seven-tenths NV mankind is bad in a
greater or less degree, that the devil

Them in witch he hez a present or
prospective interest are very largely

Now ez the Dimocrisy wants
votes for the sake nv the postofiises
that follows victory, wat is its dooty?
Is it to cater to the wishes Nv The

This bein the case, wat is the
