To quote from the Boston Advertiser : " Immediately after bis inauguration lie issued a proclamation which gave New- York assurance of a man. He followed up his words with deeds. The effect of his energetic action was instantly and powerfully felt.

He paralyzed the hand of barkeepers grown bold with long impu nity, by the sudden revelation of his name and office, and by the same talisman struck insolent policemen dumb in the moment of their mis conduct or their neglect.
