event Of the election of said party, the sum OF
$4,000 should be deposited for their use in a
particular bank The party was elected, but
the funds were not forthcoming. The man OF
the press called on the party elect, who referred
him to another certain individual OF the press,
but still the funds did not come forth,

APPEAL

To the members Of the ThirtyJlfth Congress
and that portion Of the inad6atasts or the
city soho are an1S0us TO PreserUe me noes
OF oar citizens and the peace OF oar cary
That life and property are no longer safe m
our city is beyond the shadow OF doubt;
and that our city wholly at the mercy OF
an organized band of armed lawless rutfians is
equally certain.
This club numbers from three to Jour hun
bred, and is composed of outlaws, who have
fed from other cities to escape the punish
ment due to their crimes; of our own citizens,
some of whom hold position and place under
the General and City Governments; and OF
the sons of number of our most reputable
citizens. We have the names of the most OF
them, and we are determined to spread them
before the world.
That our City Government is utterly pow
erless is proven by the outrages which daily
and nightly occur in our midst; and we
charge that men who are paid from our city
treasury, and to whom we should look as our
guardians and protectors, are in collision
with and eountenance these desperadoes in
their deeds of robbery and murder, and in
numerous instances are actual participators
with them in their lawlessness and crime II 4
We appeal to the Representatives of the
people, who will assemble on the first Mond ~
in December next, to take immediate action
in our behalf; and in the mean time we call
upon the citizens, who have any regard for
the preservation of the peace and the future
character Of the metropolis of the nation, to
organize and take the government of the city
in their own hands, and drive these muir
derers from our midst, or visit them with the
most summary punishment. .a
We have no confidence in our Mayor, his
police, or our criminal Judiciary; and our
public prints fail to publish the facts in regard
to these outbreaks, but are mere one-sided
jesuitical statements, suppressing the truth,
misrepresenting facts, and influenced by par
tisan zeal and malignant hatred. y

AN ENCOURAGING MOVEMENT.

Mayor Wood, who won SO much praise at
the commencement of his mayoralty by the
energy and capacity he then exhibited, has
lately pandered SO openly and shamefully to
the rabble of New York, in order TO obtain
their sweet voices" that he has not only dis
gusted, but alarmed, such as have property to
be protected, In consequence Of his shame
less dcmagogueism, a large public meeting
was held, with view to sustain Mr.. Tieman,
who had been previously nominated as the
peoples candidate for mayor, in opposition to
Mr. Wood. Prominent in this movement
were such men as William +. Havemeyer, a
Democrat, and formerly Mayor, Peletiah Perit,
Frederick De Peyster, and other leading mer-
chants Mr., Cooley, who had been nomi-
mated by the Americans, announced his decli-
nation, and thus all obstacles were removed in
the way Of union of such as prefer the pub
lie good, peace, order, and security, to the
success of any party whatever, except the
party of law and order" Il
But the foreign and native born rowdies,
aided and marshaled on by Tammany Hall,
laugh at the idea of being beaten; and the Irish
American says that Woods majority will be
the largest ever given il. that city. It bases
its calculation upon the number of foreign
voters in the city and those that may in the
mean time be naturalized. 1t says, with i'm
pudent assurance: ii, lsa.5l7a
In addition to the large number of adopted
citizens who, almost scthout exception, voted for
him last year, ouer tsoo thousand hdue been natar-
allied since the present canvass commenced, and
of these it is not too much to say he will receive
the support Of ninety-nine out Of every hundred
As to the Irish of course this viii be the
case; but there will be some thousands OF
Germans, Scotch, French, and Swiss, who
have property, are conservative in their views,
in favor Of law, order, AMI security, and will
not be found herding with Tammany Hall and
the Irish, but uniting with the sober, sub
stantial American citizens; and we look for
ward, therefore, with strong hopes of their
triumph " - --------

PORTRAIT OF A CITY UNDER DEMO.

The fact was announced some days since OF
the determination of the wife Of Mr.. James o.
Brayman, lately sentenced to the State prison
for the post Office robbery in Chicago, to
accompany her husband to Alton, and to
remain there during his term Of Imprisonment
The resolve of Mrs. Brayman Is noble one,
and the sympathy Of every generous and feel
ing heart will be with her. A similar case
has recently occurred in Lorraine county,
Ohio. A man named Horace Fleming was
sentenced to the pententiary for larceny; his
wife, Mary Jane Fleming, Immediately made
an attempt to set fire to her house, delivered
herself up, and pleaded guilty of arson; she
did this for the purpose Of sharing her his.
bands captivity.
In connexion with these instances Of wo.
mans devotion, we may mention the singular
fact, communicated to us by a State prison
inspector of long experience, that during his
term of office only one husband of a prisoner
ever called at the prison to sec his wife. There
are, of course, many married women confined
for crime; but their husbands invariably dc.
sert them in their trouble. On the other
hand, a large majority Of the married male
prisoners are visited constantly and condoled
with by their sorrowing wives. And yet how
many Of these poor women have suffered
harshness and brutality at the hands Of their
criminal husbands Albany Statesman.
