THURSDAY, AUGUST 1,-1861.
Support the Union.
On Tuesday we noticed', &ith a striking ex
tract eh the death of tried and pure patriots,
more especially referring to the late Senator
Douglas, the eloquent and argumentative
't’ourtli-of July address delivered by G. I!'.
Ward, Esq., of Towanda, Bradford county, at
in tlie same part of the country.
We now take leave, though this thoughtful
oration was not intended for publication, to
make.some farther extracts. :
After a very clear'and graphic picture ol
the'height Of prosperity which had boon at
tained by our country prior to the commence
ment of the present unnatural rebellion, the
address concludes with the following forcible
summary of the ovils which'tvould result from
destroying the existing organization. We
earnestly commend it to the perusal of all who
are yot hesitating. in their loyalty .to - the
present Government, and the noble efforts it
is making, to maintain the integrity of the
Union:
' X bays thua ende&Volred to ■ eitiibit the souroeS
of the national prosperity, iu.whSoh tro rioted, as
it were, only & few moHtnft tibfio, as consisting in
the freedoKt of irar country ; the industry and in
telligence of our people ;■ out .limitless resources,,
and our manifest advahtages of commercial inter
course with a divided and warring world. Bat
there is yet another element tif ofcr'uappiness and
prosperity aS a nation, whioh is far more potent
than all these : it is the advantage or encourage
ment affordedby the idea of strength and peroia
neno9, resulting from a steadfast maos of these
powerful States, under an adequate and stable
Government. To this, and tho virtue of onz peo
ple, under the blasting of HeaVen, are we more
indebted than to eVery oth’er oirSdmstance or rela
tlon. Take from us all else beside; steep us in
poverty fo the very lips; let ohr soil be made
barren, and onr tky bo perpetually overoast;
cripple ail the Wings of ©hr wide spread commerce,
hud 'crowd eur borders with an armed foe ; still,
baited and virtuous, we might laugh the world to
sooru.
Bat, os th« oontrary, break tbe bonds of oar glo
rious politiosl f&brio in twain, and all oar proud
privileges and distinctions as a nation will perish
beneath Its rains! Let theJ&nionbeloH, find ALT.
is hosTlndustry would then lose its inaentive,
and stand appalled; onr commercial marine would
ihonldor and deoaf at out desolate wharves; the
busy hdik of the shattlo would subside in our fac
tories ; the fires in our forges find fnrnaoes would
pale, and many a plodgh Be staged in. its furrow.
Poverty and famine would stalk abroad through
out the land; and violonoo and crime would dog
tltiih footstops. Then, to fill up the measure of
our country’s wretchednoss, _war, civil wah—
the most sanguine and brutal under Heaven,
would bo let loose, its tiger-tooth" dripping with i
the best blood of our citizens. The smoke of j
destruction worH. fmflg Over our eities as over the j
doomed cities tf the past, and the wild shouts of !
rage, and the shrieks of madness and despair, go !
up from our depopulated valleys! When all these |
accumulated horrors terminated, it would natu- i
rally, if not inevitably, be in the sad sullenness of I
despotism, In the silent darkness of slavery, un
der some daring military despot, whom, perhaps, |
an army of our oWn sons and brothers had placed i
in dominion over the mins of the Kepublio ! The
clank of fetters would ring Where we were wont to
hear the glad songs of freedom, and the darkest
and moßt loathsome Shade of infamy would brood |
over the land of Washington.
This gloomy ploture of disunion and its fatal
fruits, my friends, iB not the exhalemeut of an ex
cited imagination or a distempered fancy. I wish
to Heaven it mere mob, and only such. But no:
tbey are simply the scenes, in their full. maturity,
which are now beginnlng-fSlriJreak upon our view i
in several of the Southern States of this Union.
