A Talk" to the Hard-Fisted-Bad
Legislation Reviewed.
EptToRs CLARION: l want to talk
about 81 minutes, to the men of like IN
terest and hopes with myself, to the
"honest yeomanry," 'the sun Drowned
sons of toll" the hard-fsted men whose
"broad shoulders, clear heads and nom
est hearts support alike the ships OF
commerce and fabric of state" All 81
which facts are so clearly ascertaineo
about six months previous to each eiec'
| ton.
/ want to review some OF the ctaSs,
and to our class, aduerse legislation, ana
see if we do not agree that these are ol
infinite more importance to us, than the
oyershadowing question, as to which lot
Of the Office seekers shall gobble the
spoils. viii you furnish the roslrum
for the talk? Thank you!
