HE WHIGs our OF OFFICE AND THE WHO'S IN
OFFfcE.--When the wings Of New York are out
of power, they eterDally cry out against the
waste, extravaganza and abuses of the demo-
Gratis, their corruption and their mismanagemen
Of the public funds, and are eloquent on the re-
forms and economy which they would introduce,
il the good people would only try them. There
never was time when these proteslations were
uttered in a louder tone, through their organs,
and by their orators in their ward and county
meetings than for about month or six weeks
previous to the last charter election.
The public were aware Of all the corruptions
they charged against the democrats, but they
doubted whether the wings would be q whit
more honest II they were in power. They were
taught by sad experience to place the two parti,s
on a par regarding corruption, and were very
much Inclined to doub! the sincerity with which
they promised to refo rm all abuses Neverthe-
less, as they had not been in Office for Ions
time, and as the nominations Of the democrats
did not exactly pleasc them, they thought it ad.
viaabc to try the wings once more. on the pro
mise distinctly given, that If they were elected
tasy would reduce the rate of taxation, have ths
tf,,,s cleAa,d BY coatr ct at the cheapest rate

The Hibernia goes to Boston, the Philadel-

probability is, that the Philadelphia will be the
FIRST to arrive; then the Washington; then the
Hibernia; and then the Guadaquiver. It is sup
posed that the Washington sailed from South
ampton about the 18th instant, and We have,
therefore set her down al that date.
The-arrival Of this fleet of ocean steamers, is
looked for with no little interest; every one is,

possible, and in fine, reform all the abuses which
they charged against the democrats
And how were these promises performed
They have not been performed at al, neither
have We any prospect dat they will be correct
ed in the slightest degree To be sure they
talk occasionally Of clenans the streets by con-
tract. but IL amounts 70 nothing. While ihey
are talking. the time for which they were elect
ed is rapidly passing away, and before any thing
e6ecual will be done, providing they have
any intention TO fulfil their promises, the
nv, charter election will be at hand, and
| !, will he TOO late. We must acknowledge
that the wings have done something since they
came into power, and we are not disposed TO de-
prive them of any Of the credit they are entitled
to for il, They have made war upon the poor
apple women, and driven many poor creature
to the Aims House, who supported her children
by attending her stand from sunrise to sunset
They passed an ordinance compelling the store
keepers in Broadway TO take down their awnings
and when the posts were levelled to the ground
they passed an ordinance allowing them to be
erected again. We must stop here, for We really
cannot bring TO our mind any thing else they
have done. What they have not done, the
grunters who dispute the possession Of
Broadway will witness. These animals
have more license this year, than they
ever had under the Huge Paws. Dogs are
plentiful in every street and alley in the city
the streets are as dirty as they ever were-and to
crown all there is no doubt that our taxes will be
higher than they ever were. And be it remem-
bered at the right time, that all this is occurring
under party which gave the most solemn
pledges to reform the abuses of the democrats
the abuses which they now practise them
selves.
We have invariably argued that no reiorma-
ton OF abuses in the city government need be
expected from either the wings, democrats or
natives These parties are led and controlled
by wire pullers, who care nothing about the IN
terests of the cty-all they want is office and to
obtain il they will humbug the public to their
hearts content. Let our tax payers, even at the
eleventh hour, encourage the formation OF
city reform party, composed of men of all par
ties, known to be honest and true, and electthem
next year. Ifthey do SO, we satisfied that all
abuses will be corrected, and the taxes hand
somely reduced.
