In municipal affairs he will act as le has hitherto done in the performance of the business of his profession. He will sit down at his desk ond discharge his duty there with the promptitude and fidelity of Uue clerk in his office. (Applause) There are other ames on the ticket to which 1 think full justice has not been done, and omong these I perceive that of Mr. Southworth. (Ap- plauce.) Imregard to him 1 will say there is mone on the Vist of candidates more popular among the working classes of New York—among that class who are inde- pendent in their character aud unblassed in their jadg- ment—a class ofmen who possess sonnd and solid abDilty, and upon whom the country depends for the support of its reputation at home and abroad, He has won for him- self a name of which any man might be proud, and it is with pride that he acknowledges his connexion with those who are truly the builiers of cities and empires. He is a meebanic, and one of those who build cur ships, ond who send them out on the high seas at on the bigh seas to sustain American commerce and industry. fave! e.) The as a whole is gon ticket, and the names bave heen selected solely with re- gard io their ability and integrity. It may be that there are many who still cling to their old party tios and aff! liations, but they should not be bowed by party obliga. tions in em: ncies like the present. For the manage: ment of on efty affairs we should elect trae men to office, without distinction of party. In national politics it is very well for men to stand by ther essociations, bat in city aflaire all euch party should be totally disre- garded ln the election of pr cant. Those whe hold effice in the city of New York. it seems to me, regard themeelves as @ privileged class, ond think they have negbtto thrust their hands into the kets of the people, and to take therefrom without stint or imit—euch im fact, is the condition to which we have art that ‘we bannot transact any business officials without having previously pala ma, rges therefor—charges which ave bob iNegal and ust. At the present time, the city of New York, in 1 of occupying that prond amd inent position among the cities of the Union, stands disgraced becanse her prominent men are arraigned for malfeasance in office. Now, a great deal has been said against reformers, and we are told that they have held office for two or three years, while the corruption of which they are guilty, ‘ae glaring as ony of their predecessors, “But let me mind those who say so, that wherever they have elected men to office they have proved themselves trud to their principles, and have never decetved or betrayed thie by whom they were elected.

(Applause,) When I open the papers every morning and evening, when I contemplate ‘the spectacle we exhibit to the world—that of a city which should be the mest beautiful and well ordered in the world, but for for the curse of 9 bad government—when I see our pub- lie functionaries brought: betore the sbar of criminal justice, whether gullty or not,’ it is not my pro- vince to say the sad and mournful spectacle over- whelms me with’ chame and abasement. When I open the papers, and see their editors and contributors so exercised about Nebraska, Passmore Williem: on, the questions which divide the hard shells, soft shells {talf shells and no shells, it makes me feel sad to think that the great mass of the community can be 50 indifferent to the questions that come nearer home, and which lie at their very doors. We have reached a crisis in the affvirs of cur city government which culls upon ever man to reflect and act manfully in the performance ot his duty. Ifap increase of taxation is to proceed—ife geu- eral and social demoralization, consequent upon the scenes which ate now exhibited, is to goon increasing, in ten . years it will be almost impossible for well disposed citizens to live here. What do your taxes amount toy It costs nearly six millions of dollurs to govern your city: About four miltions ae expended in extraordinary and special assessments for opening streets, and other im- Trovements work necessury in many instances when well and fairly done, but often done in a inanuer to subserve pelt purposed, instead of promoting the public good. millions is bnt a small sum to what the expendi- i bein the future, unless the people rise in their ma- Jesty, eschew their party predilections and swear they will attend themselves to their rear, dear and fireside interests. (Applause) ‘The laboring classes are expecially inter- ested in having a good and honest city government, ‘The hedman who mounts yoncer ladder with his bricks and mortsx upon his back, i more interested ia