TEMPERANCE NOMINATIONS.

There is q report current that the Temper
"ance Alliance" Of our City-how constituted or
whom representing We will not stop here to in.
qure-will assemble this evening and proceed to
make nominations for most if not all of the Offices
10 be filled at our next Election now more than
two months ahead. This rePort-we trust un-
four ded or dstorted-impels US to restate the
views which we have hitherto expressed on the
general subject.
Temperance nominations; when the eXigency
shall require such, We stand ready to Dc it again
But we have seen the cause far oftener damaged
than advanced by separate nominations, and have
not doubt that the political operations OF this
Temperance Alliance have, on the whole, been
serious detriment to the progress Of Prohibition.
And we wish it to be distinctly undes,ood that
the great body of the Liquor Prohibtionists Of
our City will vote hereafter, as hitherto, with
very little regard to the DEGREES Of this Alliance.
We who stand for Prohibition have great end
to gain and formidable obstacles to vsnquish.
We have many bitter and influential sdversaries-
men whose hopes OF gain depend on our defeat,
and whose comfortable consciousness Of eminent
Iespe<tabili.y is rudely disturbed BY our argu-
ments But they who are for Us are more than
they who are seainst US, and we shall certainly
triumph if we do not contrive to defeat ourselves.
That we can do BY needlessly running a-muck
against al other parties and interests, and thus
only.
There are in this City not less than Thirty
thousand voters who would like to see the end
of the Legalized Rum Trsfie, while there are
probably not Five Thousand who would vote for
Maine Law candidates throughout as against all
others that may be in the 6eid. For these Thirty

The hisA- American for this week has very
pertinent and timely address BY the Editor to nis
fellow citizens of Irsh birth, exhortibs them, i.
To vote ever and consider all political questions
as Americans purely, and not as lrshmen; :. 10
be crcumspect and inofen'ive st the polls brow
beating or otherwise giving just cause OF oifensc
to none; and 3. To abstain utterly and scruPu-
lously from all Intoxicating Beverages on the day
Of Election. We hope this good advice will gen
orally be followed and that the anti Irish preJu'
dice now widely prevalent. and not without cause
may thus be gradually softened and finally die
pelied altogether.

Owing to the present calamitous depression in all
kinds of business which, we fear, is to be as pro-
tracted as it is universal and the consequent dminu
ton of the pace occupied by advertisements in the
columns Of THE TRIBUNE, we find il convenient to
slightly reduce the size of sheet and henccforth
until further notice, it will appear in the form and
style in which it is now presented. Our readers may
be assured that this change will be accompanied by
no dmiuuiion in either the quantity or quality Of the
reading matter, and that the very numerous staff of
writers and correspondents whose efforts have done
so much to give this journal the position it enjoys,
will still labor with tie same devotion and fidelity in
the public service. We trust, moreover, that re-
turn of prosperous tines together with the sue
cess of the inany new methods for the production of
better and cheaper paper, may soon again render it
advisable for US to the issue Of more
spacious and elegant sheet. 1t s perhaps, proper to
add that the one we now furnish is larger than that Of
either of our immediate competitors.

The Daily Times in an article apropos of the
manly and spirited leader on the Nebraska ques-
ton in Putnam for September, expresses fear
that magazines which discuss political questions,
may not succeed in obtaining support. The Times
is probably not aware that one of the Oldest and
most decided political magazines in the country
is Haryr's Ner Monthly which is nevertheless
said to be pretty well patronized. Only in Au-
gust last tina, periodical had an editorial article
on this very Nebraska question, parts Of which
we have seen cited at the South with cordial ap-
probation. We presume, then, that Pstsam may
live, notwithstanding i. has an opinion Oh politics

ELECTIONS TO coxGREss-FREEDOM.


We meet this line Of argu nent in many Anti
Nebraska Wing papers: ITO be sure, our Demo-
"cratic Member voted against the Douglas abom
"ipstiop all through, and for that we thank him.
but be did no more than his duty. A Wing
would certainly have done the came; and
Though we are glad to have our Representative
right on this question, we prefer to elect one
"who is right on all questions This looks
specious-let US hold it up to the light.
1t is doubtless true that the Wing competitor
over whom this Ant.Nebraska Democrat was
elected would bave voted ON the Douglas bill just
% he did, while it is probable that he would
have voted better on some other questions. II
is we will say, unfortunate that more Wings
were not chosen to the present Congress. But
the past is past; what is our duty for the future
That Whig in his place would have voted on
Nebraska just as this Democrat did, We have
freely conceded; but it does not follow that his
vote ould have been equally meri,orious. The
Wbig would have gone 9Th the great body OF bis
party and against the Administration, of which that
party asks and expects nothing while the Demo-
crat in opposing the Nebraska BILL went againstthe
drll of party and against the strongest efforts of
that Admin stration which be was chosen to sup
port The cass, then, are not parallel, nor
Dearit 1t part of the traditional policy Of the
Northern Democracy to support the Slave Power,
while Northern Wings have generally opposed it.
The Wbig who voted against Nebraska strength
ened himself with his constituents and increased
the probability that he would be asked to serve
again: the Democrat oa the contrary, braved the
wrath of the White House. the thunder of The
Union, and the chance of distracting fnot aliens
ting his party.
For our part, though admitting that none who
opposed the Nebraska bill did more than their
duty, we feel special gratitude toward those
Democrats who faithfully, earnestly, unhinch
iugy fought the good fight Of Freedom and Pub
lie Faith. We should like to see them reelected;
and we could wish that the Wing organizations Of
their several Districts would call no Congressional
conventions and bring out no candidates against
them. We are sure this course would be right
from the start and polite in the end-that it
would convince Thousands that our resistance to
the Nebrasks bill was not impelled by considera-
tions Of party expedency. We do MT want any
loose fsh. Whig or Democrat, reelected merely
because they voted Anti. Douglas; but we do want
to see some course taken to dffuse, strengthen
and consolidate the spirit of resistance to Slavery
Extension. II those who agree with Us in this
sentiment, but csvil at the course we have sug-
gested, will only suggest better, we shall very
cheerfuly adopt il.

OUR CITY ELECTION,

We are to choose q Mayor, Recorder and other
important functonares this fall, who will prac-
ticslly control the powerful, allpervading ma
chinery of our Police system. 1t is but natural,
then. that our citizens should begin thus early TO
cast about them for fit men to fill these exalted
stations-in fact, i. would be natural and CON-
mepdabe if they were to turn their attention to
these matters earlier and more generally. Lie
and property are none too safe among US at best;
but a strong, honest, intelligent Municipality
could make them much more so than they now
are. 1t is the personal interest of every man who
lives honestly that we should have better, purer
and more fearless administration of our laws;
while ii is Of no consequence, practically whether
our rulers are called Wings, Democrats, or
something different from either. Let US carry
forward the movement so nobly begun last year,
by electiDg to Municipal stations men who will
serve the public faithfully and efficiently, no mat
ter of what name. In voting to I'LL National and
State Offices, We may wisely consider the political
opinions and party relations Of the rival candi-
dates but it will be blessed day for our City
when party names cease to exert any contrsl over
our Municipal affairs.
Whom shall we have for Mayor is question
which begins to be widely canvassed. and it has
been very generally conceded that the successful
aspirant is to be first indicated in the secret coun.
ellis of the Know -Nothings.' Hence struggle
