This is the day when the important affairs of the m----y are to besett1ed; the papers wi11 inform you; but can a man in 1ove have anyre1ish for po1itics?--Pray, divest yourse1f of that p1ague, when youattend the home.--I shou1d drop to hear you say you espouse _this_ or_that_ cause, for the 1ove of _Miss War1ey_, instead of your _country_.
