FOR THK AMERICAN ORGAN.
Alderman Magruder and the Sc Corporation
Bankruptcy"

In former article we briefly reviewed the off,
cial course of Alderman NJ in relation to the West
ern Market-house, and proved conclusively, from
the record, that Alderman M. endeavored to waste
$l7,94l,72. We win now proceed with our histori-
cal sketch Of the official career of this remarkable
man.
During the present fiscal year, early in the SEES
sion Of the present councils, Alderman M. intro
duced bill to erect bridge over Rock creek, at
the western terminus Of X street, at a cost of
Eve thousand dollars. This bill he urged through
the Board of Aldermen. The Lower Board, COM
posed almost entirely Of americans passed sub
sttute for it, authorizing the Mayor, u conjunction
with committee appointed by eaea Board, to adj
vertise for proposals, plans, and specifications.
This Alderman NJ fought b.rd, but was compelled
to yield It passed the Bard Of Aldermen, and be-
came a law. (See Is,sfiigencer Of August and Sep
TENDER, 1851 The Mayor and committee adver-
tised as directed by the law, and the contract was
taken at 1900, thus saving the Corporation
81, 900. SO much for count No. 2.
In November or December last, Alderman NJ.
introduced resolution to suspend the sale Of the
property OF delinquent tax payers. II also pass
ed the Aldermen, and was defeated In the Lower
Board. What would have been the result If AL.
derman NJ. had succeeded in this political schemef
The Corporation would undoubtedly have been
bankrupt. IL was his intention, and doubtless, as
was predicted at the time, he had concocted then
che base charge which he has now made.
Sixty thousand dollars was then due the Corpo-
ration, and if the sale had been suspended, MS Al
derman NJ desired, not one dollar would have been
paid now, and truly would the poor widows and
orphans, for whom he so suddenly manifests so
much symp&hy been deprived Of their earnings.
just here We may add that the sale yielded but
$4,000, which the Corporation could use leav-
ing Gas, 900 due. Yet the Corporation is bankrupt.
SO much for count No. 3.
A few weeks since, Alderman Magruder endeav-
ored to obtain an appropriation of $500 for the
Western Hose Company. This was patriotic and
gratuitous service. No one had asked such an APP
preparation, not even have the members Of the
Western Hose Company, petitioned for this ex-
penditure $500 more saved by the lower Board.
Count No. A.
The last was a grand political maneuvre by
which he imagined he might hoodwink the lower
Board, doubtless at the time intending to charge
them with proHigacy and corruption. The gen
tleman IL entitled 20 all the political capital he
can manufacture out Of such tricks and schemes.
To sum up, we have shown that Alderman NJ.
endeavored to waste 81 AL ~ and made astrenu-
GUS effort to deprive the Corporation Of lis own re-
sources, amounting 10 100000. Is such man a
ft legislator Enough for to-day.
CoRRrcTioN.--In the article Of yesterday the
street should have been put down at 81 ,226, and
in the last paragraph the amount should have
been tl7,94I,72.

Those who stand on the American platform are
bound 10 wage a double war--a war against ADO
tionists and Secessonists for both are enemies OF
the Union--that Union which true Americans deem
10 be necessary TO the preservation of constitution
Al liberty For no cause the grayest are the
American party willing TO sever the golden bands
of Union.
1t has been objected to the party that its meet
ings are secret What Of that, while It's general
principles are known Its opponents 50 consider
them, for they reply to them at great length and
with great zeal
The most ridiculous charge urged Is that OF
abolitonism Nearly every leading abolitionist and
every leading abolitionist paper North denounces
bitterly the order. And whyf Because the ten.
dency of its principles Is to curtail the electoral
power of the North. The native increase Of the
South has been for series OF years greater tnah
that in the North, and yet, by the lnwise stimulus
given to immigration, the South ~ IN minority OF
more than fifty in the House Of Representatives
Unless Americans in principle are sent to Congress
tho South win become equally powerless in the
Senate. The foreigner will always favor and has
always favored the Wilmot Proviso and kindred
measures because they wish to get rid OF the COM
petition of cheap slave labor.
We have thus reviewed the leading principles
ofthe Virginia American party No man need be
ashamed Of them. They have the Immortality Of
truth, and will survive their denouncers. Raise
high, then, the banner of the American party, in
scribed with American men and American
measures y for II is the banner Of the true reform
party. Let US keep free from foreign alloy the
liberty which cost 50 much blood and treasure.
Let us preserve II pure and lovely as when II
o,me from our revolutionary and constitutional
fathers. The Winchester nominees stand firmly
on the principles we have been discussing; the
Bsaunton nominees vehemently oppose them.
Should not every man, with the knowledge and
spirit Of true Americanism, support the former

THE vrro OF Gov. GARpSrR.--Governor Gard
ner, of Massachusetts, for bis refusal to concur
with the abolitionists In the Legislature Of that
State in their action against Judge Loring is re-
ceiving the thanks Of the whole country. We
commend bis noble stand In behalf of the indie
pendence Of the Judiciary and the Constitution Of
the United States to the special attention Of those
who do not believe that any good thing can pro-
coed from the American party.
We append an extract from Governor Gardner's
veto message:
"To the allegation that Judge Loring has shock
ed the popular sentiment Of Massachusetts, II may
be pertinent to ask, what the duty Of judges is
Are they TO expound the laws az made by the law
making power, or are they 10 construe them in ac-
cordance with popular scntimentsf When the
time arrives that Judge 80 violates bis oath Of Of
fee as to shape his decisions according TO the Huc-
tuations Of popular feeling, we become govern
ment not Of laws but of men.
"Supposing, as Is alleged, that according to the
ordinary balancing Of conflicting testimony, the
decision Of Judge Loring was erroneous; no one
asserts or believes that he wilfully adjudicated
wrongfully and corruptly. The error, If error It
be considered, was 4 mistake. Is judge, then,
10 be removed from Office, even ifin the execution
of that Office he give mistaken judgmentf Such
an impractical and dangerous policy would lead
TO daily removal among judicial officers Of our in
erior courts 30 often are their decisions overrued
by higher tribunals"

Of Kansas, can come to this Territory and not feel
compelled to own that in some respects he Is

statement copied from the st. Lofts Republican,
affirming that large numbers sent o,t by the north

REV. Mr. FILLMORE, Of White Greek, New York,
has received a call from the Presbyterian Church
on the Island, in this city. He is relative of ex-
President Fillmore, and gentleman Of superior
talents and unaffected piety. The Washington
County Post, published at his present residence,
thus alludes to him:
g It is unnecessary for us here to speak of the
almost unprecedented confidence and generous
esteem, well as the universal love and respect,
in which Mr.. Fillmore is held by the members of
his church and congregation, as the experience and
observation of the past twelve years, furnish album
dant proof on this subject. The superior talents
and high literary attsnments the vivid imagina-
ton, combined with deep argumentative powers,
and originality of thought, together with his fine
social faculties, would have secured to him long
before this place far more desirable than the
he now occupies, in respect to popularity as well
as pecunary reward, had he seen fit to have ac-
cepted propositions that have been made him from
such sourcesn
