Organization of the New city Council.

The members of the new Common Council were
installed into Office yesterday and both branches
organized The new Mayor entered upon the du-
ties OF his Office and delivered his message which
is very full, and touches upon all the important
matters connected with the government of the
city.
We gave, IN our afternoon editions of yesterday,
the message in FULL and the proceedings of both
Boards Of the Council, all of which will be found
in another part of our paper this morning. The
proceedings were characterized by gentemanly
demeanor on the part of every member, and none
of those dsgraceful scenes were enacted in the
Board of Assistant Aldermen, which reflected so
much against the dignity of that body at the at
tempted organization OF the late Board.
They have now fully entered upon their duties,
and we hope they will act, in all their proceedings,
with an eye to the interests of the city, and espe-
cally adopt such measures as will reduce the
onerous taxation under which the people now la
Dor. They have made many, promises, and are
expected to fulfil them.

ed this feeling from coming sooner to head, even
those early days, but the overpowering influence
of the opposite idea, which prevailed In the Anne
ncan mind, namely, the idea of increasing the
boundary and charging the power and extent, at
home and abroad, of the republic. But, whenever
not occupied with some great scheme of annexa-
ton, or conquest or increase Of power, the public
mind falls back upon this question of slavery, or
American socialism, as it may be called.
1t is now twelve or fifteen years since socialism,
including anti-slavery, first made Its appearance,
and put forth its first efforts to awaken the public
mind upon this side of the Atlantic and in the
Northern States. At first, Its attempts were con-
fined TO barren conventions, empty speeches, and
ridiculous publications. But skilful and intriguing
men soon saw that this feeling might be organized
and employed as an instrument of political action
Hence the result in this day and during the last
eight years, in presidential and other elections
This feeling has now been increased by other in
fluences, till it has acquired such power over the
public mind, to throw the two old political fac
tons INTO state Of utter dissolution and decompo-
siton. Such is the result of the influence of Anne
rican socialism, applied to this particular point and
institution
The new administration, therefore, of General
Taylor, will be left without party, IN consequence
of the destruction and generalization of both the
great parties, sprnging out of the agitation of Sec
tional disputes, which were, with great foresight,
deprecated by Washington in his farewell address
There will be, therefore, little or no alteration
made Of the sub-treasury or of the tariff; nor can
any other measure proposition be carried through
which possesses any distinctive character affecting
national affairs Yet, General Taylor and his adj
mnstration will have great and important duty
to perform. The disorganization of both the great
parties, and the agitation, out of Congress- of those
disturbing questions which we have referred to,
will bring about state of things most dangerous
Is the Union. Probably it is to the great conf
dence which the people generally entertain in the
President, and in his frmness and integrity, that
we may owe the happiness of escaping the dangers
which threaten us with consequences more fearful
than ever yet have taken place in all the past his
tory of our politics

aggregate movement has largely increased but this
is the season for expansion in exchange operations
growing out of the movements of the staple products
of that section of the country Sometime since large
shipments Of specie made from this port to Charles

supply in tho banks consequently reduced The effect
Of this movement Of specie into and of the banks Of
Charleston, have not been able to discover Il has
doubtless enabled them to make good exhibit of their
affairs for or two months, and perhaps to increase
their circulation, without crowding public confidence
hard; but if they cannot keep it, they will find
themselves in a much position than as though
they had ain aimed their former line. Nearly ovcry
steamer from Charleston brings forty fifty thousand
dollars in specie, most Of which is drawn from tn,
banks and are instruments In payment for the heavy
remttanccs from this city If this continues.

Of movement cxhibted but there is contractedness
in tho policy pursued by the managers Of these nst

and progress Of city depend great deal upon the

upon judicious employment Of the capital concentra-

The further confederation of the appointment of

casting about for a compromise candidate and John
NJ Butterworth is suggested as the best man to heal
the breach now existing in regard to that Office Mr.
Butterworth is not candidate and we apprehend that
his friends have spoken too late.
Mr. Secretary Meredith would prefer, also, compro
mise candidate for the ectorship at Philadelphia
Notwithstanding these movements of Mr.. Meredith
