He then brought forward the name of Banker, and delivered an able speech in | favor of his motion, appealing earnestly and eloquently to the caucus todo justice to their Democratic brethren of the Eighth Dis- trict, who, because of the preponderating majorities of their opponents, had had no voice in the Legislative caucuses of the previous fifteen years, where nearly all the great officos of the State were distributed, Though the caucus did not adopt the novel proposition of Mr. Cnunci, they gave him what he was aiming to secure by bringing it forward, On the third ballot, after a eharp contest, BanKER was nominated over his formidable competitors, The Legislature then elected him Attorney-General, the duties of which position he discharged with marked ability for three years, when he voluatarily retired fn favor of Joun Van Buren.

The Hon, WinuiAM Marcy Tween has been turned out of his office as Deputy Street Commissioner, and has before him an immi nent prospect of losing, one by one, all the he has so long en- joyed, and out of which he has accumulated ‘ fortune of several millions. Consequently he begins to reflect that hereafter he will have to pay taxes instead of pocketing them, and that he has a personal interest in a good city government. This is the way he dis- courses on the sul ject “Tam one of the heaviest taxpayers in New York, aud I want her to have a good and eheap city government, and I intend Demoer: ublicans and everybody else, to be ember 5 proved, in the cbarter that Twill Prepare, I lave no personal suimosities in Unis mat- ter and no rsonal give New York a good city goverment.” What a pity it is that Mr. Tween should be kicked out of the Street Commissioner's office and shorn of so much of his greatness just as he has become such a good and patri- otic citizen! Why, according to his own showing, he ie the very man of all men to be placed in supreme command. But then, un fortunately, during all these years that he has been in office, he didn't see things as he sees them now, and people are afraid that he is like the old Scotch border chief, who, hav ing been compelled on his deathbed hy the priest to forgive bis enemy, could not forbear adding, by way of reeorvation, Mind, if T got well, all this goes for nothing.” TWEED has had his day, and Le bas his millions ;and now, since it has produced such a bleased change in his soul to turn him out of one office, we see that it will be good for him to turn him out of all, Let him then become a virtuous and patriotic private citizen, and console him- self with the thought that if he has to pay heavy taxce hereafter, it will be because he has plenty of property made out of the peo- ple of New York to pay them on, and plenty of stamps to pay them with —_ ‘The New Common Pleas Judges, Governor HorrMan has approved the bill providing for the clection of three additional dges of the Court of Common Plcas in this city.

The Young Demecracy have a glorious op- portunity before them, ‘They can now re form the government of this city, give us Lonest elections, honest voting and honest counting, honest enforcement of the laws, honest men in office, honest taxes, and honest municipal expenditures, ‘They can produce here a better condition of public affairs than has existed within apy man's remembrance.

The opportunity of the Young Democracy is to stand by judiciously and help the Grand Sachem in this novel line of business, It matters not 0 much to them what individual proposes the neceséary measures as that they should be radical and comprehensive, ‘The gallant men who have #o far led this memorable combat inthe Legislature need not fear that they will be forgotten by the people because they have forced the foe of all reform to come forth asthe advocate of the very changes he detests, Let Mr.'!wRED hurry up bis vaunted charter, and let it be ive made a lawns soon as it is examined and DOMINGO JuB. found to contain the featurca he has prom: | sow 4¢ eas Forcavadnwed in Cougress Fife teen Months Ago-A Nice L a Arranced=Food tor Grant's Was This the Bargain?