Bach morning's gleaming sunlight brings new re
velations of those dark and dreadful shadows,
rising up, one after, another, in grim and ghastly
array. Bvory breeze from the South comes to us
laden with the din of arms and the clangor of
battle; of Uaml* between brothers of the Same
lineage, and sharing the same goodly heritage left
by patriotia fathers; of eattlts waged men on the
giddy hmghts —”~'
is thief I will give,.what I appre
hend to bo the true answer to this question, fear
lesaiyand frankly.-. This is no time for anything
bat bold, honest words and works. I reply, then, |
these impending horrors are the mingled rpsultaof
a hoatedi pragmatloal fanatioism on the one hand, |
and of nnohastoned and overweening ambition,
culminating in open treason, on the other. In
■regard to the oourso Of tbo Southern leaders of
this rebellion, (for such, in truth, it is,) I have
nothing left to offer, either in defenoe or pallia
tion For years past, many of you have hoard
me plead earnestly and ogam, the cause of the
South as against the mad clamors of Aboli
tionism. In regard to their system of servi
tude I have said always, as I 000 tend even
now that it should be left where our fathers
left it by the Constitution—to the consciences
of the people of the Several States, and of the
organized Territories, to be regulated by looal
law Having abolished Afnoan servitude our
selves- if the system be a .sm, wo have not to an.
swer for it' if an evil, we suffer not under it. But
whatever may have beon the various theories upon
this question- as held by Individual members of
the political parlywhich presented Abraham Bln
coin for the Presidency,rithe South has no just
ground of complaint in the premises. Throe new
Territories have been admitted into the Union as
States since his advent to power, Without any in
.vidious restriction whatever; and, as far as I have
observed, the public laws have all been faithfully
enforced- ■ ■
The doctrine, now sought to be carried out,
that a State has a right to secede and break op the
Union at will, is everyway absurd and untenable
There stands the plain, written oompaot of oar
fathers: to that compact, after doe deliberation,
and after haring fairly tried a less tenacionsliga
ment of union, they solemnly subscribed, and s®
bound their sons. Its blessings and its : benefits
have been seen and felt throughout long years of
peace and boundless prosperity. The only honest
and legitimate mode of Changing any of Its condi
tions, is pointed out with the utmost dearness, in
the noble instrument ltseif. Those, then—oomo
they from North or South—who openly refuse, or
covertly neglect to comply with any of its behests,
not’only dishonor the manes and memory of their ,
fathers, but are guilty of striking at the most be
neficent form of government on the face of the
earth-’ ■
The path of the upright American patriot in the
present ; crisis is as oloarly open before him as if
traoed with sunbeams. He should adhere faith
fully .to all the compromises and concessions—all
the principles and provisions of the Constitution. .
To the innumerable evils I have already advert
ed to, as following in the, train of a divided Con
federacy, we may add, a meagre, looal traffic; a
flag unknown and nnrespeoted on th© seas; do-:
mostio sedition and intestine hrpils, mocking the
headlong violence of the seceding Btates them
selves; a comparatively feeble army, yet with in
creasing conflict, all around and within okr bor
ders! O, ,who >®» be so weak or wicked, as to
haaard all these evils, that now beholds floating
above his head those glorious old stars and stripes,
which have always compelled, respect throughout
the world; who finds peace and social order at
home, scoured equally to the whole Union, by an
irresistible power; who, I^ay—seeing and feeling
all this, and more in its favor—will not ding with
unfaltering devotion to the common hopes, the
common flag, and common destiny of the American
Union? . ■
Divide this magnificent oountry ! How, and: by
what lice? Not, Barely, by the dark domarka- I

Tho Hreat Architect of the Onivorso made this

- -To the Editoe of the PBESB—SiR One
of the ihoSt Important elements required for
th? suppression of the present unnatural re
bellion against the Cpnstitution/and lavs of
the country is an abundant supply of money,
and, to secure this independent of all e&ra.
neons assistance, should,be thoiflrst objoct of
consideration. , ' n
The* heavy debt already
that which- will _',bef incurred, in suppressing;
this rebellion; roußt be paidby the wealth! of
the eountry, and not by its labor!' Ihete is
no sophism in this; fdr though wealth Is often
acquired by labor, those; generally speaking.’
who enjoy the most wealth perform the >least
labor, andj i,conversely, : those Who laber tho
most have the least wealth. . '
The labor of our country will be fullyroar
presented*;by .the .brave arid hardy,son's of
’freedom Who, in their own porsons, will go
forth th exterminate this hydra of
suffering all things and enduring all things,,
oven to wounds, imprisonment, or death, so
they can leave to posterity the . rich legacy of
Civil and religious liberty bequeathed to thorn,
by the mercy of God, through the bravery ©f
their noble and patriotic ancestors; : , . .
