VICTORIOUS AT LAST.

I IKE the lovely and free Republic of the United
IL States, misrepresented by the hypocritcal
Priesthood of Mexico to their unenlightened in
habtants, so have some of the neighbors (olher
Merchonts) of the New York Cheap Cash Store,
slandered and misrepresented, yes, and whilst they
stood masked in the cloak of religion, as the
Devil in the shape of serpent when tempting
Eve, have made those an object of their sport and
pleasure on whose weak minds they could leave
a small impression, by their bitter calumny against
s. Chids a. Brothers.
But like the high soaring American Eagle
spreading its wings farther and farther, so has the
New York Cheap Cash Store, sounded its cele-
braied name throughout this vast domain. Hence
forth no falsehood was too black for them to tell
to keep persons in ignorance not even to try
where they could better themselves, for like Mex.
leans would desert their own Government, by Civ
ing them one small foretaste of the sweets Of
American liberty. For they well knew that once
trying, these men at the New York Store, would
at lay before the public eye that mpostorious
treatment Yes, that taking advantage Of neces-
siy, which has been practised upon the commu
nifty heretofore. But Americans are not so dull
of comprehension as Mexicans. In spite of these
base slanderers the New York Store still contn.
ues to maintain the good name, which it has by
its own merit spread far and wide. Who wiask
the question, what have these men done that |
should be afraid to deal with them, (but not Isl
what do other merchants say about them.) Even
| if they would cheat when they get chance, will
not nearly all merchants do that! Still would
rather risk q man who has all chances to sell
cheap, which follows: One large importing
house in New York city, one Wholesale House in
Cincinnati, one retail store in Glasgow and one in
Lexington, Mo-, who can lay in goods as cheap as
they can in the Western country, and those men
who were raised in business who know well
enough the old maxim that nimble penny is better
than slow siXponce. And just notice their ad-
verlisements, III the paper, what q tremendous and
well selected stock Of goods they are just receiv-
ing, in that splendid large new brick house they
have erected this summer on the river above Car
rolls. Why would certainly rather give them
the same price for goods--just to see that spen-
did stock, that magnificent house, and how well it
is arranged When you go there you need not
stand all day and wait until some person thinks
proper to wait on you, for they always have some
five or six clerks, then how conveniently the
ladies can sit down, along the counter whilst
dealing, and after all that convenience, you can
go there and buy as many goods for $40, as you
Gun any where else for Sl5 or $50.
Now, what can you other merchants say! you
admit they have the advantage of you, but they
are Jews; Jew is better than hypocritica low
principled man, who calls himself Christian
Even you who call yourselves republicans, would
that be following the example Of your iustrious
forefathers, if we were to mistreat man, who
leaves his own native soil, and all that is near and
dear to him, to seek refuge from monarchical
oppression and who if called upon would fight I'M
der the stars and stripes of the United States Of
America, even if Catholic or Jew by descend
ance or religion. No! no, not the name makes the
man but the good heart, and his actions will
chrisen him by the name of gentleman and these
are the men, who oil republicans will go for. For
they have through their dependence on your re.
pubicanism. permanently located themselves
among you, gone to the expense Of building
splendid business house, which beauties your
town, and enhances your country, and able and
willing to furnish your country with merchandise
lower than any one has ever done, so sincerely
hope, that this sentence will echo from the heart
of every one, who considers himself true republic
can, encourage those who deserves it most, and
if you do not need the money that you will save
by dealing with those men give it to the poor.
