Read! Read!_ - - -_Bennett’s_ daily urgence of the immediate creation of a Tax Payer’s -Party is one of his old tricks, and is the detected burglar’s hoarse cry -of stop thief. Bennett got me to introduce Alfred Carson as a Candidate -for Mayor, just after his exciting Fire Report of 1850. I wrote several -articles in favor of Carson for the Mayoralty, and Bennett published -them, when lo! one rainy morning, I awoke, and opened the _Herald_, and -the hypocritical old villain had another Candidate. I asked him if he -intended to drop my old friend Carson, and he said no, but he thought he -would try to bring another candidate into the field, just for a little -fun, and that I could write about three editorials a week for Carson, -and flatter him as much as I chose, and he would publish them. This was -on Monday. On Wednesday, I caught him closeted with a formidable -candidate for the Mayoralty, and on Saturday, he very cautiously -introduced a third Candidate for the Mayor’s honors. As these were all -wealthy men, and as Carson was very poor, and perceiving that Bennett -unquestionably intended to sell Carson, and perhaps had already done so, -I went to him in a towering rage, and charged him with treachery to -myself and Carson. He smiled like Richard and Iago, and assured me that -he should support Carson down to the last hour of the election. But I -could not believe him; so I went to Carson, on Sunday morning, and wrote -his famous declination of the Mayoralty, which rocked the parties of -that day to their foundations with infinite delight, as every traffic -politician had trembled to his toes, since the introduction of Carson’s -potent and honest name for the Mayoralty. When I carried Carson’s Card -to the _Herald_ office, on Sunday evening, Mr. Bennett was absent, -having gone to the country with Judge Russell and his lady. But Frederic -Hudson was there—(his Aminadab Sleek Secretary,) who expostulated, and -strove by every artifice in his prolific resources, to induce me not to -publish Carson’s Card until I had seen Mr. Bennett. But I demanded him -to let the Card appear on the following morning, and told him that -himself and Bennett should be ashamed of themselves for striving to sell -Carson through me, and that I believed Bennett had already received -thousands of dollars for his contemplated sell of Carson, in favor of -one of the wealthy candidates. My withdrawal of Carson led to the -election of Ambrose C. Kingsland, a very illiterate man, and one of the -meanest of the human species, and the oiliest and biggest conspirator -and public thief since the days of the Roman Cataline. In 1853, Bennett -asked me to introduce the name of Alderman A. A. Denman, of the -Sixteenth Ward, as a candidate for Mayor, to whom I was imparting the -rudiments of the English language, at his house in Nineteenth street. -Denman was Chairman of the Committee that reported favorably at my -request, on awarding the Corporation Printing to the _Herald_ at $3,000 -per annum, and the other journals at $1,000. Bennett seemed grateful to -Denman for his favorable Printing Report, and I really thought he was -sincere in his contemplated advocation of Denman for the Mayoralty; and -I saw Denman, and he permitted me to use his name in connection with the -Mayoralty, and I began to write articles, and published them in the -_Herald_, strongly recommending Denman to the Mayoralty. At this time, -Denman was one of the most popular men in the democratic party, and his -annunciation for Mayor, confused the leaders and aspirants of all -parties. Presto! Bennett announces another candidate, in a sort of a -half-and-half black mail way, and I instantly withdrew Denman, who was -sadly disappointed at the loss of the Mayoralty honors, and joined the -most bloated thieves of all parties, in the odious Common Counsel of -1852 and 1853, and he was soon forever lost as an honorable public man. -And now this Scotch reprobate comes forward, without a blush on his -vicious cheeks, and prates of a Tax Payer’s Party, in order to effect -some hellish thievish purpose. Perhaps his object is to nominate Judge -Russell, or Fire Marshal Baker, or Galbraith, or some of his roguish -go-betweens and thimble-riggers for Mayor, so that he can occupy the -pleasant relations of Peter Cooper to Mayor Tiemann, his amiable -son-in-law. But how the intelligent tax payers of the Metropolis can be -so easily and so often bamboozled by this superficial Scotch Juggler, is -a mystery to me, when they all know that he has always favored vice, and -stabbed virtue. And if there ever was a candidate for office, during -Bennett’s long editorial career, whom he did not sell, or if there ever -was a truly virtuous aspirant for public honors, whose election Bennett -ever sincerely advocated before the people, without a cash -consideration, I should like to see the most extraordinary anomaly. -Bennett very ingeniously plasters his victims with disgusting panegyric, -for