Haven.
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and Ifouse
of Representatives, in General Assembly concen-
ed, That the annual meeting of said city, shall
hereafter be, on the Monday immediately next
preceding the first Tuesday of June, in each
year, and that at the annual meeting of said city,
there shall be chosen a Mayor, a Clerk, four
Aldermen, and twenty Common Councilmen,
two sheriffs, a Treasurer, and an Auditor of
City Accounts, and a Collector of Taxes: who
shall all, or say many of them as each free-
man shall choose to vote for, be voted for at
one ballot, and whose names may be either
written or printed; and on one piece of paper.
And the offices for which the several persons
are intended, shall be annexed to their names
respectively. And on each ballot, two of the al-
dermen, shall be designated as Judges, and the
persons having the greatest number of votes, for
said offices shall be declared to be elected. In
case of an equality of votes, so that any par-
ticulars oflicer named be not chosen, or the
number of officers named be not chosen ; a new
election to supply the vacancy or vacancies,
shall be held on the same day of the next suc-
ceeding week, at the same hour and place.—
Provided however, if the other officers are elect-
ed, and as many as twelve members of the
Common Council, no new election shall be hol-
den. But the Common Councilsoelected, shall
have the same power, that the whole number
of twenty would have had, if elected. All city
officers, other than those above named shall
be chosen by the Court of Common Coun-
cil.
Sec. 2. The two Aldermen desigua'ed as
Judges, who shall be elected, shall with the
Mayor constitute the City Court; and should .it
so happen that more than two so designated,
be elected Aldermen; then two who have the
greatest number of votes, shall be the. Judgesof
said Court, and if by return of an equal number
of votes for Judges, no two shall be designated; ,
then one or two as the case may require, may
be called to compose a part of the Court, as is
now provided in case of the absence of the said
Aldermen. And in case it shall so happen that
no one, or that but one of those designated as
Judges shall be elected Aldermen; then the
place, or places shall be supplied by the Alder-
men having the greatest number of votes and if
two or more shall have an equal number of
votes then the place or places, may be supplied
from either of them : and in all cases when the
Court cannot be filled. by the Mayor and Al-
dermen designated as Judges, it may be compo-
sed of the other Aldermen, or Justices of the
Peace in the same manner as is now provi-
ded. . -
Sec. 3. On the day of the city election the
poll shall be opened at nine o’clock A. M. and
close at 4 o'clock P. M. after which no ballot
shall be received. All ballots shall be laid on
the lid ofthe ballot box; and put into the box,
by one of the Sheriffs or Common Councilmen.
The ballots shall be counted by the Mayor, Al-
dermen, and such of the memliers of the Com-
mon Council as the Mayor, or other presiding
ofiicer shall think proper to call upon. None
of the ballotsshall be counted, until the poll is
closed; when the persons. whose duty it is to
count them, shall proceed so to do. After the
closing of the polls for the officers before nam-
ed, the meeting may proceed to transact any
other proper business that may come before
them. But said meeting shall not be adjourned
until the ballots are counted, and the result de-
clared. The presiding officer shall order the
names of the Freemen as thy vote to be enroll-
ed.
Sec. 4. The Court of Common Council of
said city, may from time to time appoint such
number of persons, as they may see fit, not ex-
ceeding in the whole twenty-five, as special
Constables, who shall take the oath by law pro-
vided for executive officers; and shall hold their

