Connolly and other Conspirators against my Liberty.</h2> -</div> - -<p class='c009'>In 1855, Richard B. Connolly said he would -give me a clerkship in the County Clerk’s -Office, if I would not expose his unnaturalized -alienage. I declined his infamous proposition. -He then got Alderman John Kelly to read a -letter to the Board of Aldermen, declaring -that he was born in Ireland, and first landed -in Philadelphia, where he got naturalized in -Independence Hall, and that he valued the frame -that contained the evidences of his naturalization, -more than any piece of furniture in his -house, and invited all to call at his residence, and -behold its graceful suspension on his parlor wall. -I called, and his wife assured me that her husband -was absent, and that his naturalization -papers were in a trunk, and that he had got -the key. Alderman John H. Briggs called, -when Connolly was at home, but he was not -permitted to see the evidences of his naturalization. -Other citizens, and many of Connolly’s -<span class='pageno' id='Page_2'>2</span>most intimate friends called and desired -to see his naturalization papers, but he -declined to show them. I then went to Philadelphia, -and got certificates from the clerks of -all the Courts, that Richard B. Connolly, of -Ireland, was never naturalized in the Philadelphia -Courts, and I returned, and published -the results of my visit to Philadelphia in the -<cite>New York Times</cite>, and other journals, and also -stated that Connolly strove to bribe me not to -expose his alienage. At the election of County -Clerk, which followed these events, Connolly -did not vote, and when taunted with his refusal -to vote by his adversaries, he excused -himself on the ground that he had bet largely -on several candidates, and dared not vote. -This was the very small aperture through -which he crawled. And this is the scamp who -is to impannel the jury by which I am soon -to be tried for the alleged libel of Tiemann -and Cooper and Connolly’s most sacred friend, -Simeon Draper, with whom he was long a -clerk, and with whom he has been connected -in schemes of plunder and political villainy for -nearly a quarter of a century. From Connolly’s -notorious character as a sly and cunning -and treacherous rascal, and Jury Packer, -and ballot stuffer, and public robber, I have -every reason to believe that he will pack the -jury that will try me. And he has four -powerful motives for packing my jury, and -sending me to Blackwell’s Island: And firstly, -to avenge my exposure of his perjured alienage, -and secondly, to prove his fidelity to -his old friend, Simeon Draper, and thirdly, to -win the favor of Tiemann and Cooper, and -secure their support of him as Comptroller, -and fourthly, to incarcerate me while he seeks -his nomination and election as Comptroller, -so that I cannot expose his perjured alienage -and nefarious crimes, during his efforts to obtain -an office, which will enable him to steal -millions from the Treasury, and thus rob the -toiling millions of their bread and raiment and -shelter from the pitiless elements, and drive -many a lovely virgin, of sick and indigent -parents, to the horrors of prostitution. In -1852, he was almost penniless, but now he is -worth a million of dollars, which he has -stolen directly from the pockets of the honest -and laborious classes, for whom he professes -exhaustless love. With the Mayor and -nearly all the Executive Departments, and -Connolly, Draper, Sickles, Hart, and the -<cite>Herald</cite>, <cite>Times</cite>, and <cite>Tribune</cite>, and other journals, -and Peter Cooper, and Ex-Mayor Kingsland, -and other millionaires against me, it -seems almost impossible to escape a sojourn -at Blackwell’s Island, but I have confidence -in God and truth and justice, and I defy all -the powers of earth to vanquish my soul. -And I most fervently thank the Great Disposer -of Events, that if I am consigned to a -felon’s cell, it will not be for robbing the -friendless multitudes, like such thieves as Tiemann, -Cooper, Draper, and Connolly, who -may not be incarcerated and tortured for their -deeds of villainy while living, although a -terrible retribution awaits them beyond the -grave. Stephen, of old, was stoned for his -virtues, and Socrates poisoned, and the Saviour -crucified, and a poor, humble, and friendless -being like me, may be imprisoned, and forced -to die in a dungeon, for exposing the public -robbers of the present generation. But I will -not murmur at the terrible ordeal through -which I am about to pass. For my fidelity -to the people, I may lose my liberty. Be it -so. And when the public thieves have consigned -me to a lonely and dreary cell, and my -frail form slowly wastes away, and I am forever -gone, my absent soul will only crave a -humble mound, and the tears of the virtuous, -to bless and fertilise the pretty flowers that -prance over my grassy hillock, in the mild -summer perfume.</p> - -<div class='fancy'> - -<div class='nf-center-c0'> -<div class='nf-center c010'> - <div>Stephen H.

