what there was of it, played its part, and made him show his
teeth by frequent spasms. Being a little bow-legged, he made an awkward
effort in coming to the front of the stage; but we all love him, because
he is such a vigorous friend of freedom, looking as though he would
willingly be executioner of all the oppressors in the land. He said that
he "utterly concurred" with the mover in the spirit of his resolution;
it was not, to be sure, in the usual form of resolutions, but that could
