 Some triAing excitement prevailed upon the very brink and margin of the land of liberty :, for an alderman had been elected the day be- fore; and Party Feeling naturally running rather high on such an exciting occasion, that the friends of the disappointed candidate had found 1t necessay 10 assert the great prin- ciples of Purity of Election and Freedom of Opinion, by breaking few legs and arms, and furthermore pursuing one obnoxious gentle man through the streets with the design of sitting hisnose. These good-humored little outbursts of the popular fancy were not in themselves sufficiently remarkable to create any great stir, after the lapse ofa whole night; butthey found fresh life and notorieny in the breath of the news-boys, who not only pro- claimed them with shrill yels in all the high
 ways and byeways of the town, upon the
 wharyes and among the shipping, but on the
 deck and down ill the cabins of the steam boat; which, before she touched the shore,
 was boarded and oycrrun by legions of those young citizens.
