SINGULAR MOVEMENTS AT ALsAnr.-we per- |


Albany-the wings and locofocos-have had large
meetings in the Capitol, and denounced, in the
most unmeasured terms, the recent movements
and triumph of the American Republicans in this
city This vehement denunciation-which is as
brter as bad temper can make its backed up by
the argus on one side and the Evening journal
on the other, with all the cold hunkers," SIMON
gre, hound and cur of low degree" that ryelp in
the train of party. They call the ''natives'' OF
city reformers of New York, "malignant fac
tion"-a ''proscrlptiyc set OF men," and apply to
them all sorts of opprobous epithets for the pur-
pose of bringing them into derison and contempt
| We are not at all surprised that thesuprisng OF
the people of New York in opposition to the miser-
able political dictation of both the old factions,
should alarm and exasperate the two "regencies'
at Albany, and make them vomit forth their fury
in this way. They regard it as exceedingly i'm
pertinent in the people of New York to elect their
own officers, without first ascertaining the DISPOSE
ton of the people of Albany. These old political
hacks would have the people of this great city
send up their list of candidates for Offices, in order
that it might receive the approval OF the political
leaders OF both the old factions. And because
they have dared to think and act for themselves in
this important matter, they abused and
denounced with all the viruence of party hate
Is not this strange? Where can such mpudence
find its parallel? Was ever known such effronteIy
as that of these wing and locofoco leaders, who
thus come toward and denounce the majority of the
people of the city of New York because they have
done what ?-because they have committed the au
dacious crime of selecting their own officers! 1t
is certainly most gratifying to every lover of good
government and the freedom of election, to find
tb,t thare or. OOO inianandant nd honact oil
tors in this city, who have conducted themselves
with such independence, energy, and freedom from
all party shackles, as to call down upon them the
abuse of the leaders of the old rotten factions
We trust that at every election for many years to
come, these party hacks at Albany will have the
same reason to wall and splutter.
NEW MODE OF RAISING THE WIND.-A very in
genous mode of raising the wind, practiced by
jeweller who keeps a small store in the upper part
OF the city, has just come to our knowledge. 1t
seems that his wife has her millinery establishment
in the place, side of the store being occu-
pied by her lace and ribbons, and the other by her
ingenious partner, the worker in gold The plan of
operating was ths-ifan elderly lady whose respect

Gated that she favorable victim, the jewellers
wife would, after learning the article wanted by the
customer leave the store for the ostensible purpose
ofbrnging il from the back room. At this moment,
the eweller, who was always seated at work in his
side of the store, would start up and acuse the lady
of secreting piece of ribbon or lace or some other
article which might be on the counter. The lady
would of course, become perfectly astounded, and
then the scoundres wife would re-enter the store,
ready to swear that she saw the lady overwhelmed

theft would then be threatened, unless "settle-
ment' were made, which in several cases was ac-
tually submitted to, one lady paying fifty dollars,
in order to avoid the annoyance of being brought
before the public eye in such Notifying circum-
stances.
This Infamous rogue is, however, likely soon to
meet public exposure and punishment at the bar of
the Court of Sessions. few days since he made
an attempt such as we have described in the case of
highly respectable lady, who at once comnuni-
Gated the matter to the District Attorney, and under
his direction the case will come before the Grand
Jury next term. The lady, we may add, was so
shocked at the gross outrage that she has been
confined to her bed since, her spirit having been
so deeply wounded, that she has refused necessary
nourishment. 1t is to be hoped that she will per-
