The malu rea?ous for tuch dissent are ?suc? cinctly as follow?: THE ArrO!>TI!40 rOWF.R llISrlACED. One objection we tnnke to the charter propos?-?! by Ihe Commit!?'? for the City of New-York, and oue which alone woiii.i have l'ompelled distent from their rcixnt, will be found in section 2? of the bill. While this sec lion proviiJi? that in the flrnt instance the Mayor shall nominate to the Hoard of Aldermen the names of per? sons for tho hr-adi of department*., yet it provides that if the Aldermen d?> not confirm such nominations within the period of a few weeks, then the Mayor ahall goiuto ?Joint rim-putl'in with the Boaial of Aldermen, und that the heads of departments shall be appointed by a ma? jority vote in such Joint convention. A tvro in legiaiutloi. ?ill perceive that tin. hccM??! sub stsDtially be,tow. upou the Aldermen the whole power of appointment, and that the Mayor has ouly the ??.-nil,;.,-),,, of ?nch power. This prorinloti is an omlnoui?, unprecedented, and in fact revolutionary ono lu its < liaractf-r. It is subversive of all knows methods, and can And no sanction from experience, from public need, or from ?eason. It belittles the diitnlfled office of Mayor of a **re..i municipality. It mingles tho execu? tive power with tho led ?dative, in defiance of tho tescli Ing ol all experience, aud tho radical principles of free .-..???Him. nt everywhere. It abolishes a republican form of ?.ov.roment to aet np an ohirarchy. No one will pretend to defend tho scheme in point of principle. If other motives Lave suggested its adoption, they are not such a* can claim the support of a wise and far sighted statesmanship. Temporary expediency ts an argument which often brings strong temptations, in deed adepartuie from recognized methods and from admitted principle- But history, in this State as well as elsewhere, has taught Legislatures ths danger of yielding l? ?,i0? temptations.
