THE BANNERS ON THE OUTER WALLS—THE TRIUMPH ‘OF THE PASTE AND PAINT BRUSHES. The city yesterday presented a novel and interesting appearance. Every street was lined with flags, banners and decorations, all calculated to catch the votes of the people for certain candidates. The great number of banners swinging over the streets mast have created a demand for paint, that will, beyond doubt, materially affect the market. We have not made the inquiry, but we are confident ‘‘paint has riz’ within the last fow days. A walk through our streets would suggest that everyboly was a candidate, and that every candidate bad his flag “on the outer walls.” The City Directory has been taken directly through, from Alpha to Omega, and every name in it, printed in all the colors of the rainbow, stare at us from the sides of houses, or flaunt over us upon banners large enough to tent all the belligerents in the Crimea. The ambition of more men are satisfied in this campaign than in any campaign ever known before, That is, the ambition of having their names in print. It is immate- rial whether they are elected or not. One half the can- didates for office in this city think it more glory to have their names placed so conspicuously before the people than actually to fill some of the insignificant offices for which they are nominees. It would be laughable to watch some of these men as they go out every morning before breakfast, to devote half an hour in reading over their names upon the flag across the street, to seo if it’s all right; if some of the letters have not been turned upside down during the night; if it reads all straight: “For Inspector of Washtubs—Nehemiah Pudenhead.”” It woud gladen an epicure, and bea sufficient compensation to him for the loss of his dinner, to see the self-com- placency with which these “little great men’’ read over and over again for the thousandth time their ponderous names, proudly waving in the breeze. He looks at the passer-by, and wonders if that man knows it’s his name that’s upon that banner. He feels like running after him, for whom he has @ sympathy, because he's only a poor, bum- ble voter, and not great like himself, with his name. on big bangers, and telling him that ‘he is the candidate;”’ saying to him, by way of being democratic and familiar with the smaller fry of his fellow beings, ‘I am the man whose name is upon that banner, but then I'm not proud—I know we can’t all have office,”’ and thus make the simple elector feel easy in his august presence. He wonders that any man with common sense can vote against that name, and i# more proud in reading it over again, and seeing it dance in the breeze, than Cesar in- diting his “Veni, vidi, vici,” or Raglan forwarding his deepatches from the heights of the Alma. His vanity$ Jed on from one step to andther, he begins to think that ali hie Hife he has neglected the injunction “Know thy- sclt,"’ owing to whieh hia great endowments by nature have #® this time idly Hlept. To make reparation, he be- stirs himself, and finds out he’s a ppet as well as on ulestined for office, or, as he rays, ‘Born to command.’ His Gret attempt in “wooing the heavenly muse,” w+ have seen in print as follows:— come ONE! COME ALL! ! ‘The election is approaching, shells, Ye softs and hards come nigh, ‘Come all that have, or have not shells; Where freedom doth app! ty. Come silver grays and woolly heads, And men of every east, Yray do not wait ‘till fancy sheds _ A tear to cool your breast. Before we end this cong we'll steer ‘A thought within your brain— Protect your land, there's none so near For freedom to attain. Then come all those who wish to give Their votes, and we shall then Put down the rogues that strive to live By robbing honest men. It would be a waste of time to attempt to criticige his effusion. As Johnson says of Grey’s elegy, if he Pitos always like the above, ‘it would be vain to condemn and useless to praise him.’’ The thought most likely which he desired ‘to steer’’ within his reader’s brain, was that he should be voted for. If his name had been added to his poem, his election would have been certain ; but as it is, the public will be unable to reward thelr author, and if he is defeated, his modesty will have been “the rock upon which he split.’” ‘The above is the biography of some of the men whose pames are upon the political banners now waving in the city, and deserves a place hereafter among the “yellow kivered,’? under the title of ‘Confessions of s Candi- date.’’ But we have in this campaign all sorts of candi- dates, with all sorts of feelings, ambitions and charagg ters ; and in contradistinction to the above we have men, no doubt, who naturally shrink from the publicity given them, and will feel easier when election day is over and the banner is taken in which now presents them #0 boldly to the world. Men who de- sire success, no doubt, (for to wish to associate defeat with one’s name would be both unmanly and um nateral,) but who have, in reality, ‘‘a soul above buts tons,” and whose pride or vanity is not affected by the simple display of their names before the public on brick walls or from the windows of grog shops. Leaving to some one else the task of picturing more fully the cha § acter of the politician, we only at present give the ban- ners upon which he hangs. The following are some of the most important, which, for several days past, have courted our attention :— ON BROADWAY. This is the great avenue wherein to hang the bunting with which so many hopes and longings are associated, Thousands traverse this street to the hundreds in any other in the city, and herea banner must be read whether the pedestrian will or not. The first is stretched across the street between Dey and Cortland streets, and reads— geececocescoccocococecoece? rn MosrcrpaL Rerorm Nominations. ‘ok Mayor, ° WILSON G. HUNT. ° {Here follows the rest of the reform nominees.) 0 o2eceoo boocecoocceoccocce ecco acess ‘The above is a modest looking flag, the names of the nominees being given without any attempt at ornament by the paint brush of the artist. ‘The next is across Broadway ‘at the corner of Anthony street, and is— 5 OF Grrr nee ee ee} © se REGULAR DEMOCRATIC WHIG NOMINATIONS. oO ob ge An eagle, with the sentence oo So “ to keep clean atreets,”” of ches So For Commmmsionen oF STREETS AND LAMPS, 09 Fo o mo CHRISTIAN W.

