. delegation Of high moral democratic
chaps from the Great Northwest, the other
day; their mission beng, 20 protest against
all further continuation Of q war which has
dsgenesated into msre bloudshed for the
sake Of New England; !; and TO suggest that
a convention OF all the States be as once
held ip Kentucky, to arrange Peace that
shall Be acceptable to the Great Northwest.
was asking the thoughtful Chairman of
the delegation what were his particular
grievances, and says he /: '-....-, ..-..s..
stThis wsr is running much valuable Real
Estate 10 the. Great Northwest, Of which /
ind ny fsllow-beings are proprietors, and
cannot continue without proving the entire
destruction Of some of our largest cities.
just before this war broke out,o says the
thoughtful chaps impressiyely, "I gave q
three-years' note Of seven handrsd and six
teen dollars and fifteen cents for tie City
of Rome, sisuRsed on the future linsof the
Atlantic and Pacific Canal, and divided into
four hundred water-lots Of FIVE fathoms
each. As soon as the Atlantic and Pacific
Canal was bnilt, the water would have been
drawn OF by means of eighteen large by
drsuIic pumps supported BY Eastern capital,
leaving the lots all ready for building pur-
poses. The main street would then have
been graded, and paved with the new pat
ens Connecticut sub-drainage pavement,
and would have. extended two miles in a
perfectly straight line, With horse-raa-
road through the centre. The various in
terseesing streets should have named mn
mericaily, commencing With First 'ssfset,'
which faces on the Atlantic and. Pacific Ca
nal, and SO going on to One Hundred and
SeVensy-sixth street.. and so on. These
streets would have been occupied exclusive
ly By broWn-stons-fr front residences, with q
Aag ssaf bearing our national banner on
the roof of each one, and rented to small
private families without children, The full
lots on the main street would have been
used for the City Hall, the Lunasic Asylum,
the Custom House, the Home for Deranged
Persons, the Merchants Exchange, the
Corn Exchange, the Refuge for the Insane,
the Grain Elevator, the Institution for
Fr,endIess Maniacs, the Principal Pork
Packing Establishment, the Hall Of Rec
ords, the Office Of the Superintendent of
Csatrsl Parks, the Madman's Snug Harbor,
and the Municipal Bar-Room. The sixty
eight principal banks would have discount
ed bills of exchange at sight, for the benefit
of the numerous foreign vessels constantly
arriving at the. principal pier by way of the
Atlantic aud Pacific Canal, and the Fire
Department won.d have been limited to
twenty-three hundred hose carriages and
engines, With an educated Chief Engineer !"
Here the thoughtful Democratic chap
guasb I'd bis teeth. and says he" But the
City of Rome has been entirely retarded By
THE here Black Republican New England
war upon the sunny South, with which the
Great Northwest has no earthly quarrel
whatsoever" .'*. .@ 49,
was poudering reply to this very rea-
sonable speech, my boy, when word was
suddenly brought that one of the Mackerel
pickets had jast assassinated a ye Bg Con
federacy, who had only fred twice upon his
inhuman murderer. No sooner did the
thoughtful Proprietor Of the City Of Rome
hear this sicksntng news than be as once
formed the other Democratic chaps into 3
coronsr's jury, and hastily proceeded 50
hold g high.mor inquest upon ths body
Of the lamented deceased. g.
There being no witnesses 10 examine, and
nothing il shs poke. hook found upon the
body, the Proprietor Of Rome removed tive
tears with his red silk; handkerchief, and
briefly summed up the case. Knssling
desolassly beside the cold rsaains,, and
taking one Of the ifeless hands within bis
own, he shifted fselingly, and says he: =
"The young man which is here before us
Is aAother Of shsm noble souls that have
fallen gerry sacrifices to- the MulOck Of
War" go. i ,.1....:.-~@.....-. f@'
