This is the slogan Of the great polit'

something Of fendi-hness in the
boast that they "woult rely upon q

An enlightened statesmaE would
never have conceived the thought,
much lees have given it utterance
AS an expression Of The policy to be

apprehension Of a turbulent cam

war and bloodshed, because the PEG.

And here we would put a question
or two to Ben and his followers.
