Yallowboy and Cant-well! hurra, Mr.Yellow, Mr.
Yellow.' "Mr.Yellowboy, who had not been able to come earlier, in consequence of the morrow being publishing day with him, now rose.

He was a tall, thin, bony-looking person, who might very well have taken his name from his complexion.
"'Mr.Chairman, gentlemen, and brothers--I rise with great and powerful diffidence to speak, to express myself, and to utter my sentiments before this most respectable, and, what is more, truly loyal auditory--hem.

In returning thanks, gentlemen, for the Castle Cumber True Blue (cheers), I am sure I am not actuated by any motive but that staunch and loyal one which stimulates us all--hem.

The True Blue, gentlemen, is conducted--has been conducted--and shall be conducted to all eternity--should I continue to be so long at the head of it--so long I say, gentlemen'-- here the speaker's eye began to roll--and he slapped the table with vehemence--'I shall, if at the head of it so long, conduct it to all eternity upon the self-same, identical, underivating principles that have identified me with it for the last six months.
What's Pruddestantism, gentlemen, without a bold, straightforward press to take care of its pruvileges and interests?
It's nothing, gentlemen.' "'Undher God, sir, and with all piety and perseverance I deny--' "'Silence, brother Bob, don't interrupt Mr.Yellowboy, he'll make himself plain by and by.' "'I deny--' "'Silence--I say.' "'Nothing, gentlemen--a candle that's of no use unless it's lit--and the press is the match that lights it (hurra, cheers).

But, as I said in defending Pruddestantism, we advocate civil and religious liberty all over the world--I say so boldly--for, gentlemen, whatever I say, I do say boldly'-- here he glanced at the Equivocal--'I am not the man to present you with two faces--or I'm not the man rather to carry two faces--and only show you one of them--I'm not the man to make prutensions as a defender of civil and religious liberty, with a Protestant face to the front of my head, and a Popish face in my pocket--to be produced for the adversary of Popery and idolatry--whenever I can conciliate a clique by doing so.' Here there was a look of sarcastic defiance turned upon Cantwell--who, conscious of his own integrity--merely returned it with a meek and benignant smile, a la Solomon.
"'No, gentlemen, I am none of those things--but a bold, honest, uncompermising Pruddestant--who will support the church and Constitution for ever--who will uphold Pruddestant Ascendancy to the Day of Judgment--keep down Popery and treason--and support civil and religious liberty over the world to all eternity.' "'Cheers--hurra--hurra--success brother Yellowboy.' "'And now, gentlemen, before I sit down there is but one observation more that I wish to make.
