people, he is scarcely such a fool as to force
quarrel with us Should such an event hap
pen-and we do not desire tit could only re-
suit in extending the southern boundary Of the
United States to Central America and blotting
from the map all traces Of the so-called "Repub-
lie Of Mexico"
Mr.. COOLEY ON THE ADMINIsTRATION.-The
brief report which we published yesterday, of
Mr.. Cooley's speech in the State Senate, on the
administration and the barnburners, must have
satisfied our readers that in singing out that
gentleman for the heavy business Of the Legis-
lature, we made decided hit. Such is the
value of an instructive perception of the pure
gold among the dross Of mankind. When we
declared that Mr.. Cooley had not been to Egypt
for nothing-had not assembled the Nle-had
not climbed to the summit of the tallest pyra-
mid-had not plunged down into the mysteries
of the catacombs--had not slept upon the
desert, for nothing, we had presentment that
Mr.. Cooley would make his mark among the
politicians at Albany. And has he not done it
We think he has done it with extraordinary
JUNCTION. He does not mince matters at all.
He walks right into the softshells, and scat
tiers them right and left, like the champion of a
scrimmage at Denny brock Fair. He tells one
member that he was guilty of an impertinent
interruption. and another that he had perpe-
trated "a brazen outrageous, barnburner lieW
When man rushes up to the fighting point, and
squares himself to maintain the charge of a lie,
it may be inferred that he is warming up with
his subject. Well, we should say it was about
time to have definite understanding of some
sort between the hardshells and the softs.
The present harmony of the Tammany ceal-hole
is not the thing, and can't last long
But what says Mr.. Cooley of the administra-
ton, concerning its distribution of the spoils-
those seven fundamental principles Of all poll
ticans-the five loaves and two fishes? What
says Mr.. Cooley concerning the fesh-pots of
Egypt? He says that 9 it seems to be the poll
cy Of Gen. Pierce to lavish most Of his patron
age on those who have labored to create dissen-
sion between the North and South-on political
renegades, to the neglect of faithful national
democrats" 1t is hard; but we turn over-we
must turn over--Mr. Cooley to the Washington
Union. We ask the Union to answer Mr..
Cooley categorically, to the point and to the
purpose: Have democratic renegades been APP
pointed to office in preference to good national
democrats? Some further explanations are de-
manded, in addition to those which the Union
has kindly condescended to give The hardshells
are becoming belligcrent; there is mutiny in the
camp-rank, open mouthed mutiny; and very
gloomy prospect for us all in the re-opening of
the late split in the democratic party of New
York. Mr.. Cooley does not stand alone. The
prospect before us is dark-very darl-dark as
Egypt. What's to be done?
The New CHARrER-TnE PEOPLES MEET
ING To-NIGnr-We call the attention Of our
fellow citizens to the mass meeting in favor of
the new charter. at Metropolitan Hall, tonight
Let it be such meeting as shall give assurance
Of "goodly day" for the tax payers Of this
corporation from and after Tuesday next And
let the progressive democracy remember that
on Monday they are expected to rally their
invincible thousands to the rescue, in the Park
not in the great Central Park but in that
little caticorned patch of sunburnt grass and
dying sycamores overshadowed by the City
Hall and its accessory buildings-and let them
bear in mind that this city can be made to pay
expenses without taxing its people to death.
The new charter may be made the beginning
Of the grandest results. Properly managed
and enlarged. and with moderate charges, the
docks and wharves. market houses, &C., might
be made to yield a budget which, under ju-
dicious regulations, and in good hands, would
leave us handsome surplus over all corpora
ton expenses, without the necessity Of one
tenth part of our miscellaneous taxations. The
new charter is beginning to this end; and the
mass meeting tonight is designed to put the
ball in motion for Tuesday. 1t is high time to
be doing something for this mighty mass Of
people of our empire city; and in this view
we anticipate grand asscmblage at the Metro
rolitan Hall tonight New Workers, shall it
not be so?
The GREAT CENTRAL PARK.-The argument Of
an evening contemporary in behalf the great
Central Park, is so conclusive in its favor, that
we should regret the misfortune if our wise
dispensers Of the laws at Albany were to fail in
getting this aforesaid brief and conclusive ar
gument. 1t is as follows. as made out from an
estimate by committee of our Common Coun-
Gil, to witt
