ALDERMAN BnuEs's Josmsc LoAs.-Alderman
Bruens proposition to loan the real Spectators
sir millions on the credit Of the city, does not seem
to make friends except with ,ha, part and parcel
ofevery species of speculation, the Courier Enquirer
Alderman Buen is the owner of large real estate pro-
pertes He is mixedup with real estate speculate tons
and if the loan authorised he or his friends would
very naturally como in for a large share.
Such is the real purpose Of the loan, stripped of all
deception and pretension
On the ground of public good, the proposition is
one of the most impudent we have made for many
a day. In the recent mania, real estate the first
article that went beyond its natural value, and drag
eed many other articles withi The rise in improved
property to say nothing Of lots caused the recent aug
menaton in rents and the terrible exactions ofland
lords.
The first impulse TO the madness Of the times orig
mated in the real estate speculations. Yet in the face
OF these facts an Alderman of the city of New York
has the daring erontery TO propose that the
community should be taxed six millions of dollars, as
loan to enable these spectators TO keep up rents and
the value of the real estate property In other words,
he saws to the whole body Of ciiizens-"We want
you to pay us high rents bat favor we beg you to
lend us your credit for six millions otherwise we shall
not be able T. grpc you any longer. Do lend US few
millions ard we will requite you by advancing yeur
rents % 10 so per cent"
This is Justly and truly Incorporation the morale
the principle-the real nature Of Alderman Bruen 8
proposition stripped naked Of all tn miserable ver-
bage with which he surrounded it with a speech.
Such ought to be drawn with disgrace from
the public councils of any city, and trust he will
be next election.
MARA MosK.-From the Montreal Ami du Peuple,
we learn that large Protestant meeting was TO b:
held in that city on Monday last The obcc, Of the
meeting was to express sense Of the estimation in
which the fabncations Of the nun and her abcttcrs
was held by the Protestant population Of Montreal.
Better late than never. Go ahead.

Nsw DUsINEss.-Ths Spectators in lots, real
estate, and granite companies have devised new
mode of raising the wind. The mechanics and labor
ing people have in the aggregate, about million d
dolSrs in the several Savings Banks For these de-
postes they receive 6ve per cent The SPECTATORS
very busy psrsuading the depositsrs to withdraw
their little of $50, $780, 500 each, by tempt
ing them with one or two per cent a month. We
understand that, during the last fortnight these chaps
have raised $500 900 by thus persuadng poor people
to withdraw their deposites. They give them Sc
curty, those baseless bonds and mortgages on real
estate cracked up to trpeits value One land specu
lator mas raised $4,000, in small sums, of the poor
who formerly deposited in the Savings Banks.
Now, such system of fnancerng as this, is highly
culpabe. II is the most ingenious piece of deception
we have ever heard Of The Savings Banks are per-
fsc,ly secure, and pay five per cent-but under the
pretence of paying per cent month, the poor depo
sitors will lose, probably, all the earnings Of their
lives.

A WIFE WANTED.

w fair ones attend, I've nm offer TO make YOU,
In hymeu sofi hands 4 am anxious to live,
For better Tor worse n companion II take nc,
Provided she fills the description give.
i neither expect nor can hope for perfection.
For that'novcr yet was bachelors lot
But, choosing wife, would make a selection,
Which many in my situation wouldIno',
l'dhave--4lot me soe---l d not have beauty,
For beautiful women are apt to be vain.
Yet with small share, | would think il duty
Totako her, be thankful, and never complain.
Her form must be good, without art 70 constrain il
And rather above than,below middle size;L
A somthing lit puzzles my brain to explain t,)
Like eloquent language must flow from her eyes
she must be we'll bred, or cannot erpect her:
Good natured and modest, but not very coy;
Her mind well informed-'tis the principle nectar,
That sweetens the cup of hymeneal joy.
Her home she must love, and domestic employment
Have practical knowledge of household affairs;
And make it a part of her highest enjoyment,
To soften my troubles and tighten my cares.
Her age woold have it at least to be twenty,
But not to exceed twenty five at the most
And. the girls of thatage beingevey where plenty,
hope to get one of that numerous. host.
Not fortune ask, for have no prediction,
For glitter or show, or the pomp ofhigh life;
wish to be bound by the cords of affection;
And now have drawn you the sketch of wife.
lfany possess the above acquisitions.
And wish tobe boundsby tbescoaiugal bant,s
Th'ill please to step for rdhey know the conditions

of dangers which may threaten the country to sug-

but highly favored country.
On the subject of political affairs, we shall stea-
Oily oppose every association of individuals, under
whatever name or Disguise, whose object is to re-
strain, by party management, the hull expression
of unprecedented sentiment; we shall advocate the
cause of pure, unmixed democracy.-not that kind
of democracy, which teaches blind and passive
obedance to the dictates ofparty and partisan lea
ders, without enquirng into the purity of their mo-
tiyes; but that which teaches the right and capa-
Icty of the people themselves, to nominate and
choose their own rulers, and prescribe their own
measures of government, nnaded by directions,
and uninfuenced by party leadres.
We shall endeavor to be temperate and respect

character and feelings of those who may differ with
us in opinion either as to men or measures; we
shall claim the right in respectful manner, to crit
cise the pretensons Of such as offer their services

but we will not treat as enemies, and as unworthy
ofpublic confidence, such as differ with us in opin-