The wealth of the land must,
represented infnnnsbing these self-sacrificing
heroes with every comfort and ■ requirement
that money can procure, for carrying on their
operations; and the first'and most Important
subject of consideration is the measaresthat
should be adopted for this purpose, so as to bear
justly on,* every citicen,• and thit-oach. shall;
pay his fair proportion, and no.more.-
This object cannot be attained by any tariff
that may be devised; for the, revenues from
imposts are always in proportion to the amount
of the articles consumed. Hence, if the duty
oh articles of general consumption, is mate
rially increased, the Consumption of those ar
ticles is proportionallyßestricted, hr It.'may. be,
entirely prohibited; and the scheme of ob
taining a revenue by such means will prove
an entire failure! In failing to obtain a rev'e.
niie in this-manher, however; a serious injury
is inflicted on onr trade, commerce, and mauut
factnros, besides the suffering of pnr Cliisehsy
in thns being deprived of necessary comforts.'
For instance, it is apparent that, in conso
queues ef the general stagnation of ; business
great numbers of our people, will be deprivet
of the means of earning their dally bread ; and
yet it is proposed materially to increase the .
duty on sugar, tea, and coffee. . These have
ceased to be articles; of luxury, and;,by con
stant, general use, have become matters of
absolhtenecesslty. Thepeor man, whb eams
one dollar per day, or ten to’fffteen dollars per
.month, with a wife and ten children, pays four
of thisdntv as the'riclhmiUiQlUl:
families are~cqmmj iy»u«>ivui>»uuuiTJOnßimiK .
tion the same,-"their taxes would be equal;
ThisydfdCcbtild be carried out, would not b«
just: but it cannot be carried out, for the poof
swill not have money to purchase these arti
cles, thus materially increased in price. Re
sort will be had to the maple, the beet, and
the Chinese sugar cane, for sugar; rye, as in
former years, will beused as a substitute for
coffee: and the health-giving herbs oi our
forests and fields will supersede imported teas.
Thus the masses will be deprived of these ne.
cessary comforts; the revenues of the country
will not be Increased; but a serious injury, as
above stated, will be inflicted on the trade,
commerce, and manufactures of offr Country.
Articles of home product, which are generally
bartered for these commodities, wilt no longer
bo in demand; our carrying trade Would be
proportionally affected ;..and we.should meur
needlessly the hostile feelings of those with
whom this trade would thus summarily aua
unnecessarily he broken up. The duty on
i sugar, tdoTeover, Js a bounty to those of th©
i revolted States that raise that- article, and
strengthens their hands in the'present unnatu
ral rebellion. * - ■- ■ . .. I
These'evils may, all >be avoided byoadopting I
the'‘following simple system, which seems
sufficient for all onr necessities in the present
crisis, to wit: .. . „ , |
Regulate the tariff so as to reduce articles I
of general consumption to the lowest possible
rate, consistent with revenue sufficient for the
ordinary expenses of the Government, and an
incidental protection to onr own manufactures.
Increase the duty to a high protective rate on |
fine cloths, flue woollen and cotton fabrics,
fine cutlery, silks, velvets, wines, brandies, and
spirits of all kinds, laces, and all articles of
luxury. By these means the manufactures of I
flue woollen and cotton fabrics in this country
will be sustained, and the establishment en-.l
couraged of factories of silks, velvets, laces,
2cc© - I
In fact, this tariff should bear as light-1
ly as possible on all articles of general use
among the great masses of the people, and so
regulate the entire revenue as to make It sum-1
clent for all the ordinary expenses of the Go
vernment in time ofpeace, exclusive, entirely,
of 'all ’ extra ‘ expenses of J the’ army and navy. ■ 1
To meet the expenses of the war, let the
loyal States apportion the entire debt which
has been or may bo incurred among them
selves, in proportion to their wealth, as shown I
by the census returns. -Each State, under I
authority ot its Legislature, to issue notes ef
the denomination of five dollars and upwards,
bearing interest at five per cent, till redeemed,
to the amount ot its apportionment ot tbo war
debt. Tho Legislature to impose a tax on real
and personal property, money at interest, I
stocks of all kinds, Ac., sufficient to liquidate 1
their portion of such debt and interest within |
twenty yearsj specifying, particularly, the war I
tax, so that it shall not interfere with the or- I
dihary taxes for the expenses of the State Go
vernment, and providing that the notes thus I
issued shall be received in payment of the war
this policy, direct tax will be imposed
by tbo people of the several States, through I
their immediate, representatives, and will be
cheerfully paid. Our domestic policy will be
carried out, our foreign relations of trade and
commerce fully sustained, ; and our manu
factures encouraged to the utmost possible
extent..-: - * * . . . ' ...
