"SKETcuEs OF THE NEw-Y oRK Press: Ry O.
P O. is the title Of an elegant shilling PAM
phlet Which has been some days on our table,
comprising Innings of the leading characters
ties of the Commercial ADVERTISER Evening
Post New.York American, Courier and En-
quirer,' Journal Of Commerce. Albany Argus
and Albany Evening Journal They are all
well written, on the whole clever, and appear to
be penned with entire disregard Of party aifines.
The Journal Of Commerce is treated better than
it deserves Of the fidelity of the other portraits
we will not speak. The following Of the Al
bany Argus however, strikes us as well done:
THE ALBANY ARGUS.
As political paper, the albany ArSuS ranks
among the most distinguished and influential in the
State, and is therefore entitled 10 a deliberate ard
respectful notice. 1t is the organ ofthc Van Buren
party in the North. 1t is the organ OF the Regency
-ofa body Of clever men, VITO, under the banner of
| Democracy and with single eve to tie pubic
rood monopolize the Offices of State, direct the
of Legislation and fill their pockets in way that
has been admired by their enemies and earied by
| their friends. Slde LeSgett account OF certain
'drippings.'
OF this Regency association, the Argus is itself a
yigilant aud an efficient member. II shares in the
tolls and dangers OF its specuaons and participates
in its profits and It's renown Its labors are arduous
its responsibilities great; but there pa
per better adapted the nature OF the duties it has
to perform or better calculated to sustain the posi-
ton il occupies. Cool sagacious, wachful and
wary il pursues its interests with eve that ne
yer winks, and wing that never tires" lfit has at
any time been unfortunate III Its moves, either per-
sonal or political, it must have been owing 10 cir
cumstances wholly at variance with The ordinary
course of events, and which no wisdom could anti
| cipate and 10 skill control.
| Ii has, however, in the MAN, been emnently sue
cessiu in is career, and deservedly so-tor It pos
sesses most of those high and peculiar qualities
which are 80 rarely combined, and yet whose COM
bination is so essential TO success. 1t has all the
p!ausbilites oftruth, without any OF its logged re-
alities and all the imposing attributes OF conscience,
without It's impairment scrupies. 1t has much OF
the agreeable light Of knowledge, without any Of
lis useless profundity; and much OF the rhetoric OF
patriotism without its exactions or It's zeal. IL has
the air of reace in the midst of conicl, and the SEM
blnce of kindness iii the midst of strife II has de-
Liberation n haste smoohness in asperlty, equabll-
! itv in passion, and temperance IN excess.
Nor are It's negative virtues less conspicuous or less
admirable 1t has no Improbable preferences TO
by il which is bound no inherent bias Of the mind
or trick Of the Imagination that lead its judg-
ment from the path Of policy. 1t has indeed nothing
in it, round it, or about it, that was "dyed N the
wool" save It's subserviency 10 party; or IN other
words It's innate adherence TO its otrn interests
But these negatlons, excellent as they are are mere
pecuarties, characteristic rather OF lis teEnpera-
ment than Of its power. To the latter, however,
eren these add strength, since they leave IT to act
/ without restraint.
lis power is real, active and efficient. 1t consists
