infallible; and ha ,r c remained
an induftrious agent und r
A—s and P ——g, yet our a t d
miniftrition is going headlong
to oblivion ! O, cruel and rner
cilcfs deftmy, is this the reward
of my perils and my toils ? I
have fought, yea, my feeble
tongue would faultcr in the re
cital ol my military exploits !
They would found like I
they would fill a baker’s ovim.
As a civil officer, 1 have been
laid)fn! to my fuperiors, and
ftii&ly careful of myfelf. I
have pcTecuted the vile jaco
bins of my unh ppy country,
with untemitting vengeance.
1 have regularly—O! could but

pcafantry—many an rletlion

until my poor was
drained from its fearer dwelling,
many a bigot have I made be
lieve that was a demigod,
acd that jefferfen and all the
democrats were infidels; and
yet, alas ! thofe infidels arc about
to turn the money changers out
of the temple; and poor me
ihc' reft. Then fhMl I
go—yea, go I muft, to

o,fate I hate then, a* f hatejuf

have hanged them all ; and now
they muft he wy foie compa

done every thmg which I ough’

I employed the hands paid by

none of their bufineft-—u's a

ty little oliicc, O, cruH thought,
it mull be taken from me.
Dea.ly have I iov ( ed it—tender

nifhed every pine apple pedlar
that dare infult it; and it will
rend my heart-ftriegs to be fipa
