On reading the piece, (inserted in Draper's last paper)
relative to the Snake at the head of some of the American
papers.
  Ye traitors! the snake ye with wonder behold,
  Is not the deceiver so famous of old;
  Nor is it the snake in the grass that ye view,
  Which would be a striking resemblance of you,
  Who aiming your stings at your own country's heel
  Its weight and resentment to crush you--should feel.
