IHx fRINT1Rs-THE FIREhEF.-EveIy Oay con- |
vinces more fully Of the fact that brawlng Poiti-
clans are not only great resues, bat The
leaders Of the wing party in this city are destroying
themselves by quarrelling about the respective
merits Of Clay and Webster for the next Presidency
before the fall election has given such tone to the
state OF politics as to justify any such movement
On the other hand the crazy, reckless ragged LEGO
foeos are cutting their throats uike pig swimming
against the stream,) by their scandalous appoint
ments and proceedings in the Common Council With
some honorable exceptions, they have appointed
men to power, and Offices of high trast and respon
sibility, who are known for their bad conduct
brawlers, rioters and rOwdes of the most disgusting
character. One of their most prominent marshals
is man who was indicted for most scandalous
outrage, and who only escaped "unwhipt Of Justice
through the chicanery of counsel and the laws de-
lay" or a similar character many other Of their
appointments. They have also incensed the firemen
and printers, and arrayed them in two formidable
and united masses against them. And Of all classes
OF men, the most dangerous and determined antago-
nists to any political party are the remen and the
printers. They have tempered with valuable
fire department-trampled its dearest rights, and
insulted its members, until they de sroyn
its effectiveness and utility Towards that Highly in
telligent, useful and powerful body of men, the jour-
neymen printers Of this city, they have behaved in
most scandalous manner; they have appointed to
the various departments Of the corporation printing
tive fellows who know nothing at all Of the business,
and third who is disgrace to it; political scamps
who are pest to society. The appointment Of such
persons as Denman and Locke are disgrace to the
party; they are not printers-know nothing what
ever OF the business, and have sympathies what
ever with the influential and intelligent eurneymen Of
he he &c ou D.
the Evening Post" is still worse. Bryant is the man
nOminay appointed, but he has virtually nothing to
do with the printing. Boggs is the person who will
do the work and who will receive all the emolument
and he is unworthy the name Of printer, from his
disgracefuly anprofessisnal practices Instead Of
appointing such fellows to these Offices, the Corpora
ton should give their printing to honest industrious
and respectable working printers; men who know
their business, and honor to it. Men of good
character, with families, and who have means of
obtaing livelihood, but the highly honorable and
useful employment OF working printer; men who
pay their way, and pay their workmen, and who do
not endeavor to defraud them of their just dues But
the evil has been done and the printers have been
suited The day Of retribution is at hand; the prin-
ters can command 1000 votes in this city, and hen
the hour Of trial comes, they will with voice
and enc heart-as one man.
o. President Van Buren, leaves Washington to-
morrow via Harrisburg, for Saratoga and Oswego.-
Let's get up pow-wow for him, and have fine dish
of cabbages prepared.
HARLEM BRIDcE.-The old Harlem Bridge is now
a free bridge. This happy contamination has been
resisted for many years, but by recent decision Of
the Court, it is at last opened for the public At
tempts may be made to carry it a higher Court in
hopes Of reversing the decision-but we doubt whe-
Their il can be successful.
The HORNET HvMBUG.-The Dispatch has
been trying to get up breeze about cock and bull
story attributed to John Reid who alone escaped
from the fate OF the Hornet that oundered some years
ago in the Gulf Of Mexico. We know the John Reid
in question very we'll lie arrived yesterday in town,
and now tells story that he wrecked with Sim
bad the Sailor on the coast Of Arabia This extra
ordinary shipwreck shall give in a day or two,
and beat the Dispatch all hollow
The RAvEL FAMILY unravel themselves This
Evening, at Nibo's Garden. Those who wish good
seats had bettor go early.
