ORGANIZATION OF THE CRY GOVERNMENT FOR lS43.
The new Common Council for 1913, meet for the
purpose Of organization, this day at II o'cock-and
Immediately thereafter proceed to remove all the
present office-holders, and to appoint new ones
The aggregate amount Of officials of all kinds
that will be removed and appointed are probably
about one thousand, with gross salaries equal to mil
lion OF dollars per annum This is the largest guam
tty of "spoils' that any single Corporation, either
State or City, has the control of in any part of the
country. The number of applicants for these Offices
are probably 5000 persons. If we include the
wives and families of these applicants, the number
of men, women and children, waiting in anxious
expectation OF the action of the Corporation, will
swell TO 10000 living beings, besides much cattle,
embracing horses, dogs, cats and rats.
There will be terrible excitement and commo-
ton throughout the city, and especially in the Park,
around the City Hall, among at least 100000 human
beings, which includes those unforrunates that will
be turned out-those that will be turned inland
those that will be disappointed. The greater por-
tI0n the hav dv hoo,
and agreed upon in caucus, but their names have
only been guessed at as yet except Jem Grant, No.

What singular scene is here presented this day
in New York! how mournful an exhibition of erring
human nature how melancholy and ludicrous it
presents the conduct of immortal beings Because
one set of men think otener and better of certain
person called Henry Clay, who mends fences in
Kentucky, than of another certain person called
Martin Van Buren,. who raises cabbages in Kinder
hook, the former are deprived Of their pttance OF
bread and cheese and the latter receive it with open
and hungry mouths 1t is complete and radical
revolution in peaceable way, for the complexion
of ones opinion. After the division shall! have
been made, what wailing and weeping-what
cursipg and swearing there will be among the dsap-
polnted Heaven forgive them, for they know not
what they do.
Nota Bene.-The evening edition of the HERALD
will contain list Of those appointed, up to the hour
of publication, at o'clock. So look out.
PRESIDENTIAL MovEMENrs-Mr. VAN BUREN's Po-
sITIoN-A very important movement has recently
been made by the general committee of Tammany
Hail. declaring itself in favor of Mr.. Van Buren, for
the next Presidency, and defining his position in the
approaching convention, to be held in November,
1913, or May, 1914. Here are the resolutions
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN GENERAL COM
MITTEE.
At regular meeting of the Democratic Republican
General Committee held at Tammany Hall on Thursday
evening, the 4th May, ls43, it was
Resolved That this committee cordially respond to the
sentiments contained the recent address of the Demo
cratic members OF the Legislature and that they regard
the true and faithful exposition of the prnci
pies and preferences OF the party Of this State
Resolved, That this committee, while they will cheer
fully support such individual shall be designated by
the National Convention for the Office of President of the
United States, do hereby distinctly and unequvocally
express their preference for MARTIN VAN BUREN, the
candidate to be supported for that station an thew have
full confidence that in the National Convention to be cal.
led for the selection ofcandidates the distinguished claims
of our iustrous ellowctzen to be again elevated to
that position recently filled by him, with honor to him
self and usefulness to his country will be acknowledged
and acquesced in.
Resolved That this committee deem subject
to be left to the discretion of the State Convention well
TO designate the time Of holding the National
for the nomination of candidates for the Offices OF Pres
dent aud Vice President Of the United States
scribe the msde Of selecting delegates thereto this
mttee fully believing that that body will possess the
disposition and ability to determine the such
shall be most conducive to the harmony Of the
democratic party, and the triumph Of its principles
ing one Of the Cardinal principles of penocrscy and be-
leve that tariff for protection conflicts with the interests
''N 8 W. V W ABRAHAM HATFIELD, Chairman.
GEO. Gao, H. L r Usa.s.' Secretaries.
It will be perceived from this declaration that the
friends OF Mr.. Van Buren, have abandoned all their
own ground, and taken up secure position on the
platform OF Mr.. Calhoun. The recognition OF "ree
trade" as "principle of democracy" or in Other
WORDS =" a revenue tariff" is precisely the point in
sisted upon by South Carolina. So also in regard
TO the mode and time of holding the National Con.
venton.
BY this movement, Mr.. Van Buren, intends 10
give Mr.. Calhoun no ground OF complant-no ex-
elusive topic OF agitation. The whole contest will
now be reduced to a question OF persons between
Van Buren, and Calhoun-for there is no difference
in principle. II is true there three other candi-
dates-Buchanan, Cass, and Johnson but these
latter nominal, unless there should be such d.
vision between Calhoun and Van Buren, as to pro.
duce union on some third man. In that case, Ge-
neral Cass has the best chancellor as to Captain
Tyler, we do not see that he is thought of at ALL
fKNNIMoRE COOPER persus WATSON WEBB-We
learn that Watson Webb has gone again to Otsego,
or Whereabouts, TO be tried on the old Indictment
brought against him by Fennmore Cooper.
II ever an editor belled an auhor Webb belled
Cooper-yet we never thought that Cooper was in.
ured by the rlbaldry Of Webb and we would think
more highly of Fennimore, if he had trusted to tn,
moral eminence OF his name and character than I,