This pince, the whig headquarters, had {ts entire front covered up with whig nominations, as follows :— eoceoceceooocoeoocoscossosesosoe ° ° ° For Goverson, ° ° MYRON H. CLARK, ° ° of Ontario. ° o (Here follows the rest of the whig State ticket.) o ° Soocoteoccococececoncocoses Underneath the above is— er ee eet ° For Mayor, ° ° JOHN J.

FOR MAYOR. FERNANDO WOOD. C22 229T CODD SO OS OCS CODD OT.oOo The above has been got up in the best manner, reg.‘fd- Jess of expense, showing that whoever had anything 1? do with it had money. The Broadway House looks po- verty-stricken in comparison with it. The words ‘For Mayor” are in immense red letters, looking ‘bloody, bold and brave.’’ ‘Fernando Wood’’ is a little green, that is,fhis name upon this fiag isin green letters, shaded with black. This banner is held down by immense sand bags attached to each corner. If one of these bags should happen to fall and strike a person upon his head it would be likely to hurt his feelings. The thousands who walk Broadway had better stand from under. At the corner of Spring street, one or two doors above above the Prescott House, we have again:— 2 000000000000000000000 00009 ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° eccce, MUNICIPAL REFORM NOMINATIONS. YOR Mayo!

The next sand bags which make us feel like dodgin while we pass along, as they rise and fall in the wind, are attached to canvass that reads as follows, flung ncroas from the windows of 650 Broadway :— Perervesaedesccecosesesoocss eccco ° DEMOCRATIC WHIG NOMINATIONS. o FOR MAYO! o JOHN J.

In the Sixth avenue, the monotony of the pic- ture in changed, by being presented with a large Ameri- can flag crossing the streets; on the stripes of which read, ‘‘ For Mayor John J. Herrick.’’ In the Eighth avenue the Know Nothings have been at work. Between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets is this, on a white flag— ©2000009600000000000000000 Peoria’ Tron. ‘An Eagle.)

