SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 4, 1859.
VERY HARD RUN.
The " independent Delta--what misnomer when |
applied to that journal lis evidently hard rum Its
stock of defamation and assertion Is running Short
and will soon run out entirely, unless philan
thropic individual furnishes it with small assort
ment OF fact. However dminutive the supply, no
doubt it will be gratefully received, if not publicly
acknowledged.
The Delta thus commences an article in its yester
days morning issue, in reply to the Crescent:
The Crescent claims for the present City Council |
the credit Of economical and Just administration,
of reduced taxes and general sympathy for and
kindly interest in the Taxpayers
To array all the facts, in refutation OF this preten
sion would leave us no time or space for anything
else.
And the Delta has not refnted single material
proposition of the Crescent. 1t has met plain state.
ments of facts by innuendo Implication insinuaon,
references to the dead of dead past and brought up
matters having no more bearing upon the present
contest than the waters of the Dead Sea have upon
the overlows Of the Mississippi Valley. 1t has met
| no ssue-controverted no point-and in not single
particular has it shown that the present is not good
| If not the best, Common Council we ever have had,
or that the American ticket is not able, irreproach-
able and altogether worthy popular confidence and
| support, in every conceivable respect.
Being completely hemmed in by iron facts, it is no
wonder that the astute conductors of that journal
seek to break the force Of their fall by assumptions
having nothing to rest upon They try to "put
good face the matter, and delude the unrefecting
by saying: ITO array all the facts in refutation Of
this pretension, would leave US no time space for
anything ese.'
Altogether an error All the facts you could
'array against the statements of the Crescent would
require little "tme" and less "space" They wouldn't
encroach upon your valuable room, or occupy your
equally valuable time Itcosts precious little
time to array that which has no existence except
in an exuberant and stimulated imagination.
But, if =" facts - were attanabe, calculated to ad.
vance the Delta's side Of the question: does any one
imagine for instant that time "space" would
be permitted to interfere with their production?
After having thus abandoned the main question, the
Delta shifts it, position and strives to fix the charge
of extravaganza upon the Counci by citing the salary
paid the Chairmen of the Finance Committee and
inveighing against the fees received by the Assistant
City Attorney. Here, as usual it blunders wofully
The state--the sovereign power over the Council
fixed the salary of the Chairmen of the Finance Com
mi.tees and the State s therefore, responsible for any
wrong that may have been done if any has been done
which we do not believe. for the fees of the Assist
ant City Attorney, they about the same that have
l. been paid for time immemoriaI, in accordance will
law, as enacted by the Legislature.
The Delta had better subsde :" at once if it can
not make out better Even if its isolated in
II stances we'll founded, and we have shown tina
they not not single fact brought forward by thu
n Crescent in favor of the Common Council, and thu
% American ticket, wonld be invalidated They wou,
still stand erect, plain and impregnable.
