In addition to this the waste Of money in the
tracts for sewers, about the cholera in this city,
and in every other way, is beyond anything that
has ever characterised the history of New York, or
that of any other metropolis this continent, or
in Europe II a waste of the money raised by pub
tic taxes entities the wing party to continuance
of power, then indeed the present authorities have
Just chin to reelection. We demur to the pay
ment of taxes to the Corporation, and taxes to the
Wing Committee, in the same category.
In other respects, wing principles have been,
during the present year, equally inefficient and de-
plorable. Every one remembers the famous aboli-
ton riots which were got up few years ago, during
which one or TIVE churches were burned, and the
houses OF the abhtionists threatened. The city
authorities of that day called the military to their
assistance, commanded by General George p.
Morris; and by the exercise of prudence, discre-
ton and energy, much more fearful riot than any
which we have since seen, was quietedand quelled
without the sacrifice of twenty-five innocent per-
/ cone ,ilad ond Eftv- fcur wounded MOI LONGER
ago than four years, on the failure Of the Plain
field Bank, when the building from which the shin
plasters of that concern were atrociously palmed
off by knavish fin ancers, crednlous COM
munity, crowds renamed collected for near
ly fory.eieht hours, night and day, threat
ening to burn or tear down the building from
which those william and atrocous receptions,
called Plainfeld Bank notes, were issued, the
Mayor Of that day, Mr.. Mickle, with an energy
and prudence highly commendable, aud with
remarkable good sense and sagacity. auistea 'ha.

cheats, without, any resort to the miltary-wl,hsut
any shooting down Of twenty five innocent persons.

streets. Under the present wing authorities, how

two eminent butmpudent playactors, permitted, by

into terrible and bloody massacre, which has
created establishment and wonder throughout the
civilized world. This is, certainly, one of the
wing principles in action, directed to the main
tnance of order in this city, which, however, we
do not wish 10 see in operation again in this metro
polis. Yet il seems that that most shocking affair

Itmust es,onish, ell az strike with horror the
people Of this metropolis, to find that that
sary and uncaled for massacre Of twenty-five
persons, growing ont Of n contemplate theatrical

value and rice Of American stocks in London.
and be a subject of exulistion to the agents Of
fnsne,ers on The other side Of the Atlantic -
This is the fret time that the she iding OF human
blood. without necessity aud without suflicien
cause. has been considered an excellent ADVERTISED
ment to the capitalists OF the Old World-that they
might put their money under the guardianship o.
the capitalists Of Wall street.
Such are some Of the whig principles Of the pre-
rent city authorities, earned into action. and for
the continuance Of which Mr.. Rob Roy Haws
commences leyying black.nail, to furnish the
tinews Of war for the coming election We demur
to the payment Of the ten dollars. We don, think
that the price Of American stocks, Of "penusylvs-
MIA Sc, and "thousand dollar bonds with coupons
attached" depends upon the massacre Of twenty
FIVE human beings in the public streets Of a
Christian city. We don't think that the Mayor,
ard the men. and the principle that encour-
