COOS up, except wages; so that the excess Of
expenditures to support an extravagant city
government comes in reality as much In pro-
portion from the pockets Of the poor as from
the purses Of the rich The poorer classes are
the base Of our voting population, and they
can send just such men to the City Half as they
think ft. How important is it, then, that they
should select proper men to represent them;
that they should throw aside party feeling
altogether, and resolve to adopt such men
as candidates for the Board Of Aldermen
and Common Council as may be best calcu-
lated to bring about retrenchment in our city
expenditures, to discountenance prohig ,cy and
corruption In giving out city contracts, to re-
duQe the taxes OF the city, and to make tho
burthen of taxation, inseparable from vigor-
GUS prosecution Of the war, as light as posi-
BILE upon themselves and upon all the citizens
Of the metropolis. Let them shut the door
closely on politics and political schemers, and
let them unite with all other good citizens In
placing the Corporation in the hands of sound,
honest and conscientious men. Then we shall
have an economical administration OF our city
government and one free from the faint Of
official pollution.

RESPONSIBILITY OF RAILROAD COMPANIES
The recent examination into the causes of the
late disaster on the New Haven Railroad dis
closes some very alarming facts. 1t seems that,
according to one witness, the condition Of the
road was very rough; that he had broken three
seats in the train himself in six months on this
account; that there are several bad places on
the road-one between the junction and
Williams bridge; there were rotten ties and
rails which had no solid rest except on the
ground; spikes stuck out as much as two
inches, and the track bent down about an
inch; the rails were so loose IN some places that
be (the witness) had kicked them aside from
the chairs, or fasteners; much of the iron ia bad
and unfit to remain on the ties; "some OF tho
iron which was broken was so bad that any one
would shudder to think he had ridden over
it If he understood the full amount Of tho
danger" This testimony furnishes some in
sight into the condition of q railroad track
which sh oald be in as good condition as any in
the country. But the truth is our old rail-
roads are in many places absolutely worn out
and next to useless, except for the amount OF
injury they can infct upon passengers. We
repeat that the companies should be held to
strict accountability and be subjected to heavy
pecuniary damages for all injury to person and
property that occurs upon their roads. The
Legislature OF the State should take this matter
into its earliest and most earnest consideration.
It should compel the companies to exercise the
strictest supervision in regard to the condition
of the tracks prior to the passage Of every
passenger train. BY this means the travelling
community Would be relieved from that dis
agreeable sensation Of danger, unhappily too
frequently realized, which occurs while pass
ing at rapid pace over some Of our most used
as we'll as most rickety railroad thoroughfares.
This is = very important subject and the
members elect to the approaching session Of
the Legislature cannot do better than to begin
to prepare themselves at once with facts and
data about the dangerous condition Of these
railroads, so that when the time comes they
can talk and act understandingly on tho sub
ject.

the citizens Of New York will be called upoa
to vote for commissioners and trustees whose
duty 1t Is. under the direction Of the Board Of
to attend to the selection Of school teachers.
Under the new law the Mayor is to appoint
seven school inspectors, and, At q proper time,
seven commissioners. This imposes new and
important responsibility upon the chief magis-
trate Of this city. The experience Of tho past
twelve months has been anything but. Hatter-
ing to the decision OF our voters on the subject
ments connected with our public school sys-
tenn, or, rather, concerning some of its attaches,
which have been shocking to ths'moral sense
Of the community, and aroused an irrepres-
sible feeling Of indignation against the per-
pctrators. These instances Of immortality
arose from the loose and dangerous mode Of
nominating school trustees at ward or district
meetings. 1t is we'll for the bone and sinew to
be well represented on the school ticket-for
there are many cases where honest merit In
shirt sleeves is Of more benefit to juvenile edu-
cation than intellectual Incidence in ruf1ed
shirts. But all classes should have fair re-
presentation. Our public school system is no
political machine, that may be run by Tom,
Dick or Harry, without regard to future con-
sequences; but IL is an institution Of this free
land, which prospers and Is Of benefit accord
ing to the amount Of integrity and intelligence
infused into it. In order to secure this end,
and to purge the system Of the corruptons that
have been allowed to creep into Il, every man
who has children to educate should see thai
good men are selected for school commission
ers and trustees; for upon them rests the
responsibility Of the appointment Of teachers.
who, in every case, should be selected tpr their
moral worth, as we'll a. for their abilities to
mould and expand the youthful mind. Many
citizens have Withdrawn their children from
the public schools in consequence Of the bad
character which attaches to some Of the teach
ers; but there are others who are obliged 10
send their offspring to the public schools or see
them grow up In ignorance In the public
streets, perfect in nothing but gutter know
ledge. This condition of things should not and
need not be allowed. II can be readily RENE
died If our citizens abjure politics 10 every
shape in selecting their candidates for school
officers. Let them nominate their best men,
and let the "best men win"

