New York (N.Y.) -- Politics and government
Now that Captains Leonard and Dowling are reinstated, and as new
brooms sweep mighty clean, and as they will probably make more arrests
and rip up more rascality than their associates during the next two
months, I will direct their attention to the tax books, to ascertain
the amount of taxes paid by De Forest and Tisdale before they
established the Hunter Woodis Society. Also, what their associates
paid. Accredited rumor says that all the members of the Hunter Woodis
Society were drones and paupers before they began to collect indigent
funds for the Hunter Woodis Society, and before they cunningly devised
(in connection with Cooper, Tiemann, Gerard, and others) the Calico
Balls at the Academy of Music and Crystal Palace. They now have their
carriages, (gold and silver mounted,) and fast horses, and elegant
mansions, and have even had the silly boldness to open an Ice Cream
and Lager Bier Saloon, on a scale of dazzling splendor and
unprecedented area, that would fascinate the Frenchman, and bewilder
the German, and will astonish the American. So, just examine the tax
books, Leonard and Dowling, and give me the startling statistics, and
I will publish them. And I’ll bet largely in advance, that they were
paupers until they stole and appropriated the fascinating and noble
name of Woodis, to consummate their unhallowed schemes, to rob the
Poor of the Metropolis. “That’s all,” as Dr. Wallace too often says at
the close of his Junius editorials in the _Herald_:
O Doctor, Doctor, Doctor!
You are a funny Proctor!
O De Forest and Tisdale,
You’ll soon have worms, and grow pale.
Leonard and Dowling: To your task,
And in my rays, you yet may bask.
