    VjPj RIFTING down the River in the Twilight ! Through the Land of Shams , by the Shores of the Dishonest , by the Wigwams of the Heartless and the Faithless . Away ! steadily , firmly , and truly .

    Never swerving from the main course ; never turning aside from the arrows of the enemy— - from the attacks of the wicked . Always the same . True to himself , just to his fellow creatures , TuMAlIAWK , during the First Year of his Mission , has pursued his way fearlessly and honestly . lie has not escaped from the shafts of falsehood , envy , and malice .

    First , said his enemies , " This pretentious Censor is stupid ; his words are those of foolishness , his thoughts are those of folly . To this answered the people indignantly , "Go to , ye enemies of TOMAHAWK , ye are utterers of falsehood ; ye arc as full of lies as the ocean is of water . " Then said his enemies , " Nay then , if his words are those of wisdom , his thoughts are those of malice . Behold in him a clever fiend ; an amusing demon ! "
