MomiciraL Rerorm—Sions or THe Tuaes.— | Our readers are well aware that we have been, for some time, urging, throug’: the columns of this paper, the necessity that exists of having the whole of our city government thoroughly and radically re- organized. We have, over and again, stated that the great political questions which are at present agi- tating this country, dividing the people into two great and powerful parties, should not have the re- Amsnican AonicuLtonat Assoc: ly meetii the Amecieen Ageionbuml Association wes held fast evening at the Historical Rooms of the ember at the mabe were pre- that he received in the ‘of guano, but proba- Pana.—Finet signt oF SHagsreane’s “Ricwano Il.” For some months past the most extensive and extraor(i- nary preparations have been in progress for the prodvc. tion, ina style of great splendor and with strict attention to historic truth, of Shakspeare’s renowned tragedy of “ Richard 111.” The play was brought out last evening fact that we are on the verge ofa great theatrical revival, must have become manifest | to the comprehension of the dullest visitant. The boxes | motest connection with the municipal government | were graced by the élite of the city, and truly presented | a brilliant and dazzling array of beauty, fashion, loveli- ducted solely on the principle of efficiency and eco- | ness, wit, and refinement. The whole house was crowd- nomy, without reference to any political pay. The experience of some years has brought us to this conclusion; and if there be any who think otherwise if they would but reflect on the matter, they would | agree with us in our way of thinking. For a series of years past, a mighty struggle has been waging between the different political parties, to obtain the control of the city finances. The | lost—their beauti whigs would succeed the locofocos, by giving pledges of retorm and retrenchment; and the carry- ing out of their pledges were never dreamt of after they got in power. The democrats would then eome forward, and with equally as strong pledges, and equal insincerity in giving them, would be elected | over the whigs—the only benefit our citizens get- ting for the change, being an increase of taxation, anda determination evinced on the part of the | democrats, to out-Herod Herod in their extravagance | jy and corruption. | For a long series of years, had the unfortunate | people been humbugged by both the whigs and the | view of the audience the White Tower of London—a locofocos in this manner, until it was fairly hame | mered into them that no faith was to be placed upon the pledges of any political party. The na- tives then came forward, and with the loudest pro- testations against the corruption and extravagance of the other parties, asked the people to try them. Well, the people being heartily sick and disgusted with the knavery of the other parties, took them “for better, for worse,” and put them in control of the city. But they were in a short time convinced, that in taking the natives for better or for worse, they had the “worse,” while the natives had the “better.” They found that if the whigs and demo- crats were “blue,” the others were “sky blue.” | Well, the old rascally democratic party again came | forward, and were again elected—and, “tell it not in Gath,” they have positively proved themselves to be ‘*bluer” than even the natives. In this way, then, our tax paying citizens have been treated like a shuttlecock, by all political par- ties, and badgered and humbugged for a length of | | years, until they have become heartily sick of all | political parties. The cry now is, by one and all, “let us have a city reform party—let any set of men, | with any degree of claim for our support, come for- ward, and promise sincerely to conduct our city | affairs with a view to economy and efficiency, and Weare sick of politics in W YORK HERALD.

By reference to the proceedings of the Common | Council, on Monday evening last, and published in Tuesday's Herald, it will be seen that one of the party in power has responded to and seconded the cry for reform. Alderman Charlick, the same who, in his seat in the council chamber, was first tocome out and manfully expose the corruption of the na- tives, has likewise, in a magnanimous manner, stood up in defence of the rights of the people, and in condemnation of the corruption of the present He confessed that, “che never knew, not under the condemned administration of the native American party,¢and Alderman Charlick does not speak without full knowledge on the sub- ject,) such culpable neglect, and such frequent vio- lations of correct duty, as he had satisfied himself | were daily committed by our public officers.” He freely acknowledged that “no previous Common Council ever had its treasury so completely at the | rey of the designing and crafty,” and many other | ‘ks of the same kind. Here, then, is corroboration, of the strongest nature, of what we have been stating for some time We now ask the tax-paying citizens of the city of New York, whether they are willing to have the “treasury of the city completely at the mercy of the designing and crafty,” or whether they will not second our attempts to have all abuses correct- ed, and a party put in power who will manage the city finances with care and economy—whether they will not put in power a party who will be clear and uncontaminated by such leeches and sponges ; a8 are now connected with the present party— men who live and fatten on the corruption and ex- | travagance of profligate politicians % ‘We would say to the present party, you may go on for the brief remainder of your term; don’t come out at the eleventh hour and farcically propose mea- sures of reform; pocket the little that you have leit in the treasury, but then clear out. his day, and you have had yours.
