The new appellation of the re pudiators is
the most appropriate thing now extant. 1t
would be amusing, perhaps, to the curious, to
know how il originated. In the City of New
York there exists a certain species of the
human family, commonly distinguished as the
light fingered gentry" who rom their great
adherence to Police Discipline and the peculiar
effect of lights upon the successful practice OF
their professions, inhabit the cellars--from this
they have been called ubterraneans-conceal-
ing themselves by day, and shulking out at night
like owls to commit their depredations upon
their unSuspecting Prey. Whenever the Loco
focos in the City wish to carry point, and think
it will be close pull they appoint their meet
ings at night, and send around for these subter
ranean inhabitants to help them out, promising
as reward, to break up in a row for their spe-
cal benefit Many are the pockets and fobs
that 60 home empty that night. As branch
of the same family, the regulators of Mississip-
pi have been honored with the same name.
