CRY REFoRN-THE TAXPAYERS MEETING
A very infueStial meeting Of taxpayers was held
on Tuesday evening at the Academy Of Design
in which quite a considerable number Of the
largest owners of real estate in the city par
ticipated.
The decision Of the majority Of the meeting.
that no nominations for city Offices should lie
made. met with iii favor from some of the parties
present; but il may be- after ALL the wiscst poll
cy not to nominate any candidates just now. but
TO wait patiently until the nominations of the
different factions are made, which will be in a
few days and then endorse and sustain by every
means the best men 10 be found among them.
II these party nominations do not embrace the
right kind Of men il will be time enough then
for the Taxpayers Association TO put up their
own candidates.
Among other proceedings Of tho meeting re-
ferred TO was an endorsement Of the course
Of the Joint Committee Of Accounts, which
has for the past eighteen months been dig
ging up all the frauds out Of the depth
Of corruption in which the affairs Of the city
finances are plunged. aud helping to bring the
perpetrators to Justice. The meeting resolved to
supply funds to Mr.. Franklin to enable him to
carry ON the good work "to the end Of
the chapter until every rogue was ferreted out
and indicted. The present Common Council will
make no more appropriations for the expenses
of the Joint Committee: and If out Of the Taxpay-
crs' Association no more good cmanatcs than sup
plying the money out of it, own funds for that
purpose, II will have accomplished much. We
understand that the association has assured Mr..
Franklin, the chairman, that no money he may
require in continuing his Investigations shall be
wanting. In this way, at least, the wealthy pro-
perty owners can help themselves efficiently, and
We arc glad that they have resolved on doing
so Let the exposures and indictments be
pressed on, and the Corporation Offices will soon
become too hot even for the conscienccless rascas
who aspire TO them.
II is to be regretted that the taxpayers did
not move earlier in this matter. Had they done
SO, We might have been spared the humiliation
Of SEEING nearly four columns Of an advertise

raj combination called the Peoples party; while
In our New York November election, Mr. Seward,
in refusing coalition with the Know Nothings
has left in his rear balance Of power which for
bids him to claim the vote Of the Empire State
az Presidential candidate. So, in Hi
nois, Mr. Douglas has succeeded there upon
the very issues "anti-Lecompton,' anti-Eng
Gsh bill" popular sovereignty" &c.-which
have given the opposition their increase of
Congressman in the other great Northern States
All the practical Kansas thunder Of the republi-
cans in Illinois was appropriated by Douglas;
and thus he has, doubtless, secured from outside
sympathy support which renders his vote
stronger than that Of the democratic party. We
learn, from very respectable source, that Mr..
Crittenden's letter of sympathy in behalf OF
Douglas (among the Illinois Know Nothings)
turned the scale in his favor. But this was
move of Crttenden against Seward on the one
hand and the administration party on the other;
and the idea, we presume, was that the success
of Douglas would be a damaging blow to Seward,
and sort of unmanageable elephant to the dis
tracted democracy.
We expect, therefore, that the first month of
the approaching session Of Congress will show
that the opposition leaders and managers. North
and South, are all adrift, without any rccog-
nized head or base of operations, and that the
late delusive victory of Mr.. Douglas will have to
be, not bond of union, but the bone of conten-
ton which will aggravate instead of healing
the discussions among the democracy. We APP
prehend, indeed, that there are many powerful
men in the democratic camp who would rather
risk the overthrow of the party than consent,
after all that has happened toplay second fiddle
to Mr.. Douglas.
In short with the democracy and with the
opposition the first necessity is reorganization,
and the next a candidate. and line of operations
for 1860. which cannot be determined until we
shall have had the Developments and the practi-
cal issues of the approaching and the succeeding
sessions of Congress. The slavery agitation
created by the administration of poor Pierce is
exhausted. and the results, not of the Illinois
election but of Mr.. Buchanan's administration
upon which the democracy must stand or fall
are still in the future.
