A New PHASE IN OUR CRY PoLITIcs.-For some
time past, a secret movement has been going on
among certain members Of the Common Council,
to establish the wing party Of this city the plat
form of Sewardism, with what view is best known
to themselves. II has shown itself particularly
prominent in the appointment Of persons to Office
under their patronage. When an application is made,
. Sewardite is always ready to refer IL TO a com
mittee, not that the general proprety of the APP
poniment is doubted but that time may be had TO en-
qure into all the views of the office-ss eker touch
ing the great question OF the day, OF, in other
words, whether or not he is in favor of all the views
and principles advocated and put forth by Will
liam III. Seward, an acquescence in which obtains
for him at once the promise OF favorable consdera-
ton Of his application.
II has happened that one Of these committees
was not composed OF the right material for the
would-be rulers Of the wing party, and consdera-
bic difficulty has occurred in consequence. A de-
termination has been manifested to prescribe all
who do not fall in the train, and proclaim power
higher than the constitution, though the party
should die under the operation.
We are inclined to think that there is plenty Of
business, in which the whole city is interested,
which requires the attention Of the Common Coun-
ell, and which has long suffered through most re-
prebensble neglect. The members sit about one
and half hour per day, for which they receive
each four dollars, and, instead Of attending to the
duties which belong to them, and which are re-
quired at their hands, spend their time in trying to
make political capital for their own aggrandize-
ment Ii is high time that men should be chosen
to manage the affairs Of the city, who above the
contemplate trucking to particular man or mea-
sure, and especially when that man or measure is
dis carded by the majority of the people whose in
erests they chosen to serve. 1t is to be hoped
that a sense Of duty will operate upon those MEM
bers Of the Common Council who have been en-
gsgcd in this business to abandon il, and turn their
attention TO the business for which they paid,
thereby rendering service for value received.

The editors Of the Republic called up to the

But this is the policy The Ewing gets

The friends of the compromise are sangune Of the
Senate by handsome majority. 1t il thought
that nearly all the Southern will be brought its
support and 1t is expected tsat, with q cabinet
the House will be secured. On the other hand some
Of the extreme Southern members rather pleased
with the from California, and think that the
longer any action is delayed the greater the prospect
of the Missouri compromise. Mr.. Clay's plan gains
rapidly; but the contest will be terrible Much, how

long enough; and we call upon them TO leave the
President, 10 depart with the best grace they

they will leave unfinished, or finished with in
