TOWN AFFAIRS.
GREAT TOWN MEETING.
At a meeting of the Mechanics and Working
Men of this town, held on Saturday, the first of
March, pursuant to previous notice, Captain
j Thomas K. Beale was called to the Chair, and
John Lawson and John Gird were appointed Se
cretaries.
The following resolutions were offered by
Mr. John H. Beale, who prefaced them with a
; few pointed, able, and eloquent remarks, depict
ing the present aristocratic government of our
town, and the probable consequences of a gene
j ral reformation, which were carried without one
i dissenting voice:
j Resolved., 1st. That the Mechanics and Work
ing Men are the chief supporters of our town
government, and ought, of right, to have a due
share of influence in its legislative deliberations,
i Secondly, That we highly approve of the mea
sures adopted by the Working Men’s Caucus
Meeting, held in the Fourth Ward, and pledge
ourselves in support its nominations.
' Thirdly. That a Committee of twelve, four
from each Ward, be appointed by this meeting,
to nominate suitable persons as candidates to
represent them in the Town Council from the
three other Wards in this town which have made
no nomination.
Fourthly. We pledge ourselves to support no
candidate for a seat in the Common Council
who is not in nomination by the Working Men.
In pursuance to the third resolution, the fol
lowing gentlemen were duly appointed a Com
mittee of Nomination:
For the First Ward—Wilkinson Williams,
Rich’d. Rock, Daniel Munroe, and John Church
man.
For the Second Ward— Simon Dearborn, Jo
seph Dodds, Isaac Kell, and John Manery.
For the Third Ward—James W. Sayres, Sa
muel Bartle, J. W\ Hollensbury, and Joseph
; Dudley.
Who were to meet at the Indian Queen Tav
ern on Monday next, the 3d day of March, for
the purpose above mentioned.
And, on motion, the meeting then adjourned.
THOS. K. BEALE, Chairman.

John Gird, ) & .
t , t t Secretaries.
John Lawson, $
UCr*J. H. Davis, wishing to devote his whole
: time to his business, declines being a candidate
; to represent the Fourth Ward in the Common
council.
Fellow Citizens— Let one who was born
in the town—who has his whole interest—all he
possesses, or ever expects to possess—at stake
in the welfare of Alexandria—let such an one
entreat you, when you go tothe polls to-morrow;
to look at the qualifications of the candidates
for Council, and not to the particular calling or
profession to which they may belong. The only
questions should be, Is he competent? is he hon
est? and will he be faithful to the general inter
ests of the town of Alexandria?
March 3, 1834.
•--— - ---—
rCF3 A developement of what may be proper
ly termed a formidable item in the fiscal means
of the Corporation, was disclosed by a member
of the Common Council at its last meeting,
which produced in my mind, at the time, some
degree of astonishment, which still remains un
explained. In the mean time. I would ask, have
the Revenue Laws run into quicksands, and
there likely to stick? or was it the act ofomission,
by oversight, or the effect of design? I allude
to the tax on Ground Rents for the past year.
Match 3. Investigator.
It has been reported, with much zeal, that
the sole object of the Mechanics and Working
Men, in selecting candidates from their own
ranks, to represent the Fourth Ward in the Com
mon Council, was to have the Canal operations
“entirely suspended.” The object of this commu
nication is to correct this unfounded statement,
by giving to the public the real object of the
movement; which is, simply, to elevate that most
numerous and useful ciass of citizens to that
standingand influence in the community, which
their professions and interests demand.
Mechanism.
To the Working Men of the Fourth Ward.—I
trust that you were sufficienty convinced, by
Saturday night’s work, to what a state you are
sought to be degraded. If you were not dis
gusted, it was because you could not see and
hear. I hope this day you will show that you
are not to be insulted and degraded, and that
you will redeem your characters as men of sense.
I need not say more. A Working Man.
N. B. To show my opinion of recent affairs,
although, at first in favor of a change, 1 shall
vote for and support the following ticket:
R. 1. Taylor. John Collagen,
G. S. Hough, Jonathan Janney.
The following Ticket for members to serve in
Council for the Fourth Ward for the ensuing
year, will be voted by many who feel, and have,
Hppn intprp^t in thp nmcnpritv pfnur Town viy*
—-r - - -i-r -j —- ;
R. 1. Taylor, Geo. S. Hough,
Jonathan Janney, John Coha gen.
<33* To the Voters of the Third Ward.—The
following ticket is recommended, viz:
R. II. Miller, Robert Rrockett,
T. F. Mason, /A tf. Fiotetf,
These gentlemen have served the town faith
fully for the past year, and will be supported by
March 4. Many Voters.
IXf* Mechanical and Working Men's Meeting.
—At a large and respectable meeting of the
Mechanics and Working *klen, and friends of
that class, of the Fourth Ward, held at Mr. Isaac
H. Robbins’ School Room, on Thursday even
ing, 28th ultimo, to select suitable persons to re
present them in Common Council, the following
persons were unanimously nominated by said
meeting:
Reuben S. Bowie, William B. Richards,
Benjamin S. Kinsey, Richard Stanton, Sr.
March 3, 1834.
D33 I consider that we of the Third Ward
are faithfully and ably represented, and I do not
wish to see any of our Council men Worked out: I
I therefore beg leave to nominate our present
members to serve the ensuing year, who, I be
lieve, are:
Thompson F. Mason, Robert Brockett,
Robert II. Miller, Robert G. Violett,
A Voter of the Third Ward.
Many of the Working Men of the First Ward
have determined on the following Ticket as suit
able to their views, and request the support of
all others of that class of citizens in said Ward
to co-operate with them, at the next election for >
Common Councilmen:
Reuben Johnston, Thomas Swann, Jr.
Thomas E. Baird, Stephen Shinn.
