Condition and Prospects Of the American


Republicans In this CITY.


There is y considerable degree OF internal dis
turbance in the American Republican party just
now. The real friends Of reform have become
very much dissatisfied with the conduct OF the cor
poration, and this feeling Of disapprobation begins
10 be developed in several OF the wards. Alderman
Cozzens, of the 81 Ward, who was very much
noyed by the neglect OF duty manifested by the
majority of his associates in the Common Council,
rendered his resignation, some time since, but IN
consequence OF the earnest remonstrance and re-
quest OF the inffu initial members OF the party in the
ward, he has Withdrawn his resignation, and holds
on in the hope that something may yet be done IN
the way # fulhllmenl OF solemn pledges. In the
Fifth Ward, resolutions expressing dissatisfaction
with the conduct Of Alderman Drake, the represen
tative OF that ward in the Common Council, have
been passed, but at a subsequent meeting were re-
considered, and now remain suspended over the
head Of the Alderman. In the Fifteenth a good
deal of discomfort Is expressed with regard to AL
dermaD Scheifiiln. Altogether there is abundant
evidence that amongst large portion OF the party,
III consequence OF the failure thus far realize the
expectations which their promises excited, very
strong feeling of dissatisfaction has been awak
against the members of the Corporation.


Now, in some minor matters the new Corporation
have made some show OF effectng reform The
streets in a somewhat better condition than
formerly, and at the steamboat landings there is
not SO much disorder But the great and all-im-
portant measures Of reform remain untouched. We
have no hope of obtaining police reform from this
party. We see proper effort made to effect a
reduction Of the taxes The expenditures are still
extravagant, and in some of the departments,
as tor instance those for The City Hall, they
are said to be altogether worthy of the old
regime The truth is that there has seldom
been glaring instance of the inidelity
of party to promises and principle after obtain.
ing power, than that presented by the new Cor
poration in this city II is not at all surprising that
SO much dissatisfaction should exist amongst the
Intelligent supporters of the party.


We perceive that, very probably to cover their
neglect OF duty in carrying out the local reforms,
to effect which they were elected, the new party
are renewing the old agitation about the naturaza-
ton laws In the fall, they announce their inten-
ton of nominating Congress and Assembymen
and Senators, pledged to repeal these laws.
Their object is to effect such an amend.





will meet their wishes. But all this fuss
about the naturalization laws is of very trivial
consequence. The privilege OF voting is of very
little practical value. The people who are mos
prosperous in this community generally take very


tle interest IN political matters, and certainly the
acknowledgements of foreigners after very brief
residence here, has often led to great deal Of
folly, and also of injury to these voters themselves

from destruction, unless they fulfil their pledges
Il was the pledge of reform which put them
into power. Their proscriptive measures, what.
ever they may be in the abstract, will only
hasten their dsorganization and annihilation. =
And if they really mean to retain office, or
life as party, they had better be moving in the
work OF reform. The shurtiog up of a few gro,
chops, will not be deemed sufficient discharge OF
those obligations by which the corporation are
bound to give us adequate protection of our lives
and property, and relief from oppressive taxation.

party did not come up TO the scratch, and the

new Aldermen. in quantity of "sound and fury
signifying nothing"


INGENIOUS Tactics OF THE WHIGs.-The whig.
