Now or never, fellow citizens, is the
time for this important fact to be blazoned
abroad. Trumpet the truth aloud, through
the streets and from the house tops. Tell
it in Gath, and publish it in the streets of
Ascalon, in Washington and in New Or
leans, and in Aigicrs tefore New Orleans.
and IN the great future city of Bath behind
New Orleans, and at Prairie Cottage, and
| at Bayou La Branche, and every where
before and behind and around New Orleans
as we'll as in every other part, parcel and
portion of these great United States.
heep ii before the people. Awaken the
echoes in the iarthest corners of the Union,
and thrill the nation with the loud reverbe-
ration. Fellow countrymen, unborn mil
lions are yet to pronounce upon our acts, so
just look out what you are about. We are
just stepping over the first stumbling block
In the way of republicanism, and if you are
not cautious you will bark your shins,
sprain your ankles, orlall upon your noses
Two more big stones are in our path, and
when we succeed IN rolling them out Of the
way, we may at once proceed to laying the
irons for grand railroad track TO eternity.
But keep THIS thing before the people,
yes, and behind the people, and all around
the people, so that the people can't posi-
bly, move without seeing it or tumbling
over it. Hang it upon the horns of the
moon, that all the world may look at it,
or if you can't hang it on the moon, hang
it on the talIest liberty pole you can find,
and if you can't find liberty pole, why,
hang the thing, hang it somewhere else.
Only keep IL before the people, because,
although the people don't care two pins
about it, yet, if you make noise on the
subject, 1t will appear very clear 10 them
that the thing is Of some consequence,
and the more noise you make the better.
1t would be an excellent plan to send
out TO China for a cargo of the loudtast
kind Of gongs, and set them a going all
| over the States to the tune of Come to
Dinner" Then, when you get the peo-
pie all seated, with their mouths wide
open, pull up the curtain, and exhibit this
new Gorgon!
Freeman of America, guardians Of the
country, brothers of the press, we charge
you, with tears in our eyes, to keep this
thing before the people Remember Bun
ker Hill and the battle of New Orleans.
and keep it before the people! Think OF
your wives and children, and your chill
drcn'S children, and keep it before the peo-
pie !! Lay your hands upon your hearts,
and keep it before the people Put your
hands into your pockets and keep ii before
the people
We don't know exactly what il is. or
what it means, and we haven't time TO
inquire; bat we observe all our political
neighbors are extremely anxious about it,
SO, as in duty bound, we implore you,as you
love your country, Keep 1t before the people
Look Ou.-AItering bank notes by a
chemical process is now accomplished in a
factory somewhere with great skill and
| success. We saw yesterday one dollar
note Of the Morris Co. bank at Morristown,
n. J. which was admirably done. 1t was
the first of the kind which had appeared in
Wall street, and but for the vignette might
have passed the scrutiny of any of the bro
