The act of the Legislature creating | a Nineteenth ward out of part of the Twelfth, provides | that the persons elected must reside, at tho of their election, in that section of the old Twelfth which is now the Nineteenth. It appears, however, that neither the Alderman nor Assistant Alderman elected reside in #he Nineteenth ward, but in the present | Twelfth ward, There is also amo.her difficulty. Itis | Uncertain: ther the Alderman and Assistant Alder- | man elected for the Nineteenth ward oan enter upon the dutics of their office now, or must wait till the be- ginning of the new year. The question has been raised whether Mr. James , Brooks, of the Express, who is re-elected to Congress from the upper district of this city, ism popular man, compared with his associates on the whig ticket One of the printers who opposed his election, pud- lishes a statement to show that Brooks owes his elec- tion to the Union party and the support of Mr. George Law and other hunker democrats.

The State of New York has been remarkable in coin- — ing names for political parties Mem of the last gene- ration will remember the designations of Lewisites or Quids, Clintonians, Burrites, Coodies, Bucktails, and Martling men, In more modern times, we have origi- nated im this city and State the party names of tional Kepubl: Working men, Fanny Wright m Whigs, Locotocos, Kank and File, Conservatives, iun. kers, and Barnburners. We have now, it sppears. add to the list the party designation of “ Silver Grays. This name arose at the late convention of nationel | whigs at Utica, when the Ifon. Francis Granger, presi- | dent of that convention, in @ speech made on the ocna- sion, declared that it would be his pride to serve in the renks of the “Silver Gray Mr. Granger did not explain why he gave that name to his followers; but it is gemerally supposed to apply to the ovlor of his hair, and that of otherlesders of the nationals in that convention—say Messrs Jo Hoxie, Hasbrouck, Daer, Carroll, and others | ‘The © silver greys,” hare thus far proved themselves | a feeble people, having only aided in the triumph of Seward and Weed. without exacting even the urual yuid pre quo. Greeley said of them, that they were very nice party if they did not winter-kill, to which | Hoxie replied. in his speech at Utioa, that he saw no- that looked like being winter- killed; ould kill off social- 4 all other cursed isms. As at present advised, wego in for the silver grays, particularly as we find Weed attacks them in his last Evening Jowrnel, accusing them of treachery The following are speci st Sibert creat whiz mesures.

