Travellers from all parts Of the world are
enthusiastic in admiration when they see Inc
harbor of New-YOrk. The voyage up the Day
delights all corners who look upon the New
World for the first time with marvellous va
riety Of beautiful scenery. In passing through
the Lower Bay, in traverslnS the NarroWs, Ill
observing the diversified comeliness OF Staten
Island and Long Island, in noticing the situation
of Manhattan Island. with the North River on
the one side and the East River on the other,
in gazing upon the superb crags OF the Palisades
in taking note of the picturesque islands in the
Sound In watching the wonderful series OF pct
ures which the Empire State sets before all who
come to study what is finest and nOblest in
Nature, the traveller who enters the magnificent
gateway of America derives impressions which
he is never likely to forget. 1t is an old story,
the recital Of the amazing advantages when
this metropolis possesses in comparison with the
other great cities Of the world. With such
coast with such a bay. with such river
as the Hudson, with the fascinating array
Of impressive objects which may be looked
upon in and about New-York, the me-
tropolis of the United States need not fear
comparison with any other city that the world
has ever known, so far as natural conditions are
have been for many years patient, longsuner-
Ing, amiable and much-enduring. They nave al
lowed INSCRIPTIONS politicians and gangs OF au-
dacous rascals to fasten upon the city, to hinder
It's development, to stand in the way Of It's prog
ress, to plumber its people to injure, deface ana
damage it in every conceivable way.
There Is no other island on the globe which Is
the seat Of so imperial city as that on Manhattan
hat; 70 tee ;,,far had
been properly guarded, and the community had
been governed with wisdom and discretion New
York would be far greater, far richer, far more
prosperous, than 1t Is to-day. Its harbor is al
most unequallcd in any part Of the world. For
situation this community SURPRISES almost any
other of the first rank. II 1t had been governed
wisely and well from the time when the Dutch
had possession II would have set before the
ncoDle who were drawn TO 1t from all nations a
more notable and brilliant apparel Of attractions
than any other city can boast. Taking all things
into account, NewYork ought TO have public
bindings that would exhibit the lofest achieve
ments Of the ablest architects. 1t ought to have
the finest Of avenues and streets II should pos
sess within its borders splendid diversity OF
perfectly kept parks. Its docks should be the
envy of all other seaports. in every element Of
prosperity and success New-York ought to fear
no rival.
The conspirators who succeeded for so many
years In lootng The public treasury and In de-
Driving the citizens Of countless DEMENT'S which
they ought TO have enjoyed, did great deal
TO cover the city with shame and disgrace and
to defraud Its people Of many important ele-
ments OF success and satisfaction. The over
| throw Of the robbers who had amassed great
fortunes at the expense Of the community has
put this city in better position In the eyes OF
| the peoples Of the earth than that which 1t had