Against whom? Who asks? &e. Euery party wants justice, which is understohd as most likely in the above case, that they particularly should be voted for. This is all taken for granted by the publ, and it’s superfluous to put it upon banners. Continuing on up this avenue, wo have other banners bearing Congressional City, and Charter nominees, for which we have not room. All the cross streets are simi- arly decorated. In Hudson street there are several flags that tell the people the names of those who are willing to serve them. ° ° o ° THE BOWERY. This street presents some fine ornaments in the way of flags, among the first and most attractive of which hangs across it at the cornerof Bayard street. It is as fol- lows :— Socoaoococ ooo CoO OOOO OO OODCO ° «(Through ages thou hast slept in chains and night; o Arise now, man, and vindicate thy right. esccceocooce For Congress, gO oeeeesersesesssesss: Full len; rtrait the pes thal upon & serpent seaseesecens seeeseneees: Prorie's Cuamrion. MIKE WALSH, eoocoocoococe eeoeceeceoooo coo CC CC ODD DOORS The contest in this part of the city, udging jfrom the flags of which we are writing, is mainly upon the Con- gressional nominees. The above banner is a “ buster,’ | asaman said tous while looking at it. The words “ Mike Walsh,” (between which is s fall length likeness | of the nominee himeelf,) is in large ‘red letters, and the | words ‘People’s Champion,” are tinged with green. The sentence over the head of ‘Mike’ indicates | that be was expected to do the “heavy business,” by those who put him on this barrier. Mike himself stands up like a colossus, with his {get upon a serpent, | which {s squirming about as if he had a hard time of it “Mike's”? hairs stand on end, apparently scorning to lay down to rest in the excited state of the head to which they belong. - Every capillary appears to be on the look ont for danger. ‘Mike’? himself has his arm raised in the attitude of speaking, while his coat tails, whose length igdicates they were made by an artist who under stands the fashion, appear to be impregnated with the general fear, and stand out at an angle that proves their desire to get away from the scene of action if they could Taken altogether, this isa frightful affair, and well cal- culated to inspire any voter who has weak nerves, with the belief that the countay was actualiy on the brink of Tuin, and the only way to save it was to rush to the polls and vote for the nan upon the flag. In the way of ban- ners the friends of Walsh out-do allothers. In Grand istreet, in Centre and Elizabeth streets, in Canal street, he banners of Mike Walsh are fiong upon the breeze, PRICE TWO CENTS. Coming down town, on the cast side of Vesey atrest, was ® banner as follows:— P2e00900009S90000000000000 Sretinton and Laws, Prine’ not a Nationan Duwoorani dan Ni fon Cong GEORGE DE WITT Ne 229000000000000000000000000 The above mottoes are prominently set forth, as if pow them the candidate was willing to stake his repata- tion and his chances of success. Among other banners, we noticed for Assembly, ‘“Je- seph A. Stickney,”’ in the Second distaict, with the sentl- ment, in the beak of a spread eagle, “No Sewardism, but our whole country.’ We also might add, “Marcus P. Ferris,’’ for Assembly in the Eleventh district, and “Aras G. Williams,’ for Assembly in the Fifteenth district. From the fiags, posters, &c., thrown out for all the above candidates, it is to be inferred their friends ‘are boun@ to put them through.” ‘We have thus far only spoken of the fags. Inaddition to this we might refer to the immense handbills spread throughout the city, giving the scene of huge ships sail- ing all over the sides of houses, temples of liberty aa thick as bees around # honey comb, and eagles, large an@ healthy, hovering over long lists of patriotic names. As we said in the commencement of this, the scene in the city yesterday was novel and interesting, and feom the endless amount of handbills and street banners around us, we are justified in classing these as the times ef the triumph of the pate pots and paint brushes. MEETING OF THE HEROES. A meeting of Mexican Volunteers and Veterans of the War of 1812 took place last evening, at'the Pulqueria de San Cosmo, corner of Greene and Broome streets. The object of the meeting having been stated, Wize Pet, one of the Volunteers, offered the following rese- lution:— Resolved, That the surviving poleiers. of the War of 1812, of the Florida and Mexican wars, requested te Seccco.s, oF it their votes, and use their arin: on behalf of n J.