a brief period, when he lets loose the dogs of Tartarus, and while -they devour them, he fills his coffers with gold from every candidate in -the field, to whom he has pledged his support. But he is very old, and -the devil will soon have him, and millions will rejoice when old Nick -drags him to his fervent realms, and begins his merited tortures. And it -will require wasteless years to burn the sins from his infamous and -loathsome and nauseous carcase. The creation of James Gordon Bennett’s -Tax Payer’s Party, after his cash advocation of all the abandoned scamps -of America to office for thirty years, is the most amusing proposition -of the age. And yet the omnipotent ballot stuffers may come to his -rescue, and adopt his plans. And why should they not? Is not Barnum -again abroad, and about to shake the world with another humbug. Barnum -has grown prodigiously affluent since the Hard times began, and since -money became scarce, and since people began to starve, and since the -elements of Pluto leveled his Oriental Palace to the ground, (which was -highly insured!) and above all, since he took as partner, that cunning -old rat, James W. Gerard, who, like Dick Connolly and Simeon Draper, is -ever found in all political camps. Gerard was the real originator of the -Joice Heath imposture, and all of Barnum’s humbugs, and has borne him -through all his financial clock troubles, for which he has got enough -from Barnum to enable him to sustain his chariots and postilions and -magnificent establishment in Gramercy Park until he dies. It was Gerard -who introduced Kingsland for Mayor, and other successful candidates, -and, in the dark, advocated Fernando Wood’s course down to his -disastrous exodus from public life. And it was Gerard who sustained -Matsell through all his infamous career, down to the famous meeting in -the Tabernacle, and in the Legislative lobby, even going into the seats -of members, and coaxing them in various ways to spare Matsell. And it -was Gerard who, after Wood had fallen, went into the camp of Tiemann, -where he is now, in order to cut the throats of Tiemann and the Coopers -the first opportunity, and is at this moment, in collusion with Bennett -in the formation of a Tax Payer’s Party. “All things to all men” is the -motto of Gerard, and he has played his card adroitly for nearly half a -century. But he has now probably got his last set of false teeth, and -his last wig, and will probably soon die of old age like his old friend -Bennett, who have operated together in ambuscade, for thirty unbroken -years, in all the political villainy that has been concocted during this -long and eventful period. No matter who succeeds in the elections, -Gerard and Bennett are in the triumphant camps, as now: Bennett in -Buchanan’s White House, and Gerard in Mayor Tiemann’s confidence, and -both playing into each others hands, like Draper and Connolly. -Picolomini is the last card that these jugglers will play. Gerard is a -snob and a dandy, and an Opera exquisite, and it was he, (through -Barnum,) who introduced Jenny Lind to the Americans, and got Bennett, -for a large sum, to abuse Barnum and Jenny Lind, as an advertisement. -Bennett did not get less than $20,000 from _Gerard_ and Barnum for his -daily abuse of Jenny Lind and Barnum. I was daily in the _Herald_ office -in those days, and I often saw Barnum closeted with Frederic Hudson, and -James Gordon Bennett. And Gerard and Barnum have already arranged with -Bennett, and paid him the cash down, to abuse Picolomini, while the -_Times_ and _Tribune_ and many other journals are to be paid to praise -her. And such a yell as we shall have on her arrival, will frighten the -rats and cats. For, in this funny world, blarney is regarded as sincere -praise and evidence of merit, while detraction is persecution, which -verdant people won’t tolerate, and especially when hurled at such -fascinating creatures as Fanny Elssler, or Jenny Lind, or Picolomini. -This is certainly a very curious world, and, like Dr. Franklin, I am -curious to know if our spiritual existence is to be as curious as our -material; and I am extremely anxious to learn if Bennett, Barnum, and -Gerard are to have an eternal abode in Heaven? - - - - - Stephen H. Branch’s Alligator. - - ------------------------------------------------------ - - NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1858. - - ------------------------------------------------------ - -STEPHEN H. BRANCH’S “ALLIGATOR” CAN BE obtained at all hours, (day or -night,) at wholesale and retail, at No. 128 Nassau Street, Near Beekman -Street, and opposite Ross & Tousey’s News Depot, New York. - - ------------------------------------ - - - - - The Fourth of July—General Washington in Tears—The Decline of American - Integrity and Patriotism. - - -There was a formidable mutiny in the Army of the Revolution, arising -from the inability of the Government to pay the officers and soldiers, -who assure Washington