having a good and economical city government than the million- aire, (Appliuse.) Why Beosuse it is « lished maxim in political economy, that labor always pays an undue share aud proportion of the burthens of govecn- ment. Long before the days of Adam Smith, this maxim well understood by astute men. It is ia the power of eapital to force the burthens of labor on consumption, Wil you say tha’ laboring men have no interest in an economicn! city government, when they eat taxation in every mouthful of food that they consume? Tie result of the heavy taxation under which the city has suffered has been so disastrous that men of moderate means can Fardly live here. You seo cities and villages apringing up all around this metropolis, to which our heavily op- pressed citizens flee, ag did righteous Lot from burn- ing Scdom. Ihave the honor to belong to that much abused fraternity called the Reform Association, and m the course of my Jabors I have frequently gone to gentlemen who have incomes of 20, 30 or $10,000 a year, aod asked tor their sympathy and sup. port. But, instead of giviog ua thelr sympathy and sup- port, they betake themselves to their pleasant parlors and firesides and rest themselves in laxarious ease, while the public plunderers which infest the purlieus of the City Hall are coneoeting and eonsunuinating their echemes of public plunder. Hus it not struck you that for two or three years since our city government has be came sv very liberal and disposed to pour out her treasures so’ lavishly, that a new set of men have sprung up in and about the Park? Im view of such a state of things, it behonves every good and honest citizen to awake to a sense of his cuty in the coming election. We should all sacrifice our old political autipathics and predilections for the sake of a reform im our present city government. I call then upen every man who has the weal of his city at heart to De at bis post of duty on Tuesday next, Let us as biethren be united in the good cause of reform in our cily government, und see whether we cannot restore the fair fume of this great and beautiful city. Let us, like a band cf brothers, unite in a long and strong pull alto- fher, and believing that tho disease ts not yet so far A, but that, if we will thas unifed persevere, wa estore the fair fame and honor of this great and beautiful city, (Applaure.) Mr. Trac H, Batten, amid repeated cries for Fraser, was then introduced to the mee ing by the chairaan, and ruid that he wished to call the attention of the audi: to the singular circumstances under which this ng Was called and the reform ticke! was presented. Tic hap) ened to know that ihe Reform Committee had no Gesize to preeent a separate and distinet ticket for the suliveges of thelr idlow citizens. They deferred doing +> till the very last moment, in the hope that the conven- tions of the other parties would present such candidates as Would caciy outa reform in the fly government, The irst convention held—the Native Amevicwn—signalized thelr action by leaving olf their ticket he best oilicers the city of New York ever had—Asariah C. Flagg. It was hoped, then, by the friends.of reform, that the whig party in iheir convention, would render justice to the ciforts of this able and devoted public servant, but this expectation was defeated. Tawmany Hall was then the lasi hope, and there they saw some sign of recogniiton of what was due to a man of high character, by the unani- mous nomination of Mr. Flagg. They af least deserved the credit of :agacity in seeing’ that public opinton de- manded tke re-election of that iauithfal public officer. All gocd_ citizens were interested in having a goo! govern- ment, s0 that 1o longer should it be hurled in thele faces, when abroad, that the people of the city of New York were such a mean, contemptible community, that ihey re-clected swivdlers and men who had no fitness in any reepect fer the responsible offices to which they were elected. Among other refoims besides that of electing an honest and ha ee city government, he would have the charter election take place in the spring of the year, ond by itself. He would go farther than hat, and have the Mayor elected by himaclf and separate Il other officers. Alter precenting the arguments iu favor of these ro- forms at some length, Mr. Bailey concluded by expressing the conviction that the Keform Committee had donv every- thing in their power, and to the utmost of their ability, to recure the triumph of thelr ticket, which, if defeated, could not be attributed to any fault of theirs, in not pro- perly presenting it before the public. ‘he speaker then resumed his seat, and the meeting adjourned.

