This is Just what we expected from the energetic,
honest, and patriotic character of Mr. Collins, and
il may have good effect all aspirants for office
at this juncure. This is certainly of the
greatest movements Of political kind which ever
took place in New York.
Progress of the spring Revoiution-"Young
America" still In motion.
During the last few days several ward meetings
of the American Republican party have been held,
at which new points in relation TO the necessary
reforms in the administration of public affairs
were taken up and discussed by the orators, and
many new 'hits" made against the corruptons
and gross Encouragement Of both the old parties.
Every day adds to the power and impulse of thus
great movement, which will undoubtedly termi-
nate in April next with a complete revolution in
this city. We have already stated that the Third
and Fifth Wards have nominated their delegates
for the Mayora:y Convention, and the men select
ed are just the right sort of men to give us one OF
the very best candidates ever presented to the
people of this city. Amongst them we perceive
Mr. Cozzens, the respected proprietor of the Anne
rican Hotel-a thorough going old republican of
the best days of republicanism before corruption
and folly began to preside a, Tammany Hall
In the mean time, while "Young America" is
thus going day by day, and night by night
gaining ground and votes at every step, are
sorry to perceive that the sold hunkers' amongst
the wings getting particularly uneasy-ou OF
temper-distressed at something in the amos-
phere-annoyed at the signs of the times-troubled
In spirit, and low in pocket, to a most alarming
and melancholy extent. Our highly respected,
amlabe and philosophc cotemporary-the Fourier
WING organ, the Tribune, is out yesterday with
little, snappish, lachiymose, peevish, whimpering
paragraph, which is so expressive of the uncom-
Portable feelings of the "organ," and so anu
sing wlihal, that we may as well give it at full
length: -

2,h Ward" has the GOODNESS to talk to us about Ma
tvism helping The wing party! We had enough Of that
hello last FALL and would rather have any more We
don't know any better way of helping the wing party
than by advocating its principles and voting for its cand
dates. Voting opposing ticket seems very crooked
way Of helping it.
Finally impuden correspondent demands that
apologize for anti American sentiment" or he
will stop taking The Tribune! If he will only give
his will him the trouble of stopping by an
order to our carrier
This paragraph is exceedingly significant of the
change now going in this city That one short

obvious, also, from the complexion Of the remarks
how uneasy the Fourier section Of the wings feel
They appear to be almost IN as great quandary
of distress, at the appearance presented by "Youns
America" as at the consequences which have beer
produced by their own lecturng on the Fourie,
system throughout the country. If, however, they
should be disappointed in the result of the election
they nave always place OF reiuge-an asylum OF
the beautiful margin of Skeneateles Lake-wher,
the principles which they have so industrousl,

John A. Collins, in the most uxurant and phloso

further remark until we see the account to be pre-
sented against the native organs
