delegates to u county convention, to assemble IN
this city on the first Monday Of July next, for the
purpose OF amending the present, and forming an
entirely new, city chaltor, is to be held to-day.
The amendments, or new charter, are to be SUBJ
mitted to the people at the election to be held in
this city on the first Tuesday of November next
In case a majority Of votes cast in favor of
the new charter, il will be submitted to the Legis-
laure at its next session, and, ii approved by that
body, will become the charter Of New York.
There is variety Of objections to the present
charter. The principal one Is the unequal
representation which it grants in the Common
Council, giving to the smallest ward as many Al
dermen as the largest. The reform would be TO
make the representation proportional to popu-
laton Of each ward Another objection is the
taking out oft hands Of the people, and giving
to the Mayor and Aldermen, the appointment of
the heads Of the city Departments.
The following is the list of candidates, SO far as
they have been made public The vote will,
without doubt, be in about the same proportion,
