should 60 worried by Godfrey and unpaid by |
Grau, cannot but intensity that grief and trans
form it into terrible indignation against his
prosecutors. For this reason we return to our
suggestion, which will enable him to crush bis
enemies with their own weapons, and depart
from us in serene triumph. Let him sue God
frey for the sundries we have indicated above,
and Godfrey will be heard from no more. Then
let him turn upon Grau and add to his present
bill charges for extra notes. grace notes, notes
Of friendly advice, words Of kindly counsel and
little suppers after the opera, and the Mynheer
Grau will soon be willing to pay his salary
promptly II Brignoi has sensible lawyer on
bis side he will take our advice, fight fire with
fire, whip Grau and Godfrey round the stump,
and give his client the victory.
Our Commercial Transactions = The
Yankce Tyranny I'm n New Phase.
Our article in last Thursdays issue, show
ing how completely the twelve Senators from
the six New England States, forming the
'sblack republican," or 'Black Bay State
Squadron" have usurped the role formerly
filled by the fourteen Senators from the seven
cotton States, known to history as the 'Black
Gulf Squadron" has attracted, and yet con-
tinues to attract very widespread and deep
attention. This only illustrates that 'truth is
mighty and will prevail" We have merely to
call public attention to some great but neg
lected fact, and the fact will assert It's own
Importance. Hundreds of thousands of men
in the Central and Western States, who never
thought Of the matter before have now their
eyes opened to the system of chicanery and
organized fraud by which the twelve New
England Senators have imposed the whins and
interests, the passions and bigotries OF their
section, in the form of laws, upon the entire
remainder of the Union. 1t only needs
voice in the theatre to cry SIRE" when the
fire is at its devastating work, and all will
perceive the burning odor; while, without
such warming, some such scene may be re-en-
acted as recently made Golgotha Of that
Hispano-American cathedral in St. Jago,
Chile.
Our twelve New England Senators, not
content with imposing very heavy portion OF
the revenue burthens of the country upon our
whiskey and tobacco, in which the New Eng
land States have but the slightest interest
and not content with creating importation
duties SO heavy as to drive the trade hereto
fore transacted legitimately in New York to
be hereafter carried on by smugglers along
the Canadian frontier, have also had the
adroitness to impose the main balance of the
weight of our taxation upon the commercial
transactions which have their chief centre in
this city. All checks, bills, bonds, gold and
stock operations, invoices and other articles
essential to commerce have to pay heavily to
the national government-these items, in
Wall street alone, amounting to more in
single week than throughout the whole balance
Of the loyal States in any average month.
The candle is to be burned at both ends, the
people of the centre and West having chiefly
to bear the costs of this war for the ascendan-
cy of Yankee ideas; while their commerce is
ruined by the imposition of prohibitory
duties in favor of New England manufac-
tures and their commercial marine is swept
from the SEAS solely owing to the imbecility
and supineness of the New England Secretary
who is mGihtained-a gross laughing stock 10
the world-at the head of our national navy.

Yankee ideas and bigotries. All the interests
of the Central and Western States are sacri-
feed to swell the profits of the Yankee manu-
featuring aristocracy. We are condemned to
bear the chief burthens Of taxation produced
by the war, while also submitting to the pro-
hibitory duties devised by Yankee greed.
Our Senate is presided over by Yankee, and
has all it's most important committees con-
trolled by members Of the ''Black Bay State
Squadron" Our navy is deplorably misman-
aged by Rip Van Wrinkle Yankee, who only
grunts and snor9s while the greatest harbors
Of our country are being blockaded by one or
two contemplate privateers. We are in war,
of extent unparalleled, for the supremacy of
yankee notion" We have had two Yankees
at work in the task of depreciating our public
credit by their mismanagement Of our Treas
ury; and, as if to cap the climax Of all our
other sufferings and ignominies, we find that
our able-bodied population is assessed at
twenty-six per cent, under the draft, while a
quota Of but twelve and half per cent is de-
manded from the more favored sons of Massa-
chusetts and the remainder Of the Yankee
empire. "How long, Lord how long shall
thy servants sufer2'
The DRAFT-How TO RAISE HUNDRED THOU
SAND FroHTryo MES.-We have not much faith
in the statement that the draft will net be en-
forced In New York because Of the excess Of
seamen enlisted here in the naval service
Some Of these men may be claimed BY other
counties, and other measures may be taken
TO deprive the city and county Of New