Sincerely yours, EDWARD EVERETT, The visit of Washington to Boston, to which Mr. Everett refers, was made for the purpose of having a question of military precedence settled by Governor sbirley, who then had the chief command over the forces iw British North America. The dispute was between Vir- ryland, and was rather serious inits charae- 4 ton commenced his journey on the 4th o ry. 1756, accompanied by Captain George Mercer, ide’ and Captain Slewart,¢ cavalry officer, hoth Vie giniams. Stewart had attended Bradilock in’ his dying hours. The journey was made on horseback, for the very good reason that ft could be made in no other way. nated ihe party travelled in some state, accompanted by ne geces in very, Washington was then the colonial hero and talked ere, because of what he had done and because of what he might have done with Braddock’ army, hed it been under dix command. He was hore ten days, and was received in the “best society,” the sxoclal distinctions of those times being very marked, and no- where more so then in the colonies. “The society of the Province House, where the by Governors kept up quite a vice regal court, was of a higher sort, we can easily suppose, than is to be found in gubernatorial mansions in these times. Washington attended tLe siitings of our Legidature, and heard the military discussions that were thore had.’ More tham twenty years later, ho again wislt- ed Boston, entering the place at thé head of the Amori- con army, after having expelled the English forces, un- der Howe, from it. He had been in the vicinity for al- most nine months before, but did not enter the town un- til he had delivered it from the enemy, sinee which time Boston bas never known the sight of ‘a hostile force, copt that, forty Jcais go, and a little more, the lofter rails ef a few British cruisers were occasionally visible from our higher grounds. The third and lost tlme that Washington was was in the avtmn of 1789, when he made his tour to New England, not many months atter bis inauguration as President of the United States, kven Mr. Everett eould not have a better theme than that which is afforded ie, contrasts between the times and the occasions of Washington's visits to Boston. The celebration in February will bo one of much inter- est, and the orator will ditcharge his part effectively. He is Feturas contive to come io, showing how fant the towns of this State are increasing in population wml wen! Mactborough, tn Midleres county, th tngreas ed from 2,941 to 4,288, in five years. The oldest inha- ditant is Prentiss, a colored man, who wae born in Connecticut, February 4, 1760. He wasa slave and the ofa Mrs. Lattemer, from whom he ran wr ink but was seized at Shrewsbury, in this State, and taken from Connecticut back to his owner. The idea of s fugitive slave Pr ee Sees ear he ran wo rough, hes athe ee He was an eye witness of Bendict Arnold’ i are five pec- im mani je i Attlebor one of the greatest places for that kind of bus ‘the country. OR If the whole State had increased at the same rate with these two towns, our population would now be but little short of a miliion and o half; but that is not to be ex- pected, us I said some time since. By the way, Salew is the only place, so far as Ihave beard, in which there has been a positive loss since 1850, and the loss there has been precisely one. [suppose that can be borne with, ihougib suse ‘be 130 to a community to decline to any amount, when there is s0 much increase in almost all ocher places. 1s been issued to the clergy of this State by soabe of thele number, begging and entreating, and imploring them to do all that they can to uphold the Maine law. This isa plain confession that it is ina bad way, and the interference of the in its behalf will do it no good. The age in which clergy were rove- renced as a superior order of being hes Lot gas as ut. terly away from the earth as that in which it was the custom to “ang old women for being partial to fblack cats and owning dilapidated broomsticks—a eustom, be it re- collected. the clergy were fiercely in favor of, and for oing against which they were in the habit of sending fhe lnity to that encly hell, —* ‘Which answers to al! doubts so eloquently well. ‘The partons act, in almost all cases, 60 childishly in mundane affairs, that their aid is a dead weight to any cause, Let them begia to preach in fuvor of the Maine law, as a clase—inany of them have already done 60 as individusls—and {t would increase the liberal yore by thourands. Mr. Wells, who has been here to aid his democratic brethren, is expected to be the candidate of his party for Governor of Sew Hampshire. The democratic State Convention wil! meet on the 14tli of November, and it is confidently expected that its action will be the first in a series of movements that shall end in restoring New Hampehive to the democrats, We shall see. Governor Gardner has appointed our annual thanks- giving for Thursday, November 20, ina neat, weil writ- ten and pious jrociamation. We hive a good deal to pe thank(ul for, und itis to be hoped that we shall be grate- ful on the 28th of November. ‘The whigs of both