New-York tribune., 1841-10-01

the power and business of Banking had been en-
loved or sold BY the partisans OF the Albany Re
gencv. under that strange needy of good and evil.
of finance and politics, the Safety Fund S5s'eEn
The granting of Bank Charters and the distribG-
ton of Bank Stock were VIGOROUSLY and with
scarcely an sttemp; at disguise, made the powerful
instruments of Political influence and intrigue. The
first year of Wing ascendency witnessed the down
fall of this scheme and the establishment Of bet
ter. il not We, perfect systern-a system which.
whatever NAV be its faults, abolished the Monopoly
Il Banking and the exercise of Political influence
therein. Thus was great and dangerous evil eX-
terminated.
So with the Auction Monopoly. Prior 70 1887.
no man could act as an Auctioneer wi,hou; COM
mission, which could only be obtained BY party
fealry 10 Van BurenisTn. or by purchase Of some
one wfo mad so acquired il. Commissions we're
openly advertised in our journals. and their aver
age price 10 political heretics was i've hundred dol
lars per annum. In tbs Spring OF 1884 The election
of Mr. yerplanck "a Mayor was doubtless defeated
By the desperate efforts of the Auctioneers-rren
who were rewarded by the wanton plunder OF the
public for their services to the Albany Regency.
This abuse has also been thoroughly corrected I'M
der the Wing ascendency.
The reduction of the exorbiiant fees OF certain
Judicial officers, of the extrayagant cost OF the
State Printing the prevention of Election Frauds.

ascendencv in our State through the last ioHr years
All of Us know that to vote in warmly contested
Election in our City was formerly an operation OF
difficulty. delay and even danger 10 the feeble and
nfru Peaceful notiensi'e citizens we're required
to remain at the polls :or hours, and at last to Ell
bow their way through tho ruifanly, the riotous,
and tie oxa,perated, often maddened by intoNica-
ton. Torn or bcsmeared clothing was light at
hction personal indignities or injuries were by
no means infrequcnt. All this is now happily a6o!-
i,hed; and the voter instead OF spending hours at
the poll in peril of personal violence nov bcstowS
five minutes at the Ward Registry nnd three more
n, the District Poll, which il brought near ms own
do.r. Violence is unknown the three days OF
drunken ms anty are happily exchanged for one OF
peaceful, quiet effort. So far from being mobS,
there arc now not even crowds at the Polls.
Fraud is almost banshed from Elections, 20
long by-word for their corruption. And tins
glorious change has been effected solely by Wing
effort and, though originally proposed by our op-
ponents, has been resisted ut every step by them
with desperate maignity and calumny. But the
People perceive and know the reason Of this hos
tility.
Wings of New-York YOU have long enough
labored under the imputa:ion of supporting the in
terests of the rich and great nj the expense OF the
poor and depressed. We know the falsenes' Of
thi. accusation; acts have proved that we de-
spise it, But many of the ignorant though we'll
meaning are still Influenced and poisoned BY it, in
despite OF the evidence of the facts which we have
briefly stated. You have now glorious opportu-
nifty to answerit Come out decidedly, efficiently,
ardently in behalf of the injured Mechanic, and the
blessings of thousands shall be your abundant r."
