Mr.. BENNETT
II is an old but wise remark, that " the CALLED
Jade winces." Your correspondent hops round like
corn on hot griddle, under the just castigaion he
has received for his mercenery ISLANDERS OF the
Schohare Farmer" 1t is significant that he does
not deny that he is disappointed Office seeker.
You are fully capable OF approaching the amiabe
temper OF such characters, and hence will leave
hun to the generous indulgence of your readers. He
claims to be an ultra democrat, and yet he censurcs
Governor Bouck for not using the pocket veto, -
in order to avenge the intended insult of the Senate
IN abolishing the office of Bank Commissioner
Your correspondent is rare bird he would make
the Executive the mere organ OF his private passions
(he true indications OF arbitrary sprit) rather
than the COOL unimpasslOned executive of the peo-
to Be.
Your correspondent talks about the Governors
{" conservative cabinet" The only men known
here and acknowledged by the constitution, are
Comptroller Fldgg, Attorney General Barker. and
Secretary Young. Can it be that Barker and Flagg
have become " conservativesP' 1t Is not unknown
here that both of these able heads dlsapprove-
though they do not like openly to condemn, the re-
pudlating sentiments of Colonel Young This, In
the eyes of the disappointed, office seeking barn
burners, may expose Barker and Flagg to the charge
of conservatism. AS for the honorable Secretary,
he stands alone. His warmest friends do not justify
his repudatIng doctrines. We are sorry for him.
His position is unlenable, and he feels this. His
fierce passions have led him as,ray.
Ii is one Of the most singular features OF the last
legislature, that the "Publc Faith" resolutions in
troduced by Senator Foster were laid the table,
and thus virtually killed by coalition of the wing
Senators and the barn-burners. Thurow Weed was
very busy in bringing about this result. Since the
adjournment, Weed is continually plastering the
Roman firmness" of the barn burning Senator's and
particularly Mr.. Recorder Strong, who succeeded
by his own efforts in holding the office of Recorder
Of Troy, in violation of the constitution. David
Buell. jr, one of the first lawyers IN the State, was
nominated as his successor. He was rejected by
the plots OF Senator Strong, who now holds over"
The Governor us as calm as a summers morn
ing" His discriminating mind clearly perceives
that when the passions get the mastery, individuals
will ride to the devil, without any additional tilt
ing.
sion to have the influence they apprehend among
the people They are gradually using themselves
up. "ThOse whom the Gods would destroy, they
first make mad When they. return home they
will find their constituents capable OF distinguishing
between patriotic resolution and factious opposi-
ton.
The Lieutenant Governor is about replying to
Col Young This, with the various squlbs that from
the Secretary in constant fever of excitement
His hand just now islaganst every body and every
man that questions any of his dogmas. BY plas-
tering over his foibles, does your correspondent
hope obtain Office in 1874 when his dear friend,
the Colonel is elected
The Governor is about rustcating for few days
in his ancestral home, on the banks of the beautiful
Schoharie.
Albany isqulte dull since the adjournment; but
the ladies, like the flowers of spring, are budding
most beautifully-and Heather must he be, who
does not admire the beauties of Gods creation.
