CITY REEOUM.


What do YOU consider the chronic mslady under

you imagine it is any thing else than thisthat the
People have long neglected their business aud
suffered it to fall into the hands of cques of sets, of
parties-then are you indeed mistaken. No matter

vgilantly not for excited month two merely, but
as fixed habit for all time to come
In the greedy pursuit of gain pleasure, our citi

EXCURSION TRAHs-The NewJersey Central Railroad

MIR. BUCHANAN ENGLAND.

The period in the worlds history length have
tons upon trade surely defs their object snd
wher self.hns iself enlisted in favor Of liberal policy"
Such is the language which Mr. JAMES BUCHANAN,
ambassador Extraordinary from this country to the
Court of St James sees fit TO employ in declining an
invitation to a complimentary dinner at Liverpool.
Precisely at what period mankind were ignorant Of
the evil effects of narrow and unjust restrictions on
Foreign Trade" Mr. b does not see ri 10 inform us;
but he probably audes TO the period in which he him
self was active and prominent in enactng the Tariff
of lS2s-the highest and most restrictive ever had
In point of fact believe there was never Protect
i've Tariff nor high Tariff Bill OF any sort, submitted
to Congress from 1S2l when he entered the House,
to lci5 when he quilted the Senate that Mr. Bnchsn-
an did not vote for He was an original ardent
and steady Protectionist from his first entrance into
public life down at least TO 1884 when party
sity constrained change of front on this question
and he voted for the Black Tariff" of l542 Can
any man doubt that he is understood by his English in
yters as condemning those very measures, which he
advocated and voted for in the passage we have
quoted above!
Ifany man were to ask Mr. Buchanan to-day Do
you Sir believe that in levying Duties on Imports,
no regard should be paid to the encouragement and
support ofinantle struggling branches Of Home In
dustry l"-he would almost inevitably answer, in ac
cordance with the tenor of his lifelong endcayOr, No
Sir believe that just much Revenue as is needed
should be raised by Duties on Imports; and that, in
"adustng those Duties due regard should be had to
the cherishiDg and sustaining of the various branches
of Domestic Industry" And in saying this he plants
himself exactly on the platform of the Protectonsts
and in antagonism that of the Free Traders He be-
comes in the view ofthe latter champion of narrow
and unjust restrictions Foreign Trade"-a deyotee
of that selfshness which is not enlisted in favor of
"a liberal policy"
Shall we never again have a Minister to England who
will speak and act there like an American Are there
no Free Traders extant. who have anything better to
urge in behalf of their theory than railing accusations
and bad names

The Board of Aldermen had meeting last evening.
The ordinance for the reorganization Of the City into
Election Districts to conform with the Boundaries of
the Districts some weeks ago fixed for the election of
Counclmen, was submitted BY the Committee on Ord
nances and adopted without discussion. The regular
Election Districts have by this action been made to
conform with the Boundaries of the Council Districts,
as for instance, in the First Ward there three
regular Election Districts and two Council Districts;
two of the regular districts converted into one
Council District and the other into one The Alder
men, in arranging the above districts have, of course
had view 10 their own Interests. Doubtful Council
Districts BY this movement have been made right
by the creation of districts, where if successful
in securing the right kind of Inspectors they hope to
be able to poll votes without much embarrassment.
The Common Council will next take steps TO appoint
additional Inspectors Of kind to sut them. resOu-
ton was adopted appropratng $4,000 to defray cleo
ton expenses in fitting up places to hold the polls and
the Commissioner of Repairs and Supplies directed
to make the necessary arrangements when applied to
by the Alderman and Assistant of each Ward.
In the Assistants the principal feature the laying
on the table, without dissenting voice of the resou
ton of the other Board to remove Chief Engineer
Carson.
