Now, feller citizens, what's the reason you hain't got any more money? It's because the laws ain't right. Man was born to have enough of everything. This is a big world we live in--it ram'fys itself all round the 'quator, and its mountains diversify themselves into infinity. You own your part on't just as much as the greatest nabob; and all you've got to do is to stand up to the rack, vote for true men, and you'll get it; and it's your duty to rise in your wrath, break the chains of oppression, and declare that you'll never lay down the sword until the last enemy is routed. (More applause.) Here a solemn-faced man rose, and asked Wiggins to define himself on the

The licker question--the licker question, continued Wiggins, speaking with gravity, for there was a great division of opinion among his hearers on that subject--

He said he was a humble citizen, and warn't com'd of rich or larned folks--he _had_ tended lime-kiln--he _had_ doctor'd hosses--he _had_ druv stage; and he was goin' to drive and doctor a jackass. (Much cheering.) He had always _worked_ for his living. He'd give five dollars to any man who'd tell him where Wiggins _was_ born, or show that he ever did anything. _He_ lived on the sweat, and the blood, and the brains of the people. He'd tended grocery, peddled calickers, try'd to talk law once, and was now on a farm, just for appearance' sake. For himself, he was a humble link in the great whig chain. (Ike Turtle said he s'posed he was that link called the _swivel_.) Higgins, with an affected pleasantry, asked Turtle

Of course he'll deny it, feller citizens--I would, if I was in his place--but I, feller citizens, without fear of man, not caring about an election, step forth, and say to you all, in the full blaze of day, that _I'll do all for the cause that lies in my power_, having in view the interests of everybody in this republic.
