The differences between the Blaine men and the Cleveland men to-day don&#8217;t begin to compare with the differences that existed before the war between the politicians and between the people of the then rival localities of Brooklyn and Williamsburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This may sound strange to those people who are ignorant of the fact that Williamsburg ever existed independently of Brooklyn, but the fact is that the average Brooklynite and the average Williamsburger used to regard \u2018emselves as rivals if not positive enemies. Neighbors they were, it is true, but neighbors who were always contendin\u2019 against each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Brooklyn people called the Williamsburger&#8217;s \u201cDutch heads,\u201d in illusion to their foreign nationality, while the Williamsburgers called the Brooklynites \u201cBrooklyn Yanks.\u201d These terms were considered almost as bad as \u201cthief\u201d or \u201ccoward\u201d and were always resented, if heard by the one so termed. The dividin\u2019 line between these two sets was aptly called \u201cDivision avenue,\u201d a name it retains to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Along this Division Avenue for years there was no livin\u2019 in peace at all. So far was the feelin\u2019 carried that, although there was a good deal of what the French call <em>esprit de corps<\/em> in the old volunteer fire department, the fire laddies once let quite a fine house burn to the ground without receiving any of their attention or exertions, simply because it stood on Division avenue. The Brooklyn Fire Department didn&#8217;t do its duty on this occasion because it took for granted the Williamsburg boys would be on hand, and the Williamsburg boys didn&#8217;t do anything because they took it for granted that the Brooklyn boys would be there on foot. So that actually right in the midst of the two fire departments a house burned up and down, illustratin\u2019 forcibly the old adage that between two stools one falls to the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Division avenue thus became, in a small way, what Canada is to-day\u2013a harborin\u2019 place for thieves, etc., and, to carry out the analogy, the constabulary force of Brooklyn and Williamsburg hated each other as cordially and watched each other as narrowly as the Montreal and Quebec detectives of the present year of grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The hostile local feelin\u2019 was even shared by the local magistrates of the two places. The English-speakin\u2019 justices of Brooklyn sneered at the Dutch speakin\u2019 justices of Williamsburg, who returned the sneers with interest, and a constant interchange, not of judicial courtesies, but petty personal and professional annoyances, passed between \u2018em.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One of the hardest flings at the \u201cDutch heads\u201d of Williamsburg was when the Brooklynites alluded to their \u201cbeer\u201d gardens as \u201cbear\u201d gardens. It was a bad pun, but it caused a deal of bad blood. In fact, several fights grew out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The most strikin\u2019 (literally the most strikin\u2019) illustration and result of this local feelin\u2019 was afforded by a row which occurred five years before the breakin\u2019 out of the great civil war, which by its very magnitude put an end to all merely local strife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There was at that time a local politician named Sam Colter, who was a resident of Brooklyn, and who was interested in some local legislation, adverse to Williamsburg, at Albany. He won his point at Albany and so determined to have a sort of high time in his own neighborhood, and celebrate what he was pleased to call his victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He got about fifty of his adherents and they resolved to make a raid on Williamsburg and raise old Cain. Among the \u201cDutch heads\u201d a man named Slausen got wind of this contemplated \u201craid.\u201d Slausen was to Williamsburg what Colter was to Brooklyn\u2013and hearin\u2019 that his rival was goin\u2019 to raise high jinks, he resolved to spoil his fun and raise the jinks higher, so he got fifty or sixty Dutchmen all ready and made their headquarters at his place in the Eastern District meat market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When the fifty \u201cYanks\u201d under Colter marched into the burgh they found the fifty \u201cDutch heads,\u201d under Slausen, all ready for \u2018em; and when the two fifties met there was a first-class row of one hundfed or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Beer barrels were bursted, and the sacred liquid, as dear to the \u201cDutch heads\u201d almost as their own blood, was spilled into the street. The sight of this wasted material rendered the \u201cDutch heads\u201d wild, and they not only swore the old, long-winded Knickerbocker oaths, but they resorted to more solid weapons in the way of sticks and stones. The \u201cDutch heads\u201d were solid and did a good deal of execution with their weapons, but the \u201cYanks\u201d were more active, because less fleshy than their opponents and rather had the best of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For a while the fight was about even. Then the more agile Yanks got the best of it, till finally, the tide of victory was turned in favor of the \u201cDutch heads\u201d by a rather clever trick on the part of the Dutchmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the midst of the row Sam Colter&#8217;s house was seen to be on fire, and, of course, Sam and his men, takin\u2019 it for granted that his place had been set on fire by the Williamsburgers, rushed, vowin\u2019 vengeance, to the burning house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Brooklyn Fire Department, likewise, rushed up to Colter&#8217;s house, also breathing vengeance. But when they got to the burnin\u2019 house lo! they found it was a false alarm. The house wasn&#8217;t burnin\u2019 after all. Some of the \u201cDutch heads\u201d had got some chemicals, some red fire, and had, by this aid, got up a mimic conflagration, which gave the Williamsburgers time to collect and add to their forces. And when Sam Colter and his gang returned to Williamsburg to continue their raid they found this time that the Dutch were too many for the Yanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Victory perched on the banners of the largest number, and although the Brooklyn police, who finally swooped down on the Williamsburgers took six captives to the station house in Brooklyn, the Williamsburg police took seven captives to the lock up in their borough, and among the seven was Sam Colter himself, whereas Slausen was uncaptured and unhurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This decided the day, or rather the night, in favor of the \u201cDutch heads,\u201d and although the Brooklynites did all they could to worry and detain their Williamsburg captives (just as the Williamsburg justices did all they could to annoy and detain the Brooklyn captives), the row finally ended in a confessed triumph for the \u201cDutch heads,\u201d which was celebrated in many a beer (or bear) garden for many a night, and which kept the Williamsburgers in good humor till their burg was finally annexed to and swallowed up in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Political feelin\u2019 in New York and Brooklyn ran much<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brooklyn","category-neighborhoods"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
