Nearly all the b’hoys—those mteresting characters whose per- sonal appearance and habits of thought and aspira- tions have been 80 exhaustively done to death in every New York mowspaper since the breaking out of our present municipal revolution—had followed the Boss on his anxious jourhey to the grand counell of the unterrified; andihere were scarcely enough left to keep onc in mina of what manner of men our Political masters are.
