This plan was before the Common Council last
spring, and if carried out by the Legislature will

without any doubt, including all the spoils.
Well, we have no objections. The conduct OF
the wings in relation TO preventive police-to a
system Tor cleaning the streets-to the meat mono
poly-to the fire department-has been shuffling
and so datory, that it will be relief when they
shall be turned out OF office. What have the wings
done for the public SINCE by the skin of their teeth,
they came into powerl Absolutely nothing, but re-
duce the wages of few poor employees Have they
abolished the meat monopolyl No. Have they
established plan to keep the city clean? No Have
they recognized the Fire Department. and placed
il on paid and efficient system? No. Have they
established day and night preventive police, to
prevent the constant thes, rapes, murders and out
RACES committing? No. No. No. None of these
measures have been adopted. The Croton water is
running through the city, but instead of applying it
to keep the streets clean, some improved system,
It is only used TO spout up TO heaven in the Park,
and amuse the loafers and shrtless poets who con-
gregste in Park Row.
All the promises of the whigs in regard TO Corpor-
alton reform, have been abandoned. Every effort
is show and deception The wings of the Corpora
ton seem TO have followed the example of the
wings III Congress-to violate every pledge and
promise they made before the election. In such
position of things-with such example of dere-
LECTION OF duty-we do MT care how the wings
turned out of power in the city government.
The taxes constantly increasing, and nothing is
done for the reform G the police markets. Streets
or iremen. How long will such things last
CAPACITIES OF EDITORS of the small papers
reiteraies the somewhat ,re saying that TO edit
daily paper with success, requires larger amount
OF talent than any other literary labor, and then
fers to Noah as a specimen of finished editor.
We happen to know exactly the character and
talent of Major Noah, having been once associated
with him for five or six years in the Courier and
Enquirer. There is nothing more amusing to any
he, al, hao
The extravagant opinions expressed by some, rela-
tive to Noahs capacity for conducting q newspaper
with energy and atr1hy. Certainly, if we look at
the results OF his editorial management, and Judge
him by his own works we must entertain a very
different, and more correct idea iof his talents.
Noah has been connected with five or six papers
during his editorial career. Every one of them
broke down. Every paper with which he has been
connected died of rapid decline, except the few
instances in which he was got rid OF before that
fatal event could occur. Even now he is hard at
work in the same business OF newspaper assassina-
ton. Unless Beach can get rid of him, the Su,,, it
quite evident, must speedily set, and the Union go
to the tomb of all the Capulets.
Noah is one of the greatest pretenders ever con-
nected with a newspaper. He is destitute of erudi-
iion-his education was originally defective--his
uds DteH VI iflOSt utsuitory
he is as innocent as babe of the principles of po-
iitical economy, or the science of government He
is capable only of writing little paragraph, thea
irch notice, and pot-house puff; but for the ma
nagement OF heightened leading newspaper, he is
utterly incompetent. Even in matters of business
he is lamentahly deficient he knows little about
the management of pecuniary affairs as he does of
the Hebrew language, and really cannot understand
even the financial concerns of his own wardrobe.
II is truly amusing TO find such man imposing on
the amlable philosopher now at the head of the go
vernment-John Tyler-persuading him that he car
res the whole democratic party of New York in his
breeches pocket, and can manage them Just as he
pleases.