that, in order to provide food and raiment for -their wives and children, they should return to their homes, and -cultivate their neglected fields, and pursue their various peaceful -avocations, if their salaries were not paid on a stated day. Washington -invites the prominent leaders to meet him, and they accept his cordial -invitation. The Hall is filled at an early hour with the bravest -officers of the American camp, whom the village bell summons to hear an -Address from their great Commander, and as its doleful reverberations -expire on the evening air, Washington enters with unwonted dignity and -gloom, and ascends the rostrum, and seats himself, and unfolds his -Address to his noble and impoverished comrades. He sits, with one hand -on his heart, and the other over his temples and unearthly eyes, and is -apparently absorbed in grief and prayer. The silence of the tomb -pervades the martial audience, and all seem to regard the hour as the -most momentous in human history, as the return of the officers and -soldiers to their homes, at this solemn crisis of the Revolution, might -prove to be the funeral of liberty, and of patriots throughout the -World. Washington approaches the desk, and stands like a statue, when -neither whisper nor respiration can be heard, throughout the mournful -throng. With haggard cheeks, and without repose for three successive -nights, he wipes the copious tears from his blood-shot eyes, and -moistens his parched mouth with water, and strives hard to articulate, -but his big heart is so full, and his lips quiver so rapidly, and his -tears fall so fast, that his speech is paralysed, and his vision -blinded. The officers regret their rashness, and breathe heavy sighs, -and recline their heads in silent grief, and some weep aloud, which -kindles their feelings into a general lamentation, and the patriotic -ladies thrill the entire assemblage with their piercing ejaculations. -Washington strives to summon his wonderful self-possession, (which never -deserted him till now,) and he rallies his resources like the dead of -the resurrection, when he breathes these figurative truths, in the voice -of a celestial being: “My beloved Companions: You know that I have grown -gray in your service, and now you perceive that I am growing blind.” And -while he utters these touching words, his iron nerve again succumbs, and -he moistens his manuscript with the waters of his supernatural heart. He -seats himself, and buries his face, and weeps as in his spotless -childhood. The valiant officers, (who had never faltered amid the -carnage and thunders of battle,) are utterly overwhelmed by Washington’s -tears, and they depart for their respective quarters, and relate what -has transpired, which infuses new fortitude and patriotism and -unconquerable valor in the breasts of the desponding and mutinous -soldiers, who rush to arms with the wild and irresistible impetuosity of -Greene and Putnam, and the liberties of America are soon achieved. What -a withering rebuke is this to the public thieves and traitors of the -present generation. The only hope of our country is in the early -appearance of a race of men like Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, -Madison, Adams, Hamilton, Jackson, Calhoun, Clay, and Webster. With such -corrupt and brainless wretches at the head of the American Press as -Bennett, Greeley, and Raymond, with their gangs of mercenary scribblers -in collusion with official robbers in the Municipal, State, and National -Capitols, may the Good Being who heard the prayers of Washington (amid -the snow, and blood, and hunger, and nakedness of the Revolution) have -mercy on the great body of our people, who are threatened with general -pillage and despotism by the vampires whom editors—in collusion with -bands of thieves and assassins—fraudulently elect to the highest posts -of emolument and honor. The official robbers of a nation’s treasury are -the uncompromising foes of the toiling millions, and of human freedom. O -then let the virtuous and industrious classes rally, and drive back the -pernicious burglars of their firesides. And on the coming National -Sabbath, let the pure and patriotic youth and meritorious age go up to -the Altars of our Fathers and our common God, and swear a ceaseless -crusade against the plunderers of our country, and the dastard monsters -who would distract, and divide, and alienate the affections of our -countrymen, on whose fidelity to Washington and the Union impend the -hopes and happiness and liberty of the human race for eternal years. - - ------------------------------------ - - -_Let the Supervisors_ watch the operations of Richard B. Connolly, who -has prowled around the Aldermen and Councilmen and Supervisors for -several years, from whom he has had not a farthing less than $1,000,000 -since he has been County Clerk. The Supervisors alone voted him $316,000 -for the printing of his musty and worthless Records, which no paper -manufacturer would have purchased, nor even carted to their factories as -a donation. And they are of less value to the public in their printed -form, than to the paper makers. It is a study, and a sad one for the tax -payers, to see Dick Connolly and George H. Purser sitting in the Boards -of Aldermen and Councilmen and Supervisors at almost every session, for -many years past, watching and nudging and coaxing the members to vote -for their plundering enactments. These two scamps have never been -naturalised, and have perjured themselves, since they cast their first -ballots. But they don’t perjure themselves any more in that way, as they -don’t dare vote, and have not voted since I exposed their alienage, -three years since. They have packed more Grand and Petit Juries, and -condemned and imprisoned and hung more innocent men, and robbed the City -and Albany Treasuries to a greater extent than any other two public -thieves and precocious monsters who walk the streets of New York. And -both of these precious rascals now announce themselves as candidates for -Comptroller! And they intend to buy their nomination and election with -the very money they have stolen and are stealing daily from the people. -O that there was a Brutus or Cincinnatus to rebuke these villains, and -to stab them down, and to thus shame and scourge the people for -permitting such villains to go unpunished. - - ------------------------------------ - - -_I will soon show_ some of the mysterious currents of the Metropolis, -and establish the friendly relations of Horace Greeley and Dana with -Dick Connolly and Simeon Draper, in reference to the Alms House Spoils, -and other extensive pickings and stealings. It is amusing to me to often -see _Greeley’s Tribune_ whitewash the rakish and thievish Ten Governors. -I will also show how Connolly and Draper hold their influence with the -_Courier and Enquirer_, _Evening Post_, and _Commercial Advertiser_. And -how Dick and Sim silence the mercenary growls of the _Herald_. Fred -Hudson and Galbraith and Bennett and Fire Marshal Baker could disclose -these little matters, but as they could not do it without implicating -themselves in stupendous villainy, I shall have to show how the black -mail growls of the _Herald_ are quickly silenced. The Institution of -Death is a clincher to these devils. O, if such scoundrels as Connolly -and Draper and Hudson and Bennett could only live always, they would -have a nice time, but when they see a funeral, or have a deadly gripe in -the direction of their wicked livers, they shudder with horror, and pray -harder and louder than a stout noisy Methodist darkey minister, until -the gripe has passed away, and they have a fresh hold on dear life -again, when their nerve returns, and they steal more, and oppress the -tax payers and poor consumers with less remorse than before they had -almost a fatal gripe. But the worms and the devil will soon grab their -thievish flesh and bones, and then, O Moses! what a precious feast they -will have. - - O the grave! the grave! - Mourns for the poor slave; - But for public thieves, - The grave never grieves. - - ------------------------------------ - - -The Lives of PETER COOPER and JAMES GORDON BENNETT are omitted this -week. My Journal is so small, and my advertisements increase so rapidly, -that I shall not be able to continue the lives of these distinguished -men in every issue. But in my next number, the Lives of Cooper and -Bennett will appear. These men have silenced those who have threatened -to publish their wicked antecedents, but they will never silence me, -only through imprisonment, or poison, or assassination, which I have -reason to believe they contemplate. All the wholesale dealers stopped -selling the ALLIGATOR three weeks since, lest Bennett would not let them -have the _Heralds_ for their country agents. I strove to fasten the fact -upon him, that he directed the wholesale dealers to stop selling the -ALLIGATOR, and if I had nailed upon his forehead his Napoleonic edicts -to suppress the liberty and circulation of the American Press, I would -have deliberately gone into his office, and shot him dead. No foreign -unnaturalised scab like Bennett, shall trample with impunity the -precious rights, and the glorious liberty that George Washington and my -Grandfather bequeathed to me. So, Mr. Bennett, and Fred. Hudson, just -have a care, and I implore you in your persecution, to keep your keen -eyes strongly riveted on the last feather that broke the poor camel’s -back. - - ------------------------------------ - - -_It is very strange_ what has become of the stereotype plates containing -James Gordon Bennett’s curious relations with Fanny Elssler, during her -famous sojourn in America. Can you inform me, Ross & Tousey, where they -are? If you will tell me, I will not tell Bennett that you told me, -which will not give him a pretext to stop your supply of _Heralds_ -again, by which you told me you lost several