interior Of the empire, our progress has been
slower, still within the last half dozen years
We have made considerable Roadway. The
emigration to California Of shoals Of its laborers
and artifcers has undoubtedly helped us good
deal. These people return to their own coun-
try with little fortunes, the fruits Of their
industry here, and they become so many mis-
sonariss for the spread Of information regard
ing those whom 1t has been their habit to style
"the barbarians Of the outer world" Then the
fact that the Chinese are compelled to have
recourse to us for officers to organize and disci-
plne their troops, and for war steamers to
penetrate the rivers which are still
held by the rebels, is also having its
effect upon their government. The lesson ad.
ministered to It at Pekin opened its eyes
to the unpleasant fact of its capital not being
beyond the reach Of foreign Powers. All
these things are producing their fruits, and the
first and most important Of them is the convic-
ton which is being forced upon both the gov
eminent and people Of China that they can no
longer maintain their exclusive policy. The
rebellion once put down, we believe that there
will be but little difficulty Ia persuading them
to take larger and more rational views Of their
duties as members Of the great family of ma
lions. When this comes to pass, as Il soon
must, It's effect upon the prosperity Of the

WHITE SLAVES.

1t is of the greatest importance to
the workingmen of the United States
to understand the true sentiments and
objects of the leading traitors of the
South. Their opinions of workingmen
who earn their support by their
daily labor-are clearly set forth in the
following extract from the speech Of
Mr.. Hammond, of South Carolina, in
the Senate ofthe United States, on the
4th of March, 1858.
Gin all social systems there must be

form the drudgery of life-that is, a
class requiring but q low order of in

We ought to implore God that He
would give TO us, and to every one
like minded with US, great grace, wis
dom and courage, that we may be en-
abled to stand in our lot, and come
good or i'll, quit ourselves like men,
unto the uttermost. That He would
of His great mercy, give grace and
sense to The uisluyal men and women
scattered over the land, and mixed
with the loyal people, to see the great
wickedness and danger Of the princi-
pies they cherish, and the practice
they encourage; SO that they may re-
pent thereof and turn to a better way.
That He would coniouhd the counsels.
and break the ehdeavors Of all open
rebels against the life of this nation
which God has set up and enlarged,
and against it's Government, which
God has ordained; and TO show his
Wonderful compassion to them as to
keep them from perpetrating all fur
thef mischief, and to turn them from
their dreadful sin and folly. That
He would 50 order, in His great good
ness, that all in authority among us
may be kept from evil way, and from
every purpose unworthy Of the great
necessity laid upon It's and the great
end set before us; so that complete
triumph and lasting peace may be
speedily secured for US, by means Of
which Gcd will o*n and bless. That
God, having fitted the nation for COM

Il, would incline and enable all men
to walk in such ways of wisdom, jus
tice and humanity, that all the re.
suits of this frightfhl struggle shall
turn To the glory of His adorable
name; and that the evils Of these
troublous times may pass utterly away,
and return no more. forever, while the
good that God will bring out of. them,

may be a perpetual inheritance, to

TO make "whIte slaves" ofthem all
There are many other advocates Of
the doctrine of Senator Hammond
which can be produced. ,..u.I
These things being true, | charge:
lst. That the rebellion Of the South
Carolina traitors is an attempt to de-
stroy the interests of the Democratic
working classes Of the Union. .
I'd. That it is an effort to build up
forever a system by which "Capital
shall .oHn labor" T
Sd. That it is an attempt to make
slavery-and property in slaves-the
controlling interest OF the Union.
4th. That Slavery is, and from its
nature must be, the deadly enemy Of
Free Lrbor. IN t-1
9th That the success Of the traitors
will be deathblow 10 the interests Of
Free Workingmen, North and South.
9Th That self.interest and patriot
ism both call upon Workingmen to
stand by the government firm as a
rock, till the rebellion is put down
and peace restored by the constitu
tional authorities.
