What ia 10 be donel How will the people reach
the sources of evil? How are the rogues TO be caught
Is there any probability of getting at the facta Gan
the public robbers be come at? Have the people no
r;gbts9 Are the banks to rule all? Have the pnVi-
legged class al last attained their obJectf
Those ara some of the mpassioned interrogatores
,.h;ch are now daiy and hourly put by man TO man.
snoe The denouement of the famous Juggle IN the
uouse of Assembly at Albany by which the Bank
Inves,;oaon has been defeated and the rights of the
.saorl, s,;olo,ed nv bank ridden legislature.
m, ,rosont LEGISLATURE is gross and daring insult
- f,ae Government. Look at their proceedings day
after dav in both houses. In the Senate, miserable
personal sqrabbes following each other like the riots
of the Five Points--in the Assembly Juggle Jugge,
uegle, from the beginning to the end of each week
There will not and never was intended TO be a bahn
Investigation 1t is the belief of the legislature lha'
the recent outrages of the banks upon the laws
and insttutions-and in producing the pressure l'seis
for the very purpose of proftng by H. are only he
legitimate and legal rights The ssurlous practices OF
last summer-the high rates of interest and excnange-
tbe nressure on the merchant mechanic and laborer
are now settled by the House of Assembly to be just
right proper merclfu and upright
What is the use of the legislature meeting at all
Why not give the whole power of legislation TO the
pank Directors openly and above board as they al
ready have il secretly? Every right of the people IS
violently and shamelessly tramped upon by this bank
Legislature
The weakness and want Of nerve of the merchants
and mechanics last month, are now properly requted
In the very midst Of the recent pressure and while the
banks were grinding out their very souls, they did not
dare 10 come out openly and seize the mad bull by
the horns They sneakingly run into every covert
and shade We give the banks great credit for Their
daring their eIrontery their boldness and skill Such
qualities in good cause would enute them to theho-
nor of triumph In the present cause they ment
Justly, damnation here and hereafter.
We trust as they have got the complete upper hand
in the legislature that they will now squeeze the last
drop of the blood out of the cowardy merchants and
mechanics Do not be afraid ye cashiers, presidents
and directors! Ye have got the mastery IN society )!
We must all submit to the Phenix Manhattan, State
and Mechanics Banks, poor Ackley submitted to
the rope at Bellevue. There are Ho Dick Robnson's $
anon. the poor devils called the people, to cheat the
paows and slip through the forms Of law.
Seriously, however, we are much mistaken, if the
present outrageous conduct of the legislature in Alba
nv in refusing an honest Bank Investigation, will not
rouse spirit that will revolutonise not only this city,
but this state-yea, even this nation. We are on the
eve OF Q eat events. The people will not submit any
longer to be trnmped apen, ridcued, defeated, and
outraged Why are not public meetings called? Both
partes are ake-both wings and democrats in the le-
gslatre, united in the perpetratisn of the gross out
rage. Let US have a revolution at Be moving
