a CONSOLIDATION Charter,

We sincerely declare an indisposition to take
any captious exceptions to any plan of chartered
Consolidation We freely acknowledge that the
bill introduced by Mr. Robb prepared, we I'M
derstand, by very intelligent gentleman of this
city, has many merits in the management OF
details. L
Its great vitiating principle is the fixture to
include Lafayette; its prominent feature is the
incest care of those who bought the bonds of the
Third Municipality at nothing, and who nov
work Consolidation to make the Second and First
1.-THE Second the more largely pay the most ex-
traordinary profit ever known in a pecuniary
speculation.s The Second Municipality holds
Forty Millions; the First, Twenty Millions; the
Third, Ten Millions, of taxable property. Over
both the otlier Municipalities the Second has al
excess Of over Ten Millions of taxable property

city. The Levee streets of the First Municipal