Our pol 1 principles are now the Irgitimate and recognized sentiments of the whole enlightened world; and in this great commercial metropolis, controlling by its popula- tion—its high intelligence—its free and untram- melled press, bv tar the renter portion of the com- merce of the Western World, there is a firm, re- liable, and honest majority of frorm three to seven thousend in faver of the great and cardinal mea- sree et constitute the basis of the democratic creed. Bat whether that majority has ¢o-dey demon- strated its strength, or whether it has reryained in- active or inditierent, is yet to be ascertained. But if we are defeated, the loss of power let not the more! be obscured. If we have failed, it is not for want of numercial strength; it is not because the people are hostile to our principles, but rather because there is a decided, fixed, a growing repugnance on their part to the mannerm ich candidates are now designated for public favor. (A voice—* What’she driving at?) The popular will has been so frequently stifled by corrupt agencies, that many of our oldest and best demo:rats, are becoming indifferent to the exer- cise of the elective franchise, by far the highest oy. that can possibly devolve upon the citizen. ‘he good men of ull parties, have long deplored this evil, that has increased so alarmingly within the last few years. But reforms are necessarily the result of time; yet, it is questionable whether we have not reached that period when something posi- tive must be done. It we hope to command the continued confidence of the people, we must pre- scribe such regulations for our primary assem- binges. sna secure an honest expression of-the lar will. ‘he great body of our citizens are constantly absorbed in the pursuit of their own private avoca- tions; yet they are always ready and willing, at any time, te devote a day to discharge the ollige- tions they owe theircountry. Conscious that each man represents in his own person an integral por- tion of the political strength of the State, they de- sire that that power shall be wielded only to con- tribute to the general prosperity and welfare; and when they approach the ballot box to de- posit their nee they require to see some man designated for support who, beside repre- senting their political creed, shall also be a man of honor, of worth, of intelligence, and of character— the becoming representative of a great, free, intel- ligent, and commercial constituency. (Applause.) Gentlemen, there are no two codes of morality — one for the control of a man’s public intercourse, the other for his personal relations. An honest man in the private concerns of life, will discharge with fidelity public trusts; and it would be as im- possible for us to look for honest, straight forward public action where there is no priv te virtue, as it would be to stem the torrent of the Niagara with this single arm. It matter of history that since the adoption of the constitution, the South has exercised by far the greatest control in the national legislature; nor should this excite unkind feeling or surprise, as the causes are legitimate and natural. She has ever plaeed in her public council ablest sons. ‘here, more intimate personal relations exist be- tween the candidate and the constituent than with us. The candidate for public nominatioa, goes directly to the themselves; and while am in favor of the abolition of electors of Presi- dent, and in favor of allowing the people to vote lirectly for the candidate of their choice, | am, for the same Some ag gd favor of [scl LS > pac for nomination to be voted for directly by the peo- e Bat whether this 67stem er some other shall adopted, the party that hopes to control the in- telligent vote of this great city, must present their candidates through such a channel as shall com- mand the respect of the great body of the people. But, gentlemen, I son Krongeonag top long upon your indulgenze (go on, go on,) these general observations. Itis known, perhaps, to some of you, that in the Third Congressional district, the partiality of generous friends had designated my name as among those from whom the selection should be made, to represent that great commer- cial district on the floor of the national representa- , Where and genius meets ther equal of the ‘highest bearing. In the convention that ultimately made the se- the demociatic particularly of lection, it was our misfortune to be overborae, and whatever’ other districts may have done to-day, I feel authorized to announce, with great pleasure, our caudidate has been triumphantly elected. [Lively applause.) Bac l desire in this pte assemblage to tender very grateful acknowledgments to those friends who urged ny vancement, and the remembrance of their kindness will terminate only with my ex- | istence. Gentlemen, however the struggle may eventuate | to-day throughout the city and S:ate, we are in a vastly diflerent condition as a party from that we | oceupied when we assembled here but a year ago. | A year in time only has elapsed, yet a hundred | te have come in progress, in improvement, and | enlarged and catholic thought, throughout the world. Our matchless system of republican’ go- verpment has been subjected to the severest ordeal ever imposed upon human institutions, and let us thank God we have passed the crisis so triumph- yy as to extend the blessings of concord and Jadneee throughout the whole brotherhood of merican States. When we met here list year, we were filled with the most painful apprehensions and alarm. The national democracy had been | recently overborne by treachery, while gallantly contending for the sacred principles that had ever cenducted them to victory. But the overthrow of the national democracy in 1845, resulted not on | account of the ‘permanent abandonment of the | people of the great and fandamental doctrines of | the democratic ereed—they have ever been | tempt to organize a this country, on the basis of @ sectional issue. Tthank God it siguall and disastrously failed, | and demonstrated the folly of any attempt to build successfully up any great political organizition hostile to the two great political parties that grew out of the adoption of .he constitution, and have | ever since been struggling for the supremacy of | the federal and State government. But, gentle- men, the atiempt to force upon the American peo- 4 asectional issue—to draw political distinctions | Y geograpaical lines—hary not been without its beneficial results. It has aroused the latent patriot ism of the country; it has caused goo | and true men, of all parties, to forget all other coasiderati in ietiog famaticism—ia rebuking faction—in standin’ by pnetitution and the Union as the highest of all earthly obligations.

There can be no question but that libertey is the domimaut sentiment of the age, and that the tgp is controlling and directing that sentiment as it convulses the ocean ef human thought and emotion, at home and abroad. Ia the crisis through which we have peo, the demo- cratic press of this city has nobly performed its duty; but in the settlement of the slavery questions at Washington, the independent press of this coun- try bore a most conspicuous part. I would not make invidious distinctions; but in this city, from the columns of the New York Herald alene, an influence was exerted in favor of the constitution and the Union, reaching far beyond the power of any statesman of the age. (Three cheers for the INew York Herald. But, gentlemen, whatever may be the result of this day’s labor, here, in the mutual presence of one another, let us recognize that great truth, that ne- ver should be fergotten—in the honor, and glory, and renown of upholding and perpetuating this great fabric of free government, we can all share; and in the deep and lasting mortification that shall mark its overthrow, we must all alike participate. Wecannnot sever our fortunes from theinterests of our country—we must rise or fall together. Let us, then, hope thatthe same spirit of liberality, of concession, of compromise, in which our fathers formed the constitution, will continue to be evinced by their descendants in its preservation and con- tinvance. And if we are defeated here, in the city, let us ponder well upon the causes of our defeat, and rely with unbroken confidence upon the exertions of our friends throughout the State. The husband- laborer have ever been the guardians of liberty: ‘ Princes and Kings may flourish, and may fade; A breath can break them. asa breath bath made: But a sound yeomanry—their country’s pride. When once destroyed, cau never be supplied.”” A Voicr—Tell us something about our adopted citizens.
