10, gentlemen IN Boston, New ork, the miu-
die and the far west, even from the racine
Coast, began to pour their sweetness and
light 'uponus. We.who were upon the ground
and knew our men Il speak whereof l do

we were making war upon the very eject.

SADIE to history backed by the decision OF the
Supreme Court.
| Another thing we have learned from the
wind alluded to above is that wickedness af-
ter all is not as smart rs goodness. When
we first set out to corner these willy
gentlemen it seemed very much as if
we had gone fox hunting IN stage
coach. Whiie we were numbering along
the kings highway in the good old Constitu-
ton these nlmble sinners went skipping away,
cross lots. over law and gospel. We thought
the decision of the. Supreme Court would
head them of. but they ''took it, as lightly
as a fox would take stone wall. But they
were too smart for each other First 'emi-
nent counsel collared the poor old Governor
on his way to Portland, brought him, n ct
armts, to the State House, compelled him t.
submit the subject to the Court. Then this
same poor old Governor thought he would
try his hand without eminent counsel" and
with his expiring executive breath appointed
as commander-in-chief our brave orator-war
r'or, President OF Bowdoin, General Cham
berlain; thus. at one fell swoop. turning the
conspiracy bodily over to the grasp of law.
