From the Pennsylvania Journal. Copy of a letter from a
gentleman of New-York, in answer to some strictures, upon
the political state of that city, to his friend in Boston.
New-York, Oct. 1.
Whate'er you may think, my good friend! I protest,
We constantly managed our cards for the best:
Tho' censur'd by some, we were seldom to blame--
We shuffled--We cut--and--We played all the game*--
. . . [45 lines]
Then a scrutiny call for--to settle the whole;
We neither begin nor break off in the middle,
But mind all the stops--of the government fiddle;
. . . [50 more lines]
