lessen Or two in cotilions gaiIopades, nasourka-
the Times will help usbat then none Of US Of The
old Boss" as they call him, Of the First Ward can.
MI. Morgan, we rather think, but don't have the
honor Of knowing him, would appear quite as well in
doors as Mr.. Clark can but the Mayor is to keep
close doors now, since the Five Points made such a
clatIer among Mr.. Lawrences fine things on the LIST
of January this is not important, but there is no
doubt that the old Boss" is the man for the out
door-but whereas, they tell US, that Mr. Morgan has
a great horror Of rain, out door, muddy boots, riots,
rows, and SO on, which will without doubt secure him
strong support in some quarers-but not SO much IN
others.
Now once more and again. we protest against this
making mans business, honorably and fairly trans
acted disqualification for Office. We have not look
ed INTO Mr. Morgan's pedigree, nor have we inquired
whether ne or his great grand uncles great grand Ia
Tiers mothers brother sold lottery tickets or not
and we do not intend TO make such an inquiry. II
would be invidious and dsreputable in country Of
free institutions like ours In other countries, mer
chant IS not :" gentleman IN the strict technical
sense of the word ;-and it is just as dsrcputablc in
London, to get living by selling dry goods, or wet
goods, or any goods, as the Tammany Editors fancy
lottery dealing TO be here now when public opinion
may somewhat have turned against lotteries. In
this New World, we thought all men were above in
duging in such foies-bat the Tammany Editors are
revving Them and attempting to incorporate them
upon our Institutions Garry out the principle, and by
and by will be thrown into the teeth OF Henry Clay
YOU were poor Virginia beggar bey"-or Senator
Ewing, of Ohio, 4" you were an ostler and boil
er"-of Daniel Webster "you were Yankee school
master,"-of Albert Gaatin, "you were poor
Swiss emigrant" of John Jacob Aston you
poor dog once,-for already it IS said sheer
ingy Of Mr. Clark, you were a ci-derant lottery
dealer 7!
The truth is that SIXTY millions of the Surplus Re-
venue, which the AbanyRegency to loan The sachems
of old Tammany at two per cent. per dnnum, when
they can share with it al two per cent. month,
makes them wax fat, and they kick-but, gentlemen,
your day is over; you may hang up your harps upon
the willows, and wall aloud on account of your ma
nfod transgressions and sins-for the question now,
in this unrammeled city, is, not what mans busl-
toas but what he is. Alderman Clar. is an ho-
nest, capable, highly intelligent and practical man
and what Is OF great importance, he IS IN favor OF
bringing back the good old times, when money was
worth seven per cent. per annum-when rents were
neutrality-suspicious. lOw-and when the government
administered not for the benefit Of Tanmany,
and the Albany Regency, but for the common benefit
Of all casses-the poor and the rich hot for the few
but for the mdny.-N. Y Express.
