The triumph ceased; tears gushed from ev'ry eye;
The States small victor passed unheeded by;
Her last good man detected Rome adored, lsA

With all the might of gravi'ation best;
No crab more active ia the dirty dance, az p. II
Downward TO climb, and back ward TO advance;
Around him wide sable army stand, '.--.
A Iow-born, ce-bred, selfish, scrviIe band,
Prompt, or TO guard, or stab, to saint or damn,
Heavens Swiss, who fight for any god, or man.
Senator D-l.
Statesman yet friend to Truth; of soul sincere;
In action faithful, and in honor clear;
Who broke no PROMISE served no private end;
Who gained no title, and who lost no friend.
Ennobled by himself, by all approved,
And praised, unenvy'd, By the State he loved.
Rsadjusting Orators. y
And when they lift their lean aud hasbY SONGS
Crate on their scrannei pipes Of wreiched straw.
The hungry sheep look up, anc are not fed; ..
But, swolrn with wind and the rank mist they draw,
BOT inwardIy, and foul contagion spread.
The Unhoty Coalition. 2.
All hands unite Of every Earring sect
They cheat the country first, and then infect.
Senator H-y.
Unbiased, or. By favor or by spite,
Not duly prcpoSsesscd, nor blindly right,
Tho learned, well-bred, aud tho welbred sincere
Modestly bold and bumaneiy severe
who 10 a friend his faults can freely show
And gladly praise the merit Of foe.
Bartering his venal soul for sums Of gold,
He cast himself into the saint-iSe mould.
Groaned, sigh'd, ID prayed, while godllness was
gain,
The loudest bagpipe Of the squeaking train.
Blest times whea Ishban, he whose occupation
So long has been TO cheat, reforms the nation.
Somebody.
Inspired by want was made fact!ous tool; -.
They got villain, and We lost fool
. Somebody Else.
knaye's knaye to me In ev'ry state;
Alike my scorn If he succeed or fail
Sporus at court or Japhct in a Jail,
a hirelIng preacher or hirellng peer,
Knight OF the post corrupt or of the shire;
If on piliory or near throne,
He gains his princc's ear or lose his own.
49, Governor Il
O, yet a nobler task awaits thy hand,
For what can War but acts Of War still breed,
'Tilinjulcd Truth from Violence be freed,
And public Faith be rescued from The Brand
or public Fraud: In vain doth Valor bleed
While Avartce and Rapne share the land.
