Now all this IL certainly very curious. 1t certainly
requires some explanation from the individual whose
portrait Is given with such elaborate finish. The
whole thing furnishes chapter inthe history ofparty
journalism in this city, exceedingly interesting and
instructive
We mean to prosecute this subject OF investiga-
ton, and to enter fully into the history of the
paper press of this city for the last ten years. We
are intimately acquainted with the subject. We
will go into detailed examination Of the moral, po-
litca financial and literary character of the various
party journals We will show that free press in no
one sense of the word exists amongst the cigues of
faction, and that the only legitimate organ of the
people IS that journal which is entirely independent
OF all pary-all ciiques-al controlling influences,
political or nancia-a journalism such as that ex-
hbied in the Nc,o York Heraid-which utters the
sentiments of an intelligent people-embodies and
directs public opinion-and has circulation far ex-
ceeding that OF all the organs of party combined.
PoLIcE-CoMMoN COUNCIL, Nc-Both Boards
will meet this evening; and it is generally rumored,
will not agree the subject of the nomination, by
the Mayor, of a Superintendent of Police. We shall
not anticipate levil, nor make an indignant COM
mentary upon such course, until we shall have as
certained the result of this evenings elaboration
before the Board on this subject. We predicted the
introduction Of the spirit of clqaeisn that has
characterized the entire democratic party throughout
the Union, the present incumbcnts in the Common
Council, going into office. 1t is this spirit that
now operates, SO njuriousy to the public interests
SO dangerous to the community at large in this vast
metropois-and SO disgracefully to a party who are
so largely represented in the Board Of Common
Council, where there are only four Of opposite poll
tics. There is an old adage, "When requests out,
honest people will come by their own Unfortu-
