FRIDAY, APRIL so, 1858.

Red Republicanism in New York is growing
rampant. 1t was but the other day that crowd
of greasy and hirSute refugees got up demonstra-
ton in honor of two Italian assassins, and venti-
lated their patriotism in passionate datribes against
Louis Napoleon. Being prudent as well
ageous, and justly fearing their proceedings might
lead to a counter demonstration, during which
some gentleman might tread on the tail of some
other gentleman's coat and thereupon a general
ensue, the leaders of the movement first
sought to ascertain to what extent they might RELY
upon the protection of the police. Being Quoted
by an official response they ventured to carry out
their programme The whole affair." as we have
previously stated, passed off quietly enough The
orators prided themselves upon the with which
they mastered the vocabulary of Billingsgate and
their auditors appauded to the echo.
Subsequent reflection however having con-
WINGED the chief actors in this ragcomical extrav-
aganza that this mode of ''renowning it, was ''fa
stale and Improbable" they determined to arrest
public attention by combining daring project
with speculation that would pay. They accord
ingly issued a prospectus for joint stock COM
pany. Its avowed object was the assassination of
Louis Napoleon. The shares might not indeed be
so eagerly sought after those of the credit mobil-
ier but the inducements were flattering neverthe-
less for the working expenses, it was understood
would be just nothing at all, the entire receipts
could be divided as profits 1t was a capital
scheme for making money, provided sufficient
number of people could be found sufficiently cred
ulous to invest in a sinking fund so perfectly
orthodox
But there was still some semblance of machinery
required as evidence of working capacity. Some
body must be put forward as willing to undertake
the job, and so a Mr.. Heinzen was formally an
nounced as the individual who was willing to
suffer political martyrdom--for a consideration
A capital of three hundred dollars, United States
currency, was at once paid in, with a contingent
remainder of a box of Hungarian wine to be drank
after the deed had been accomplished.
But if this is an age of creduty it is also one of
unbelief Skeptics asked ''who is this Guy of War
wick that promises to STAY the Dragon? Let us
know something about him. Bring him forward
and show him to us that we may be certain he is
not myth" In answer to this the Criminal Zeitung
the German Police Gazette of New York-no bad
authority in such case-states that the daring
asprant is a rabid Red Republican of Teutonic
lineage who edits in New York a paper called the
Pioneer.
The Criminal Zeitung, however, in the most
amiable manner imaginable, regrets that some sus-
picious people believe that behind his offer TO be-
come the avenger of an enslaved nation and to
acquire through the assassination of Louis Napoleon
the crown of martrydom, there yet turks an indus
trial coup detat-in other words that Mr. Heinzen
is on mendicant mission for supplies-and fur
thermore, adds the Zeiung, malciously -perhapsh he
aooud not go at all to the head quarters Of the Bandit
euen if he aeere furnished acith the means for the
journey.
Being thus rudely dragged before the public
curtain, Mr.. Heinzen appears in propria persona
and begs leave to state that he is neither Guy of
Warwick nor Guy Fawkes, nor any other Guy what
ever. He contesses that t would cost no sacrifice
of feeling on his part to rid the world from such a
monster but having taken a survey of the field
of operations, and found it covered already with
the bones of previous martyrs" he feels no in
clination whatever to include among them his own
particular osseous structure. This important dis
cussion being thus summarily closed, the next
question to be elucdated is, what is TO become of
the three hundred dollars cash capital already in
vested and who is to be entitled to the possession
of that conditional box of Hungarian wines?