Is it because he fears he will expose -the motive of his intimate relations with Daniel -E. Sickles, and give some curious reminiscences -of Fanny White’s notorious tour in -Europe, while Dan was his Private Secretary -and flying Minister to Spain? Ostensibly, it -was Buchanan’s fear of Bennett’s hostility to -his Kansas views, but in reality, it was his -dread of Bennett’s disclosure of hellish domestic -events, during Fanny White’s European -pilgrimage, that induced Buchanan to proffer -Bennett the freedom of the White House, and -that forced him to unite Bennett and Sickles -in perpetual friendship. I can show where -Bennett squints at Dan and Fan and Buck in -the <cite>Herald</cite>, which shook the White House to -its deep foundation. Two famous harlots long -kept Daniel E. Sickles and Emanuel B. Hart, -and the latter lives with a woman now, on the -principles of Turkish Free Love. Fanny -White kept Sickles until he went to board -with a dancing master, whose wife he soon -allures from the bed of her husband, and -drives him from his own house. He then -seduces their daughter, a mere child, who -became six month’s pregnant. He now fears -the law, and gets Bishop Hughes to marry -him to the lovely and youthful creature of his -seduction. He then introduces Mayor Ambrose -C. Kingsland to his wife’s mother, with -whom Kingsland has sexual intercourse. He -then asks Mayor Kingsland to give him a -certificate, that he had been married six months -before, to cover the pregnancy of his wife. -Kingsland hesitates, when Dan threatens to expose -his sexual intercourse with his wife’s -mother. Kingsland becomes alarmed and gives -Dan the marriage certificate, and all is tranquil. -When Dan became James Buchanan’s -Private Secretary, at the Court of St. James, -Fanny White visited London, and was very -intimate with Buchanan, and Dan gave her -passports all over Europe, as Mrs. James Gordon -Bennett. Bennett ascertained this, and -hence the long and bitter quarrel between Dan -and Bennett. Dan got the Hon. John Wheeler -to give Fanny White letters of introduction to -certain parties at Niagara Falls, as Mrs. James -Gordon Bennett. Fanny White now lives in -New York, and Dan is still friendly with her, -although she is kept by another. Emanuel -B. Hart was long kept by Eliza Pratt, who -got tired of him, and discarded him. He subsequently -took a notorious wanton, named -Louise Wallace, from a house of ill-fame, and -lives with her now, and introduces her into -the first circles of society. Sickles is now a -member of Congress, and the most influential -man under Buchanan in the White House, and -Hart was appointed by Buchanan, Surveyor -of the Port of New York, which is considered -next in importance to the office of Collector. -And yet there are no earthquakes. And the -people tamely submit to this monstrous degradation. -And these revelations may lead to a -scuffle of death between Sickles, Hart, and myself. -But if I were sure that my brains were -to be strewn upon the pavement, I would disclose -to the American people, that their public -servants are thieves, and fornicators, and -ballot-stuffers, and black-mailers. Public men -who will keep vile women, or (what is infinitely -more degrading,) be kept and fed and clothed -by concubines, like Hart and Sickles, should -be exposed and loathed by all virtuous minds. -And Buchanan should be more despised than -Hart and Sickles, for his known intimacy with -them for years, and with Fanny White, and -for his appointment of Hart as Surveyor, and -for chopping off the heads of a hundred worthy -officials, at the instigation of such a notorious -rake, and thief, and ballot-stuffer as Daniel E. -Sickles. Buchanan fears Sickles, Hart, Bennett, -and Fanny White! God of Heaven! -How the national morals have degenerated -during the present century. At a recent dinner -at the White House sat the President, Bennett, -Russell, Hart and Sickles. The President -sat beside Mrs. Dan Sickles—Bennett sat -next to Mrs. Judge Russell—Russell sat alone—Emanuel -B. Hart sat next to his Mistress, -and Sickles next to Fanny White. What a -mournful sacrilege! Violated shades of Washington! -Jefferson! and Jackson! O Vernon! -and Monticello! and the Hermitage! may thy -hallowed verdure be forever green and fragrant. -And paralysed be the monsters who trample thy -mounds, and blight thy pretty violets. And is -there an American, or a naturalized foreigner -whose cheeks do not crimson at a bacchanal -like this, in the sacred atmosphere of great -Washington’s mausoleum? What! Shall a -gang like this be permitted to desecrate the -halls and seats once occupied by the most illustrious -patriots that ever graced the earth? -O, Father of Heaven! Do not abandon the -honest Americans, nor the patriot pilgrims to -these happy shores, who still are grateful for -Thy protection of their immortal Fathers, and -who will strive to elect men to wield their -destinies, who cherish Thee, and will legislate -for the honor and welfare and glory of their -<span class='pageno' id='Page_3'>3</span>beloved country. Do not desert them, O God! -is the fervent prayer of millions of noble -Americans, and of all naturalized foreigners, -who truly love Thee, and the free and sunny -land of their adoption.