ed to Disappointment. Well might he
have known that he was no match for
the mighty Publius in a contest Of
that character.
So soon as the Centurion removed
his hand and disclosed the decision OF
| the oracle, Publius advanced to the
tribune and Selling the hickory scepter,
averred that he had no Grafton pre-
pared for the occasion, but was ready
to hear petitions from the people. Ar
temidorus Oden, of Opequon, and the
Centurion were chosen as scribes.
Then were petitions presented in
proper form d. Civitali Westenha-
yer drew forth roll and Artemidorus
read in stentorian tones
Wherefore rejoice over the victories of
Caesar?
/ What conquest brings he home
What care you for coal?
Or sugar?
O, hard and cruel monopolist!
! Know We not that he hath
Defied the great and mighty Pompey,
And his chief cuckoo,
w. Lucilius Wilson?
He, with other miscalled
Conservative" Senators,
| Hath conspired against the efforts
OF Pompey and Lucilius, and hath
Made them to eat crow.
| Therefore, we pledge ourselves to
| Never give up the fight,
In behalf of the Britons
Until this stain is wiped from the
Lips of Pompey and Lucilius.
And We here and now demand
That the delegates to the caucuses
To be held be pledged
To vote for WINDY" and Lucilius,
The pride of the Democracy.
/ Out spoke the mighty Publius-
"Who shall the delegates be, and how
shall they be chosen ?"
Anthony now presented his peti
ton which N. Dignitarius Baker
asked should be modified. J. Cassius

attempted to ignore, when J. Cassius
broke forth
For my part, I've walk about the streets
submitting me unto the perilous night;
Have barred my bosom to the thunder
stone;
And when the cross blue lightning seem'd
to open
The breast of heaven, did present my
self
Even in the aim and very flash Of it,
And now dare maintain my rights
Else, by the gods, I'll tear the mask
From off your faces, and expose
Your misdeeds to the Republicans.

window and said not word Beside
him sat Cicero the younger, taking CO.
pious notes of the doings of the CON
spirators.
A vote was taken resulting in a
great victory for J. Titinius who at
tempted to escape but was dragged to
