established moral character, as an indis
pensable prerequisite, to obtaining office
under them—if they search into and purify
the mysteries of New York, so far they will
be entitled to all praise. But if, as its
name, of native American seems to im
port, the main object of the party be to
exclude from sharing in the honors and
emoluments of the city all foreigners,
however worthy, the scheme displays a
destitution of justice, gratitude and gen
erous feeling, that will be visited by the
contempt and indignant reprobation of
every high minded American. The
blow is aimed chiefly against the Irish,
and Catholic citizens, they being gener
ally democrats. The spirit of the native
party goes to place the naturalized citizens
in New York, to some extent on the foot
ing of Spartan Helots, the colored race,
or the degraded castes in Hindostan. —
Let it never be forgotten, the triumph of
the natives was secured by the Whig
gery of New York, uniting almost in a
body, with the Proscriptionists.
If in the hourof trial,the sons of Green
Erin—the children of La Belle France
—the exiles from the “Fader” Lands of
Pulaski, DeKalb and Kosckinsko—re
member not, the actual, or intended in
dignity, and injustice to themselves and
affront to the dear, dear homes of their
fathers, then indeed, will the spirit of the
true and the brave have departed from
them.
Every Irishman should know, that
Rufus King, the genuine exampler of
Federal Whiggery, on his return from
England, made a strenuouscffort to close
the American ports against the Irish pa
triots Emmet, McNevin, Sampson and
their companions in adversity, driven in
to exile by British despotism. Place this
fact and the victory recently given by
the Whigs of New York to the Proscrip
tion party, we ask can any Irishman be
a Whig without recreancy from the spirit
and honor of his native country, as well
as culpable indifference to the value of
liberty and generous toleration.
The reforms which the new party
must carry into effect immediately on
their advent into power, have reference
mainly to the printing department—the
appointments to office ; the licensing' of
grog shops; the abolition of gambling
houses; the suppression of houses of ill
fame; the regulation of omnibnses; the
streets; the police; the reorganization of
the fire department; the purification of
the administration of justice; the sup
pression of rowdyism. What a melan
choly commentary is presented by this
catalogue of needed reforms upon the
conduct of the parties heretofore in of
fice ! And what an impressive exhorta
tion to duty, fidelity, and diligence does
it address to the new occupants of the
seats of government! And yet we have
named only a few of the most prominent
reforms which occur to 11s at the moment.
We shall take up this subject day after
day until the meeting of the new Com
mon Council, and thus present the whole
condition of the city and the evils which
have been afflicting us, in order that the
new corporation may take them in hand.
Amongst the first reforms which will
come up will be that with reference to
removals and appointments to office, and
in what mode the printing of the corpo
ration will be done. We trust that no
man will be appointed to office unless he
be of good moral character, and a tem
perance man, cither in practice or by
open and public profession. Let this be
an indispensable qualification. It this
righteous and just principle be establish
ed, a death blow will be struck at immo
rality and the gin shops. The closure
of the grog-shops on the Sabbath will,
we trust, he one of the first measures
adopted, and also the closure of printing
and publishing offices. We publish a
Sunday paper, but if the new corporation
wish us to keep our establishment shut
on the sacred day, we can still accom
modate the public without open doors.
Another point is the printing of the
corporation. This has hitherto been the
fruitful source of corruption and extrav
agance. The public patronage has been
bestowed for the purpose of pampering
miserable, sinking party organs.
Look at the Evening Post and Ple
beian! We trust that this will be re
dressed—that the new coiporation will
avoid any connexion with any newspa
per, but leave the newspapers to take
care of themselves —and that the print
ing will be done by contract—open to
the lowest bidder after having been duly
advertised, and that the advertisements
of tho corporation will be given to the
papers of the largest circulation, which
would be true practical economy.
These views occur to us to-day, but
we shall enlarge upon these and other
branches of reform, and force home upon
the new corporation the necessity of at
once redressing all the evils which have
been afflicting 11s for years, and for de
liverance from which we have been cry
ing in vain. None of them must now
be overlooked.
•Tames Harper—The Mayor Elect.
The election of this worthy and re
spectable citizen to the office of Mayor of
this city, m the recent extraordinary rev
olution, has turned every eye upon his
position—his history—his connexions—
the great publishing house with which
he is connected. Eveiy on© is enqui
ring, “ What kind of a man is Mr. Har
per V* “ What are his sentiments?”—
Where did he spring from?” “ What
are his views ?” “ What sort of a Mayor
W| ll he mrke?” These are very natu
r'>l enquiries, and it may be difficult to
answer them fully; still let us try and
give as satisfactory a reply as may be in
our power.
