Having i'll the first of these communications
laid before your readers the true position of the
financial affairs of the city, have followed this
information with such suggestions as to me ap-
peared pertinent to the subject In these arti-
cles, my object has been to lay correct intorma-
ton before the community, and to call attention
to the important subject of a change in our city
Government, rather than to inculcate my own
particular views. 1t is the good of the city that
Iseek; being satisfied to enjoy that portion of
general prosperity that might fall to my share.
In these articles have not referred directly
to Lafayette; but by the application of the same
principles which have been applied to the plan
Of consolidating the three Municipalities, it will
be seen that Lafayette can be included, upon
just and equitable terms.
As to the propriety of some radical change ii
our city Government, there is scarce any dis
erepancy Of opinion; and it is to be hoped thai
all will bring their sectional feelings and preju
dices as a common offer to the good of theil
country, and counsel together for the formation
ofsuch system Of government as will but tenc
to promote the general welfare and happiness
