If I was a candidate, I would studi
ously consult the passions and prejudi
ces of the people. I would approve
and commend all iheir opinions and
a&ions. 1 would become a weather
cock and change with every gale of
wind. I would renounce every senti
ment of my owe, and provide an af
foitment of arguments and opinions
suited :o every palate. I would cen
sure and condemn constitutions and laws
and mnkea ternble noise salaries
and wages, and would boldly afiert that
our legiflatiors and rulers, are a pack
of interelted venal coirupted men. I
would even go so far as to tell some
(for there are some that would believe
it) that the aflembly of Pennsylvania
ought to repeal the Excise Law of the
United States, and that our former re
presentatives were both fools and knaves
for not doing it long before now. In
ihort, 1 would endeavour to make eve*
ry body believe, thjit every thing is
wrong and would for ever remain so, if
I was not immediately sent to right it.

will have been remarked, that this soci

that its views extend themselves much
•further—by advice, to render the ne

principal objeS ; —ln addition to this

partition of his face, rtiade room for
the following speech to croud out, —
" Gentlemen" fays he, (for I mean
to make use of his own words) " the
taxes have been intolerable for a num

digious fight of fines paid, and there

it/s gone, and I'm very uneasy about
the matter, and I vvifh the affair might
be look'd into a little before we pay
any more rates, and if you was all of
my mind you never would.
What's the matter We can't have a

the affair, and go and demand the books
and records of Congress, and v call 'em
all to an account, and fee what they

enough to rafn a nation." Bleis the!
where is my brain driving me ?—'tis
certain death, infamy and disgrace to
