At meeting Of the pstvs sonscriPti Of the "ow
party" 1t TamnaRy Hall the other evening, it was
resolved TO FIRE offone hundred great guns from the
Battery on the 4th of March ne1t in celebration Of
the accession to power Of "om candidate" Mr. Van
Buren,.
This will be one sfthe greatest ceremonies that
has taken place in tho world since the Openng ofths
Seven Seals" described by the Holy Apostle during
his Punishment to the Isle Of Patmos.
We desire the people to look on and behold.
On the firing of the first big gan in honor of Mr..
Ven Bsrcn's election the price Of -four will fall from
sl3 per barrel to ~ 50-rye from 81 rs per bushe to
SO cents-potatoes one half-brcad one third and the
sxpcnny losves will swell out an astonishing bulk
too mysterious to understand.
After silence of halfa minute the second big gun
will be fired of, rolling the smoke and flame along
the battery like an eruption from volcano As soon
as the big voice of the second gun shall be revebeated
from the trembling shores of New jersey the price OF
fuel will fall from Sl4 per ton to % or SS-the coal
yards will be crowded with busy mensurers-the
weight will be full and the measure running oer-the
ten thousand voters of venerable President fresh
from Undertook, will find themselves ranged around
most comfortable anthracite fire. warm, comfortable
and enjoying Themselves to their hearts content.
When the word shall be given for loading the third
big gun, singular sensation will be felt over all the
meat markets throughout the land. The match ap-
plied-ihe volume of smoke and flame PUSHES down
the avenue like tonent--he big voice of the third
gun fills the whole atmosphere-and instantly will
the price Of beef mutton and sausages for the poor
from IA and Is cents per pound to 10 and IL cents
The happy well fed wreiches will be busy dealing out
to the people hungry wolves cheap beef steaks and
surlons and chops at hafprice. The people will be
eating and laughing-blessing their good luck that
they call themselves democrats and to have voted
for Martin Van Buren. The poor, famshed skeletons
of both sexes, WILL at the voice Of this great gum
swell out in the cheeks-get fat and stout about the
their spindle shanks-and all become
fat, fair and happy with the rapidity Of enchantment
AT the firing Of the fourth guh all the rents of the
city of New York will fall 30 per cent. The tickets
now put up the ten thousand houses at average
advance of 40 per cent will fall down the pave
ments and crumble into dust-the landlords will be-
come liberal and generous Van Buren, the prince of
andlords is President-and the gripping rascals who
:rawl with their gold headed canes, and cadaverous
ooks, from house to house, will become generous
LIBERAL and enlightened men,
At the firing Of the GM gum therate of interest and
domestic exchange will fall to the legal point The
lsurers will give up shaving and the bankers loaning
At 3 or per cent month. The banks will throw
open their books and allow general investigation OF
their affairs There will be great JOY in Wall street,
and honest will then be seen occasionally in that
lhorougsfare of trade Brokers will become saints
Ill differences will be paid upthe curses on Morris
will be taken of-and the very angels will look down
rom the blue ETHEREAL clouds above, wipng their eyes
with their roseate wings and expressing the greatest
1eghl at the publication of Wall street.-the greatest
street.-The most wonderful street.-the most mystic
oas street, that yet reared its palaces upon high
heaven.
At tho firing of the sirM gum the wages of all me-
chancs in New York will be doubled-work will be |
rs plenty water in rain storm The pocket of |
every working man from the Five Points TO Harlem
will be stuffed with big purse-and through the in
terstices Of that purse will be seen the beautiful
brilliant yellow eagle, half eagle and quarter eagle,
peeping forth like beauty from cage. Every poor
mechanics wife will find on her head . new bonnet
and on her feet pair Of new shoes. Every decent
servant pretty, smiling young woman, with rosy lips
and ripe cheeks will find herself like Cinderella ar
rayed in elegant new silk dress and if the sun is
warm, she will, by some means other find a green
paraso stuck into her soft hand TO shade her fair
brow from mondays mpudsnt beams Of light And |
such will be the effect produced by firing off the |
sixth big gun, honor Of the accession Of Martin Van
Buren,.
Al the firing of the sepenfh gun, there will be silence
in the Kitchen Cabinet at Washington for half an |
hour In an instant thereafter, all the cooks and |
scuons will raise up general chorus to the honor of
Martin, thus:-
