The next gun is that of the journal ofCommerce"
shufflng along with slopng eyeds, lists of lots in

perfectly right. Where an Editor IS known to be
honest and to desire TO tell nothing but the truth, nor
that, ifit respects matters with which, as pub

Here's saint with vengeance! here a specimen
Of piety that would make the devil laugh TILL he shook
his tail half off, knocked the two horns out OF ms
internal head. Instead of meeting our statements, or
clearing up the base conduct Of the Wall street banks
in cheating the community, these pious blockhoads
call us a "penny paper al the very moment 1t was

we have as large SOUL and will be entitled 10 "a

But enough on these points. The attack made on

the combined Wall street press under the prctext OF
