like allnatur in the old val ssiid ttie nilrl- Der that must have died since of old age, its wonder he didn't lick the British in less than SIX weeks after they had landed #here.' Sc they concluded there must be some ratsiat work somewhere, and the ony way was to go to work and order all the nafnes of the pensioners printed, so that folks all about the country should see III one glance now many pensioners were Ilivin. and how many rais was gettin the pensions of dead pensioners. l haint got time now to look and see how the vote stood in the Senate on this resolution, but my friends Gales and Seaton, who keep a strict account of these matters, can tell.)

 Well, as soon as this resolution was past, the rats began to smell assefeiidy, and there will be considerable of a scamper by the time the Senate meets agin, or l miss my guess unless some of the pension agents take the same stand Major Barry did among the Post Office rats, and say that the Senate haint got no right to hunt rats i'll that quarter, that Congress aint the people, &c. But the people, whose pockets have to pay for all this nibbin, won't give t up. Pitcher and snup' and lsanco,' and TorSer,' and Fer4GF are all settin round the pile of old barrels and lumber; they know there are rats among it, and that they must come out pretty soon, and then we shall have rale chivy. If the people ony stand by and see fair play, and don't throw stones at these faithfhl watch dogs, there won't be rat left to nibble at the public crb.

 [ am your friend and an enemy to Rats.
