and who desires the restoration Of the party in
this State to its old ascendency, and who wishes
democratic succession to our present federal
administration, there is only one course to pur-
sue, and that is to vote the democratic ticket in
this approaching test election between the COM
bined elements of the opposition and the re-
united democracy.
For the practical purpose of dislodging the
democracy from this metropolis, the black re-
publicans have abandoned their party organiza-
ton, the Know Nothings have abandoned theirs,
and both these parties, with few scattering de-
serters from the democratic camp, are now
mingling together in this novel experiment of o
Peoples ticket" If this holy alliance is de-
feated, their game will be ended; but if they
should succeed in this election, their triumph
will be but the entering wedge of the new pro-
gramme for breaking up the democracy of the
State and of the Union. With a margin, how
ever, exceeding twenty three thousand majority
to work upon, the democracy have nothing to
fear from all their party enemies combined. Let
every democrat, however, who may incline to
the idea that this is but mere personal con-
test between Mr.. Wood and Mr.. Tiemann, re-
member the story Of the Trojan horse 1t had
the look of harmless affair, but it was full of
armed men, who opened the city gates to the
enemy, and the Greeks became the masters of
the place. In one word if the democracy would
hold this metropolis hereafter, they must hold
it in this approaching election against all the
appliances and false pretences of the enemy.

The greatest crime that has ever been commit
ted by Mayor Woodworking to the journals
that are opposed to hints his proposition to
buy fifty thousand barrels of flour with which
to feed the starving poor during the winter.
This is looked upon by the Wall street stock
jobbers who have nominated Mr.. Tiemann as a
most atrocious act Only think of it, Fifty
thousand barrels of -four for the poor and hun
cry! Any man who proposes to buy that guam
tity without paying to the Wall street stock
jobbers and gamblers their toll or difference of
exchange, ought to be sent to the State prison,
or be garroted, or hanged as high as Hannah.

CALcULATIoNs.-We have estimates from
every ward in thu city as to the probable re-
suit Of the ensuing charter election. We think
that the majority for the regular democratic
candidate for Mayor may run up to sixteen
thousand, but will not fall below twelve or thir-
teen thousand. 1t is quite certain that although
the odds and ends of the opposition may have
two or three of the broken down leaders, they
cannot get five hundred of the popular demo-
cratic votes, while large numbers of the rank and
file of the republican and American parties will
quit their old associates, refusing to be banded
about from one party to another, and sold like
sheep for the slaughter.

Our Municipal Election-The Great Issue

Our approaching municipal election will be
a very important one, and will involve greater
issues To the democracy than the election or the

The Troubles in N. Y. City.

Quite lengthy chapter of municipal diff
culties, INSTRUMENTATION, and misrule has taken
place in the usually quiet city of New York.
To give an account of all the arrests, acquit-
tails, riots and scenes that have transpired,
would occupy too much space; we therefore
give only the general outlines.
The Chicago Journal, commenting upon
the trouble, says:
The great commercial metropolis of the
country at this moment presents spectacle,
in its municipal government and politics, that
has no parallel in the history of American
municipalities. The mayor of the city takes
upon himself the responsibility of resisting
openly and by force, the laws of the state,
and of attempting to crush out, at any cost
or hazard, whatever comes in conflict with
his selfish ambition or perverted will. Thro
his agency blood has already been shed, and
serious collision threatened.
This course, on the part of city official
is as bold as it is unprecedented. The peace
of the community or the lives of the citizens
are alike disregarded, and all the horrors o.
anarchy and civil war are invited to usurr
the place of law and order-all for the sim
pie object of retaining an undue amount O
power that he is unworthy to WELD, and O
perpetuating his own personal and his party
ascendency!

The PERSON OF JESUS CHRIsT.-An epis-
tie written by Publius Lentulus, to the Ro-
man Senate, in the time of our Savior:
Conscript Fathers: There hath appear.
ed in these our days, man of great virtue,
named Jesus Christ, who is yet living among
lis, and of the Gentiles is accepted as proph-
ct of truth, but his own disciples call him
the Son of God. He raiseth the dead, and
cureth all manner of Diseases man of stat
ure somewhat tall and comedy, with very
reverend countenance, such as beholders may
both love and fear; his hair the color of a
filbert fully ripe, plain to the ears, whence
downward it is more orient of color, some
what curled and waved about his shoulders.
In the midst of his head is seam or parti-
ton of his hair, after the manner of the Naz-
arites; his forehead plain and delicate; his
face without spot or wrinkle, beautiied with
a comely red; his nose and mouth exactly
formed; his beard thick, the color of his hair,
not any great length, but forked; his look in
nocent, his eyes gray, clear and quick. In
reproving, terrible; in admonishing, courte-
ous; in speaking, very modest and wise. In
proportion of body well shaped. None have
seen him laugh, many have seen him weep
A man for his singular beauty surprising the
children of men.
