Close to my side-a large band of Mar

military company aboard, all strutting and

But these soldiers around me They
are queer set Miserable looking, shabby,
drinking fellows-just the men to steal, plum
der, burn and murder. Yet they swell and
strut, goLble-Turkey like-as though the
world could not contain them. 1t is sin
gular fact that the military of New York city
is made up mainly of Irish, of the very low
est and most abandoned cast These are the
gallant protectors! 1t is strange that our
observation-disclosures, Webster g. Co.
have TO call men from the mud cabins of
Ireland, to come over here to aid them to
hunt out and kidnap those who seek to rise
from slavery to freedom.
But we approach New York city. The
day is fine. The music puts all in good humor.
The Harbor of New York, is unsurpassed in
the world for safety, size and convenience.
The soldiers are mastering TO go ofi'-and
we must all move off together. Strange that
society will maintain band of hired assas-
sins under the name of soldiers, for protec-
ton. The same Military power, is the cor
ner stone of all despotism and slavery.
