[Great laughter.]
Mr.. Job Haskell said-"I am glad to see men so
ready to fight, but he nevertheless glad ihs
luton respecting arms had been Withdrawn The
magnificent Colonel of Wall street, Webb, talks
nightly of fighting; when the time for fight
comes, l should like to fight him myself Pve seen
some service and should like TO teach the Colonel
y afraid that all this talk about fighting by the Wall
street gents is all fudge. The locofocos daily pro-
ceed down Wall street. and they dare not touch them
don't think Col Webb himself could be induced to
fire upon the most inveterate of us. So my friends,
the less talk we make about fight the sooner we
shall chance to get it. But if we talk about arms we
proclaim peace at once. The arstocrats are half
scared TO death is, but if they suspect the
people are armed there will be no fshting-you may
stake your salvation on it, We must be wary-we
must play possum till we get these Wall street BIRDS
into flock. Shooting two or three OF them would
be OF no service Let us wait until they get together
Let us be patient until they screw their courage to
the fighting point and then bang! We shall kill the
whole batch at voey. Roars Of laughter and
great cheering.
