HOW TO MEET IT.

Countrymen! I sue for simple justice at your hands, Naught else I ask, nor less will have; Act right, therefore, and yield my claim, Or, by the great God that made all things, I’ll fight, till from my bones my flesh be hack’d!—Shakspeare. The liberal deviseth liberal things, And by liberal things shall he stand.—Isaiah.
