The New York Times of the early 1880s, responding to some in Boston who attempted to have the Statue of Liberty installed there: 

This statue is dear to us, though we have never looked upon it, and no third-rate town is going to step in and take it from us… . Let Boston be warned [that] we have more than a million people in this City who are resolved that the great lighthouse statue shall be smashed into minute fragments before it shall be stuck up in Boston Harbor.”