James Harper is a native of Long Is
land, and his birth-place is but a few
miles distant from the city of New York.
We understand that his father and moth
er were natives of the North of Ireland,
and Methodists, who settled in Long Is
land, and were themselves respectable by
a life of piety, industry, integrity, and
blamelessness in all their social inter
course. Mr. Harper, the Mayor elect, is
the eldest of four sons, his three brothers
being all associated with him in the lar
gest publishing house ever established in
this country. All the members of this
wealthy and influential firm have the
same general characteristics; industri
ous, prudent, shrewd, intelligent, moral
and religious. They are, indeed, wor
thy representatives of that race from
which they have sprung—a race in
whom the energy and fire of the Irish
character have been happily blended
with the sterling qualities of the English
and Scottish people, and who have made
the North of Ireland in Intelligence, or
der, and propriety, the very antipodes of
the other portions of that beautiful, blit
unhappy island.
James Harper commenced life as a
journeyman printer—the first employ
ment of not a few of the best men our
country has produced—and we believe
at one time wrought press work at so
much per token, in company with Thur
low Weed of Albany, now the editor of
the Whig paper there. By the most un
tiring industry, and the most rigid econ
omy, which, habits singularly temperate
and irreproachable, rendered easy, Mr.
Harper accumulated a small sum, which
added to thesavings of his brothers, John,
Wesley and Fletcher, formed the capital
on which was commenced that establish
ment which has since become so exten
sive. It was here attending to his busi
ness, that the new party in search of
an honest and upright man to represent
their views and principles as Chief Mag
istrate of this great city, found James
Harper, and threw the mantle of popula
rity over him—a mantle which thus for
once descended on shoulders worthy of
that honorable covering. As we have
already stated, Mr. Harper is a member
of the Temperance Society, President of
one of the most respectable associations
in this efty—the Lady Franklin Society
—and has always given to that great
cause the most zealous and efficient sup
port. He is a member of the Methodist
church, and like most of the opulent ad
herents to that zealous denomination of
the Christain church, he has contributed
in the most munificent manner the means
of enabling it to carry on its extensive
machinery for the propagation at home,
and abroad of the great truths of Chris
tianity.
The political sentiments of Mr. Harp
er, as may be readily supposed, have
been the subject of much inquiry and
speculation. We learn that he, as well
as ills brothers, belongs to that class of
independent politicians who approve or
disapprove, according to the dictates of
their own conscience and judgment, of
the men and the principles of every par
ty. We understand, indeed, in the case
of the Mayor elect, that he regards John
C. Calhoun as decidedly the most emin
ent statesman of the present age in this
country. But notwithstanding this par
tiality for the distinguished Southern
statesman, we are not authorised to set
Mr. Harper down as a Calhoun man, in
the ordinary sense of the phrase. The
statement we have made will, however
afford the means of forming some opin
ion as to the general views entertained
by Mr. Harper with respect to the great
question connected with the interests and
welfare of this country.
“What sort of a Mayor will Mr. Har
per make ?” is perhaps the most frequent
and interesting inquiry just now. This
naturally leads us into another inquiry
—What sort of a partner is he in the great
publishing house with which he is con
cerned ? As we have remarked there
are four brothers in thisflrm—-James, the
Mayor elect, John, Wesley, and Fletcher.
James, the eldest, has heretofore hud
charge, or general superintendence, of
all the foreign and domestic correspon
dence. John has had the control oi the
financial department, assisted by Wes
ley, and to Fletcher, who is full of wit,
humor and vivacity, has been assigned
the task of talking with authors, and do
ing the conversation of the firm. In this
department James also takes some share,
and his conversation is full of anecdote
and interest, his business talents being of
a very valuable and important character
in his particular line. It will thus be
seen that the complicated and mighty
affairs of this immense establishment has
been heretofore conducted on the princi
ple of division of labor amongst its prin
cipals. Each of the brothers has su
preme control in his own department,
and the decision of each on any particu
lar point connected with the affairs of
his department, is final—a most pleasing
proof of the mutual confidence in each
other’s integrity and sound judgment.—
These are the principles on which this
great publishing house has been conduc
ted, and by which it has become the
greatest in this country. The firm is
now worth probably one million of dol
lars, and may be said to be only, ns it
were, commencing business with the pre
sent revival of trade.
With such a man, from such a school,
as its chief magistrate —a man experien
ced in business—of the most industrious
habits, of the strictest integrity—untram
melled by party—uncorrupted by any
party associations—altogether beyond the
reach of any of those influences which
too often operate on men not rich in this
world’s goods, there is Surely every rea
son to hope that the affairs of this city
will be managed for a year at least with
order, regularity, despatch, and honesty.
