Plunkitt's Fondest Dream.
The time is comm' and though I'm no youngster, I may see it, when New York City will break away from the State and become a state itself.

It's got to come.

The feelin' between this city and the hayseeds that make a livin' by plunderin' it is every bit as bitter as the feelin' between the North and South before the war.

And, let me tell you, if there ain't a peaceful separation before long, we may have the horrors of civil war right here in New York State.