The State notes can be issued as needed,—
classified, and made redeemable at specified
times, so that each class can certainly be
redeemed at tho time Hx.B&> by the fuuu
dedicated to that purpose. .
The several States can pay their apportion-)
ment of the war debt in those notes to the
General Government; and belore paying them |
out, the Government to guaranty their ultl- ;
mate redemption—aud by act of Congress the
public lands and tho proceeds of thoße lands to i
be pledged as collateral security for such re-
thus guarantied, will furnish
a medium of exchange and for circulation for
the-whole country; will be a good and sue
Investment- and by having taxes levied suffi
cient to pay the whole in twenty years, with
the Government guaranty, these notes will
alw&vs be about par. All graduation laws of
the prices of the public lands should he re
pealed, and a guaranty given, that those lands
should not bo sold for less than ten shillings
per acre, till alter thirdebt was wholly paid j
and all pension aud bounty-land laws should
be extended to the officers and soldiers of this
The above is only a skeleton outline of the
plan, from which, however, a bill can easily be.
drawn, filling out the whole scheme, it
would evidently.be desirable to have a new
bureau connected with the Treasury, War
and Navy Departments, to he. called the War
Finance: Bureau, and to have charge of all the
financial arrangements: for this war.

[Por Tho Press.]
At the beginning of our present troubles
(while, in Congress, tho Government was
being opposed by the Southern faction, and
before tho present Southern loaders had
openly taken the stops which wore to prove
therh the perjurers and thieves, par excellence ,
of the age) the probable course of tho so-call
ed Border States formed the subject of much
conjocturo and many fears. .
The geographical position of these States is
such that a victorious North, or. vindictive
South, it' opposed to'thoni, couldinuict groat
injury. Their interests seemed to be divided.
Largely agricultural, their productions are, in
some instances, those of slaves, and, in other,
those ofTreomen. Add to this that tho brecd-
ing of slaves, as a business, employs a large
part of their capital, and the fact that their
population contained some of the most viru
lent advocates of the treasonable councils of
Davis, Toombs, and Yancey, and it will not
bo difficult to account for the oscillation be
tween loto of the South and fear‘of tho North
that tho councils of the Border
States.
The sequol proved'that-the feara of the
North regarding those States were not ground
less; Maryland and Missouri were not safe to
tha Union until the traitors within their bor
ders were awed by the presence of a military
forco sufficient, if necessary, to destroy-thom.
Virginia has proclaimed herself out :of , the-
Union) and is now arrayed in,arms against Jhe
Government. -
In all these States there has been an appa
rent above-board dealing with the issues now
before the nation, which ought to Bhame the
double-dealing ot Kentncky, evidently glory
ing in the ambiguous and anomalous position
her Secession Governer is endeavoring; to
maintain. When President Lincoln issued his
-first requisition for troops, the Governors of
the Border States severally returned replies,
in some cases impertinent, in all unsatisfac
tory. ‘They evidently desired to be in and out
of the Union at the same time, and, in this,
Magoffin stands no worflo than the others;
'.The treatment he has received from the au
thorities at Washington 'is, however, excep
tional and,- hence, objectionable. When the
Government desired to move^,, troops, Dela
ware, Maryland, and Missouri were-not suffer
ed to resist their onward march. Kentucky,
the home of Breckinridge, was.allowed to do.
so. Evidently oblivious of the old. truth, that,
au open enemy is moro . easily dealt with than
a lukewarm friend, and that. a man. cannot
-servo two masters, Kentucky has, to this
day, been permitted to forbid the passage of
the Union lorces over the Ohio. She has not
alone thus protected the Sesessionists of Ten
nessee and, the Southern interior, but has suf
fered the mustering of her-own citizens as re
cruits ior the rebel ranks ;-discouraging the
friends of Union, while smiling at the minions
-of. rebellion. .The violations, by her citizens,
of the Federal prohibition of mails and sup
plies to the Southern Confederacy are. so gla
ring and frequent, apd the profits derived from
this illicit traffic so large, that it may well be
questioned whether the «thirty pieces oi sil
ver,” for which the Louisville merchants seem
willing to betray their country and to sell
their liberties, are not the grand temptation to
these wholesale iniractions of law, going-far to."
