REPRESENTATION OF A COUNTY-CONVENTION for REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES.
OF COURTS.

HOW blest is that INTERPRETER of LAWS,
Who rich and Poor make equal in a Cause!
Who dares with steady hand the Balance hold,
And ne'er inclines it to one Side for Gold;
Altho' in Rags, one Scale gives equal weight,
Against the gilded Trappings of the Great.
'Tis such alone deserves our just Applause,
And such alone gives Sanction to the LAWS.
