lCorrespondence Of the HERALD

ALBANY, Dec. %, 1874.
DEAR SIR,-The anticipated entree OF the Cover
nor elect into this ancient seat Of political strife
and intrigue has set all eur various iques into con-
WILSON'S Of gui ,oi,css. Already our hotels and
boarding houses give evidence that applications
almost without number will be made. II seems to
be conceded on all hands that Prince" John
Van Buren, will be appointed Attorney General in
place OF General Barker, who retlres. This VIII
be popular appointment; tor as yet no one has
been found TO make objection. 1t may not be
over pleasing to COL Webb "of the regular army"
bat his opinions upon any subject are now regarded
every WHERE by every bodyas entitled to the least
possible weight and consideration. Some other
State offices may become vacant. newspaper
gossip says that "Major Flagg will probably be
called to the Treasury Department by Mr. Polk. -
ing politicians has offered to bet odds that Levi
Woodbury. OF New Hampshire, will be the man for
this place II is probable, however, that all these
matters are based mostly on speculation But upon
this subject wager has been made that Lew Wood
bury, George Bancroft, B. F. Butler and Roberl
Armstrong will be members Of the Cabinet after
the fourth of March next
We learn here that Judge Kent's anticipated re-
signaion has set several gentlemen in your city IN
motion Is true that there are SO many applicants
as is given out w. Edmonds, ]. S. Bosworth,
D. S. Cowdrey, G. Dewitt. we are told, are the
most prominent candidates. from the fact that they
are the most active and earnest in their Efforts
is limited that legal gentleman OF your city, whose
name begins with X, and sounds something like
Kent, a sterling democrat, a modest man, lawyer
OF some twenty years standing, and a tried person
al friend of the Governor, will be offered the place
of Circuit Judge. lie has no petitions in circula.
tlon and it is shrewdy supposed that none are ne
cessary in his case.
The Attorney General has gone to Columbia
county, to see after the Indians, and other vaga.
bonds in that quarter. The Private Secretary Of
the Governor has also departed for the same re.
gon The combined efforts OF these two may pos-
slbly effect wonders; not so great wonders, how.
ever az would be effected by the judlclous action
of some three hundred quiet armed men. Unless
there will be great trouble more, perhaps, than
can be now foresecn. Yours, truly, II.

Public Meeting last evening at the Taberna-
Gle, by the friends or Mr.. Cough, the Tenn
perance Lecturer.
The Tabernacle last evening was literally jam
med up by crowded and highly fashionable meet
ing, who came forward to testify the deep sense
entertained by the friends Of Temperance Of the
valuable services of this gifted advocate of the
cause.
Mayor HARPER presided, and introduced Mr..
Parker, Of New England, as friend OF the cause
of temperance, in the absence of Mr.. Cough.
Mr.. PARKER came forward and said he should be
happy TO address the meeting, but as he observed
Mr.. Cough present, he did not consider it good
taste to intrude speech upon the meeting, as he
recognized Mr.. Cough in the crowd.
Mr.. GeUeH then made his appearance upon the
platform, when
The BosroN GLEE CLUB came forward and sung
a very excellent temperance quartette, when
Mr. COUGH came forward and addressed the
meeting. In his opening remarks, he conplimented
the friends OF temperance who then came forward
TO testify their sympathy Tor the cause Of temper
ance, by coming forward on this occasion. Mr.
G. then gave most humorous account OF his
career as drunkard, and his subsequent CONVEX
sion to temperance. Since May, 1913, he had ira.
had been the means Of converting 81, 653 to tenn
perance. He wished to be brief, but when he saw
around him such vast concourse OF the friends OF
temperance who surrounded him, he felt deep
confidence in the success of the cause. 1t re.
CURED the most untiring activity on the part
of their friends to work the cause OF temperance.
IN New England some Of their friends advocated
the adoption Of moral suasion to put down intem-
perance; while others were in favor Of legal sua-
sion but there ought be decisive and united ef
fort made by all the friends Of temperance to put
down the enemy. Mr. G., after briefly reviewing
his past history and services in the cause of tenn
peiance, and admonishing the friends Of the
cause to make every effort to sustain il, conclu-
ded, when
The Boston Glee Club sung some excellent tenn
perance songs, when the meeting separated.
The tickets were each Is cents, and Mr.. Cough
must have realised a very handsome sum, as
scarcely seat in the immense building was va
cant.

CnfIetmab kaymn.
We won't give up the Bible,
Gods holy book Of truth,
The blessed stsff Of hoary age,
The guide Of early youth
The lamp which sheds glorious Ii yht
Ger every dreary road, -
The voice which speaks SavioI's 1--we,
And leads us home 70 God.
We won't give Up the Bible,
Gods holy book Of truth
We won't give up the Bible.
For it alone can tell
The way to save our ruined souls
From being sent to hell.
AID il alone can tell us how
We can have hopes OF heaven
That through the Savior's precious blood
Our sins may be forgiven.
We won't give up the Bible.
Gods holy book OF truth.
We won't give up the Bible;
But il ye force away
What is % our own life-blood dear,
We still with Joy could say:
"1he words that we have learned while young
Shall follow all our days.:
For they're engraven on our hearts,
And you cannot erase"
We won't give up the Bible, &c.
We won't give up the Bible
Well shout it far and wide;
Until the echo shall be heard
Beyond the rolling tide.
Till all shall know that we, though young,
Withstand each treach'rous art:
And that from Gods own sacred word
Well never, never part.