.weaken the Government where it should, of
necessity, be powerful. .
Bo it from a senseless fear of irritating the
affected “ thin-skinnedness” of “anti-coer
cion”'polHicians, ignorant of the Teal state of
afliurs -r in Kentucky, or the belief that the
Louisville merchants, after-having ploased.the
Confederates to the . extent of their treasure.
Will bo content to. return with their State to
the bosom of their forgiving mother, the
Union, the Administration have permitted this
state of affairs to continue unchecked and un
rebuked. ■ ,
It were folly to believe that ignorance ol
theso things causes the apparent indifference
with which the commander of our army at the
West permits their continuance. An imme
diate advance beyond the Ohio river should
bo ordered. It is absolutely necessary that
the line between East and Middle Tennessee,
and between Kentncky and the rebellious por
tions of Tennessee, he guarded by .an ,invinci
ble military police. , , - .
There is no just ground on which Ken-,
tnckians can object to the passage of Federal
troops through their ’ Slate. If the present
distracted condition of Virginia moves them
■to. refose.to allow Kentncky to be made the
1 battle-gVound'of; opposing armies,- let* it be
-1 told them that if Virginians had been lor the
| Union as Kentuckians profess to. be, things
i would have-been otherwise.' '.lFthey>then op

■WashisOioh, July" 30,1861.
Ono of tha most senseless arguments that I
have seen tor .some time, is that of
more S«», of this morning, attempting to
prove that the Confederate States are not
waging war against the United States, nor at
tempting to destroy its Government. If our
Constitution meaps anything, and the pa
triots of 1787 had any definite object in view,
it was to form a "perfect Union”.for them
selves and their posterity. An inevitable de
duction from their action is, that no portion of -
the Union can declare its independence from
the other, nor can the natural copartnership
bo dissolved, except upon the terms indicated
in the constitutional articles of agreement.
Two-thirds of the States, as parties .in.inte
rest, may lawfully propose an ultimate dissolu
tion or changes; but it requires three-fourths
of them to confirm all such propositions, and
the wishes of any smaller number can have no
influence or binding obligation upon - the
others. The comparison which,the Saw at
tempts to institute between the assertions of,
the Declaration of Independence, affirriung the
necessity ' 1 for one people to dissolve the poli
tical ties which have connected them with
another,” thus assuming separate and equal
station, and the action of the seceded. States
in declaring their independence, is, indeed,
the " veriest twattlo.” We are one people,
and “the laws of nature .and of nature s
God.” and « a decent respect for theopimons
of mankind”’ require that onr unity shottld
be preserved. The old Roman, when he re
cited to the revolted populace the iable of the
body and its members, developed the philoso
phy and the theory of republican government,
and as such it has always been received.. The
rebellions South takes an extreme opposite
ground, and contends that each limbrof the
body politic may dissever itself. If a dis
ordered stomach causes the head to ache, the ,
head may out itself off i : All this is the most;
consummate folly, as argued by th° f «n, in
the interest of the rebellious States. £0
sophistry can cover, the fact that the pen-,
federate -States have initiated the strife,
and to say'that they are not “ wagwg.war
is simply an absurdity. They commenced the
war upon the' United States by the bombard
ment of Fort Sumpter, and we might as well
say that the footpad who presents his pistol to
a traveller’s breast, and rifles bis pockets, is
hot committing an assault, if subsequently he
should attempt to gag his captive and tie him
toatroo. IVilh the attack on .Sumpter wo
bad the declaration that the Confederate flag
should wave over this capital, and perhaps
over the cradle of liberty at Boston. The
efforts to carryout these boasts cannot_be
characterized as anything else bht " waging
war,” and to dignify the treason as a struggle
to secure independence is a monstrous per
version of terms and facte; ; ..
The complications produced by such falße
reasoning aB I have noticed, and the attempt
to place the United States in an aggressive
Attitude, and to impart to the rebellions Con
federacy the dignity of an assertion of rights
invaded or immunities attacked, must seriously
embarrass tho hope ot an amicable settlement
oi our difficulties, iAs long as treason is de
fiant, and takes the.tone of virtue; as long as
traitors are landed as patriots, and the parri
cides who would destroy the. Government are
depicted as an army of chivalrous men," wao
know their rights, and knowing, dare main r
tarn/’ every avenue to adjustment must be
effectually barred. One of the results of this
perverted feeling in favor ottraitors, and the
mock sentimentality which colors their treason
inthe hue of patriotism, was developed;, yes
terday in the refusal to suspend the rules .for
the introduction of the resolution proposed by
the Hon. Samuel S. Cox, of Ohio. I< the is
sues between,the Confederate and the United.
