There may be those who objecJ to the title
but there can be no question about its just
hess when one candidly considers the matter
in the light of the past. 1t has been through
this same class that the present corrupt rule
has been imposed upon New York city and
extended to the State of New York 1t has
been this same class that, by repeating and
violence and fraud, has rolled up majorities o.
5000 to 100000 for the Tammany candidate.
in that city, until at length decent men have
become disguised and take little interest in
political matters
In return for this service the mob have bai
whatever indulgencies it has demanded, and
whatever Offices its leading men have desired
The courts have frequently been awed by it
and scores of its leaders have been paid for
their services by being allowed to violate the
laws with impuniry and even with denarce
freddy the Blacksmith" the hero of half
dozen homicides, is single sample of the
monsters that Tammany has fostered and
protected. The schools and religious institu
tions of their church have been made the re-
cipients of lavish donations of public money
and the school system OF the city has been in
its power. The draft riot in 1868 assumed in
its fearful proportions simply because the city
authorities felt that they were the servants of
the rioters and could not interfere without
hazarding their own power; and had these
same city authorities their own way Wednes-
day the police of the city would have been as
efficient in scattering the Orangemen as they
were In restraining the rioters. That the
rioters did not have their own way was sim
ply because Gov. Hoffman, being outside Of
the city, heard the voice of intelligent protest
and at late hour decided upon measures to
defeat prostitution of the Constitution by
the Tammany rioters.
Such assertions as that of a leading Catholic
prelate, "that it is no longer question wheth-
er or not the Catholics rule New York ctv.
but the question is how long before the Cath
olics will rule the United States" may have
had something to do with the riot of Wednes-
day, but Tammany, that has nur.ured the
vast mob, bowed to its dictates, and enthroned
it for its violence and ignorance over the CITY
and State of New York, is directly and almost
wholly answerabe for the scenes of the 10Th.

AMERIcUs VEsPUCCI.--The Albany argus
revives the recollection of this Italian lady
who visited here as the relative OF the great
discoverer of America and came near persuad

favorte of the Duke of Orleans, and was per-
suaded to come here by his mother, the Queen
of France, it was reported, who wished to
produce separation. At Washington she
received much attention, and even Mr.. Adams
favored her claims to national consideration.
In Boston, also she was greatly courted, and
at the ball gwen at Faneurl Fall to the Prince
&c Jolnvie, was attended by Mr.. Grattan,
