Correspondence Of the Herald
BUFFALO, January 26, 1872.
Bankrupt La,c in Bu6alo-E6sct Of the Ne,cs from
Washington Fashions Trade.
FRIExp BENSErr:-
My letter Of the 26th ultmo published in your
paper which arrived this morning has created a
greatsxcitement among the dry good dealers though
they do not pretend to deny the facts therein
tanned, but contend "the truth should not be spo'
ken at all times" If the press would boldly and
independently speak the truth at all times would it
not be better for the community
The news of the defeat Of the repeal movement
has caused general rejoicing among our citizens.
A great crowd met at the American on the even.
ing Of the arrival of the Herald of Monday last and
declaring they could afford shilling drinks, rtjoiced
themselves into excitement; some rent home and
some went to bed and some slept on the floor. 1t
really makes one disguised with his species, to
such display Of the swinish proPensities in his
fellow men.
In politics we have little m ore excitement than
when wrote youlas Oar charter election takes
placejthe first Monday in next month. Mr. Clinton,
sonefthe immortal Dewitt Clinton was brought for
ward by his friends, Ueading men from both par
ties) and nominated for Mayor; with the under-
standing that their should be NO opposition to him
ly made that patty crazy; they began Growing, and
laughing at the wings as a FUSED up community"
This didn't suit the wing friends Of Mr.. Clinton,
and that gentleman came out with card declining
now as submissive the ''prod gal SOM spoken Of
inscripiure. They a'e done for and they may Is
well turn in, the, did last year with the fractions
wings, aud elect the biggest fool they can find.
here, and there is but feeling expressed, viz
that il is all CANNON the Southerners
much horror at the dissolution of the Union, when
they have held it the heads Of the Northcrners
as flaming sword for the last fifteen years, to
them into their measures. The dread that the PEG.
pie Of this section have formerly looked upon q
dissolution Of the Union has completely vanished,
and the common talk is et the South go to the dc.
don't behave themselves as neghbors we will drive
| them into the Everglades OF Florida" As bad
this may sound to your old eastern patriots, il is
nevertheless the common talk here.
We have most unseasonaba weather here; II 10
like April There is but little ice IN the lake, net
enough TO impede navigation, and were their pas.
| sengers enough to support them, steamboats, would
now be running between here and Detroit.
Our fashisnables are getting awake, aud we are
now having parties every evening in aweek. VIVA
is little amusing is that those who make and have
been making the greatest display in this respect,
are subjects for the bankrupt law. | believe their
only regret is that they have mt been more gay and
fashionable in times past Mrs. T, Of Wash
ington street, whose husband is one OF the most
honorable gave the most brilliant party
last evening we have had this year. have not
time, neither would it very much interest your
readers to describ, IT, Suffice it to say that great
portion of the right minded people who are invit
ed to his great Displays Of wealth. when il does not
exist, are sickened and disguised, and go to church
and pray. The young gentlemen who attend are
generally Tiitlebat Ttmouses, who go to any place
they can get an invitation to.
Business is yet dull The Canadian disturbances
which usually excite little attention here in the
winter now we hear nothing Of. A little smuggliny
is carried on by some Of eur merchants, but even
that is poor business this winter; nothing can be
done and we must remain quietly as we are till
May, when the canal will be open, and we will
take an other leap for greatness.
Yours, JoHN