States were fairly acknowledged, and it was
confessed that the South, acting under ex
citement, delusion, or mistaken ideas of
duty, was likely to be reclaimed by kind
treatment, although - the first proposition
tor peace ought to come from those
who commenced the war, still , I have
no doubt the Houbo would have
justice with mercy, and considered the reso
lutions looking to the appointment of ,a Peace
Commission, composed of distinguished men
ftom the loyal States, to meet Commissioners
from ? fche Confederate States. But the Con
gress of the United States has already -de
clared'its determination not to interfere with
the institutions of the South, now or hereaf
ter, and has solemnly asserted that its object
in prosecuting the war is not subjugation, or
coercion, or aggression, but simply the deter

when it is denounced as having the desire to. (
establish a military dictatorship, and the Prer i

[for Th©;Prea> ]
Mr. Editor : In your paper of July .18th,
an article over the, signature of “.Caution,”
respecting the cliaractor and ability of the
head of the Wator Department, is so untrue in
its promises, and so unjust in its conclusions,
that I cannot let it pass without notice. He
insinuates that the Chief Engineer has given
the contract for pumps to a firm in the State
ot Delaware, and that no one of tho several
works Undertaken, by him has been finished.
He has made no contract with any firm in
Delaware, and he has finished two out of three
works recommended _by him, and they are
now in constant use, viz: tho Broad-street main
and the Corinthian-avenue Basin;: and the
third and last thiDg recommended by him, the
Mill Honse and machinery, will be finished in
November. .“In all cases- the . estimates
have been exceeded to a fearful extent.’ 3 ,
This we simply say is untrue, and challenge
“ Caution 33 to prove his allegation. No
estimate of tho mill-house asat is built was
ever made by the Chief Engineer, nor ever I
i Was there one made of the Corinthian-.!
, avenue basilfi-as it was' built, and the Chief
I Engineer had the entire f approbation of the
former and the present committee of water
Works in lJ&th instances: Tbe only,work done
according to tho estimate and plan of .the En
gineer, was the Broad-street main, which, cost
some $ll,OOO less than the estimate. “ Cau
tion ” says such onormous discrepancy really,
appears incredible, yet an inspection of tho
records of Council for the last three years will
show tho fact. I deny this allegation, and
challenge the writer to tho proof. The writer
then asks, is it safe to entrust parties capable
of making such gross errors with the expen
diture of the amonnt proposed to be appro
priated to the Water Department'? No errors
have been made, and the expenditure of all
moneys entrusted to tho care of the Chief
Engineer has been. made to the entire satis
faction of both former, in as
resolution to Councils, so expressed them
selves. With a single exception, lie lias noiwj
the entire approbation of the present com-j
nuttee. • ■ •' • „ r , ■ J
Wo will merely glance at the Chief Engl
user’s administration. In the three years
ending in 1860, he has increased the receipts,
neariy half a million of dollars. He has di
minished the expenses every year since ho
ha’s been an incumbent. The cost of pump
ing water in 1860 was $7,615 less than 1869,
and $32,000 less than in 1858, giving him
credit tor the increased amount pumped. He
has; reduced tho cost of laying pipe; which
was, under the former administration; 61jj
oohts per foot to 281 cents per foot, and saved;
in . thy last six montns of 1858, $34,878. ; : The
Broad-Btreet main pays over twenty per cent,
on the cost the past year, and the Corinthian
avenue basin and milthouso aud machinery
will make even a, larger return, and which wo
i can' demonstrate beyond a doubt.
All thatwe can learn from New York, is
that she keeps her supply above her demand,
while our city permits tho demand to bo
ahead of her supply, and T regret to add it is
herhistory. "
Conld any engineer ask a record of higher
character-? It proves beyond a donbt his
thorough capacity, his unimpeachable integ
rity, and proving beyond a question his high
qualifications ‘ for the position he occupies,
and the entire security the city has in his Bkill
and ability lor extending ottr works. His
eminent practicability, his untiring industry,
and hiß great energy, makes him the man for
the duties the city now requires, and his fore
going record gives every reason for the most
implicit confidence in his future administra
tion. Justice.
