The question, Who is to float atop no-whither upon the popular vertexes, and act that sorry character, "carcass of the drowned ass upon the mud-deluge"? is by no means an important one for almost anybody, hardly even for the drowned ass himself. Such drowned ass ought to ask himself, If the function is a sublime one?
Give your Governor due power; and let him know withal that he is wedded to his enterprise, and having once well learned it, shall continue with it; that it is not a Canadian Lumber-log you want there, to tumble upon the vertexes and sign its name by a Birmingham shoulder-crank, but a Governor of Men; who, you mean, shall fairly gird himself to his enterprise, and fail with it and conquer with it, and as it were live and die with it: he will have much to learn; and having once learned it, will stay, and turn his knowledge to account.
My reason for being thus persuaded is, that as the forward and aft halves of the float are cone-shaped the center being the base, and the front and rear ends being the vertexes there must be an increased velocity of the atmosphere from front to aft as the aeroport advances.
