The Ripple at Albany.

Our fortunate cotemporary Of the Albany Argus
is too flushed with his recent victory over the Lo
CO. Focos and us in regard TO the State Printing,
and betrays his excitement in manner exceed
ingly inconsistent with his proverbial discretion
Toward US he behaves with the equanimty be-
coming victor-and we'll he may, considering the
uniform and effective support we have givon him,
in prejudice of our own chance but the Loco-to.
cos he belabors most imprudcntly. He evidently
makes the serious mistake Of suPPosins them no
stronger than they were when he used to read them
out of the party call them Agrarans and lunatics,
and turn them over to the Wings, say in 1867;
and when our facetious Lieutenant Governor gol
up his imaginary procession of the Locofocos
drummed out Of the Republican camp, headed by
their " Reverend Clergy," Joe Smith, Fanny
Wright, Levi D. Slamm, Alex. Ming, &c. This
is all wrong. Times ant now as they used 10
, have been,' and the Loco-Focos are q formidable
and stubborn host, upon whom kicks are i'll spent
and who must be cajoled. and blarneyed, and BAN,
beozed, by the old Bank Regency, until the reins
are more firmly in their grasp. They are not TO
have any thing tangible valuable of course; that
weuld be CONTRARY to the usages of the Republi-
can party" but they ought to be souged politely,
and not with pick-ax: or. as the song has it
sIsupp,se il was right to disSemble your love,
But ,rhy need you kick me down stars
Mr.. Croswe and his clique have taken all the
Spells, as we always con,endcd they should; but
in proceeding TO kick their late compatriots down
etairs they have committed blundcr aud must
make amends for IT, We won't stand by and see
even real Bentonian used SO.
Mr.. H. II. Van Dyck appears in the Albany At
las (,he organ of the Junior Democracy with
an expose of the late troubles in regard
Printing which do nj look well for our candidate
for State Printer. Perhaps the gentleman can
explain;' at any rate he ought to. Mr. Van Dyck
is one.third owner Of the Argus, the Messrs Cros
wells owning ;ke other two-thrds; and 1t seems
shey have taken fercible possession ot The whole,
abuse him badly though obscurciy in its columns,
and then efuse him an opportunity to captain or
<snspcr in his opn paper That will never do.
MIR. v. d. says ho wen, into the Argus in S39-
40, when the Printing had jus, been lost and the
party was at its loves, cbb, with the distinct un-
derstanding with Mr.. E. Croswell that he Wan
Dyck4 should be the State Printer whenever the
party regained power; which agreement MIR. Z.
now no, only refuses to fulfil, but even to allow Mr
W D. to buy floating share of the Argus, so as TO
make him half owner OF the paper, and so an equal
sharcr in the State Printing. Mr.. V. D. on this
withdrew frem the contest, and Mr.. Croswell, by
the use of Governor Bouck's and influence,
triumphed over MIR, Bryant and was chosen. Such
is Mir. V. DIS story, aud, unless i, is rebu;ed,
Joy at the success OF our candidate for State Printer
will be dashed by a conviction that it was not
achieved according to Gun,er.'
