the Municipal Election.

city on Tuesday week next, Is one OF tine most I'M
portant that has been held Tor years.
This election is great, honest, and powerful
popular effort to get city reform in opposition to
the corrupt hordes and shackles of the two old
parties 1t does not involve the fate or fortune OF
either Mr.. Van Buren, or Mr.. Clay, and we trust
that all party ties may be laid aside, for one day al
least, in order to get good city government
To the candidates presented by the wings OF TIC
democrats, as Mayor, or other ofhcers' ." '"e
personal merits. we have every feeling OF regard
and estesn There is Mr.. Coddineton-where
could he found better mani There's Mr. FRANK
iin-pood too. Yet as they represent nothing but
tb. old corrupt, cheating, deceiving factions, we
hone thew may be defeated for once-and the re-
form party may succeed. But in doing this, we by
no means approve OF all the bad and bitter feeling
EXPRESSED by many Of the reform party, or "na-
tiyes" towards the Catholics, as religion, the
Irish, as class, but yet, with all their faults, we
believe every good citizen will try them for one
year, merely for the purpose Of getting city reform
In all its branches.
The old and corrupt politicians among the wings
and democrats will cry out ''party-party
in order to deceive the people, but we really hope
that for once in half century, the people Of New
York will break, like pipe stems, all those dirty
party trammels that keep them from city reform In
all branches Of the municipal government. Now is
the time. Let il be tried Let the untrainmelled
friends of both Van Buren, and Clay, come out
against the old shackles, and go at once for re-
form-re orm-reform. That is the word.
R1DlcuLous MOVEMENT OF THE WHlGs.-We
find in the Fourier organ Of yesterday the follow
ing cry for grand rally of the whigs:-
II - he Crafi n
Wing Young Men Of the City and County of New York,
invited TO rally at National Hail. Canal street. on
Thursday Evening" March 2Sh at half PAST seven O'Clock
to respond 10 the nomination OF
MORRIS FRANKLIN for Mayor,
The Mechanics and Working Men of the City and Coun
ty especially invited to attend and lend their aid to the
election Of the mechanics friend. Several speakers OF
distinction will be present and addrt SIS the meeting
By order of the Democratic Wing Young Mems Gene
DAVID GRAHAM, Chairman.

This is "A very silly and ridiculous thing. Here
are all the sensible people of this city, belonging to
all parties determined at the ensuing municipal
election to take that side which will most readily
and certainly lead to reform in all branches of the
city government Every is convinced OF the
csssity Of reform, and none more so than the
wings, and yet we the "young wings" as they
are called, summoned to attend meeting in Ma
tionai Hall, to rally round candidate for the May
orally and Corporation officers, whose election is
perfectly hopeless, The only result which is likely
70 follow such meeting, is the increase OF the
chances in favor of the return of the present worth
less and Inefficient officials to power-thc officials
of the party who have refused all REFORM and with
unparalleled impudence come forth at the eleventh
hour with proposition to alter the city charter.
Now, the city charter is well enough. All we want
is honesty and efficiency in the administration of
the city government as it is.
Yet IN such state of things, with the prospect
OF an Independent, unshackled, new and vigorous
party, with honest and interrupted mem at Its
head carving the city at the next election, we
See the wings called out in order to drive on the
forces OF the reform movement which ought all to
be concentrated on such man as James Harper,
and those who will give city reform. We hope
and trust that if there are any of the young
wings who have common sense, they will stay
away from any such meeting as that TO be convened
In National Hall Let them attend the "great
CITY reform mass meeting" to be held in the after
noon of the same day, Thursday, at two o'clock,
IN Wall street, and swell the ranks of the reform
party Do not let any be imposed upon by
humbug appeals about the Presidential contest
THIS spring election has nothing to do with it.
And if it had, are the intelligent citizens of New
York to be humbugged into utter disregard of their
own immediate interests by clap-trap speeches
about the "interests of the party!" This is the
way, indeed, in which for years past the attention
of the people Of this city has been diverted from
their own interests. A tremendous hue and cry
has been raised about the immense influence of
the New York municipal election, on the Presi-
dental canvass and the consequence has been that
a. t,o,,. b.a OF
in the back ground, and lazy, worthless, corrupt,
and ignorant men have been elected to office in the
Corporation. Let this game be stopped this time.
But in reality the approaching election has nousht
to DO by any possibility with the question OF the
Presidency. Men of both parties-thc friends Of
both Clay and Van Buren,, are uniting in the re-
form movement. Ii is purely question OF loca!
government As such let it be universally regard
ed And, oxce for all, let the effort be made to
obtain Corporation who will give clean streets,
low taxes, good police, and Just, energetic, and
efficient government.
