gaze upon the objectionable wretch
No one speaks, no ones dares Il
speak, for it is now universally ad

created free and equal-only that
the woman was made vastly Snpe.
rlor to the maitland it is also

that man has had charge of affairs
long enough. AS a C he is a
plum dead failure, and must retire

that glorious era shall come, which
will not be long, then you male trash
must look out for shelter.
