ANswspApER CnAnrER.-TnE ALBANY ARGus.-
One of tho principle fortresses of corruption and
misrule which had caused the revusion in trade and
the failure of 500 merchants last spring - the news
paper in Albany called the Argus" This detestibe
print Is perfect chartered lberne." II is the only
instance on record of newspaper established by q
charter similar to that of bank and possessing the
sole monopoly Of the public printing, public paron-
age and the manufacture Of public opinion.
Under the law which this print acts and receives
tho wages Of corruption, II possesses an exclusive and
perpetual charter fatal TO liberty OF thought than
all the rotten bank charters in existence 1t was this
organ which established the Safety Fund-broke the
srouRd for a removal Of the dcposites contrary TO
LAWS the ready agent of every new bank charter
the promoter of the airocous agrarian stop laws Of
las, session, and Is arayed against the Liberal
party of tins city, pronouncing Il a ticket "rtich
regret" and dissatisfaction.
We have no doubt the Regency scoundrels feel
what they say. They do "regret" the present state
Of things-hey may well regret the new organization
Of the Liberal party over the corrupt and rotten ruins
OF the Conservative faction in Tammany Hall. The
"hurrap which burst forth over Ncw-York ut that
nnion and organization tolls tho funeral kne OF the
Regency at Albany, and the Kitchen at Washington.
Every intelligent wing in the city will now vote The
Liberal ticket for the purpose Of breaking up the
CHIEF NUCLEUS Of corruption, that chartered
newspaper called the ALBANY Argus" We have
been ruined enough by bank charters and newspaper
charer',-n is full time to have change. Liberty in
rade-hberty in bankag-libcrty in thought-llberty
IN action Is the watchword Of this great day.
Honest independent whgs--vole for the Liberal
hcket-shat Is the only way TO crush the hydra Of
corruption both in Albany and Washington The
wing party at Masonic Hail is a-pack of assess
vertablc jackasses.

The loafers on the steps of the Astor House were
absolutely stutfed to the number OF horses ihat

Broadway, the whole day long. Stetsons dihner
table was deserted. A great many window panes
were broken in Broadway bylades IN their easerness
to get look at Bennets express riders, they could
not wait to throw the sash up but thrust their heads
throagh the glass.
Such a rafting of dry bones and horses hoois on

II The INTELLIGENT MERCHANTS now see the

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TARIFF,

We should find it difficult to express the
feeling produced by careful examination
of the tariff, which we have made, with a
view to acerlaln the effect that must result
from the adoption of the new bill brought
IN by Mr.. Cambreleng. Whoever reads
the compromise bill must see that it was
dictated by tender regard for all the great
Interests of the country, and that its author
desired to make the changes that had be.
come necessary, so gradual as to destroy
none OF those interest For that purpose,
the period of reduction was EXTENDED to
l842; thus enabling all to make the ar
Engagements required to meet it. That
such has been the effect, and that such
would continue to be its effect, as it came
gradually into operation, no man who has
attended to the workings for The last four
years can doubt. Every interest has pros
pered under il, and having had four year
experience Of its beneficial action, 1t might
have been supposed that there was in Con.
gress. sufficient wisdom to induce them to
refrain from further tinkerlng, and to per-
mt everv man to pursue his business in
confidence that the law was settled. Such.
however, is not the doctrine of the people
IN power. They have given Us "expen-

ECCENTRIC LETTER OF JOHN
RANDOLPH

The following letter, which was read in
evidence in n snit arising out of the late
Mr.. Randolp's various wills, is going the
rounds of the newspapers. That eccen-
trio person had such strange intellectual
habits, and acted upon impulses so singular
and able, that he forms mos,
interesting philosophical study. We have
always hoped that some diary or series OF
memoranda would be found among his pa
pers which, together with his letters aud
speeches., might be made the basis of a
biography. Such book would mako the
