New-York daily tribune., 1843-11-15
NJ We thought we knew thing or two about

that the Watchmen of our City are numerous
and active body, and can call out great many
votes Their pay has been 81 IL per night ,'i
the Summer and 81 25 for the Winter Months
Like Oliver Twist, they very naturally v,' wan
some more and they fancied the eve OF 'ne O''e-
ton was the nick of time to secure H. ney are ho"
all Locos-the Wings having been turned out
last sprng-and they walked into the Council
for an increase. The two Boards, Just before the
Election, passed bills not Only increasing their
nav for the future to 81 25 per day all the year
round, but giuing them the same price from the
lOtA of May last-in effect, taking some $4,000
ous of the City Treasury in payment of a thou
sand Loco Foco electioneerers at the Polls. This
was just what they wanted, and they jumped to
the work like hearty boys and helped to elect
nearly the entire regular ticket against all pro-
! ba abilitv. Now the Election is over, and they
walk up to the Captains Office for the considera-
ton aforesaid. But here they catch left-hand-
er right in the mouth-the Mayor has oetoed
their bill, as they heard for the first time on
Monday evening! So they have got their labor
for their palms, and grim laugh on the wrong
side of their countenances.
If there is any peddler of horn falnts or bass

wells, we advise him to come down here and spend
term around Tammany and our City Hail. ne
would soon discover that he does not yet know
his a B Cs. Should he venture to neglect tins
caution, and fail in with any of our runaway City
officials on his rounds he will inevitably be
skinned alive.
COLONIZATION Soc1ErY.-The President of the
Colonization Society in speaking Of the late trans
mission of colonists and goods to Africa, makes
to send out still larger quantity Of goods. Two
thousand dollars worth went out in the Latrobe
that has Just started for Africa, and they wish in
fifteen days to send $4,000 more. The President
shows the Importance Of occupying the African
coast with colonies under our jurisdiction. The
occupancy of Garroway by the French, he thinks
to he strong inducement to us to bestr our
Selves as it exhibits foreign policy respecting the
west coast of Africa. If the English and French
extend heirsettlements for few years asthey are
now extending them, they will possess the trade
Of the entire coast, and the commerce which is
now worth to us million annually will be taken
out of our hands.
Under these considerations and the present
lack of funds, he calls upon the public for assist
ance. AT the close of his letter he says:
In the present emergency donations provisions groce-
es, dry goods, Sc will be thankfully received and will
essentially aid the society in accomplishing its important
purposes All such articles, and donations in money may
be sent TO tue Colonization Rooms 42 Nassau street. or to
the of Messrs Phelps Dodge Co., of Fulton
and Cliff streets And we earnestly request that all
friends will lend helping hand and without waiting
be called upon will send in whatever they may be dis
posed 10 contribute.
RIGHTS OF SUFFRAGE IN Omo.-The Village
Register, Salem, Ohio, gives an account of de-
cision on the right of suffrage, in the court of
! that county:
"A ,araed West township, In this county,
dark complexion and apparently somewhat mixed with
African blood permitted poll s42 and
had sued the judges Of the Election 1t appeared in ev
deuce that his father wac white man. and his mother
mulatto The counsel for the plaintiff showed that the de-
cson OF Supreme Court Of Ohio recognized the right Of all
persons than halt ch all the rights of citizenship
1t was admitted on the side of the defendants that the pre-
sumption should always be, that applicant the polls
entitled till the contrary made qppear
yet the decision Of the jury that there no cause for

According to this it becomes the citizens of
Ohio to wear white compilations, for it may be
difficult to prooe in all cases ones white origin,
even though his blood may be as immaculate as
the purest. Such decisions render ridiculous the
court that pronounces them, rather perhaps the
jury that makes them.
MADISON CouNry.-The following is the vote
in Madison County Loco Focos BIT, Wings
l847, Third Party, 1862. Thus it will be seen
that the Loco-Foco plurality over the Wing vote
is 1880, while the Wing and Third Party CON-
