CHAPTER I.
pondence of the Democrat.


 And it came to pass in the days of the brothers of freedom that there arose a division among the people. The Ephramites (Republi- cans) manifesting that spirit of jeal- ous complaint at every enterprise in which they have not a chief share, assembled mighty counl cil in q great city On the eastern bor. der of the great county of Pope and arrayed themselves against the Chal- deans (Democrats), ), and It came to pass that the door was shut in the street and the voice of the brethren was low, and they counted and be- hold there were many Ephramites present. And one of them arose and said: Men and brethren what shall we do, for the number of the Chaldeans in the land is many. And it came to pass while he yet spake that there appeared unto them 2 wise man from the East who was afi expounder of the law. And they said unto him say on. And he said unto them: 1 am we'll acquainted with all thy ways and have tuned my organ to proclaim thy praise and am now ready to furnish thee with much chin music. Therefore 1 pray you to hear me patiently. This shalt thou do. Thou shalt call q meeting of the Great Sanhedrim of the B. of F. and thou shalt cause it to meet on the waters of GumLog in the midst of thy brethren. Wilst thou call it? And they gave a shout and said when shall these things be. And the wise man sad, in the Fifth month, and 3lst day of the month shalt thou assemble. And thou shalt call Tertullus the govern or of the B. of F. to preside over your deliberations. And perhaps he may have somewhat to say unto thee concerning his claims upon thee as your representative in the Court of the Kingdom for he is one of thy brethren, an orator by profession and can do thee much good in aiding thee to overthrow the Chaldeans. And the thing was well pleasing ia their eyes, and it was so. And the watchman said there is an alarm at the door, and the Ruler said who is 1t? And he said it is Joseph and his brethren from over the waters, and they admitted them. And the Ruler said unto Joseph, what is thy desire and who are these that thou hast with thee? Ard Joseph answered and said unto them: have desired for many years to be Recorder that l might write in book the things concerning the county of Pope, but the Chaldeans would not let me, and wounded me sorely, and gave the spells unto one Zachens small man. Now, therefore, if thou wilt help lSe to bring Zacheus forth out of the clerks office that 1 may ride in as E. of +. and preside over the ar chives of the same, then will 1 give unto Tertullis all these that are with me, and thou mayst use them as tools Tn thy own hands to enable him to ride into the courts of the King dom. And the Ruler said unto Jo- seph: Whoare all these that are with thee? And Joseph said: They were once democrats, are now B. of F..but thou mayest call them republicans,it it seemeth good in thine eyes. And they looked and it was so. And they said unto Joseph, come to ae Great Sanhedrim in the plains of GumLog and bring thy brethren with thee, and there we will consid- CT thy request with Jonathan's and many other nobemen. And he arose and departed. And certain noble man from the Temble of GumLog arose and said: My heart hath al ways been with thee and the pro ceedings of thy council is like unto that of ours, therefore come over and dwell with us for all things are now ready for the Great Sanhedrim, and they all rejoiced, and they arose and departed every man unto hs own house. Now Mir. Editor if thou wilt publish these proceedings then will l surely write unto thee more fully in my second chapter. Sclah'