thousand dollars. Besides, -if he does, you can get rich fast enough by selling the _Ledger_ and -ALLIGATOR. So tell us where these mysterious plates can be found. -Perhaps they are on storage in Philadelphia. “Who knows?” as the amiable -Dr. Wallace very often says at the close of his abrupt and hurried -_Herald_ editorials, when he is thirsty or hungry, or wants to go to the -Theatre or Opera. - - ------------------------------------ - - -_Mr. Erben_, the Trinity Church Organ Grinder, will please inform me if -he owns a house in Baxter street, and if the character of the inmates -are as respectable as himself, and especially the females. James Gordon -Bennett will also please go into Baxter street, and ascertain and inform -me if Mr. Erben’s house is as reputable as Helen Jewett’s old residence, -at No. 41 Thomas street. Speak out, Satans Numbers One and Two. - - ------------------------------------ - - -I had to omit the continuation of my LIFE this week, which will appear -in the next number of the “ALLIGATOR.” - - ------------------------------------ - - - - - Mayor Daniel F. Tiemann’s Forced Seduction of a Lady on Randall’s -Island—Simeon Draper’s Lascivious Propensities—Most Damning Revelations. - - -Some years since, there was a lovely domestic circle in our city, -consisting of a husband, wife, and three children. The father died, and -the widow was cast upon the world, without means to feed and clothe and -educate her precious offspring. She had been the favorite daughter of -affluent parents, and was educated by the ablest teachers. In -conversation, she was eloquent and impassioned, and her fluent and -melodious words, as they flowed from her red and pouting lips, and her -even and pearly teeth, fascinated all who had the envied fortune to -linger on her luxuriant language, and pretty smiles, and dimples, and -most extraordinary purity of expression. Governor Simeon Draper fastens -his voluptuous eyes upon her, and her fate is sealed. Three years since, -Gov. Draper proposes that she become a matron on Randall’s Island, and -she accepts his proposition, and he procures her a situation. After she -began to discharge her matron duties, Governors Draper and Bell (now -Supervisor), entered her domestic apartment on Randall’s Island, and -asked her what she had in the next room, pointing their fingers to her -bed room. She said they might look for themselves. They replied: “What -are you afraid of?” She said: “I am not afraid, but I do not desire to -go into a bedroom with two gentlemen.” They then seized her, and strove -to drag her into her bed room, when she resisted and finally screamed, -which alarmed them, and they withdrew their hands, and said: “You need -not be afraid to go with us into the bed room, singly, as we know that -you have let a _friend_ go with you into your bed room ever since your -husband died, and enjoy your fascinations to his heart’s content.” She -said: “If my _friend_ has done the thing of which you speak, neither of -you shall.” Governors Draper and Bell then retired, but Draper soon -returned, and proposed to buy two cloaks for two handsome girls who were -about to leave the Institution, and said that she should go to the city -and buy them, and at the same time purchase one for herself, regardless -of price, and send the bill to his office, and he would pay it. She -objected on the ground that if she accepted the proposition, he would -expect licentious favors in return. Draper said that he was so anxious -to stay with her, that he wouldn’t mind giving her $50 in cash. She said -that she feared her _friend_ would hear of it, and withdraw his -affections, and might kill him, and perhaps her, as he truly loved her, -and was of a very jealous and impulsive nature. Draper said she needn’t -be afraid, as he could never hear of it. She then accepted his -proposition to go to the city and purchase the cloaks, and directed the -bill to be sent to his office, which was done, and he paid it. At this -time, a fervent friendship was budding into bloom and blossom, between -herself and Governor Daniel F. Tiemann, to whom she immediately -disclosed all that had transpired between herself and Governors Bell and -Draper. Tiemann affected great exasperation, and wrote her statement, -(which terribly excoriated Draper,) with the design of presenting it to -the Ten Governors in open session. This alarmed her, and she told her -_friend_ what had occurred, and that Governor Tiemann was about to -expose Governors Bell and Draper to the Board of Ten Governors, and to -the whole world, to which he strongly objected, as it might involve them -in a common ruin, and he urged her to request Governor Tiemann not to -present the document. And he assured her, if she permitted Governor -Tiemann to do this favor for her, that he might soon want her smiles and -beauty and caresses and embraces, (like Bell and Draper), as a requital -for his apparently disinterested and meritorious services in