Cry REFORM AND PsEUDo-PATRIoTs. "A
short time ago. as our readers will recol-
lect a junta Of individuals, styling themselves
City Reformers. put their wise heads together,
in conclave. for the purpose Of overthrowing the
gigantic corruption and enormous abuses that
prevailed in the corporation Their watchwords
were . retrenchment and reform !" but the So
Ions. as if conscious that their own motives were
not right and that there was something rot
ten at the root endeavored not only to exclude
the press from their meetings but abused the
newspapers. never dreaming that without the
aid Of these moral engines no political reform
could ever be achieved. Just as we anticipated.
this hollow humbug fell through in few days,
having died natural death for want of the free
air and pure light of heaven. Another move
ment of the same kind has now succeeded it;
and is likely to share the same fate. Instead
Of calling public meeting, in the light of day
and inviting the attendance of the press to
report the proceedings, these queer reform
ers issue secret circulars, and held
private meeting at the Stuyvesant Institute,
leaving on the public mind the ndelible impress
sion that they are afraid their proceedings
should sec the light and that there is something
, at the bottom besides retrenchment and reform.
If this he not the case. then the citizens of New
York must form very curious opinion about
the sagacity or even the comMon sense of these
gentlemen, who propose to effect great and
salutaIy reforms by The operation Of public
opinion. and yet keep the public in the dark
about the whole matter.
In IBIS free country. if the aims and objects
Of men he good ana fair there is no necessity
for secresy; on the contrary, any attempt at
conccalment viii always kill any movement.
no matter how excellent in design or well in
tended it may be. When We called for pub
lie meeting Of the citizens before their rights
were made away with, where were these REFORM
ers, who are now 50 jealous and patriotic in
secret session, when the evil is all done? This
is like locking The stable door after the horse is
stoleni and we suppose that when the Park is
sold, and all the rest of the public property Of
the citizens disposed Of there will be another
grand secret movement. when the wiseacres,

COMMERCE OF New YORK AND STATISTICS OF
TRADE.-We refer to the statistics of trade in
New FORK. given in another part of our paper.
They were prepared for publication on the first
Of January last but, in consequence of the
crowded state Of our columns with foreign and
domestic news, we have not been able to find
room for them until now. We have been COM
PEELED to use condensation in their preparation
Gould we have spared the room, we could have
greatly extended our collection of interesting
facts Each leading article of trade, treated in
detail would fiji column or more. Such pro-
lixity for daily newspaper was impracticable;
hence we have confined ourselves simply to a
few prominent points making our remarks
quite brief and in other respects. to let the
figures speak for themselves We had prepared
comparative prices for four periods but were
compelled from the reasons stated above. to
confne them to two.
These statistics will not, " trust, prove with
out interest to the statesman, no less than to the
merchant and man Of business. They exhibit at
a glance, the fluctuations in supply and de-
mand with the rise and fall in prices They
indicate the great prosperity of the country in
1852. over that Of 1851, and Is rapid growth IN
population. os well as in production and con
sumption. In all this, we witness the triumphs
Of peace which are greater than those If war,
in cooperation with free institutions and perse-
vering habits of industry and enterprise.
We should be pcesed to sec Congress provide
for the collection and publication of such statis-
ties for the Whole country, each year, giving
statements for two periods, viz:-the 3Oth June
and 3lst December. They would DC found yalu-
able to all engaged IN the pursuits Of agricul-
ture, commerce and manufactures, and hence
benefit the great bulk Of our citizens
IN our brief plan, we were forced to omit
many branches Of trade, such as domestic man
uiactures Of cotton, wool. &c These might

can woman) shared in the festivities while
American Flag was displayed in mu,lated
d'tion--having the stars displayed without
stripes.
Blush, blush thou proud dishonored Flag,
For once forget thy birth,
The stars have parted with the stripes,
And thou shoud'st droop to earth.
The fata! breeze that's round thee now,
Win never let thee wave,
The very air, a traiter breathes,
Is deadly as the grave.
foreign power may well deride
The land she calls her own,
When she can trown on 'Freedom's sign"
For Aatt'ry from throne.
She caught the taint from Arnold's breath,
npassng DER the sea,
And through her veins the POISON ran,
Till she despised the Free.
There's scarce man that God has left
So far removed iroin heaven,
But to his soul some noble life,
Some love OF home is given.
But whom he hears his country's praise,
VIII feel warmer glow,
VIII share the fortunes of her friends
And sPurn her every foe.
The very Pirate, while he moves
A scourge upon the deep,
And watches every distant ship
He hopes to win and keep
VIII Eilter when his native flag
Floats from the masthead high,
And to his heart viii come the scenes
OF Brighter years gone by.
But " wo,nan, she who all her life
Has watched Young Freedoms light,
And seen her stars come one by one
From out the gloom Of night.
She, she ooald see Collmbia's flag,
Abused by touch profane,
And yc, from hands SO soed and base
Can take her sordid gain.
And she can yield her purchased sighs
For those that yet are free,
Beside the pauper hordes' that live
In dens Of misery.
They breathe the damp and sulphurous air,
That eatth would cast away,
They know no God, no hope, no heaven,
They see no light of day.
O. would that those dear banner folds,
With half their glory shorn.
Could once descend the cavern homes,
" here 'Drit,sh Si7ueS'' are born,
Then would our Genius linser there,
To guard her holy prize,
And stranger lips would bless he Flag