</p> - -<div class='figcenter id002'> -<img src='images/curlyline.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' /> -</div> - -<div class='chapter'> - <h2 id='limekiln' class='c005'>Does Mayor Tiemann know what became of the Lime Kiln Man? Most horrible disclosures! In God’s name, where are the People?</h2> -</div> - -<p class='c009'>William O. Webb, now Superintendent of -Potter’s Field, who was appointed by the Ten -Governors, sold and delivered last winter, five -hundred corpses to the body snatchers, and -has sold about the same number for several -winters past, for which he and others received -$17 for each corpse, forming an aggregate of -$8,500 that was received each winter. The -bodies are disinterred in the night, during the -favorable tides, and carried from Potter’s Field -to the Dead House, on the shore of Ward’s -Island,—sometimes in a sleigh, and sometimes -in a wheelbarrow,—and delivered to the body -snatchers, awaiting their arrival at the Dead -House. William O. Webb directs the grave -diggers to give no corpses to the body snatchers, -who died of small pox, or other contagious -diseases, nor badly mutilated bodies. Michael -Gilmore was an Assistant Grave Digger, and -is now a clerk of the Superintendent of Potter’s -Field. Wm. O. Webb’s salary is $800 per -annum—a house free of rent—a farm—fuel, and -provisions, from the Ten Governors—and four -paupers and a servant to manage his farm. -Sometimes he has fifteen paupers to work his -farm. Webb’s clerk receives $400 a year, and -his wife $200, and they have a large house -and extensive grounds, and a servant and fuel -and provisions from the Ten Governors. -Webb employs a boy, about sixteen years old, -who buries the dead, and who has $300 per -annum. This boy receives the dead bodies, -and selects such as the Doctors desire, immediately -on their reception at Potter’s Field. -Sometimes an arm or a leg is dissevered, and -sold to the Doctors. After the bodies are removed, -the coffins are sawed and chopped, and -packed in bags, and taken to Harlem, and used -as fire wood. The bodies are stripped of their -dead clothes, and the best part sold in the city, -as apparel, and the residue as rags, which constantly -exposes the city to contagion. The -Ten Governors are familiar with these facts, -and have some knowledge of what is done -with the money that is received for the dead -bodies. William O. Webb has long been the -warm personal and political friend of Governor -Daniel F. Tiemann, whose mutual relations -have been of such a <em>peculiar nature</em> -that, although Gov. Tiemann has often been -apprised of Webb’s monstrous proceedings, yet -he dared not advance a step towards his removal. -Webb’s expenses as Superintendent -of Potter’s Field are $5,000 per annum. A -respectable man, with the best security, -proposed to Mayor Tiemann, when he was -Governor, to assume the management of -Potter’s Field, for $1,000 per annum, without -the salaries, houses, farms, paupers, and -servants, fuel, and provisions that the Superintendent -and Clerk, and their wives then and -now receive, forming an aggregate of $5,000 -per annum, exclusive of the $8,500 received by -the Superintendent and others for dead bodies. -And yet, such were the <em>peculiar relations</em> subsisting -between Gov. Tiemann and Mr. Webb, -that the former dared not accept a proposition -so favorable to the Treasury of the City, for -whose economical disbursements Gov. Tiemann -professes such anxious regard. One of the -grave diggers refused to sell the body snatchers -any more bodies, and informed Gov. Tiemann -of his determination, who exclaimed, -with much levity: “If you interfere with their -business, there will be no inquest held over -your body.” Webb sold the corpse of his -wife’s uncle, whose name was Brown, a builder, -and when Brown’s relatives desired his body for -respectable interment, Webb placed another -corpse in the coffin, and sent it to them, which -they interred as their dear relative. The -Lime Kiln Man was borne to Potter’s Field, -and when his friends heard the sad intelligence -of his death and pauper interment, they raised -funds, which they gave to Webb, with directions -to exhume and respectably inter him. -But Webb could not find the Lime Kiln Man, -and placed another corpse in a coffin, and -buried it, and when the friends of the Lime -Kiln Man came to Potter’s Field, Mr. Webb -led them to a grave, which he assured them -was the Lime Kiln Man’s. At my trial, on -the first Monday in August, I shall summon -the Doctor, and the body snatchers connected -with him, and the superintendent, clerk, grave -diggers, and all others engaged in this awful -sacrilege, to unmask the scoundrels connected -with our public institutions.