Jno. W. Steinhart , collector , will call upon you at an early date and request that your pro-rata share of the delinquencies be paid at once as I cannot longer carry the amount I advanced , and suggest that the names of the delinquents , if collect able by legal proceedings , be placed in the hands of some competent attorney who opines that the claims be good in law , for immediate collection , the amounts to be equitably apportioned and returned to you. Respectfully submitting above , I am truly , J. STERLING MORTON , Trustee for Donors. " 10 to 1 OK BUST. " At last it has come to be clear that the prince Ahmed of the democratic party would cast his charm of Pari- banou eloquence over the wits of his followers , not unlike did the real prince his fairy tent over the heads of his whole army , both which charm and tent , alike , when folded up for thought ful view , take on so small a compass as to become withal a lady's toy. 'And further , too , it seems clear , the sweet silver singer , singing sixteen soft songs to one hard tune , would offer to Americans , as a panacea for all the ills which the whole people of this nation betimes come heir to , his paramount Samarcand apple of 16 to 1 , which they refused to accept of , only a short time since , knowing it was just such fruit by which man was first tempted. Nay , sir prince , your labors in this be half , like those of the mountain , have brought forth only a mole which time has hitched to the catching phrase , so jjl that he who runs may now read it thus : j ] " 16 to 1 or bust. " So , if that is to be the paramount issue , stamp it on your banners as it now appears with an Anglo Saxon will , and boldly set out for the goal of a laudable ambition ; but after the die is cast m November next , and you come draggling back whence you set out , be generous enough , like has been done be fore , to say to your fellow townsmen "Busted , by gosh 1 But it's better it 'busted' me , Than all the rest should 'busted' be.
