and ready money men. That's what We would do
But to the bold Cotton Spectator we say, ego

snake the English pay"-"let the rascal who 10
without sin in Wall street throw the first stone At
you" That's ALL
FIRE FIRE FIRE.-The Buttenders," whose
organ is the audacious New Era" have been de-
eated by the sensible portion Of the democrats In the
Corporation, touching the recent imbrogiiamento IN
the Fire Department. This useful and valuable BODY
Of men are now in statu quo ante belium and there
we trust they will long remain, untouched by the
politicians Of either party If the sensible portion OF
the /" democracy do not put down the " buttenders
of the Era faction, they will themselves be swamped
long before November The noise and clamor raised
by the wings had good effect-Aamey, 1t reused
the honest portion of the democracy to retrace their
| steps and place things right again Here is an ex-
ample of the great utility of both parties in our form
| Of popular government When the locofocos do
wrong, the camor Of the wings make them pause
when the wings, vice versa. Even President Van
Buren, is much softened down in his ultra notions OF
late. N. B.-We desire the democrats to beware Of
the Era 1t is managed by band Of reckless,
needless, rash, unprinciped, grasping, dangerous,
foolish If they don't take care, it will swamp
them all yet.
CooL AND CoMFoRrABLE.-Contoit who keeps
the famous Ice Cream establishment in the upper
part of Broadway clears from $50 900 to 2o,OOO per
annum on this article alone. He is believed to be
worth about S2OOO 900 Observation-Disclosures ten or
eleven sons and daughters worth $4,000 more in
obedience and good qualities. He owns about S52,.
600 in Manhattan bank stock aone-besides the
house and lot on which he resides. Some time ago
person advised him to quit his business for some
other-s'what would you have me do?'' retorted
Contoit-"I know nothing else-I cannot be idle-I
must stick the ice cream if should make $4,000
a yearly Carl l cannot help it."
Contoit makes, at present, Ieetie more per annum
than do Possibly this may arise from certain eau
Some say that every year Contot's glasses get
smaller and smailer-now my paper every year gets
larger and larger-witness the double sheet, &c
Contoit must enlarge his glasses, otherwise shall
ask Parkinson of Philadelphia start opposition,
and get by the Rail Road, the rich cream OF Phila-
depha to ice the fashionables out Of their money
and their wits.
Locoroco FoLLy.-The ridiculous hubbub which
the locofocos have kicked up in the Fire Depart
ment, is the only foolish thing they have perpe
trated during the few days they have enjoyed
power.
For many years past, Mr.. Carr, practical gar
dener and worthy man, had charge Of all the pub
lie squares of this city. Amid all the fluctuations
of party for the last fifteen years, thought of
touching him. The Battery, the Park, Washington
Square, and many other public squares, test his skill
and taste in laying out and preserving public grounds.
Yet in the midst of this usefulness, the locofocos
laid their hands upon Mr. Carr, and have removed
him in order to put in his place Mr.. Theall, a very
no md rl hutw wi p uofse ek he nj
and who knows little practically Of its peculiar
duties.
II the locofocos want to destroy the beauty and
elegance of public squares, they have taken the
best method to accomplish that purpose; but il they
do not wish to destroy but TO preserve, then adj
wise them to restore Mr.. Carr, still locofoco, and
give Mr.. Theall another office suitable to his
capacity and knowledge.
THE BIBLE IN ScHooLs.-What is the reason that
the young men Of the present day are so heartess
so rreligious 80 profane so unfeeling SO unac-
quaned with all the great sympathies Of God and Of
nature We verify believe it arises from banishins
the Old and New Testaments from primary schools,
and supplying their places with the affected, cold,
artificial unnatural school books Of the present day.
Our first lessons in reading were in the New Tesla
men and the examples offeeling, virtue and natural
pathos, recorded in the history Of the beloved Sa-
viour, have exercised influence over the magma
tisn that nothing can erase-nothing destroy. On
this have character, resolution and been
founded. For Gods sake--for the sake Of nature
and Of humanity, take back the Bible to the early
school room.
o. YELLOW FgvER ExPKcrEp-If the locofoco
Corporation do not keep the streets cleaner than
their dirty hands and faces, shall have yell
low fever, cholera, and every other epidemic, in the
city, by which casualties 5000 good ocofoco votes
will be lost at the next election. Think Of that,
