A NEW CITY HALL.

A proposition has BEEN some time before the
Common Council TO erect building for the ac-
cOmmodation of those departments of the City,
State and Federal Government which are now
hidden in the hooks and corners of old buildings
and otherwise entirely unfit places. The subject
is one Of Importance, and should not be hur-
riedly decided on. Some most absurd plans have
been proposed, and of course many Interested
parties are active in crowding them through
that plan which is likely to furnish the latest
jobs and the most of them, having the greatest
number of friends at the ears of the members of
the respective Boards.
New.YOrk now contains 700 900 inhabitants,
snd is growing at the rate of eight ten per cent
per snnum. Brooklyn, with more than 200, 900
residents, is practically as much a portion of
New.York City as is Yorkyille, or even the neigh
borboOd around the Crystal Palace. The i'm
mense banking, forwarding, commission, and
wholesale business Of New. York is, and always
will be, "down town" near the dtpots of travel
10 all parts of the country. At the Park nine
teen.twentielhs of City travel centers; near the
same point the New.Jertey, Erie, Hudson River
Harlem, and New-EIayen RailrOsds-mOnopoliz
ing tbree-fourths Of summer travel, and al in
winter-set down their passengers From points
opposite the Park or lower down, depart and ar
rive the North River and Sound passenger boats,
with the summer travel not monopolized by rail-
roads Opposite the Park, on each river, center
the principal ferries to Brooklyn, Williamsburgh,
Flushing, HobOken, jersey City, Keyport and the
Jersey coast. From present appearance it is not
likely that any radical change in this centering at
the Park will be ehected-at least for many years,
and rever to any very great extent. We hear
of removing the City Offices to Msdi.
'on-square; but nobody ever really desired such
a change. The place is unsuited; the residents

HOW MANY MAsrERs HAVE WE ,

HOW MANY MASTERS HAVE WE!
1t has been said that no man can serve two
masters; but the sense must not be taken liter
ally, since every nation which is ruled by an
oligarcby furnishes standing contradiction of
the maxim. The meaning is, doubtless, of
masters whose characters and principles are
wholly diverse; in which sense the proposition
is true. But where they are thoroughly united
in the determination to rule at every hazard,
they cease to be many, and become formidable
unit. Such is the Slave-boldng oligarchy Of the
about, they never differ when the interests of
Slavery are involved, or their divine right to rule
tie country brought in question.
Awaiting ourselves of the slave-holding stats
tics, which, though suppressed in the original
publication of the Census, have just been
given to the world in a smaller work by
the present Superintendent, we proceed to
show, as nearly as practicable, the number
OF what may be regarded as the nobility,
or ruling power, Of the South and Of the
country. 1t will be seen that there is a striking
analogy between it and the arstOcracy of the other
great slave holding nation of the world, Russia,
though the Russian aristocracy consists Of four
teen classes, while our slave. holders are divided
into eleven only. The lowest class Of mobiles in
Russia is distinguished by not being liable to cor
poreal Jogging while the lowest class of mobiles
in the Model Republic, superior to the Russian in
its privileges, has for its distinction the right TO
fog one niger, that being the number of his fell
low-cOuntrymen belonging to each member of
this class. The ten higher classes are composed
respectively of those who own five, those who own
five and under ten, ten and under twenty, and go
on to those who own one thousand and over.
Taking these figures from the compendium and
placing them in column, we have deduced two
other columns from them: the first is the average
number of slaves owned BY those who own one and
under FIVE, FIVE and under ten, and so on. The
second shows the aggregate number of slaves
owned by each class:

The Municipal Election takes place in Boston.
to-day, under circumstances which give it an in
terest not u,ual in such events. II is notorious
that the recent triumph of the Know -Notbings
in the State aud Congressional elections is
taken, st the South especially, as an indication
that Massachusetts, has submitted 10 the Slave
Power and ia hencefOrth to be silently accessory
to all schemes for extending the peculiar institu-
tiOn. AS If with view to render doubt
on this subject impossible, the Know othings
of Boston have nominated DR.. J. V. C.
Smith, the present Mayor, for reelection.
Should he gain the entire support of the Order,
the question will be settled and we shall know
that the so-called American party of that city if
not of the whole State, are perfectly obedent to
the DEGREES of the late National Council at Gin
cinnati, and are ready not only to act as slave
catehtrs individually but as body, to lend all
possible aid and comfort to the Slavery propa-
ganda. DR.. Smiths oficous course in the Burma
case renders him a most proper person TO test
this question, and We are grateful to the Know
Nothing leaders for having brought the matter 90
honestly snd usnfully to trial. No man who
feels the slightest di,sssts or repa'ios at slave

q, 257 shareholders, owning about three-fourths
of the slaves, is too large by some thousands who
are counted twice or oftener. But it also em-
braces many thousands more Of widows and
orphans who exercise no political influences; and
Cd the whole, we may set it down that our mas
tiers number not more than eighty thousand, equal
perhaps to half the population Of Brooklyn.
The mass Of small shareholders partake of the
feelings and views of their lordly superiOrs, bat
they would never aspire to the control of the
Federal Government if left to themselves. They
are, in all matters affecting the interests of
slavery, under the guidance of those who own
gangs of ffties and hundreds, in which they
differ not great deal from their northern allies,

have eight days later news from California, with
over 81, 300, 600 in god and advices from Oregon,
Sandwich Islands Japan, China, the Isthmus and

1t will be seen that the aggregate number of
slaves arrived at in this way is 523, i2; whereas
according to the census there were only 3 20i 49,
The error of our estin ate IL, therefore, $1,000.
But the Superintendent states, 10 q note to the
table, that "where the party owns slaves in die
"ferent counties, or in different States, he will
abe entered more than once. This will disturb
"the calculation very little, being only the case
"smoDg the larger properties, and it will account
"for the fact that a smaller number OF su n pro-
"perties are reported in some of the States than
ARE known to exist, particularly in South
Carolina, Virgins, ard Louisiana" The num-
Der OF large slave. holders is therefore smaller
than the table shows, aud our error may be ap-
Portloned equally between all classes.
No one with little knowledge of S)uthern
society Will doubt that thousands of shareholders
own slaves in different Counties and State. and
are consequently numbered two or three
times in this clumsy report. After making all
due allowance for these circumstances. il will bs

We insert in another column letter from
Capt Smith, whose alleged statements to the
Editor of The N. Y Evangelist we published last
week. Capt Smith, it will be perceived, asserts
that those statements are utterly false" al
though he does not deny having made them to
the editor. 1t is only proper to add that Capt.
Smiths word is not likely to be received by the
public with as much confidence as that Of a jour
nal so eminently Trustworthy as The Evangelist;
besides, if he himself AYERS that his former state
ments were false, how are we to rely on his
present assertion?
