II was our intention to have written
an article upon tho demise of this popu-
lar author, (whose, early death, for he
was only in his forty ninth year, has
created such an excitement in tho literary
as well as the reading world) but our
brethren Of the press have so extensively
announced it, and furnished SO many incl
dents in connection with his personal and
literary history that it would be to repeat
what they have said, were we to undertake
it now. Still, there is one point we would
wish to touch upon, and as it is merely
literary "reminiscences our readers will not
be treated to an essay On the life, and liter
airy laws Of the great French Novelist. 1t
is a curious fact in the history Of the world
of letters, that it has its phrases and
changes as regularly as the sun Of true

ner Of Filth and Market Streets, Hanson
Hartman, Esq, is reelected Clerk of the
City Council. We arc glad to see this, not
only on account Of Mr.. llarman's worth

because be has been made the object upon
which this vile sheet has, for months past,
discharged much of the supcrabundance Of
its poisonous slang. 1t Gle My shows the

accomplish anything he undertakes. He
has never yet effected any object that re-
quircd other instruments for completion

bawdy hoise abuse. He is master of Jil.

Hartman can be traced to personal piquc

Being beaten, however, it is important
. to inquire into the CAUSES Of our lamenta-
bic defeat, The first and greatest, we
think, was the unusual interest taken in thu
election by the influential men of sh

with the masses, and unless extraordinary
efforts had been made, and every availa-
bic means employed by the former, very
little interest would have baeu taken IL
the contest by the latter. The means
most effective in political warfare is the
golden mean" and to the unsparing US,
Of such means we may chiefly attribute
our late discontinue.
Another cause which contributed great
ly to this result, was the change which has
been made in the manner Of receiving
taxes. Heretofore men WHO possessed pro.
perty, and whose taxes amounted to cou-
siderable sum, werc willing to lose their
votes in order to gain longer time for
their payment But this year. by attend
