To the Citizen. OF New York.

A few days since, publicly exposed the extraor-
dinary manner in which bill passed the Common
Council, which periled the most valuable portion
OF our city, embodying, in my communication TO
the public, the present District Attorney, whom
proyident,aly saw coming into the Mayors office,
w W.T. the fatal bill IN his hand IL order to procure
with the Mayor, Mr.. Blunt branded the fremen
oil New York as a set of rowdies-a charge from
which he now strives to relieve himself by adrotly
introducing matter which was not preached at our
interview. Finding, on that occasion, that was
irreeoncieably opposed to the sudden destruction
Of the three Fire Companies in Chambers street,
he at once exclaimed, without any previous or sub
sequent allusion to the nine club 70 ~dies" before

caring that by "your rowdies" he meant tho
" nine short Boy rowdies, now on trial for attack

BE- caileda "his rowdies," nasmuch as they and
their companions be found at our pri mary and

wing or democratic camps, aud forcing worthy
citizens from the polls Aaron Burr, himself never
more ingeniously devised plausible escape from q
very bad dilemma than has the District Attorney.
