SOMETHING Coon Our OF NAZARETH AT LAST
We have published q good many absurd and
stupid articles from the provincial press upon
the city OF New York, being moved to dc so by
a sense Of duty. We believed that the best
way to expose the ignorance and malevoencs
Of the rural editors-fellows who come to the
city for spree and go cruising about on the
Points, or in houses Of i'll fame--was te quote
their own words. They don't hurt us bit
Our people only laugh at them, and wonder that
men who act themselves up as public guides
and teachers ard are so accepted. will thus ex-
pose themselves to the rdicule and contempt
Of every person who is even moderately well
informed. Once in a while, however, we come
across provincial editor who has little more
sense than the majority of his confreres. Such
an one has written an article, which we copy
from the Richmond Dispatch. "The City OF
New York" is the subject of the article referred
to, and the writer pays Just tribute to the
earnest, enterprising, steady going, Union
loving people of the metropolis. As the Rich
mond writer says, New York stands out firmly
for the Union, and be is quite safe in predict
ing that ''this chivalrous metropolis will main
tain her character to the last, and, il she loses
sll else in this contest, will not lose her
honor"
The fact ia that the city of New York occu-
pies at the present juncture prouder position
than she ever before held. 1t has been pretty
generally sckno ~ledged that this city is, like
Paris, not only the chief place in q nation. but
really the capital of q continent. We Of New
York supply the Western hemisphere, and We
can justly claim to be the Empire City Of
America. But as yet We have only just com
menced. BY and-by, when We have secured
the success Of the fusion ticket, aud defeated
our Central Park and laid out the upper part
Of the island properly; when We have settled

and the little account Of the Prince Of
Wales ball from Peter Cooper 4 Co., we
intend TO show our rural friends city with ct
least two millions Of inhabitants-a metropolis
unequalled since the palmy days Of old Rome,
the mistress Of the world.
II, however, Northern fansticism should tri-
umph over US, and the Southern States should
exercise their undeniable right to secede froo
the Union, then the city OF New York, the river
counties, the State Of New jersey, and very
likely Connecticut, would separate from thoss
New England and Western States where the
black nan Is put upon pinnacle above the
white. New York city is for the Union frat,
and The gallant and chivalrous South after
wards.
