An Act regulating side-walks in the City of
New London.
See. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and I-Iouse
of Representatives, in General Assembly conven-
crl, That the Courts of Common Council ofthe
city of New London, shall have power from
time to time, as public. convenience may re-
quire, to designate and fix the width, course,
height, and level of side-walks in and upon the
N ORVVALES G AZ ETTE.
TUESDAY: JULY 7. 1835.
0:? The law restraining the issue of one dol-
lar bills by the Banks in this State, went into op-
eration on the first day of the present month ;
but it does not affect the circulation of such bills
by iudividtials, until the first day of September
next. So also, in regard to bills for two dollars
—the banks cease to utter tlicui on the first of
January, but they may be keptincireulation until
March. It is proper that ‘this tlistiiictiori should
be noted, because many iudividtials seem to act
under the impression, that one dollar bills are no
longer a legal tentler. It shoultl alsobe remem-
bered that, although an iudividtial niaylioltl bills
of the denomination interdictetl, after the time
streets and highways in saitl city.
Sec. And for the purpose of rendering such
sitle-walks convenient, said Courts of Common
Council, may from time to time give order to the
proprietor, or proprietors, of the lands and build.
ings fronting such side walks, at their own ex-
pense, to level, or raise the same, on their sev-
eral fronts, according to the width, course, height,
and level, designated as aforesaid; antl also to
pave, or to flag, in such manner as said Courts
of Common Council, in said city shall direct—
And said Courts of Common Council may limit
such time as they shall deem reasonable, for
levelling or raising and for paving, or flagging
such side-walk. And in cases, where the land
or buildings, fronting on such side-walks shall
be liolden fora term of years, or any other es-
tate, less than fee-simple, said Courts of Com-
mon Council, in said city, may by their order
apportion, in such manner as they shall judge
right the expense of raising, or leveling, and
paving or flagging such side-walk, among the
diflbrent persons having an interest in the lands,
or buildings, holden as aforesaid.
Sec. 3. And if any proprietor or proprietors,
shall neglect to level, or raise. pave. or flag any
such side-walk,in such manner, and within such
time as said Courts of Common Council shall
direct, and limit; They may in such case. ap-
point antl employ some meet person to raise and
level. and to pave or flagg such side-walk on the
front of the preprietor or proprietors, neglecting
as aforesaid, and adjust and liquidate the ex-
pense thereof, and order the same to be paid
by the proprietor or proprietors as aforesaid; and
appoint a collector or collectors to collect of each
proprietor the sum or sums respectively ordered
to be paid as aforesaid, and pay the same with-
in such time as said court of Common Council
shall limit; antl to such persons as they shall
appoint to receive the same, for the purpose of
defraying such expense; and such Courts ‘ 0
Common Council shall cause such collectors,
duly to account tlierefor—And the Mayor, or
one of the Aldermen of said city shall issue a
warreut of distress to such collector in said city ;
authorising him to collect of such proprietor or
proprietors respectively the sums ordered to be
paid as aforesaid. And every such collector
shall have the same power——shall proceed in
the same manner, and under the same regula-
tions as the law prescribes in the case of pub-
lic taxes.
Sec. 4. When any side-walk shall cross a
street, or highway, the Court of Common Coun-
cil, in said city may cause the same in such
place to be suitably leveled, or raised, and pa-
ved. or flagged, attbe expense of said City.
See. 5. If any person or persons shall be
aggrieved, by the doings of any Court of Com-
mon Council under this act, such person or per-
sons may prefer his, her, or their complaint to
the next County Court in the county where said
city is situated in which the grievance com-
plained of was committed, againstsucli city, by
causing a copy of such coinpiaint to beleft with
the clerk ofsaid city, at least twelve days before
the sitting ofsuch court; and if said court on
hearing such complaint, shall be ofopinion that
any part, or the whole expense, ordered to be
paid by such persons, ought to be borne by said
city; said court shall order antl direct, that
such couiplaiiiants, be released from the pay-
ment ofsuch part, or the whole ofsuch part, or
the whole of such expense as to them shall ap-
pearjiist, and equitable; and shall order that
the expense, for which reliefsliall be granted,
as aforesaid to be paitl by said city. And if it
shall appear, on such hearing that such com-
plainant or complainants, have actually paid
any sum or sums of money, inconsequence of
any order made by said Court of Common
Council, as aforesaid, which ought to be refunded,
said County Court may grant execution in fa-
vor of such complainant or complainats against
said city for said su ni,'or sums.

