]. q. BENNETT, ESQ -
While ! am cogitatlng on the materials for an
epsile to the cosmopohte paper OF the age, the big
guns are pouring forth their thunder of rejoicing on
the occasion OF the election of Thomas A. Davis,
the "natve" candidate for Mayor. The deed was
done yesterday, and thus it was accomplished.
There had been seven unsuccessful trials, and upon
each OCCASION there were "naive," demo-
cratic, and one or two whig candidates; but yes
terday there was no democratic candidate, the
bel-weathers of the flock having all bolted off to
Washington, to secure their standing with the in
coming administration. The party being thus left
like "a church without bishop, state without
king" concluded not TO put up candidate to take
the democratic votes, and the consequence was,
that the demos who turned out, divided their SUI
frages about equally between the whIg, Parker and
the native, Davis Some three hundred votes were
scattered for Tom, Dick, and Harry, and PAWS
got about l40 majority over all.
The straight backed orthodox have thus tr-
umphed, and as an appropriate method of celebra-
ting the victory, the blue lights held er tempo
prayer meetings last night at the various convenii-
cles. The registering wings are dreadfully cha
grined at the result, and are already mourning over
The prospect OF having their drinking haunts shut
up, and their crack stables closed on Sundays
They say, they had thousand times rather have
"brother Davis" but yet when they had chance
to choose him, the obstinate party goats wouldn't
toucb to- as the old ladies say. Truly they have
brought their punishment upon themselves, and
Tor one, don't care snap If they 60 dry for a week
OF Sundays, or have to travel out to the Norfolk
House on foot
There is to be grand native evee at Faneuil
Hall on Monday evening, the 24h, in honor Of the
birth day OF Washington, and for lack of any gem
uine natlves of the Sacs or Foxes, the Assinboins
or the Flat Heads, for guests, the committee of
rangements have invited Governor Briggs of this
State, and Mayor Harper of your city, TO be pre-
sent, and astonish the natives. Governor Briggs
may deem 1t polite to attend in order to WOO back
the refractory natives into the whig ranks, bat
doubt very much whether your worthy Mayor
will be present, tor l know him to be opposed to
all balls and other such carnal vanities. The re-
cent triumphant result OF the election in this city
will doubtless make the ffte 60 of with great <clat,
and the supper WILL it is said be splendid affair,
It being under the direction OF one Ford distin-
guished native" caterer of Green Turtle Soup.
He, by the way, will probably be elected soup
master in ordinary to the new board OF native al
dermen.
Tne locos are getting up an Inauguration Ball
at Faneuil Hall, tor the evening of the 4th of
March, and mean to have a good time. The tick
cts are dos cheap, being fixed at the truly demo-
cratic price of three dollars. suppose there will
be great jam of the bone and muscle" of the
community. and large sprinkling of pretty
girls. There is funny story current here about
he said ball, which as it shows how the wires
IRE pulled, | think ! will tell you. There was
Wright and the aforesaid Ford, for the job Of
decorating the hall, providing the music, supper,
Nc., and they were each called upon to bring in
proposals, by the committee. of arrangements.
Wright three dollars, and both promised to do all
hat could be required. Notwithstanding Wrght's
vas the highest bid, he got the contract, and they
10 say that the reason he got it was because he
threatened to blow the democratic party Of Bos-
Ton to h-ll,"if the job was not given to him. So
il seems that the democracie are TO pay only fifty
cents ahead, merely for the privilege of not being
olowed to hill by the man OF knives and forks!
cheap, ant II!
The streets OF this city are in a most terrible
tate OF chaos about these days, and carriage II
ling Is worth nifty per cent. premium al the Life
Offices Even the dead came in for q share of the
rouble, Notwithstanding the commonly received
pnon that the troubles Of earth end with life for
was only the other day that hearse was upset in
pne of the most public streets, while eding to
he burial place. II is said that several very res
ectable corpses awaiting better srate OF ira
elllng before they are launched their final pas
age.
To advert to kindred subject the Whig Office
holders in the Custom House OF this city, are i'm
atiently awaiting the day OF their death and burial
lpon the advent OF the new administration. There
re some old codgers among them who have had
lmost life lease of their Offices, and others who
nave been in since the day of Harrison, whose only
recommendation was their paupersm and unfitness
or anything else Public opinion seems TO be pref
Y unanimous that all such will have to "walk the
,lank," as there are great many lusty Polk and
DALLAS men, who are fired with a generous ambi-
on 10 devote their time to the service of Uncle
sam. The quds here chuck full Of specula-
to the new Cabinet, and eagerly suck in
very morsel OF intelligence that they CLEAN from
ne Southern papers. Now 1t is Morton, now Ban
roft, now Henshaw. and anon Rantoul. who is to
go I'M from Massachusetts, pretty much the pre-
erences Of the aforesaid guilds may lead them. From
aIiousreasons which itwoudb be cumbersome to in
let upon you, incline to the opinion that nobody
rom Massachusetts will crook his legs under Mr..
'olk's executive mahogany, and more especially as
ne incumbent oftheT Treasury chair Your oldfriend,
Comptroller Flagg, of New York, is destined for
Iat place, ! learn from private advices. and from
ae same source hear that New Hampshire man
ill take the Navy Department. In confirmation
t this latter statement, i would inform you that
Gov. Hubbard, OF New Hampshire, has gone on
Washington, with his family within few days,
nd the Governor is not man who makes a jour
.ey without some certain object to call for IT. ]
10 not think him one who would journey to WASH
ngton to seek an office, and his patriotism is not
/ that jubant character which would prompt him
visit the capital to attend the inauguration. But
nous retroas, as the patriarch Ritchle once said
We TO have mammoth hotel here in Bos-
on within short time-something that will eclipse
ne Astor, United States, fremont or any other
.rst chop house in the Atlantic cities, and run
leck and neck with the famous st. Charles at New
orleans. The Company was incorporated by the
'gisIature some two or three years ago, under the
anne OF the Columbian Hotel, but they could not
;et hold OF the site they then fixed upon and so let
ne project slumber. The election of Polk, or
ONE other equally ruinous measure, has revived
ne plan this year, and now the projectors ere all
gog to commence. A very extensive tract has
secure upon fremont street, nearly opposite
the Common, and extending down Broomhed
rect TO the Marlboro Chapel Washington
,iree but there is some talk OF taking in that pro-
erty also, together with the Marlboro Hotel also,
n which case the new hotel will cover some three
" four acres OF ground and front on three of the
uos trequented thoroughfares Of the city. Aston
hing as this plan may appear, IT is yet thought by
good judges that the undertaking will be prohta-
lie one, as, Notwithstanding the many good houses
se now have in the city, there is great and con-
,tantly increasing demand for more accom- moda-
IONS for the travelling public. The many railroads
