THE SECOND OF JUNE.

called upon to determine who shall be their municipal
managers the succeeding two years. A Mayo, four
Recorders, nine Aldermen and fifteen Assistant Al
dermen are to be chosenin fact, the whole machin-
cry Of the city government undergoes change, and
III that change isnyoIve the pursuit or abandonment
Of policy wisely inaugnrated and rgdly adhered to
by the present american Council, which redeemed
the credit Of the city paid off half million Of dol
lars of floating debt economy for extlaY
agance, system in place of lack Of system, and re-
duced taxation upon real estate seventy per cent.
If the American ticket succeeds, the ayers will
have an nnquestioned assurance that the judcious
policy we have barely limited at above will be carried
out in future. If the Democratic part father
the SGdell portion Of tlurnphs We have ne secu-
rity that the same NAL administration, extrav
and carelessness Of the public interests which nave
invariably it armed Will munlcl-
pal authority viii not be piaeced again, leaving the
property Of tie city more burthen with liabii-
ties.
Oh opponents, ii their zeal to injure the American
regardless IF right and reckless Of wrong
get one very telling inyeig with unwont
al bitterness against the Of our corpo-
ration anair and charge tile whole to the account Of
the American part seek to prejudice the public
mind agnst that party by pointing ont every error
Of omission or commission they can lay their hands
upon. # s s ssas
Indoing this, they have nwittngly inflicted blow
upon themselves have inpu gned the honesty and
capacity of the leaders Of their own party. The
American party has never yet had possession Of the
city government. In $50 55, the Democrats had the
Mayor and the Board Of Aldermen, with the exclu-
sve control Of the police department. In 1S55s56,
Americans have had maorites in both Boards Of the
Common Council, but the Democrats have had, and
now have, the Chief Magistrate of the city and the
supreme direction Of the police 50 it will be seen
that every particular and every instance, the
Democrats are much, if not more responsible, for
errors Of government than the Americans.
Bnt, yielding them 1.-THE advantage theycan claim,
we are willing that the party to which we belong
should be Judged by the fruits Of its policy since the
Legislature of the city has been in its hands, We are
willing to abideby the record. We are prepared to
stand or fall BY the past What that past and record
is, We have taken equent occasion to adyertto Tho
SUBJECTS 50 familiar to readers that need NOT
gointo a reorganization here. The main points we
have briefly glanced at already If the results Of that
policy are heedlessly passed over by the Taxpayers,
we much mistaken their conception Of what is
due party that has relieved them of onerous bur-
thens, and gurated system which, if faithfully
enforced will lead at early date to further ameo-
rations AS tree IS Judged by its fruits, SO let the
American party Of New Orleans be judged by the
acts and policy Of those clothed with power twelve
4 months ago last March.
] We have an abiding confidence that the voters of
New Orleans viii sustain, by triumphant maiorities,
4 the American ticket this day week. Its the best
ticket presented to the people for their suages
There is neither speck, nor blemish, nor weakness
about it. The names are all unimpeached and unirl-
peachabe. It is headed by merchant Of high stand
ing, of great frmness, decisive quick cool and
tious we'll versed in the wants and requirements of
the city, of what is needfn to her future advance
ment and prosperity, Of what will contribute to her
growth and Development, and a man who is, Withal,
possessed Of much and varied experience, municipal
and legislative In addition, he is q gentleman Of
spotless character. Although he has taken anactiye
part in many political canYasses the tongue Of cal
jimmy has never dared to whisper aught against the
fair fame of Charles NJ. Waterman. As q citizen, a
merchant and politician, he has always been fair,
honorable and above board, and has won the respect
and confidence Of the whole community to such an
extent that we verify believe a personal imputation
upon him would be frowned down in any public meet
| ing Of his opponents.
| What is indsputable as regards Mr. Waterman is
equally ndisputable regards the other gentlemen
4 on the general ticket Than Mr.. Thomas Theard
for Comptroller, and Mr. P. Amadee Guyol for Street
4 Commissioner two more unexceptionable gentlemen
cannot be found. They combine all the requisites
necessary to able discharge of the duties devolv
ing upon public officers They are capable, faithful
honest and worthy. What other qualities re-
4 quired 2 None, that we can think of.
4 Then, look at our ticket for Aldermen and As
sistant Aldermen It, too is strong it is unex-
| ceptionabe. The oftener the names on it are read
over, the more apparent becomes its strength. Our
first merchants largest property holders, and
most intelligent experienced citizens, are that
ticket The interests Of the corporation could not be
4 confded to better or ADLER hands,
I 4" On the night Of the second of June, We hope
to send lightning messagen to Cincinnati and other
prominent cities of the Union, carrying the glad It'd
ings g that the metropolis Of the South stands free
from the faint of Slideliisl and modern Democracy
and that long mayt be before another party arises
in this State, founded on corruption and proscrp
nof the natives of the soil, simply because they
are natives of the soil. .;. ~ sa#s 81
4 The skies are bright. The future promises slo
rously Push on the column. One united effort this
4 day week, and all will be well. WI i.