interest which they may suppose or have reason

TUESDAY, JUNE 30, I835.‘
{fiP“Turn cuts” are becoming as epidemical,
in our great cities and towns, as the influenza or
cholera. Carpenters, Masons, Printers, Bind-
ers, Sailors, Tailors, Painters, Sempstresses,
Bakers, Brewers, Barbers,—nll are striking for
higher wages or regular hours. "W'e see some
of the newspapers making these emeutes a sub-
ject for inerrin1ent—others endeavoring to frown
them down ; and others again exulting in the
spirit of independence which they evince in the
working classes; withoutstopping to inquire into
their causes or looking around to discover an a-
vailable remedy for their evils. That there is
error somewhere is unquestionably true ; and
that these coinmotions have a disorganizing and
proof. Therefore are they condemned in the
most positive and emphatic terms, and blame
frequently attributed to those who suflcr, for com-
plaining. We do not doubt that both inas-
ters and workmen feel impelled to take the op-
posite positions they assume on these occasions,
by a correct sense of right; and that while the
employed justly complain, the employer is not
without his reasons of equal weight and honesty.
finds himself placed, either to refuse adequate
remuneration to his workmen or tax his custom-
er with the additional cost in the production of
his wares. Hence, the burthen falls upon the
consumer, who may or may not be able to bear
it; and if not, the demand is diminished and the
artizan suffers for want of employment.
The cause, however, may be readily traced
to that wild spirit of speculation which seems to
have fascinated the public mind. The desire to
become suddenly rich, inflamed and augmented
by means, at once plausible and insecure, ming-
led with the excitement of adventure, has led
men, having sufficient iiitrcpidity of character,
to give a fictitious value to every spccits of pro-
ping a ready and enormous profit. Their success
has emboltlened others withoutcapital, but with
some credit, to engage in the business: and by
their frequent transfers and cousequentincrease
of the nominal value of property, they give an
impetus to sales, excite the cupidity of the pub-
lie, and infect sellers in every line of business
with the desire to grasp at the golden opportuni-
ty, by the use ofsiniilar devices. All this while,
the artizan plods slowly along in his €l.:C'USl0l11-
ed vocation, without either pai'ticipatit'-_-;_,rii1 the
golden dreams of his neighbors or realizing an
increase of wages or profit. On the conrary,tlie
fluctuations in the money market consequent
upon these wild speculations, altcrnarcly ex-

These are temporary causes, which occasion-
ally subside ; but they contribute to the perina-
nent establishment of others equally onerous
and obnoxious. In all our principal cities, al-
most every mercliantable article, appears to be
gradually rising in price, while a taste for dress
and expensive amusements is pervading all
classes, and leading to habits of generosity and
a want of economy, that more than absorb the
usual and established amount of wages. The
mechanic, no doubt, is here amenable to a pro-
portion of blame; and he should be reminded
of the necessity of being more frugal. At the
same time, compensation for labor should bear
a just proportion to the cost of subsistence ; and
he who spends his life in one perpetual struggle
to sustain it, should at least be well fed, well
clothed and comfortably lodged and protected
from the changes and iucleinencies of the sea-
sons.
The aristocracy of wealth is, perhaps, the
most intolerable of all aristocracies, where it is
based entirely upon the possession of inoney.—
It closes the heart to the approach of sympathy
and makes it inscusible as stone to the sufferings
of mankind. The determination to keep and to
gain, silences every appeal to his aflcctions, and
places the possessor in a hostile attitude toward
the rest of his species. Self becomes the pre-
dominant interest, and the gratification of his
own desires, the cujoymcntof his own pleasures,
are to the rich man, objects of fargreatcrim por-
tance than the relicfofstilfering in others. The
voice of pity falls upon his ear with a dull sound;
and if he give, it is rather to avoid importunity
than to minister SLlC(:OUl'. He is privileged to
fare better, to dress finer, to talk louder, to sleep
longer, than his fellows; and the possession of
this privilege, places him above the feelings of
liuinauity. Hence, the poor mechanic when
he coinplains, is niilicard; when he reinonstraies,
lie is repulsed; when he resists, lie is crushed.

