WHIGS.
Michael Grant.—Formerly a tanner occupying the land on
which Quodlibet was built. Having amassed an
independence, he has retired to his farm at the
foot of The Hog Back, where he lives surrounded
by his four sons.
Andrew Grant.—His youngest son, educated to the Engineer
service, but preferring to be at home, married the
daughter of Stephen P. Crabstock, and lives near
The Hog Back.
Abel Brawn.—A substantial blacksmith, but unfortunately infected
with Whig principles—a matter of great
regret to his friends amongst The New Lights.
Davy Post.—Wheelwright.
Geoffry Wheeler.—Teamster.
Peter Ounce.—Keeper of The Boatman's Hotel on the Canal
Stephen P. Crabstock.—Iron Master and proprietor of the
Hog Back Furnace—a man who in spite of his
adherence to the dangerous doctrines of The
Whigs, has arisen from poverty to wealth by his
own exertions.
Augustus Postlethwaite Tompkinson.—Editor of The Thorough
Blue Whole Team—a paper characterised
by its mendacity, its ferocity and utter disregard
of the feelings of the purest New Lights in the
nation. A bitter enemy of the Hon. Middleton
Flam, and having the audacity to speak lightly of
The President of The United States.
John Smith.—A gentleman generally known throughout the
Union, and several times run for Congress.
