Board, or one that always had one member OF
the opposite party ia N, would prove a mos.
whoie.omc reform, While it could not effect the
interest OF the party ia power. This opinion
we know, is eateraiaed by many Of ccr best
and most distinguished de,nocsats, as il would
make the officers of our public wotks honest and
careful ia their duties, which is Of vast import.
aoce TO our tax-cayers Bu; the idea cf impro
wing the Board by making it whig ia politics, il

mocrats aud one whg THIS, while it would
place the power ia the hands Of the democrats,
or the majority, when fairly exercised as efiee.
tualiy as if all three were democrats, would
at the same time be acting fairly, by giving the
minority representative Of their interests with
out the power Of doing any harm. We should

These are our candid opinions, and we are not a.

For these reasons we shalt support Morris
