Abls.r Thereupcn the two Republi
can Journals, the Nesss and Gazette, CRY
ont against the right Of petition! AL
! the Council have done was eminently
proper. Let people petition, but lay
those petitions upon the table, unit
, the legal questions are settled by the
proper tribunal. We suspect that the
: real sore spot Of the News |" the fact
! that the Report contradicts and exposes
, its statement Of facts in reference to
Main Street; and when the Ne,cs adds,
perhaps another election will awake
our despotic Aldermen to the fact, that
the people will not forget them in their
unprecedented contempt Of their con-
! stitucnt's clearly defined Wishes" We
are inclined to laugh. That threat is
an annihilator. The "despotic Alder
men" "had better tremble, when this
Lilliputian of the Necs hurls his dread
} thundorbolts (D at their devoted
J heads! !"
But the most laughable thing Of all
is the rage Of the other Republican
, journal, the Gazette. The Junior OBJ.
tanned the special privilege Of seat in
the Council, that he might abuse its
members. He has invited attention
from Councilmen by bis u1justiisble
personalities, and now, having failed in
carrying his point on the Main Street
question, he raves with oil the fury Of
an angercd mouse. He talks about
, the people being treated 'like dogs
, and such twaddle, simply because the
/. Council have respected the wishes Of 8
. very large majority Of the people, tho
, legal rights Of those living on MAR
Street, and properly determined to
& take no further action until the Court
have settled the legal questions, in the
cases pending. 1t strikes us that both
of the Republican journals whose lost
labors, and past follies cause them deep
chagrin, had better be employed in
better business, than fighting again st
public improvements, and abusing the
Citv Council.