above humanity. To be merciful, kind and
benevolent, should be its chief cliaracteristics;
as they will prove its principal means of pro-
tection aiid happiness. Society cannot long ex-
ist in this country with a latent spirit of civil
war smouldering beneath its surface. It must
sooner or later break out into acts of madness
and outrage. Our political associations must
and will pull down to a level with the meanest,
the soulless aristocrat; and compel him to be a
man—aud only a man. This is the war of the
“poor against the rich.” It is not a war about
dollars and cents; or privileges, or caste, or
equipage. It is a war of principles and feelings
—it is a war of the affections. The rich must
become humanized. They must descend f'rom
that proud, cold eminence, where they affect to
be above the reach of those passions which ag-
I itate and sway the bosoms of their fellow mor-
ltals. They may not be required to mingle in
.the amusements and endeavor to unite them-
selves to the societies of those who, by educa-
tion, manners and the possession of property, are
itheir iiiferiors. Such an association would be
9 unnatural and impose restraint upon both par-
,ties. It cannot be expected-—it would be unjust
to desire it. VVe would merely require that they
maintain their elevation, not by the concessions
ofa discontented and jealous order, but by the
benign influencs of character. It is a glorious
feature in our republican institutions, that, while
they secure to every man the possession of his
property and the pursuit of happiness, in what-
ever way his taste may incline him; they com-
pel him to partake of those feelings and senti-
ments which sway the great mass ofthe people,
as the price of his security and repose. Our po-
’litical equality, liuiiiaiiizes the rich and subdues
the poor. \Vhcn it fails to have this effect, its
legitimate operation is obstructed by artificial
causes. And they must be removed; or the
whole machinery of society will fall to pieces.
fl:§“"The Democratic Star—(when stars be-
come democrats, it may be time to look among
the planets for the aristocracy,)——appears to com-
miserate our condition under the regime of Jack-
son and reform in this State, and to look upon
our speculations as the “piteous moans” of a
partizan stripped of the spoils of office. \Vitli
the views of the Star and its estimate ofthe val-
ue and honor of office, we are not surprised at
this misapprehension ; and courtesy certainly
seems to require of us that we should return our
thanks for the sympathy so candidly and feel-
iiigly expressed. But we beg leave to explain.
Our disquietude does not spring from any sense
of loss—or from a suspicion that this transfer of
“honor and emolumcnt,” is felt as an iiidividu-
al calamity by any one member in the army of
the ejected. VVe object to the practice, without
regard to individuals or party, as one full of the
most mischievous influences upon the political
and moral honesty of the people. And we hold
that party particularly responsible for these con-
sequences, which introduced this practice, and
which the press is so anxious to distinguish as
J cffersonian; as if such a title could justify so
detestable an attempt to awaken a feeling of hos-
9:? The Americans certainly make much
more important,improvements in their cooking
apparatus than in the culniary process; and if
new inventions in stoves, grates, ovens, furnaces,
sinokejacks, gridirons,_frying pans, boilers, pots,
were to be regarded as signs of our gastronomic
refinenient, the restoraieurs of Paris, who can
cook an egg in three hundred and sixty-five dif-
fcrent manners, would be to our housewives, as
Madame Glass -to Apicius or Monsieur Ude.—
But, alas, our genius 15 too sordid and mechani-
cal, to enter into the metempsycliosis of an orto-
lan or a pale dc foie gras ; or the still more meta-
physical subtleties ofa rol an rent rqflincc. A
beefsteak, a roasted joiutor a bolied leg, with
sauce a l’a-nglais, is the height of our ambition;
and for this purpose, we do not know but that
for economy, Mr. Maynard French’s Patent
Cooking Stove, now on sale by Mr. Lester Bel-
den, is admirably adapted, although we are as-
sured that Messrs. Stiles Curtis &. Co’s. patent
Baker is the ire plus ultra of culniary devices for
the saving of fuel and expediting the importtuu
process ofcalifaction. \Ve are poor judges in
this matter, and invite public attention to the
subject. \Ve would rather discuss a dinner with
a small supply of the “crossbow brand,” than a
cooking stove or a smoke jack, at any time.-
Others again feel more interest in the cooking
than the eating. To such, a copper boiler is a
far more pleasing object than apluiii pudding.
Chacun a son gout—-every one to his liking.
FOURTH OF J ULY.—\Ve are requested
to say that the inhabitants of New Cunaaii. will

the Episcopal Church, ti dinner, firing of can-
non, fireworks, &c. Oratioii at 10 o’clock,

tion, dinner, &c.
Also, by the inliabitants of Ridgelicld, by an
Oration by T. T. Mcrwin, Esq., dinner, &c. &c.
Invitations are extended to the neighboring
towns; and, we may suppose to Norwalk in
particular, judging from the apathyof her inhab-
taiiis; since an iiivitatiou might be giiicri tlicni
with perfect security, if anyfcar of their att.ciid-
irig should be indulged.
{Eb \Vc hope we shall give no oflbuce when
we say, that we do not admire the caution eviii-
ced by the New Haven Palladium in its article
on the Presidency. The proposition is absurd
in itself, that the \Vliigs in this State are not
sufficiently well acquainted with the respective
merits and qualifications of Mr. \Vcbster and
Judge \Vhite, to decide upon their pretensions
to the Presidency. The evasion is paltry, and
too flimsey for disguise; and is calculated to do
serious harm to the reputation of the VVliigs for
principle and consistency. There is enipliati-
cally but one \Vliig candidate in the field, and
that candidate is Daniel \Vebster. \Vhcn New
England shall desert her soii—aiid such ason

