Public Money in violation CT Law. which he, the
Mayor, aledged nay made affidavit. was given by
him TO Mr.. Gage, Superintendent of Streets, to
sweep and lime the streets to preserve the health
Of the City By Report from the Comptroller
made TO the Board of Aldermen on Monday even
ing it appears tina, he has settled the accounts OF
this Mr.. Gage late Superintendent of Streets, and
that said Gage IS indebted to the City 1854 ~
without taking into account the $4,000 the Mayor
paid over to him. The Comptroller winds up ms
Report in the following words: " As the amount
OF $4,000 os the public monies, which his Honor
n. Mavor had taken from James II. Ward, First
Marshal, to pay the Superintendent of Streets IN
riolation of lar cannot be forthcoming from this
account, would respectfully suggest to the OoH'-
mon Council the propriety of call BY the Counse
of the Board on his Honor the Mayor, and all the
parties participating in keeping this money out OF
the Public Treasury, for its immediate restoration.
~ The Morning Post declares that it does
not feer Mr. Clay as candidate for resident
Verv right. II our former article on this subject
expressed any thing more than this, that the fos'
was conscious that Mr.. Clay would prove strong
candidate, and that the utmost powers OF Loco
Focosm would be taxed to defeat him, then II IN
nlied more than we intended The Post, having
confidence in the soundness OF its own principles
believes its candidate will beat ours, just as we
think the contrary.
The stereo;yped Loco-Foco phrases in which
the Post repewedy assuils MIR. Clay may pass for
tho nreseot. That he is (" in favor of hardening
some branches of Industry with taxes for the ben
eft of other branches, is simply mis-statement
The Post doubtless thinks that this is the effect
of the Protective Policy; but this does not justify
il in asserting such to be the object and intent of
those who differ from it on that subject So OF
,oe can't of "excusive privileges. MIR. Clay
doubtless believes that the functionary of the Gov
ernment on whom is devolvod the ercl@sive duty
Of performing certain necessary and benehcent
service to the Peope-whether Executive or Jul
dicial, Military or Civil-should have the excu-
siye privilege of commanding the means proper
and essential to such service-no,hing more.
But saws the Post, of MIR. Clay:
He the avowed friend of paper money, than which,,
as Webster truly says expedent mas yet oeen ae
yised better adapted Tor iertzns the rch du Dy
the poor mans sweat
There i. a dishonesty in this quotation which the
p1ebeiau might have meditated, but we think the
Post could not Mr.. Webster's remark referred
to Paper Money not redeensadle an or squiralent
10 Specie 1t was made in advocacy OF Joint
Resolution introduced by him to Congress, direct
ine the dscoutinuance of the practice of receiving
the iyredeemable notes Of non-specie.paying
Banks and expressly stipulating that the notes
of Specie-paying Banks should still be rscesved
as money. OF such Paper Money as MIR. Web
ster so Justly condemns, neither he nor Mr. Clay
was ever an advocate; and the assertion that the
latter is the friend of it is at variance with the
truth.
