The herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1835-1837, 1837-02-15

Yesterday mornnx NJ proceeded n me scencof
action. The m ,gnilcent store belongs TO ( h H.
presented most r,eful appearance. Thsdoors, wn--
dows and ros fastenngs of the store itself had all
been battered in and were partially secured by
the shattered fragments.
The windows of the second story third, and some
of the fourth, were demolished. Barricades were
erected across the each side of the heuse and
constabes stationed inside to order. The whole
space Immediately in front was completely covered
with flour and grain, which with much rapidly
being shoveed and swcptnto barrels and rolled away
whilst all the neighborng streets for SEINE distance
were marked with white patches from some leaky
bag or STAYED barrel, which the spoilers had borne
away from the scene of devastation.
Pressing closely upon the barriers upon each side'
was vast number of spectators-some IN laugnter-
some in anger-but more in sorrow. Indeed upon
the whole the populace might be llkened 70 oa'k
overhanging cloud, from whence faint rumonngs o.
thunder and flashes of lightning are occasohai'y
emitted.
Among the many sounds that greeted our ears
were-"This will ruin AS and give them an excuse 70
opprcss us more" Not bit-the people will notbe
oppressed" How many of us are to starvc to make
the fortune of one man ~" See how they're shovel
ling it all up, dirt and alp" What are they going to
do with it?-"Why mix it up with tie good r.
eyes, to be sure-put one barrel OF bad with ten OF
good, it will all 60 down-you'll swallow some
of it-now and then you'll get great big lump IN
your throat, and then you'll damn the baker, Ia
ha ha"
At another part, some persons who evidently oid
not know want were maintaining the right OF man
to charge what he pleased-to make as much as ne
could by his speculations. "How many" echong
the poor wan mechanics speech, must starve tnat
one man may make fortune?'
"Set of id internal scoundres," said one, "who
idle all the summer and then expect to be supported
in the winter What fine way, of saddling the
wrongs of few reckless rioters upon whole suffer-
ing community 81 should like to see all the fellows
that met in the Park hung" cried this mild amiable
gentleman, who would rather force the spirits from
thousands of bodies than these should complain Of
heavy, and in the eyes of heaven, of deep and cry
ing wrong.
Has He given the fruits of the EARTH sufficient for
the wants of ALL that two This creatures should
speculate on the misery and distress Of thousands to
fill their own Golfers by. HNN
Let them fill them-thc gold they make is wrung
from the hard earnings of the poor, suffering and
starving. Widows and orphans tears have mostened
il. 1t makes many desolate that few may be rich.
Happy fcw--did We ever read the bible There is one
remarkable passage in it"It is easier for camel to
90 through the eye Of needle than for rich man
to enter the kingdom of Heaven"
Bat to proceed the general feeling throughout the
crowd as far as we could gather was regret for the
event, and determination to be firm in their endca-
vors to bring down flour to reasonable pnce. Let
the Mayor have the regulation of i" said one," let
the public authorities regulate the price of such an es
sentia necessary oflfe and let him them be anne
nabe for their conduct" 'This would break thehead
of this enholy imposition. This would snatch thou
sands from the unfeeling grippe Of hardened specu-
| lators"
In the midst of oil this deep feeling the sense of the
comic was not forgotten-tho powdered blacks came
in for share Of black jokes as centious as Trefagars
| AT this time one or two market women came up
with their baskets 20 to be sure, but yere too late
honey wild your basket ye should have come last
| night" "Make way for the basket here" Let the
! ladies pass, they want some Hart -four" Don't
rob the poor man." Rob be -, wont he make
bill for twice as much to the corporation, yes and get
il too"
Leaving these multitudnous expressions pro-
ceeded to Meechs store in Broad street, but little da
mage seemed to have been done here pain Of glass
had received fracture, and small quantity of -four
had been split ofany consequence. From thence
we journeyed to Coentes Slip. Here some spoilaton
evnced itself considerable quantity Of flour strew-
ed the ground in front Of Herrieks store; and three
| of the pannsls Of the doors had been slowed in.
All was quiet however in these last places; soli-
ary stragger was now and then seen casting curl
GUS eye on the premises, but no assembage. This
was confined 10 the head quarters of the riot in Wash
ngton streets there throughout the day, the
main tanned their ground.
May be long before another outrage disgraces eur
city-may il be long before harsh and cruel monopo-
izers again drive an nfuraed popuace to similar acts
| of madness To destroy in wantonness will only in
crease the evil complained Of, and will prevent that
redress which mild and temperate course can only
effect.
