New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1858-06-07


City Of New Orleans to-day Aysayor to be chosen
for two years Street Commissioner for tive years
and Aldermen and Assistant Adorned for the same
length Of time. These, together with the Alder
men and Assistants Who hold over, viii constitute
the Executive and Legislative Departments Of the
municipal government, thus making change. in men
at least II not in principles. Of the utmost moment
The names on the American ticket will pass muster
in any intelligent community, so far as the indispen
sable essentials Of responsibility capacity, industry
i and experience are concerned We think 1t fully
equal to that Of the Independents in every useful and
responsible respect although 1t does not combine
much wealth or many Of the favortes Of fortune.
Bnt the people have little care whether their mum.
cipal agents are milonaires or men in moderate cir
| cumsiances. They do want, however, men of tried
capacity and scrupulous integrity and in this regard
the American ticket may safely Challenge comparison
with any ticket that has, is or may be presented to
the public. Our candidate for Mayor is only a
printer, which epithet was sneeringly applied to
him shortly after his nomination but as Franklin
was 4only printer we suppose there is no great
crime in being printer He has however proved
himself remarkably useful as member Of the Board
OF Assistant Aldermen for two terms has been as
efficient and able Recorder as the city ever had and
in these various stations has acquired amount Of

We have thus glanced hurriedly at the materid Of
the American tlcket-from head to foot-in order
mat us merits may oe properly viewed on the day Of
election and not with the remotest idea Of making
injurious comparisons, or throwing surs upon the
independent tcket- some OF the hrst gentlemen

party no matter how strong, to defeat them. But,
