Ter for common council and 1T P therefore impossible that he should have spoken against that class There womb be force la lhis argument # there nat many Thousand asianCes within the memory of every man, of parasites Io power, who, poor themselves, fwn on the rich, and minister arIstIcratic prlde, by dsprecating the If none bul Ie rch maintained exclusive ptiveges for ihe Iioh, theie would be no danger in any community, for the poor have always the majority of numbers. But the rich gathers around him followers, crowds of hangers on, and ol.equious hatlerers who for present gain, ar from innate slayshness of disposition uphold the power and pander to the oslenatiun of their patrons If Mir Langdon be not of these, then his conduct this occasion and tle aid in his political aspera- lions which he has Courted and received from the landed influence which controls the city, have pro- duced wrong impressions the minds of many citi- zens against him.

 The rest of Mir. Langdon's communication is devo- :cd to effort 10 prove that the city charter layorite of democrats, and also to prove that It i1 supported by nearly the whole of the city in which there is said to be whg majority. 1 shall not at tempt reconcile these assertions with each other or with his implied reproach against the democrats as fathers of an obnoxious measure. It is new thing under the sun, for Mr. Langdon to be shelter

 ing himself under the supposed sanction of democrats Those who oppose this city charter not how ma ny democrats or how many whigs share in the njus- tce but they cannot fail to perceive sign to lead them to their friends, when they hear MT. Landon | complaining how many democrats camorops for

 its repeal But, in truth, this matter is to be injured by party. Mr. Iaugdon is trying 10 cover his own de- lnquencies by ralyiug his party other points, Sc as to prevent the aggreved from voting together on this. He knows that upon the naked question he would loose large number of poor whg voters who thlnk with the mass of the democratic party on thi, head. It is the device of one detected in high of. fence against his constituents which he would of and avoid responsibility by raising issues on immaterial points.

 l There are other small trickeries in Mr. Landon's communication which might be commented upon with much severity; but enough has been said to show it's contradictions, insincerity and absurdity.

 So much for him. Will-dare BATES or PRINCE submit their defence, if they have any, equall, close examination! FRANKLIN.
