Spring is the molher of the flowtts. :,

Spring is the mother OF the flowers. To
crown the beauty of the season, these blessed
emhlems of all that is lovely. bright And vir-N
tuous, unfold their tender petals TO adorn the
earth with natures own rencilling, and spread
npon the breeze delightful sweetness. Who
does not fee! revived in spirit when he gazes
upon the flowers? They speak to our sous
with voice of melody. Their eloqnedce
persuades us to lof;ier spirituality, to a
higher henevolence and purity.
But let us cease writing of the sprng-time
and unite in an anthem of praise and thanks
giving for her bountlful profusion.

We need not remind cur citizens that the
election for Mayor, Aldermen, Marshall and
Treasurer of this city comes off one week from
mex, Monday, and that il behooVes every good
citizen TO exert himself 10 secure the elevation
Of our yery best men 70 these important Offices.
We must confess that it would crafty US
much. if the citizens could come together and
agree upon good ticket, irrespective OF party;
but the experience OF the past has not been
calculated 10 inspire us viii the hope That
sach a qualification can be afforded us. II
will then Sevolye upon the Republicans to
nominate ticket which will command the
respect and support of the community. The
Democrats, we trust, will do the same, so that
in any event we may hope that the public IN
terests will be duly promoted, and the laws
faithfully and impartially executed. Wehope
especially, that men Of fair business capacity
az d experience, and wi'hall, prudent men, will
be placed in domination by both parties ,
who, while they will push forward prudently
and economically, all indispensable and prac-
tcable improvements, will at the same time,
bear constantly in nina that the years of our
corporate existence are few; that we can not
as yet compete with New York in the scale
and cost Of public improvements, and that the
times are hard and not speedily to be much
bet'e-. Let us then 60 in for men of good
character, fair abilities, and honest purposes.
