Thurlow Weed put in his place, as being in posses
sion OF keener razors and more soap srds II is now
believed that a complete change will be made in
the ofice-,hat it will be divided among the va
rious printers and editors of the republican party
and tha.the existence OF central newspaper power
at Albany will be abolished forever.
We do not see why it should not. Throughout
the State, there is variety of deserving men, con-
neeted with the newspaper press who lank lean,
and hungry, and it would be charity and justice to
divide The spos in some reasonable and particular
way, as 20 fl! up the crevlces in their tenements
OF flesh It is therefore, proposed to give the pub

bany, and TO throw open the printing Of legislative
documents 20 the whole profession, and the lowest
bidder. This would seem to be equitable-but what
ever is agreed upon, we hope The party will avoid
the same errors that have overwhelmed the wings