</p> - -<div class='figcenter id002'> -<img src='images/curlyline.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' /> -</div> - -<div class='chapter'> - <h2 id='bgr' class='c005'>Bennett, Greeley, and Raymond.</h2> -</div> - -<p class='c009'>New York is the seat of Commerce, affluence, -intelligence, and journalism, and the -devil has placed at the head of the Press, three -such rogues as Bennett, Greeley, and Raymond. -I have personally known these desperate -jugglers for twenty years, and if the -reader is sceptical, when I brand them as unparalleled -scoundrels, let him refer to the files -of these editors, who fiercely denounce, and -clearly prove each other to be incomparable -villains, and in parallel columns, they assume -to be the censors of the public morals, and -anathematise rogues of every grade and country, -whom they strive to allure to the -embraces of the sacred virtues. The mighty -destinies of our country are in the grasp of -heartless black mail editors, and Bennett, -Greeley, and Raymond never unite in matters -of public good, nor in the election of meritorious -citizens to public office. And when they -scream loudest for the propagation of the public -virtues, and the creation of wise public -measures, their eyes are fastened on the devil, -and his imps, and overshadowing schemes of -public plunder. Their opinions have not half -the force and purity of the humblest citizens, -and yet, like foreign despots, they thrust their -heresies into our skulls, and in connection -with officials, as infamous as themselves, -(whom they elect,) they trample our most -sacred rights, and slyly appropriate the public -treasure, and violate all laws, human and divine, -and from whose editorial edicts there is -no appeal. And thus the public evils of our -country flow from such polluted sources, as -the <cite>Herald</cite>, <cite>Times</cite>, and <cite>Tribune</cite>. If these -three editors were as pure and patriotic as -they profess to be, they would unite in the -advocation of honest men for office, and discharge -their thievish correspondents at Albany -and Washington, (who are in collusion with -official robbers, by direction of their employers,) -and invariably oppose the election of -vicious men to office. Bennett, Greeley, and -Raymond, and other editorial rogues, never -advocate the election of a man to office, without -the pledge of a share of his influence and -spoils, which is the real source of our public -evils. They black mail on a scale of startling -magnitude and boldness. They watch, with -ceaseless vigilance, for facilities to seize the -pap from the private and public purse. They -level their fleetest and most envenomed -arrows at the subordinate municipal officers, -Mayors, Governors, National Collectors, Representatives, -Senators, Cabinet officers, and -the President, himself, whom they force to -yield to their demands, or they spread terror -into the camps of these public vultures. Bennett, -Greeley, and Raymond have obtained -their prodigious power, through the large -number of fools that read their nonsense, and -black mail philippics. If these idiots would -cease to read their vile and selfish stuff, and -patronise those editors who proclaim the -truth, and strive to promote the public welfare, -such men as Bennett, Greeley, and Raymond -would soon become the paupers and -loafers and scamps of twenty years ago, when -they had no place to lay their wicked skulls, -nor credit for a loaf of bread.</p> - -<div class='figcenter id002'> -<img src='images/curlyline.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' /> -</div> - -<div class='chapter'> - <h2 id='cooper' class='c005'>The Peter Cooper Institute!</h2> -</div> - -<p class='c009'>In front of this sham Institute is painted, in -blazing letters: “These Stores, and the Story -above to Let.

Many small donations -($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt -status with the IRS. - -The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating -charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United -States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a -considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up -with these requirements.
