McKean) would advocate? As to the reform pledged in the inaugural, we have had it. This modern reform has come over us with all its blessings. True, there has been a change, but it has only been a change from those who were in office, to the vilest and most lawless crew that were ever raised up under the dispensations of Providence to scourge a degenerate and ungfateful people. Sycophancy and servility have taken the place of all the heroic and manly virtues. The rooks, together with obscene bi...rds, have perched themselves in the high places of the land, and we sit here beneath surrounded daily with their filth and putrified corruption. Office holders (now become miserable dependants) and office seekers infest every turn and corner; and let it be known that any man has influence from his being the tool of those who have patronage to confer, and he is overwhelmed with the bowing and cringing of these slaves and beggars. Crowds of miserable hungry beings creep and crawl, in the darkness of midnight, through the hidden recesses and gloomy avenues that lead up to the throne of royal fa- vor.
