 But how was this monster of party reared1 Were 1 sent to find out its founders would look around me, as some unfortunate children, in this city, look out to find thei, fathers. l would look into the Cabinet and into the legislative halls of the nation and there l should find them.

 Should my constituents ask mo how the monster has been fed will so far play the Yankee as to answer their question by ask ing them ano:her-if they ever saw far mer m cold winter stand and pull down whole bundles of fodder from the stack. and thrust them into the rack of the stall fed OK!

 That is imperial sport! It may be death to the poor flies, for aught know; but who would condescend, amidst the splendors of this reign, to think of that.
