The weather, though little cooler, is most b,
tiful this having been one of the most cb0mD,
and delightful autumns have ever known Al a.
North---the soft and genial atmosphere resemuUr,
that Of our southern cities more than the stern M
chilling blast usually have at this season Of 4.
year. Our winter is already shorn of half is +.
rors.
Yesterday, our city, in life and animation, ssyety
and sou-surring music, resembled more our IA.
tional jubilee than 25th of November. WA
"evacuauon day." the commemoration of which
was more general and better observed than on sOr
previous day for many years. Indeed, the day i.
which the British evacuated the city of New York
and emb rled on board their transports 10 ,eave h,
ever city and land they had held in bonlnpe ar
years, should never be forgotten; but strange as N
may seem, some few have attempted to discourse.
its farther notice; and even some Of our military az
fcers, regret TO say, voted against turning GU, win
their commands. But some Of our more parriO,r.
democratic commanders, with the gallant GenepI
Storms at the head, took the matter in hand; and IN
result was one of the finest military DISPLAYS ws
have had in long while. General hiariy and
well might we all feel proud and happy for il vs
day that our fathers, who for seven long yesr
were exed from their homes, driven out Of he civ
as rebels to the king returned to their own fpsdes
again--FREEMEN.
In the procession, among many other interesting
objects, were several strophy cannon, y handsome
brass pieces, taken from the British, and uuha
with the names Saratoga, ""Princelon, ""Fnnk.
lin" Montgomery CORVALLIS" &c, &c Gen
Storms, who is State commssary general, took this
occasion 10 dedicate new building, which he has
designated as Trophy Hail." which is nearly
filed with guns and other implements Of de-
struction, flags, and the like, taken during our
struggle for independence, and the last war, front
the English. The ceremony was deeply inter.
resting; and many of our best citizens took Tsr|
In it---lncludmg our worthy and deseredly pop
uar mayor, who made short and pertinent ad-
dress on the OCCASION Everything passed Of we'll
and it will be a long while before another altemn
will be made TO give this truly national day the 60
by.
The address of the Rev. MIR. Spencer which
noticed in my last, has excited good deal Of alter
ton here and some amusement. The committee have
''sticks poked" at them from all quarters The
Evening Post in abiding to TO it, calls j, taking
hold of the hot endn--too hot, indeed, for Mr. FN
linghuysen's fingers.
Our common council men, anxious to emulate
some of our members of Congress, have been vols
themselves each little property--just to keep tar
payers in mind that such beings as aldermen exist
among us. The clerk of the common counci
was directed, by resolution, to purchase one copd
the Natural History of the State of New fort'
for each member thereof; which resolution was VI
toed by the mayorhe very justly arriving al ,hecr
clusion that If the aldermen were anxious to lncres
their stock Of knowledge of natural history they hi|
better supply themselves with the means, lhaaS|
draw the same from the city treasury. The mayo
perhaps, feared they might next vote themsel'SI
each hogshend OF sugar from his own warehous
IN Water street; or perhaps take unto themseIrc|
houses by resolution; and finally "rcsolye' soss|
Of the farms in the neighborhood into aldermanr
possessions. All this would be Just as proper aa
right, and Just, as approprating books to themss'S
But, Notwithstanding the veto and the severe eer
sure cast upon the majority by Alderman Pur'a
and few others, the ''resove" was again passed
and our citizens must fork up the books. loo
''schoomaster," who has been "abroad" 50 long
has probably just returned, and our aldermen 'r
about engaging him for their own improvement
Mayor Hayemeyer has taken the true democrats
ground, IN this veto message, that Legislative bosn
have no more right to appropriate property Of WI
citizens to their own individual use, than they mw
to march into the public exchequer, and take lhtr
from what gold and silver they can lay their hams
upon.
He has become deservedly popular, by his sild
attention to the duties of his Office, which are ~
times more arduous, trying, and severe thaa ua
OF governor OF any State IN the Union; ana wei
has he performed these duties. Nothing AZ
pears to escape his obscrvation--no injustice OF 81
ror in Legislation is committed with his consent "
TACT, he seems TO possess every requisite Tor s''
ernor of this great State and, from HIS ex'es
sive requirements and great practical knowledsee
the business resources and wants Of the STATE %
gether with his inhexibe democratic charace
many think it would be wise act of the party VI
elevate him to that position. With him, we shoua
not only have Polk-and-Da democratic gov
ernor, but a Texas-and-Oregon one too.
Governor Wright has, contrary to my expetr
tons, commuted the sentence Of the two anrrlp
ers, who were to be hung on the 29th Instant Y
that of imprisonment for life. hope it will PrG"|
the most judicious and wise course. No jury ss|
yet been obtained in this city for the trial oil rV.I
Bodine. Nine only have been secured out oil y
mel OF over l 200 and two weeks unremlttng sO~.
The season for balls and other winter ss@'
mens has now commenced; and, If any Of your y
izens become tired Of hearing speeches and 90
legislation, let them come here but for one wr'
and they shall have surfet Of anything they n \.
sire. The great "empire BALI comes of on "
29th. This bids fair for one of our gayed seasoul
and YET, amidst all this gayety, how much Possr'
