Again there ought to be law

| ness testifes.
For it is a fact known and read
of all men that the incumbent on
the bench, Gallo like, cares for
none of these things.
Laws were originally enacted to
protect the good and to punish the
perpetrators of vice and crime, but
now with their technicalities and
voluminousness, the last place for
an honest man to go to obtain
justice is within the walls Of op-
preston, corruption, sin and in
EQUITY, which have risen on the
ruins of what was once the 'sTemple
of Justice" but now numbered with
the dead. 20 fG#'f s'.'
Will not this prove to be an inn
portant factor in the conspiracy of
Catalinism to overthrow our Re-
publican institutions, by keeping
the people in ignorance through
said technicalities and numerous
volumes, thus making the many
showers of wood and drawers of
water " for the few? I.gl
Thus arises the imperative neces-
sity of the people arousing from
their lethargy, and opening their
eyes to the true Situation, and ar
resting the downward course of
the Republic under this NAL admin
istration of the few, whose only aim
seems to be to enslave the many
But do / hear a voice in the dis
lance, as the mutterings of distant
thunder, gathering the elements
that oppose justice and rights Is,
1t is only the voice of Demetrius,
the silversmith, the Captain of the
band, calling his peers together in
council, and saying: "Sirs, ye
know that by this (iniquitous) OPP
preston we have our wealth. Yea
we live in our palatial residences,
bask at fashionable watering places
in summer, array ourselves in pur-
| pie and fine linen and fare sumptu-
ously every day. Moreover, ye see
and hear that not alone in this
place, but throughout all the coun-
try this combination Of the farmers
hath persuaded and turned away
much people, x, SO that
our crafts in danger to be set at
naught and that Diana, (of having
without earning), which came
from Satan, and which we worship,
with her mupificenee from the
people1 and her magnitticence for
u.s. should be destroyed" 30
Therefore the whole combination
of parasites, leeches, vampire, bats
and cormorants, is arrayed against
us in deadly conflict. 81
And this antagonism must con-
tinue while seven tenths of the
people are not considered an in
tegral factor in This country, but
oppressed by every organization
known to Adams race.
And to show the ingratitude of
the parasites, who deny to us any
and all justice, let us ask them,
whence get they their food and
raiment that protects and supports
their unworthy bodies (? - 81

The Divine command is /" eat
bread by the sweat of your brow y
therefore they are unWQrthy, be-
cause they Seek to reverse the
behests of heaven.
&" ssAnd who but wishes to invert
the laws of order, sins against the
Eternal Cause" n,l 8
Then to whom ought we TO be
under obligations, if not to the man
who furnishes our food, which sup
ports our bodies and raiment that
protects us from the cold, and our
houses which shelter us from the
inelemencies ofthe stormy Weatheri
ungrateful must they be, who
deny to us that boon of justice
which God gives to His creatures
and which ought to be inalienable,
the right to Life, Liberty and the
pursuit. of Happiness, and we can
never be happy nor free under the
resent system of government