designated in the law for their suppression, it
does not affect their value, since the banks are,
at any future day, obliged to receive them.
{E9 VVhen Kiiig’s held their authority by
“right divine," implicit obedience on the part of
the subject was a duty which it was a crime to
dispute. Hence the acts of the sovereign and
his ministers not being acknowledged as legiti-
mate topics for discussion, government pursued
its even antl unobstructed way without noise or
confusion. Life, property, aiitl liberty, were
disposed of, without any of those perplexing for-
malities which have been introdticetl with the
march of mind into our civil code, and people
could suffer without complaining antl monarchs
oppress without reproof, under so amiable a re-
gime. This is the beau ideal of a strong govern-
ment, which secms to possess the imagination of
our present Van Buren democracy ; who, in
their anxiety to preserve intact the integrity of
the executive function, avow sentiments and
principles which would startle a Lord Eldon or
21 Sir RobertPcel. Complaint on the part ofthe
\Vhigs, is factions discontent; and opposition is
virtual treason.
Mr. Livingston comes home imbued with
these same royal-democratic sentiments, which
he has inhaled with the atmosphere ofSt. Cloud,
antl tells his fellow-subjects, in reply to a con-
gratulatory adtlress, that
“In expressing a tlecitled approbation of this
coudiict, you must have had, I repeat, the high-
er motive of eviucing, that, in the present peg.
ture of our affairs. all niiuor COl'1SlLlCl‘11llQ;]s ofiu_
terest are lost sight of by lioiiorabie men in a
sense of their patriotic duty of supporting the
Government of your country in any measure
that it may deem necessary to pursue in relation
to its.foreign concerns."
This may be very good democracy under the
Bourbon dynasty ofLouisPhilippe; and it may
--—indeed, we doubt not it does—liarmonize most
completely with the opinions and feellgings of the
obedient here; but, if we do not greatly err in
our estimate of the spirit of iiitlcpendcnce which
animatcs the mind ofevery intelligent Ameri-
can, who acknowledges some higher impulse
than a desire for office, Mr. Livingston will be
most signally disappointed in his expectation
that we shall regard it a “patriotic duty” to sup-
port our present administration “in any nzeasure”
it “may deem necessary to pursue in relation to
our foreign concerns.” It is precisely in regard
to these “foreign concerns” that the American
people feel a desire to investigate the acts ofgo-
verninent, since it is upon this issue that ques-
tions oftlie most momentous importance to them
individually and collectively, are to be deter-
mined; and that they will give Gen. Jackson
carte blanche in his choice ofexpetlients, we do
not believe. Iiitleed, after the many acts of fol-
ly and madness by which that passionate func-
tionary has rentlerctl himself distinguished, it
would evince little less than fattiity in the peo-
ple to make any such concession.
It could not require any very great degree of
perspicacity to determine what that “any meas-
ure” would be, in the event of Congress invest-
ing him with plenary powers in relation to our
“foreign concerns.” \V.'ir is his pretlomiuant
passion, and war he would have, at any price.
And such is, no doubt, the wish of many of his
supporters. It, miglitprove a very fine thing, to
be sure, for the party; and in the multiplication
of the spoils and places, civil and military, this
government might be cnablctl to reach that de-
gree of perfection so ardently desired by Mr.
Van Btiren, when every supporter of the ad-
riiinistration could lioltl ollice.
{E9 It is not to be woiideretl at that the ad-
ministration press is opposed to the formation of
an ./.l.I)lC"l'l(,‘(l‘)L Party, since it calculates upon its
identity ofinterest with foreigners for its success,
antl since so large a portion of foreigners consti-
tutc its effective strength antl fill so many ofits
important ollices.
so strictly mercenary that it is much more easi-
ly managed than any hotly of American citi-
zeu’s could be under any possible combination
of circumstances ; and in a political contest where
there may be any appearance of tloubt as to its
ultimate success, the party can always make
this force an effective means of controlling the
issue in more ways than one—for they exercise,
with equal facility and address, the ballot and
the shillclah. \'\-’liy then sliould not its sympa-
thies bi: enlisted in favor ofthcse poor exp_atr_iat-

ican citizcn? \Vliy should they not tlenounce
every attempt at union among the sons of the
soil, and potir upon iheni the wrath of unquali-
fied rcprobzuion? .
These things are to be looketl for from men
whose allbci.ions and principles have become
soiled and coiuuinintited with the lust ofoffice;

fifth Col. R. M. Johnson repudiates, with a-

to render his sincerity unquestionable, he asserts

Col. Johnson is of that happy constitutional
frame that, like the polypus, cut him which way
you will, he preserves the integrity of his func-
tioiis unimpaired. Indeed, we are at a loss
which to admire most, the happy facility with
which he accommodates his principles to the
exigencies of the event, or the consiimale address
with which he denies them. Both qualities will
entitle him to the support ofthe Van Buren elec-

great man, the expediency ofa national conven-

upon the advantages ofsuch a nomination, from
the imposing aspect of the ceremonial as well as
the high character of the candidate; and we
would feel highly gratified to see the proposition
echoed at least, if not entirely approved.
i?TllC Mayor of the city of New York,
aided by the Common Council and the Police,
has commenced aresolute reform among the
drain shops autl porter houses, by ordering them
to be closed on the Sabbath. This movement
has caused much dissatisfaction among the wor-
shippers at Tammany, and it is thought quite
probable that he will lose their support at the
next charter cleciioii, in consequence. He is
also so unfortunate as to be supported by the
VVhigs in this matter, which fact must render
him doubly obnoxious to the radicals. I
The spirit of speculation, scents to be even
more active in the \Vest than in the East. The
Fall River Monitor states that a gentleman liv-
ing but a few miles from that place, 20 years
ago, purchased a tract oflantl, containing 115
acres, in Louisville, now a flou rishiug town in
one ofthe \Vestern States, for which he paitl
$675. A few weeks since an agent called on
him to purchase that land, and oflcred him two
hundred and sevcnty_/ire thousand dollars, for
what but a few years since, cost him only
$675.
'1'cmyrerIng Steel.—A cutler at Lyons, is said
to have succeetlcd in perfecting the mode of tem-
pering Steel, to such a high degree, that he can,
with a knife so teuipered, cut through a two sons
piece without the edge being turned.
Onytlie above the Commercial remarks, there
is at least one blacksmith in N. Y. to our certain
knowledge, (antl for any thing we know a doz-
en,) who has succeeded in perfecting a mode of
tempering steel to such a high degree, that he
can with a hatchet so tempered, cut through a
tenpeuny nail, whicli is thicker and hiirder than
a two sons piece, without the edge being ttirnetl.
The editor ofthe Apalachicola (Florida) pa-