her behalf. -She saw Tiemann, and the document was suppressed. Draper heard of her -movements, and became jealous of her partiality for Tiemann, and he had -her suspended. But Tiemann had her reinstated. When Bell and Draper’s -time expired as Alms House Governors, Gov. Tiemann immediately resolved -that her _friend_ should not visit the Island, as the first movement to -his contemplated seduction of the beautiful matron. And he was so -determined, that he resorted to the daring effort to exclude him, even -after he obtained a permit. For Gov. Tiemann clearly saw that while her -_friend_ visited her, he (Tiemann) would have a poor chance to gratify -his own lust. Tiemann finally succeeded in ejecting her _friend_ from -the Island, and on a dark and rainy afternoon, slyly meandered into her -apartment, and after some loving smiles, and dulcet words, and melting -sighs, and tender glances, he drew his chair towards her, and began to -feel of her. She long resisted his extraordinary amorous movements, and -struck him twice, and scratched and bit him, and terribly exhausted him -and herself in their mutual struggles, and thought she had conquered -him. But in his last desperate rally, he overpowered and vanquished her, -and she had to let him go his whole length, and he accomplished his most -hellish purpose. Her boy was living in the West, and wrote to her, that -he was not only displeased with his relatives, but with the western -country, and desired to return to New York. She showed the letter to -Gov. Tiemann, and told him that she had not the money to spare to defray -his expenses home. He asked her how much it would cost. She said $15, -when he gave her $40, assuring her that he would not have it known for -the world, that he let her have money to pay her son’s expenses home. -She quieted his fears, by assuring him that she would never disclose it. -She sent the money to her boy, and he came home. Gov. Tiemann then got -him a situation, but the boy had seen Tiemann take improper liberties -with his mother, and as he strongly suspected he had allured her from -the paths of virtue, he very indignantly refused to accept the situation -tendered by Gov. Tiemann. But in eight months afterwards, Gov. Tiemann -obtained another place for the boy, and after unceasing importunity, he -finally persuaded the boy to accept a situation in Broadway, where he -now is. Last Autumn she had an interview with her _friend_ in this city, -when he charged her with sexual intercourse with Governor Tiemann. She -burst into a tremendous flood of tears, and cast herself into his arms, -and craved his forgiveness in rending accents. He asked her why she had -long permitted Governor Tiemann to use her beautiful person. She said -that as he was poor, and Governor Tiemann rich, and had foiled Draper in -her suspension, and had elegantly furnished her apartments on the -Island, and had paid the expenses of her boy from the West to the city, -and had got him a good situation in Broadway, and had made her -magnificent donations in jewelry and apparel, and had let her have money -when she asked him,—and fearing that if she refused to gratify his lust, -he would instantly have her dismissed as Matron, to endure again the -tortures of penury,—that in view of all this, she had let him have -sexual intercourse with her whenever he desired. But that she despised -him for his wickedness, as he was a Church Member, in good standing, and -as he professed to be one of the leading Reformers of the age. Her -_friend_ asked her how much money he had given her, and she said: “Quite -a large sum, some of which I have deposited in a Bank,” and she told him -the name of the Bank. She also told him where the chairs, sofas, -mirrors, stoves, &c., were purchased, and showed him the receipted -bills, which she placed in his hands, and he has them now. She then -besought his pardon, and assured him that she would leave the Island, -and come and live and die in his affectionate embraces. He forgave her, -and she returned to the Island, and told Governor Tiemann that she -desired to leave and return to her _friend’s_ humble abode, which -alarmed Tiemann, who implored her in tears to remain, and he would -protect her as long as he lived, and when on the eve of death, he would -make ample provision for her support during her life. They were together -in her apartment, for ten successive hours, in a most exciting and -harrowing scene, when he promised to give her $500 on the following day, -and she finally yielded, and remained, and is at the Island now, both as -a Matron and as Mayor Tiemann’s Mistress. Her _friend_ was so -exasperated with her double treachery, that he went to one of the Ten -Governors, (who is now in the Board,) and disclosed in writing under his -signature the entire villainy of Tiemann. The Governor in question sent -for Tiemann, and asked him if the statement was true, when he colored -into a ball of fire, and left in shame and silence.
