I'M. s.oona American Revolution.


anarchy. despotism or dlsunIon, we cannot exactly
tell.
The latest steps have been taken IN Washington
e, the House of Representatives, who have passed
a., resolution 10 Law violent hands on the Consiltu
ton. and abolish the veto power-one OF the only
powers in it of value. The present Congress refuse
10 raise revenue, because nhe President vetoed a
few bills In Ohio, the State government has been
dissolved by the secession of the wings from the
legislature. Half the banks broken, and halt
the States are bankrupt The manufacturing and
commercial classes are breaking daily, and none
seem TO be solid or steady but the farmers, me
chanics small cash traders, proprietors OF penny
papers, or publishers of literature on the cheap
system.
In the mean time, those who can, still laugh and
grow Fat. The day of judgment is not come.
The DEVELOPMENT OF WALL-sTREET FAsHIoNA-
BILE Morals The exposition which has been CIV
en- of the vast trade carried on here IN hcentlous
prints and books, by the arrest of the dealers is no.
thing TO what remains TO be told.
The head of the trade is Richard Hobbies, an Eng
fish printer probably very much in favor OF a copy
right law, who came 10 this country about twelve
years ago. He has a very fine wife, who is a men,
Der of the church, and he himself is pous chris
tian-but somewhat hard We not sure whe
7her he has any daughters, according 10 the first
statement. He has very splendid establishment
in East Chester consisting of houses, materials,
stereotype plates, and bindery, worth 100000 Its
supposed he has cleared fortune of $4,000 by this
demorazlng traffic
But the mode of transacilng his business and the
class OF purchasers are the most astounding. We are
informed that Hobbies or his agents, attended all the
famous Book Trade sales in town, when the country
booksellers were brought here, and privately vended
large quantities OF his licentious works, along with
classical, biblical, and other literature His agents
in town who have been arrested, are a few only of
the retail deaers-the wholesale dealers are respect
able and have escaped,
The purchasers of those horrible publications are
not the poor or the working classes. These books
are sold at high prices, and are principally bought,
read, and gloated over, by the leading classes-pol
tlcians fnanciers, lawyers, and merchants-pre
cisely such patronize the Wall-street prints
Young in fashionable society, who talk OF their
wealth, birth, and responsibility, read and buy
these works-ake them in their trunks to all water
ing places and expose them IN their rooms to cor
rupt chamber-mads. We have heard of a case OF
this kind that took place at Saratoga this season,
and the miserable, mustachioed scoundrel deserves
10 be exposed.
Ths character of these books, prints and engra-
wings scripiural, well classical-but all
ceedlngly lcentious. They cannot be described,
so abominable they. Some of them are beauii
fully colored on fine paper, with tissue covers SO
as 10 present several views in picture. OF this
class is the stock in trade of II. r. Robinson, who
so distinguished himself in the hard cider cam
Paign
Indeed-indeed-thi whole development is one
of the most astounding that ever was made of the
gross iwickedness of the higher or would. be-arlsto-
cratic classes of society-those mpudent preenders
who call themselves fashionable and respectable
Members of cabinets, great fnancers, mighty
LAWYERS wonderful statesmen, have been the secret
fosterers and purchasers of this horrible class OF
liscentious literature In this most astounding de
velopment, we have found new TO account for
reputation, bank frauds, deiacatlons, and all man
ner of late enormles II proves this fact, that the
higher classes of society utterly corrupt and rot
ten, and that the name and reputation of the coun-
try rest alone on the honesty, virtue and integrity OF
the mddling and lower classes
LORD AsHBURroS's MOVEMENTS We understand
that Lord Ashburton arrived at Philadelphia yester-
day al o'clock, and took lodgings al the Washing
ton House. He will remain till tomorrow or Mon
q
hrfe in the Aston House, and probably decline the
offer of the City Hall. 1t is yet uncertain whether
any public tfte will be given his Lordship. All the
Boz blockheads are so much ashamed of their con-
duct, that none comes forward. No matter--ihe
tete of James G.. King will be given, and no mis-
take. This will be the greatJete of 1872 Vast pre-
parations are making. A full account, down 10 the
last turn of the snipe, will be given our readers.

INFLUENCE OF Col. WEBB IN THE New YORK Cus-
TOM HoUsE.-We understand that Robt. 5. Manin,
formerly employed by us TO command our news fleet
was removed by Mr. Curtis, because Col Webb
thought Martin was too friendly to the Herald
Admirable reason Webb wrote letter to the Col
lector demanding the removal of Martin, and the
thing was done. Ii is queer thing that Captain
Tyler's dearest FRIENDSHIP controlled by his bit
terest enemies. A little suspended animation as
John @. Adams calls the effects of the veto on the
ultra wings, is wanted in New York very much.
THE "YoUNc DEMOCRACY OF AMERIcA"-THH
PROPOSED BATTERY Mass MEETINe.-The prepara-
tons for this meeting going ahead very fast -
The "young democracy must beware of the tricks
of the " old democracy" and the ''old clio men"
We hear that Noah and his little eliqpc intend TO
take the meeting in their own hands, and turn it TO
the account of the chariatGns attached TO the Gus.
tom House and Post Office. The Kinderhook
Clique is also opposed TO this movement-but the
young democracy of America is now for the first
time In motion, and they will take cffectual care OF
" old hacks" old democrats" old fools'-and
old co men"
MfsNANAeEMENT IN THE LONG ISLAND RoAD.-We
have long and well written account of the misman-
agement on the Long Island Railroad-and the an
noyance occasioned TO passengers thereby. We
shallpublish il tomorrow If these roads expect be-
raj patronage, they must give prompt attention to
their business and employees
