II is well known fact that the Auburn is one Of
the fastest saiers out of this port. She has made
the passage hence to the Balize in nine days. and
from city to city in ten days, beating the mail
at the time. The Saratoga is capital ship, but
we know the Auburn too well to suppose tina,
she is easily to be beaten. She may be equaled
by the Saratoga but never surpassed

EA:Alderman starts off to Washington armed with
the important document, apparently expressing the
unanimous endorsement Of the Democracy of the
city of New York.
Now the truth is Ex-Alderma Purdys influence
in this city amongst his own party is extremely Ii
mited. The best possible proof of this is the tact
that at this very moment when the Mayoralty-the
great object OF his ambition for years past-is open
he cannot muster the smallest influence in the way
Of obtaining the nomination. He is one Of those
nae who have always been hanging on the skirts
OF the party, living it, but bringing nothing it
in return With respect to qualifications for the
CoIIectoiship he is entirely deficient. The present
incumbent on the contrary, is a man eminently
qualified for the office. His decisions uniformly
give satisfaction, and as member Of the demo-
cratic party he is not identified with any of the
cliques of til city occupying position Of lofty and
honest independence.
We have now enabled our readers at a distance
to estimate at their proper value the endorsements
Of Mr.. Purdy (which have been SO industriousy
paraded before the public. Every body who
knows what is passing behind the scenes here, is
laughing at the whole business. The melancholy
part of the affair is. that the score two of poor
devils who have been seduced by the promises Of
bland, good-natured, pleasant "Old Ironsides' are
so certain of his success that they are wasting in
idleness that precious time which might be profit.
