men. Their ilgoten gains. which they haunt IN the
taoes OF the people seemingly asking WHAT are you

navers OF the City Of New-York And now, to SATISFY
their RAPIDLY increasing numbers fresh fields ana
pastures new are required and they are striving 10
,coure the same unrestained control Of the aars OF
The state and Nation, that they may plumber the

Should those men succeed in their aims, they VIII
have pursued the same course which led to the de
sruction of ancient republics. Centuries have not
changed human nature, and why should we not expect
like results from the same cause?
There is not an honest person who Will not say

power! We must defeat the Tammsny ticket by
voting for men whose politics opposed TO ours, re

progress guided by the principles laid down by Jeer
