
contained iu that writing, voted TO sus-
tain the report.
Therefore I, T. B. c., Secretary Of
tho Nito Society, and n citizen Of
Weston. county Of Lewis, State Of
West Virginia, a part Of tho United
States OF America, DO charge that D.
N. d commonly called Did" from
the fact that he did come to bis meals,
self.elpctcd President by his orn
prompt votc. did commit maifcasancc
iu office by lis unlawful rulings and
acts, and therefore | ask that high
and double. .joiutcd committee be organ.
lied to try tho facts Us set forth by
Jour humble petitioner.
Ouc joint Of the above committee to
SEQ whether the Bird Of Freedom
shrirks in vaiu in this glorious land
the other joint OF said committee vii |
earnestly take into consideration the
propriety Of disjoiuting the head of the
present ILL., -jOiuted President, and bring
his j1iuts down to u level with other
joints Of this glorious Union.
