be given from her own manuscript.
The Locofooo Municipal Reform Meeting.
We certainly have never been favored with
more amusing specimen of the impudence OF any
set OF party politicians than that exhibited at Tam
many Hall last night The cool impudence OF the
bawd so felicrously described by that most saplent
of men, king Solomon, when he represented her as
wiping her mouth, and saying :" have done no
wickedness," was the height Of modesy, when
compared to this conduct of the locofocos OF New
York. Only think how have had locofoco
Mayor and Common Council for years past, laugh
ing rdculing, scouting with degree OF sang froid
of which they only capable, every idea OF mu-
nicIpal reform, and now having mad the discove-
nv that the great mass of the citizens having had
their eyes eifectualy opened, have organized for
mdable party for the purpose of sweeping these Ia
w. corrupt worthless municipal officers from their
seats at the Common Council board, and placing in
their stead hones, faithful. efficient public servants,
who will give us reform, they actually have the
impudence to come forward with a degree ct cool
ness almost incredible, and call public meeting,
pass resolutions violently in favor OF all sorts OF re-
form, and make long speeches, all running over
with defamation against the corruptens which
have prevailed, and the most solemn promises OF
immediate and full reform! Was there ano-
ther such specimen of the brazen efirontery of mi
SCRABBLE party politicians! The wings discovered a
good deal of brass at theirs meetng in National
Hall, but they may now well hide their dimished
heads when contrased with the politicians Of Tam
many Hall.
Just let us say one word ortwo more in exposure
Of this miserable, silly, impudent conduct OF the
locofoco party Have they not had the full power
in their hands during the last year of giving to the
city the reforms SO loudly demanded? Have they
made single isolated effort to do so? Not one.
Are not our streets fher than ever Are not the
taxeshgher Are not the abuses Of the police system
more gross and glazing than ever. And have this
mon Council not been reminded by the lndepend-
ent press again and again. and again. of the neces-
sity of variety of reforms! Have not, after
every one of their meetings, called on them to do
the eve of an election, they come out mount the
platform at Tammany Hall, with the Mayor in the
chair and protest. the face of heaven, that they
are ready to do anything for reform-that they
must and will give US reform--tBat they viii not
give rest to their eyes, sumber to their eye
lids, till they give us reform. And so jealous and
earnest are they that nothing will satisfy them but
the complete overthrow of the present constitution
III nd he
room of most magnificent fabric, under the su-
perintendence Of the Hon. Eli Moore, as architect,
and which looks almost grand and imposing on
paper, as the big map OF the new Jerusalem of the
Fourertes, to be at their hall in Grand
street, where Horace Greeley is accustomed to ex-
pound the doctrines of the Saviour of mankind.
But it is needless to expose farther this humbus
movement This two hours talking to Buncomb,
in Tammany Hall, will not divert the great mass
of the citizens of this metropolis, from their united
and energetic purpose OF achieving pal re-
form by the agency of new, upright, out-and-ou
practical reformers. These fair spoken reformers,
who come shouting now at the eleventh hour
"Here is reform-here is rcform!" even if they
were in earnest-which, Of course, no one is quite
silly enough to imagine-would deserverly expe.
rence the fate of the lying youth in the fable,
whose warning when the wolf really came was
entirely disregarded.
