who have been guilty Of the most gross breaches
Of the peaceassaults upon officers in the discharge
of their duties--and even penitentiary conyicts--
have been selected as guardians of the peace Of
our city, and detectives OF criminals II is no ex
cuse to the party selecting these men that they
came to them highly recommended. 1t was duty
which they owed the community to sift to the very
bottom the character of each applicant before they
decided upon his appointment, and not give way to
the pressure Of party feelings, and foist upon the
city set Of men whose conduct heretofore has
been terror to our citizens" aaa

f3Y- We ask especial attention to an article
in this days paper, on the finances Of the city,
which puts to fight the falsehoods daily circu-
lated by that chuckle headed, brainless, menda-
cious and inflated representative Of Forneyism,
who now hopes to gull the people of this city
into his support as a candidate for the Mayor
atty. The article is signed Truth, and truth
is good antidote to falsehood, and especially
when truth is sustained by figures. Will the
Forneyite candidate read the article, and tell
the truth in future, instead of misrepresenting
the American authorities Of this city?
OHIo.--The Americans of Ohio of the right
stripe, who believe in Americans ruling America,
and who intend to support the Philadelphia nomi-
nations heartily, have called State Convention at
Columbus on the eth instant A large number
Of councils have responded, The Independence
Republican says:
The past history of party in this State, al
though Notifying to every true American, has re-
suited in purging it of a body Of men who entered
it from designing and impure motives, and whose
continuance in the party would if their design had
been successful finally have Frustrated American
ism in the State. The Order is now clear of this
sectional influence, and the Fords Spooners, and
others, who have acted with them, are now where
they should always have been, in the ranks of the
anti-American Seward party A bright future is
before the Order in this State the American heart
of Ohio is with us, and all we have to do is to
stand firm on our own glorious principles. A vic
tory of the American party, resulting in the cleo
ton of men who will carry out the original inten-
tons Of the founders Of the American party, will
be a result worthy Of the sons of Revolutionary
patriots But victory, in name only, not of prin-
cple, such as last year--so far as the American
party is concerned, would be not only defeat but
dishonor." ~
We have just seen, says the Express, letter
from Ohio, and from high and authentic source,
giving us assurance that, as far as heard from,
nine out of ten of the councils will send delegates
to this convention, and respond to the Philadel-
phia nomination.
