If we direct our attention more actively towards its accomplishment hereafter, it is because the necessity for so doing ia kept more immediately before us. Believing as we do, that power has been thoughtlessly bestowed upon the unworthy, we shall, acting upon that clause in the constitution which says, that it shall not continue too long in the same hands, (for it i; fit to cftrrufit even the tnoel Hon est J try to keep the people awake at least to the auty.thcy owe. to posterity.

elcction was not conducted conformable to the act of incorporation, as the judges appointed to superintend the same, omitted an CbMmtial requisite to legalize their proceedings : And whereas, we are of opinion that the charter should not lay dormant but that public guardians should bo elected conformably thereto. We the subscribers, acting under the said charter, as authorized therebv, do hereby notify and proclaim, that a poll will be opened at the court-house within said Borough, on Friday the Cist inst. for the election of Trustees, three from each ward.
