[In dialogue between a member of the Assembly and a
countryman, concerning waste in government affairs,
particularly in recent election procedures]. . .
Country.  Why truly, neighbour, tis doing and undoing is
fine work.  It must be a pretty dance for you in town; but I
suppose we pay the piper.  If Philadelphia county is to
divert itself in this manner, I think it should pay the
expence; or the petitioners, if it should turn out a
frivolous petition. . .