Essex and Middlesex counties have | declined the polite invitations of their democratic frients to “come and be killed,” and so ends the prospect of there being apy such cralition on Senators and iepre- senvatives as would be likely to prove fatal to both republicans and Know Nothings, Perhaps I am wrong in saying Representatives, for their fate must depend upon the views ot whigs and demo- crats in some three hundred and odd towns, and so may not bo properly included in the results of the action of a few gentlemen who are not partial to being swallowed alive. But as to Senator, the fight is to be. substantially, between the Know Nothings and the Rockwell meu, the only two parties in the Stute that huve, in themselves, any power to speak of. The whigs or the democrats, un- aided, cannot carry @ single county iu the State, from Suffolk to Duhes, though with the aid of the liberals the: may offect something. In sfiddtesex county the liverals have made up a Senatorial ticket, on which are the names of two of the democrats nominated py thelr own party, two of the whigs in the same situation, and two other gentlemen, Col. Wright, of Lextagton, and Mr. Worcester, of Townsend, ‘The vote for these gentlemen will show the extent of the siberal strength in Middlesex. 1 doubt whe- ther Mr. Worcester will aecopt the nomination, as he is anold school whig, and nat likely to do anything against the sense of his party, which is just now adverse to the pursuit of such action as the libécals favor, in the matter of legislative rominations. ‘The democrats have had some more good meetings here this week, though one of their number, wao attend- ed both of thein, told me that they were rather of the “flummox”’ order, as he elegan'ly expressed it. Quite a number of speakers were present from the widespreid region of elgewrhere. and did their best. to get up the steam; but itis an wp-hill business in Massachus-tts, where “national democracy” is about as popular a erced as Mormonism would have been of old in the The- bois, However, the democrats can always fall back upoa their national position, and so long as that shall exist— and the republicans are not likely to drive them from i’ from present appearances—they must be respectable and respected. Ridiculous as they appear as a local party, and Cepencing tor their very existence upon the aid of the liberals, they are seen to be a portion of that mighty orgepization which has governed the country for half a century, which constitutes a mighty brotherhood, ex- tending to the remo‘est parts of the ‘nation, and which alone has not been utterly ruined by success, though oceastonally much stricken by it, Yet even the demo- crats ought caily to thank heaven for having given to them such fools for foes; for I suspect that history will ray that their long series of triumphs were quite as much due to the follies of their enemies as to any other cause. y are political Romans, who conquer because they y cucounter men capable of fighting to the death. higa of Boston had a meeting in Faneail Hull last evening, which was well attensed, ano at which several gentlemen made very respectable sort of speeches, which, however, would have answered better for the an- icdiluvien world than for the present age.

GxyTumeN—It would give me much pleasure to be present at the delivery by Mr. Meagher, on to-morrow evening, of his lecture before the members of your Insti- tute, to which you have xindly invited me. But I shall be unavoidably prevented. “The Influence of Science on the Welfare of Society,” (his proposed subject. ) is +0 capable of philosophical dis- quisition and of practical and historical illustration, and is so well adapted “to paint the connexion between the mechanic and the other pursuits and occupations” of J nd to show ‘ the foundations which exist fn our own natare for a cordial reunion between ther ” that Thave no doubt, in the hands of the accomy turer, improvement and information will be all who may have tho happiness to hear him, How immeasurably, too, is such a theme elevated above the shallow and evanescent topics which usually enter into mere party political contest! In these, the only consolation often is, that they cease to exist and alarm, with each recurring occasion, leaving even no recollection behind them, other than regret at the expedients fre- quently resorted to for success. But Relence, and above all, tha! particular departmont of it appertaining to your pursuits, locks from the present end the future, to supplying the wants, comtorts and happiness of mon. Here, there ie no room for sectional controversy, no place for religious bigotry, no ground for political or us ution. i In the pure atmoep! which it creates and preserves, the only rivalry which oan exist is in striving which can Co the most good to individual and social man. result to Subserving as you do, objects and results like these, it sa impossible that any enlightened community can fail to acknowl », to the fullest extent, the claims of your clase to the highest credit and boner; and with a’ full sense of your title to be so esteemed, i] ) With regard, your obdt. servt.
