There we are, as Power says, precious pair, all
thee Of ye! But the best of the joke is that they
have not got two ideas betoon' the three of them.
And yet this unhallowed and unssssed tria junctcin
unO dared, in the plenude of port wine, porter and
pale ale, to cast pitful aspersons on the Mayor Of
this great city, elected to that Office by majority OF
the wealth. the intelligence, and stamina, of the c-
zens Of New York
The Courier, i. 6. surly Saowden, hoegish Hosken
and waporing Webb with reckessness that scarce
ly admits of parallel, charged the Mayor with
neglect of duty, in not dsnissng the two marshals
and arrestng Bloodgood and the French Vice Con-
sui. Did the Courier give any evidence that would
bave authorized the Mayor pursue such course 7
None whatever. He is an executive and net a judi
cal officer. He could net pursue the Vice Consul
with q process. If the police magistrate foand that
the Vice Consul had acted illegally, the remedy was
in his own hands, He could have made affidavit OF
the charge of perjury before of his brother mags-
trates, and La Flechee could have been arrested on
warrant and held to bail, he now is, to answer
the charge. But the Mayor could do this, under
the circumstances, as they transpred before him.
And how stands the case with regard to the mar
shals? Was any evidence given 10 the mayor TO
warrant even their suspension? None whatever, as
the grand jury, under oath, have certified The hands
of the mayor, then, tied; he was powerless.
Bloodgeod says he told the mayor the French ships
would anchor on Saturday night. Sheriff Acker
says that Bloodgood told the mayor no such thing;
but, tout au contraire, that the ships had sailed.
Here, them lies lie, point blank, between Boodgood
and Acker which, for the honor Of both, had better
be cleared up without delay.

of two years of our lfe make varian mayor of this
city, we would checrfully make the sacrifice.
But let US expose the motives Of the "Courier.
After Clark was elected, Webb came TO him and sad
"Mr Mayor, all / want Of the Wing party my
share Of the spols, is, that You give Snowden the
printing Of the Mayors Office" Old Tom is an in

this, but did not tell the mayor So Inc mayor SAFE;
"it shall be DONE Mr.. Webb" The mayor appoint

sistants 10 appoint him their printer. But Mayor
Laurence had gipen Denman printing enough 70

Clark cave into office; and because Clark did not
destroy all this, and give Snowdcn more to do, old

We say compeis Webb 10 don; and why Tom,
like Judas, carries the bag; and we all know the
power Of money. Webb in private IS COED fellow,
but he overruns the constable; he gets embarrassed
in money matters. For long time he was on a sal

ney at command. If Webb was to say "Come,
| Sns widen, lend me o thousand dollars" Tom could
de it, but he would have qaid pro quo! hence the
sccret OF his influence.
| Well, Tom did not a curse about Clark when
ne found Denman had done all the printing, so he
sought the first chance to abuse our worthy Mayer,
