I P. i I 2 iJ .4 BTsninc post, TUESDAY. APRIL 6. Ward Elections A week from to day the election for charter officer under the new charter will take place. We trust that the friend of the national and atate adiainialrationa are a ware of the importance of acting with promptitude and energy la the wards where the line between opposing candidates is dstinctly drawn, as in the second, third, and siith, there ean be no hesitation.

In these wards, the candidates on the one aide are well known as firm unlxsnding friends of the administration, as men entertaining liberal and enlarged notions on the subject of trade, and as advocate of system of citv government which will greatly nnAur tn avantnffe of their constituent. Their opponents, are likewise opponents of the present state and national government, they have hoisted the standard of Henry Clay, and are wedded to the pernicious and oppressive system of which he claims to. be the father. Where the contest is between persons of uch opposite principles, there should be no doubt as to which ticket will receive the hearty support of the administration party. trust that our readers residing in those wards will bear mind this difference between the candidates.

The result ol the approaching election will exercise an important influence throughout the state, and as it is for or against us. will have a highly salutary or prejudicial effect on the autumn elections. There are several unfortunate dissentions in some of the other wards there are splits among our friend, and op posing candidates are presented for the suffrages of their follow citizena.who on both sides are undoubted friend to the administration. This circumstance is to be re gretted, but it only calls the more imperatively for union and energetic action in ihjse wards where the choice is between Jackson men and Clay men. If our party act on the coining occasion with but ordinary energy una nimity, there is little doubt that we shall have a respoct ahle majority in the city councils but let it be retnisn ber.d and we would especially call the attention of tho citizens of the second, third and sixth ward to the fact that this desirable result can only be secured by concord and activity.

In those Wards where dissentions and splits have place among our friends, we trust it is not too late to effort reconciliation. The interests of the party point decidedly to a course of concession and forbear ance. Were we but united among ourselves; there can he no doubt that we should carry our ticket by an over whelming majority. If in consequence of our divisions we should be beaten, and the opposition should get their candidates in, we shall have only our own rashness and obstinacy to blame for the result. Should the breach not be healed should a compromise nut be ef fected, for which there is yet time such an event is by no means improbable.

We again ask our friends to for get petty and local differences, in the paramount im portance of securing the victory to the Jackson ranks. The Burgtus Dinner. The dinner given in this eity, the other day, to Mr. Burgess, one of tlie Representa Uvea in Congress from Rhode Inland, coming, as it did immediately alter the dinner to Mr. Webster, and eclipsing the glory of that festivity, reminds us of an anecdote related of the painter Hogarth.

This artist had from some cause or other taken offence against the Freemasons. Instead of immediately manifesting his resentment, he wailed quietly until the approach of St. John's day. when the fraternity, according to cuxtom were to march in solemn procession through the streets of London. Hogarth advertised a procession of the Hvm through the same streets at a later hcu nf the same the announcement drew together a vast multifile of spectators.

At tho appointed hour the brethren of the niaionic fraternity passed through the streets with their ensigns an badges, and jewels of their order, their knights templars, grandmasters, high prissls.and the whole array of worshipful, right wor shipful officers. Hogarth had got together his bnnd of Ilum dragons, composed of chimney sweeps, night men, coal men, rag gatherers, and all the ill looking or fantastic vagabonds that could be collected from the dirty lanes of the city, and had posted thr in in one of the alleys leading into the Strand. As soon as the freemasons had displayed their whole length in this great thoroughfare of London, and at ihe very moment when the last of the gorgtwus procession had passed the head of the alley, the Hum dragons wheeled in, and ith grent gravity and solemnity took their place behind them. The freemasons were by no means satisfied with the appearance of those who followed in their train, but aa they could not prevent their marching in the public streets, they were obliged to submit, and suffer their ragged rivals to bear aw ay the glory of the day. The Hum dragonM of course attracted the greater ahare of the public attention, and the next morning the town talked of nothing else.

Thus, in our own city, the fca, got op in honor of a distineiiished Senator was hardly finished the "baked met." were hardly cold, which had been carved by ex chancellors and ex had supplied the wealth, dignity, fashion, "pomp and circumstance" of the Adams and Clay party when in come the Hum dragons of the same party, wilh Gen. Van Rensselaer (who is not Gen Stephen Van Rensselaer, of Albany) at their head, and Matthew L. Davis at their tail, in troducing an imitation of the same festivity a dinner, or rather a refection," got up in honor of Mr. Burgess In all things they have endeavored to rival the example of their betters. They occupied the same room their dinner was quite as splendid, their toasts as numerous.

and the speech of their guest quite as long and. being logical, more discursive, vituperative, and restrictive. has enabled the Clay Humdragons completely to eclipse the glory of the more sober, respectable, nnd worshipful portion of their party. The speech of Mr. Burgess has just been published, and may be seen in the journals in the interest of Mr Clay, where it occupies five or six closely printed columns, having consumed an hour and three quarters in the delivery by the stop watch of the editor of ihe Coin fruit of the earth, and there be those ho mignt loos, on nil these provisions of the and on us as assembled here, with no better purpose than ordinary refirclion, the mere every day operations of mastication and swallowing, such men may bst take their viands by themselves, ucu una gnawing his hone, aod growling his orisons, if he make any, in the solitude of his own den.

To the last moment Major Ferguson maintained that the officer who life he had spared was Washington and it is probable that the story in circulation ha nroceedrd from this opinion.

But on the other hand, Mr. De Lancey, to whom the person of Washingten was necessarily so well known, constantly affirmed that his commander was mistaken. 1 have often heard Mr De Lancey relate these circum stances, and though he never pretended to beure of the person ol the unknown horseman, it was nts opinion, from some particulars of dress and stature, that it the Count Pulaski.
