his iniquity is very materially abridged and his
chances for dissolution very materially enlarged.
But badinage apart-it is very amusing to see
any locofoco journal summon up courage, ASST
rance, or rather impudence, brazen-taced impu-
dence, simple brazen-faced impudence enough to
talk about morals in relation to James Harper,
because he publishes the light works of France
and England. Here is party in this same City OF
| New York whose leaders and chief men, day after
day, and night after night, and from year to year,
see the city covered with all sorts of moral pollu-
tion-reeking with all sorts of RIGHTEOUSNESS
disgraced by crime of all sorts--gambling-
houses-houses Of i'll fame--every species

move their little finger in eort stem this flood

at he awful revelations in Mr.. Alderman Tilou's
report-see then with what reeking RIGHTEOUSNESS
with what fraud, with what wickedness, with wha
shameless breaches of trust, with what utter faith
lessness to duty this city is covereda lead of pol
luton and guilt more than enough to sink ten
Sodoms and Gomorrahs in the depths of the
ocean. And yet in the face Of all this,
these men-these locofoco leaders-these vIr-
tuous guardians of the public morals-these
admirers of purity and honor, under whose wings
vice and immortality hatch their eggs and noursh
their polluted brood-these men actually come for

We trust that the people of this city will avenge
such outrages on the sacred interests Of morality
We trust that when they so to the polls next Tues

solemn duties to discharge.