matters but little whether she go for Van Burcn

that its demoralizing tendency has oeen more‘
rapid in its effects, than we could have dared to
anticipate.
The Star talks about the let‘ lalionis.
This is
not just. The war of extermination was com-
menced by the Jackson men; they’ introrluced
the practice into the State; and the \Vhigs in
their desire to restore the old order of tliiugs,
prosecuted the regenerating process with too
much ardor. All extremes are wrong—and par-
ticularly so in those who practice and defend
them. These are our principles.
Off” The following remarks upon the remo-
val of Judge Isaacs, of this town, we take from
the New Haven Palladium. The excellent
character of our fellow-townsman, both public
and private, rendered the expectation very gen-
eral among us that no change would be made
in the Probate Office. No complaint-—no dis-
satisfaction-—liad been expressed by either party;
and it was not without surprise that we heard,
several active politicians, who had distinguish-
ed themselves by the cry of prescription, had
gone on to Hartford to procure his rein oval and
solicit the office for themselves. It is gratify-
ing to know, however, that these dtisinlercstccl
pat-riots were not successful, in so far as it re-
garded their own expectations ; and that the gen-
tleman who has received the appointment, for
the benefit of our esteemed brother editor of the
Star, is neither a violent partizan nor a dema-
gogue; but the least objectionable of any indi-
vidual it would be easy to indicate, both as a
gentleman and a politician.
This removal is, neverilieless, as strong an
instance of pure proscription—of awarding the
spoils of the enemy to the victors—as we have
everknown; and for that reason deserves especial
and pointed rebuke.
From the New I—Iarcn Palladitim.
Another thing ought to be remembered of the
last Legislature, viz. the removal of Judge
Isaacs, and others from offices to which they
had been regularly nominated by the majority
ofthe ineiiibers from their own county. “The
democracy” have ever pretended that it was
with them a sacred priiiciple—aye, the very cs-
S(‘.llC of democracy itself, to abide by the deci-
sions of the county iiiectiiigs, whatever might be
their political cliaractcr. Yet these livpocritcs,
who composed the inajoriiy in the last Legisla-
ture, wiiliout the least. hesitation erased the name
ol'Judgc lsuacs, and nearly every other wliig
from tho noininntioiis presented by the uiajority
of the l*‘:iirlicli.l County members. \Vc inziy~
use too lizirsli lniigiizigc in speaking ofthe pro-
ccdiiigs of that Legislature, but when all the
pledges and professions of this self-styled demo-
cratic party are so vividly in our mind, and
when on looking over their acts, we find their
course has been one ofiuiposlure and reckless-
ness, and when .\'(-‘ff.-(!".{'g'.,"7‘fl'71(f?'.ZC)Il(7Zl, stands
out too plain to be inisuuderstood, as the govern-
ing principle in all their doings, we cannot. help
speaking as we feel. Ifone’s pockets are rob-
bed by a liigliwaymnu, or his licud is bruised by
tin cuciiiy, he can hear his loss and stiller his
ills wiili tolerable composure ; but to be rleccivcrl,

{EPA Mr. Thomas J. Pew, a neighbor of
Col. R. M. Johnson, caiididate of the party for
the Vice Presidency, comes out in the Albany
Argus," and denies that Col. Johnson was ever‘
married. This position suits us quite as well.
Col. Johnson then lived in a state of co72cubin-
age with a black zcoman, a large part of his life.
The illegitimate mullatto children he had by
that woman, he is now eudeavoring to force into
society—at which every sense of public decency
must revolt. This is no idle tale got up for elec-
tioneering purposes—it is sober trutli—aud pre-
sents one of the most shameful instances of ef-
frontery, both in the man and the party, that has
ever disgraced any country—evcu the most do-
graded and despotic—on the face of the earth.
(G5 The sixth \Vard, in the city of N. York,
has been the scene of two very serious riots with-
in a week or two past. The Irish inliabitaiits of
that hopeful district, armed themselves with
clubs, knives, guns, &c. and made an iudiscriin—
inate attack upon all the Americans they could
fall in with. The police in an attempt to arrest
them, were in several instances severely bruis-
ed. It was, we understand from a gentleman,
who witnessed a part of the affiray, a regularly
planned affair on the part of our “naturalized
brethren,” who are warm and “intelligent” par-
tizaus of Patrick Van Bureii and Giiiral O’J ack-
son.
