In propor iva to E araity— oF even to Lime- the longest lense of haman power and pride is short and uvimp rtant, Bat the cotton traitors realise a brevity to their boasting, which koks not long by the shortest measures—not even by the watch They really supposed their states to be strong, tich and independent, for the sin, fr reason ‘that they had something to sell! It is usually found by those who actually transact business, (however it may be thought by mon whose only experience has been to talk po iticr,) that buyers, with full pockets, are the nabobs, and sdleraare the men who court and cringe, Anybody in New York would have known the difference, which we venture to say not one regular cotton Politician ever reslized. Well, they promised themselves and the world, to have the ships and gold of all nations at their doors, entresting the royal bounty of their king, Corton, the moment his in¢ependent monarchy should be proclaimed Dire disaypointmont— * nome #0 poor to do him reverance!" § arva- tion stares bis faithful lieges in the face, and king Corton lies on his back, locked up in ware- houses, impotent to move, much less to succor them that trusted in bim; a fallen idol, spit upon by bis very monials, and worthless to his worshippers. In simple terms, their whole moral and monetary credit fell prostrate at th® first public act of treason, and the commercial system by which alone the exchange of commo- ditiee can be effected on the large and rapid scale | eretato take some immediate ac'ion today necessary to the daily exis‘ence of a civilized community, perished so far as they are concorn od, in amoment. Its lingering life, waiting the eonsummation of the nadness of the Jacobins, barely cuffices to keep universal famine from the doors, and leaves them crippled for even the or- dinary processes of business, in the very moment when they were to assume the gigantic burdens of independent and belligerent s'stes. If the cotton states had but the little strength necessary for large mischief, they might break up the Union. But their physical impotency is tuch thet bare collision would have been impos- sible to them, it ordinary militery prudence and firmness had been used by the head of the mighty Union against which they threaten to dash their puny heads. Even yet, with tardy ood management, tke comt may be #0 held, and the power and will of the Union so mani- feasted, ‘that although many tregulsrities and much disorder and disloyalty may be left un- punished and even utchecked, the revolted states may be coerced to loyal:y by their own impotency ard misery, without shedding « drop of brother's bleod. New City ¢ 1 Ovm readers will find in another column an abstract of a bill to amend the charter of the city of New York,introduced by Mr. Bransau., of the 224 Ward. Acccording to Mr, Bunoaatt's plan, the Mayor would be simply President of the Boord of Aldermen, as this function, includ- ing the appointment of the committess and the same vote aga member, on executive appoiat- ments, sppears to be the only one lef; tkim—the Lvard of which he is president, being in fact, the lepclature and executive in one, The Aldermen ase to represent equally the ma- jority and minority of the votes, being elect- ed on # general ticket in the manner of the pre- sent Board of Supervisors, each citizen votingfor only half the number to be elected—eight every two years,—the four highest and the four next them on the poll, being each entitled to soaty, The msjority are compensated by having the Mayor as Presideut of the Board. This plan looks to the removal of the Board from under party control, and gives the whole forces reapec- tively, of honesty and rascality, throughout the city, a chance for ore decisive general battl every clection—if the former would only avail thomeectves of it. This appears to be the on'y thing needful to make the proposed, or the pre sent, or apy other charter, all that could be do- tired; but unfortunately it cannot be incorpor- ated in the act. A Manlcipal Diticalty. Onn Uranch of our City Legielature is illustrat ing into what confusion the business of govern- ment might be thrown were it placed exclusively under the control of a local parliament. A majority of the Board of Councilmen cannot egres in the choice of a President, The Board is composed, this year, of twelve Democrats, eleven Republicans and one Mozart Independent, The Democrats vote for their caucus candidate and the Repub'icans for theirs, while the Indepen- dent Mozart man votes blank or for himself, His vete for the Democratic candidate would secure bis election, but cast for the Republican candi- date, it would orly cause a tie ‘The vote, conse quently, is worth most to the Democrats, but, perhaps Mr. Independent isnot eaally conciliated, eosing that be has the power to compel the oppos- ing parties to break their party lines or to pre tent the disgraecful spectacle of continued disor- ganization, ‘The Presidercy of either branch of the Com- ‘mon Cout ci) has become a position of great im- portance, as the President appoints all the com- mittess, and otherwise controls the dispatch of business, To be chairman of an important com- ‘aittes is an object of strong desire, and perhaps a little change in the secret programme ef ‘“stand- ing committees,” or some other ‘‘ compromise,” may enable the Councilmen to choo.
