Ho would strip the widow?" (roars of laughter, and crics of?the widow ?? widow who ??not in this public hall. I hope, &c.) As soon as the tumult subsided in some degree, and the orator could make himself heard, he indignantly proceeded?" Gentlemen need not think Jo put me down by clamor. Is there no sympathy here for the widow and the orphan/? I .say, sir, that this is worst; I hatt si ripping, i'ut on this i lax and I say you drive I he widow to her /(/si shift." Here t he clamor became so ireal. that ihe speaker. despairing of a hearing, resumed his seat.
