dastardy politicians, no matter what not taxes place.
no matter what outrage is committed-no matter
what page is perpetrated the corrupt atrocous, un-
prncpled Wall street press throw the mantle of
charity over their dolngs and hide their enormltles
from the ewes of the world But when the people
come out on their own account-when they set up
business for themselves-when ground down TO the
earth with high rents, high our, high food, high fuel
they have the audacity to assemble and deliberate on
the public distress these atrocous specializing prints
purchased and paid by the banks cry at The top of
their lungs fire." murder" riot" robbery"
and arson
A few misguided wretches, most probably stimulated
by the spectators and politicians themselves, led ON
rabble 10 flour store committed depredations and
acted like madmen. The city authorities and the police,
being league with the cxoroners and usurers being
merely their instruments, permit, by their supineness
the most atrocous destruction to be perpetrated I'M
mediately few miserable blacks and beardless bows
captured for show and all the parade OF justice
and public Indignation is made TO make believe that
they had done their duty.
There can be no doubt in our mind that the specu-
lators, usarers and politicians have entered into
gross and anhoy conspiracy with the city authorities
TO put down the just Indignation against high rents,
and high prices, by attempting TO get IN clamor
against the high offences of the mob Let the people
not be deceived by this dexterous movement of the
extortioners which is maturing and carrying into
effect by the corrupt Wall street press.
The greater part of the terrible evils that now affic
society has been produced by the want of Free
talented, energetic, clear, and fearless press. The
Wall street press is corrupt to the heart hearts, 1t
part and parcel of the deep laid conspiracy against
the rights of the people. Itis founded and conducted
on the credit system, and is entirely the agent of the
banks and psurers. There is not single newspaper
in Wall street that dares TO whisper word against
the politicians or the spectators. Look at the his
tory of the past year Most atrocous speculatons in
lands in lots stocks in Texas script in all sorts of
baseless fancy stock" they are called, that the
Wall street prints have not pulled to the top of their
lungs They are the miserable hangers on to system
that has revoutionized this country in year.
The people must take the matter into their hands
and break up the enchantment-dash to pieces the
charm which has deluded them for many years. The
Wall street prints retain their power and mischief
ly by means Of the organization ofpotical clubs and
committees which are merely so many bank Drec-
tories by another name. Both the democratic and
wing organization equally in the hands of the
spectators There must be deep and radical revo-
luton from top bottom before society can be resto-
ed peace, quiet, contentment and moderate prices
Let the people therefore consult, meet and prepare
for the election in April the first great movement
which is to aid in restoring society to order. There
must be no lagging-no falterng. The political pres
ige of the Wall street press is the only power now re-
naming to them. Their moral and social influence
has been long since lost. Their political influence is
still held because through that influence they centrol
by legislative bodies all the movements Of trade, COM
merce and business Let that influence be broken
down completely, and we shall have fair weather.
People of New York meet in every ward-put down
rots-but meet in every ward and prepare for April.
CASE OF ADvAscrse Rxsr.-A very pretty, smi-

her wages she accumulated little fund, sent for
eral relatives from "ould Ireland" paid their passages
10 this country, and set them up in business. She

mechanics and has been engaged for three four
years. Whenever would happen to meet Bddy in
the street, would always ask Biddy, how do

this, and say not yet Misthur Bennctt-too hard
times for marrying. Pretty lard to get along"
