Address.
Fellow CITIZENS We present for your suffrages
Cuban G. Verplapck for Senator, and 49, f%ss@ and
Joseph Hoxie for County Clerk. Of this latter gen.
tleman must speak word IL Will be recollecied
that, last year, prl said to be very beauuu, but
very fra was killed with hatcher, by one Richard
p Robinson. The murder took place at a very fash
ionable house, kept by Roslna Townsend, to accom-
MEDIATE respe ctabe young merchants, drummers aud
other gentlemen connected with trade. 1t was dec
dedy one of the most elegant establishments OF the
kind ever known, and great honor to the taste
and lberaty of New York At this celebrated place.
vice was dressed daily in elegant silks and beautiful
embroidery, and RIGHTEOUSNESS put on the air and car
rage of virtue and gracefulness Not rag was
seen nhsui the establishment. Ii was one of the
best semlnaries for finishing the education of young
gentlemen in trade that this city ever saw or ever will
see.
Among others who frequcn.cd that fashionable re-
sort was as we have already stated, Richard p. Ro
biassn, young man of uncommon prudence, and
great skill, specially in the transactions OF Texas
scrip. He was finishing his education BY frequent
ing that place he became acquainted with the first
classes of society and associated with the highest in
the land. Merchants, bankers fnanccrs, auctio-
necrs &c. No mechanics, thank God! OF course he
knew secrets. In fit Of pure love II seems he took
one day little mite of Ratchet from store in Mai
den Lane and out Of mere frolic only knocked FL
len Jewett on the head gentle blow two, which,
very naturally produced her death. In order to
ceal this slight mistake, he set fire TO the room, and
would have undoubtedly buried all traces Of the
blundor in general confagrntion. In the hurry to
escape, being young man unaccustomed to such
frolics he left the cloak and the hatchet in the yard
behind him.
Well the girl died. and the myrmidons of the law
ruised great umpus-lobinson arrested, Edic
ted and would have probably been convicted and sent
20 the state prison for e but for the friendly efforts of
Mr. Joseph Hoxc who stood by him, day after day, sat
his side in the court and sustained his steps out Of
court IL 10 well known that on that trial, great ef
forts we've made TO get Mt the secrets of the prison
house. the secrets OF the Thomas street Hotel but,
by means Of good counsel, nothing implicning the
responsibility of its frequentcrs were allowed to
tran.pire. After a tedious tral, Robinson was
acquitted for want Of sufficient evidence and thus
was a triumph gained over that stern old hag JUS
tice, who wsuld remorseessly send yosng men in
good society to the State Prison, place only fit
60 receive the poor the faiherlcss the orphan, and
those in low life who commit petty theft and cannot
pay counsel and buy up editors.
For the services Of Mr.. Hoxie on that particular
trial. OF friends in the seventh ward elected
him last spring for alderman. On the bench and in the
board he has acted the same principles that dstin-
gulshcd his conduct in Robnsons affair He has sup
ported oil those measures in the corporation by which
the prce OF beef has been kept up 10 IS cents per
pound during season Of plenty, and thus taught oil

tious Tie has on every occasion sentenced poor
convicts for the slightest crimes TO the severes pun

portunty, Joseph Hoxie has aided the cause Of the

very properly supported every measure which could
keep the nose Of the poer the widow, the orphan
hard at the grindstone of poverty. He 10 also the
