Christ, and thatin 2l67 before Christ Take the fsi
lowing palhos from the report =

M ~, useless le ,o to make one for there
The farm at Bellevue was ina
NegleSc,ed and a! n,nprepared state'
In miserable eondlisn ! scan'y supply ofhay,
No straw oats or ether graia feed tor cattle;
And nearly all the harness out;
Not suifcency ofhorses for the required labor,
And the whole Of this branch OF the poor establishment
As 10 management.
The poor "cows very thin in flesh % Here the
pauper establishment of antiquity has the advantage
in fat comfort. OF course the pathos OF the des
crIpon is diminished as the fat rises. Take the fol-
lowing from Book XIV =
His vest succipt then girding round his waist,
Forth rushd the swain with hospl,able haste
Straight to the Judgments OF his herd he rum
Where the fut porkers slept beneath the sun;
These So n nT nsea and sd on forks Of Wood
All hasty on the Kissing Goals he threw;
And, smoking, back the tasteful viaads drew
Broachers and all:
And here
Twelve herds of goats that Craze our utmost green;
And mine Re' care to feed the brlsy kind
Each day the latest bleets of either herd,
All to the suiors' wasteiu board preterra xrr-
But enough-and now 10 be serious, is it not aston
shins that men of sense, like the present Aims House
Commissioners should put such ridiculous report
before sensible community, as the one they nave
published. The bad taste miserable temper, inflated
bombast which runs through that document, resem-
BILE the tinsel rags of genllity which unacy some
times assumes to give it air of consequence IN
madhouse. An Aims House is only an Aims House
all the world over. Misery and wretchedness-pan
and poverty always prevail in such an establishment
1t is its natural aliment-its staple character. The
censure therefore, which the present Commissioners
would affect TO throw upon their predecessors we do
not believe. These men were and respectable
as the present incumbents. They may differ in OPT
Mon the miserable party politics of the day: but
both the former and present Commissioners are men
Of sense, sagacity, and general humanity.
To what cause is then to be attributed the singular
report just published According to the revelations
of these very men, this incredible report this outrage
caricature on human suffering, is only meant as
TO increase the taxes of this city, and TO
double the expenditure of the Aims House establish
during the present year. Will the people submit
to this miserable experiment at deception when the
whole city is suffering We not one ieta what
party attempts such gross public deception. We
will expose i, to the uttermost. The present commits
sloners all excellent, worthy men, private citi-
zens We esteem them as Individuals but when they
put forth such ridiculous far fetched, outrageous
statements, as an excuse for doubling the taxes Of
idly sit by and the deception pass along the stream
of time without exposure We shall proceed upon
this duty at our leisure.
THE COMING ELEcrIoNs.-The GREAT QUESTIONS
to be determined at the next election will be-" Cash
rersus credlt''-"specie rersuS paper"-"the mass
of the people rersus the irredeemable banks"-"spc
cRla,ion rersus real trade" roguery persus homes
ty"-"luxury rersus economy" The elements of
confusion are rapidly settling down into these test
questions.
The great Of the people are thoroughly hos
tile to the fathless corrupt rotten, rredeemable i'm
pudent detestabe, atrocious specializing, usurious,
usprncipled taxcating banks. During the last SIX
wears the banks-,he banks aone-the banks by
themselves alone have corrupted the general govern
ment-corrupied the state governments corrupted
the politicans-corrup,ed society-corrupted our mo-
rals-corrupted our manners corrupted every thing
human and divine The state banking system was
a good sys,em-is the best system for this country
but since 1880 il has been possessed Of seven thou
sand, seven hundred, seventy and seven devils.
These very devils, or directors, tempted General
Jackson 10 make fool of himsclf-tempted Colonel
Webb TO take S52 725, and call il "fair business
transaction, p tempted the states TO their de-
suuctlon- the merchants to their very ruin
tempted extravaganza, luxury, wickedness, vice and
decentralization, such as we saw in the murder of
Helen Jewctt, and the acquittal of her murderer.
For two years the banks robbed the government Of
two millions in the shape Of interest-robbed the mer
chants of twenty millions in the shape Of illegal,
usurious interest and exchangc-broke up all trade
and all commercc-forced ten legislatures pass sus-
pension and stop laws, thus violating the consttu-
ton-ard abore al, hare helped TO keep up the prices
If provisions Ia oil our markets.
The questions at the coming election, are, therefore,
between these institutions conducted in that manner,
and The ancient principles Of integrity, moderation
and lss,ice which characterized the banks in the
years preceding 1929 and 80 before the Safety Find
system was established. Let the great MASS of the
Independent people IF his city take care hop they
side NTH either party tn they knor rhat hsir prin-
cipies are Let them examine the avowed principles
of the whigs-ihose Of the democrats. DO them
both justice. Which of these parties is most hostile
to VIC rotten, corrupt banking systemi Ascertain
that, and then let drive at the polls. You have six
weeks 10 indit Be cool, be cautious, be careful
be not too hasty. Steady, boys, steady.
THE GREAT RaPELjIr LEcAcy.-We understand
that several persons are buying out the claims which
the legal heirs possess in this great legacy, under
