ALBANY, Dec. %, lss3.
Candidates for Legislative Offices are continuing
to arrive. II is most singular, indeed that people
sense should be SO infatuated they are in regard
to this business of holding Offices To hold an of.
flee, no matter how insignificant it may be- would
seem TO be their highest hope, their Ell Dorado.
To succeed in this, rather in endeavoring to-
do MANY of them will sacrifice business, time and
money win the utter recklessness; and should
they be successful, what do they really gain in the
long rum Nothing-utterly nothing. They
ceive, perhaps, hundred two dollars nearly all
of which it is likely isswallowed by the increased
expense of living and the et etras when, had
they remained home, by strict attention to their
legitimate BUSINESS they might easily have cleared
double the amount, and retained their health and
temper in the bargain.
James r. Rose recently candidate for the
legislature from this county, is also mentioned az
candidate for clerk of the House. He is strong
man, Hunkerish, and will give Mr. Henry N.
Wales strong pull Mr. X. is Albanian, and
young lawyer OF much talent, and would make
good clerk.
Marshal J Bacon, late of New York, and now
OF this city, is also candidate for the cerkship.
Mr.. Bacon has many strong friends, and may sue
ceed He is well known in your city, having been
connected, too, with the corps editorial and should
he bring the city delegation to his supporhi chance
For doorkeeper several candidates are on hand.
M. ]. Smith, the late editor OF the Seneca Falls
Democrat, is, think, the most prominent. He
brings with him a sireng influence from the Wea.
Mr.. s. is certainly deserving of ii. He has labored
as arduously for the advancement of the democratic
party as any man in II.
A. H. Richardson, OF Madison county, lsanother
strong candidate. He comes well backed, and will
give the other candidates a hard run. Smiths
chances are the best
Mr.. Hoffman, from recent developments, | am
inclined TO think, will be the Speaker after all
The conservatives would hardly dare to throw over
board strong man, and more than all, they
fear him the floor, and thus they will be neces-
STATED to vote for him for Speaker.
Candidates, not measures are the all-absOrblnG
topics just now. There are many speculatonA,
however, relative to the tone and character ct
Gov. Bouck's message. 1t is asserted here, conf
IDENTIFY, that 1t will be rather more ultra than his
previous ones-rather more barnburnlng, II you
please. Constitutional reform and ALL will be swal.
lowed so to concate, &c. The cry OF 'Bouck
and one term has reached the ears Of his AGrcul-
turacy, and he begins TO find 1t necessary to bestr
himself if he wshesto retain his station for another
term.
There is good deal of excitement here at pro-
sent on the subject of lottery dealers The pub
fishers of the Tomahawk satirical print, have
been indicted for libel sundry lottery dealers-
They have been rather violent these gentry Tor
some time past, and now are preferring complaints
against the lottery vendors in retaliation. They
backed by the most respectable OF our citizens,
and it Is likely the lottery dealers will be made TO
suffer some. These are warnings to your friend
Moses Y. Beach and his carrier pigeon system
