Politics and Politiciaws-Stedniboat Speculafions-
Repealers-I raueiieTs-I heat,icals &C.
AS the weather wakes warmer and the season adj
vances, the quarres and contentious increase
among the political leaders here and about the State
We have strange occurrences here, which plainly
indicate that the political leaders and placement are
uneasy in their minds and unsettled in their places.
Governor Marcy, II seems, was recommended to
the war department by men in whom the President
had much confidence; the appointment however, as
the ocofocos now say (and the truth of the fact
must say is now apparently was palmed upon the Pre-
sident, with the settled purpose of breaking down
Governor Wright and his administration at Wash
l,ngton. Mr.. Marcy was the friend and ally. of Van
buren as long the latter had cold vctuals or old
clothes IN his gtt; he endeavored in 1897 when the
subreasury scheme first started, to organize u
party IN opposition to MIR. Van Buren,; he, with
Beardsey, Clark, Ialmage, and some who shall be
nameless, openly endeavored to palm off upon the
general committee of Albany string of resolutions
and an address, denouncing the sub-treasury as a
rulnous scheme and warmly advocating the nursing
of local banks; but the young democracy of that day
and the barnburners OF this, rejected and kicked out
their balderdash and carried the party out Of their
hands. Clark and the others were in their oppose
ton, to a degree honest, for they persevered, but
Marcy skulked back. 1t became pretty apparent
last summer that the locos must break down, if
Bouck was re,nomInated for governor; in fact, it
was conceded that Harry OF the West would sweep
the State and then the Union, it Bouck was candi-
date for governor. In the face Of all this, Marcy rea-
soned after this fashion if Wright be nominated,
he will succeed and give the vote of the State to
Polk, and that will make him President. In that
event, "where shall go p 1t is safer to run u
chance of success with Bouck than run the risk of
Wright's nomination and my political damnation.
But in this he was again overfhrown by the young
locos During the campaign, Marcy laid plan 10
palm himself of as acceptable to- and in truth,
the leader of the locos. large meeting was to be
had and he seduced the youthful committee OF ar
engagements, and secured the promise Of presidento of
the meeting; but no sooner was this known about
the city than the mass rose In anger, and so great
was the commotion that the committee were COM
PEELED to wait him and give notice that he could
not preside-that the masses were indignant and
would create disturbance IT he appeared; and thus
he thrust out OF the communion of locofocoIsm.
And this is the man who IS now secretary of war;
at moment too when the services of most unbend-
ing, devoted, patrloticstaesmen wanted to stand
by our cOuntry's honor.
Marcy is, or rather was here, until few DAYS
ago. He came up from West Point for certificate
OF character, it is said, and although the party"
profess to be in much grief and in sack cloth and
ashes, at the announcement of the death of General
Jackson, he starts a committee around the city to
collect names to a letter, offering him dinner, and
goes of to Springfield to have IT sent to him. Is
honorable TO the locos however, that large majo-
rity of those solicited utterly refuse to be entrapped
with so stale trick. e#e..8I1
Steamboat speculation is all the rage now. The
Peoples Line boosted of dividing forty per cent last
year, and this brought on the immense fleet of steam
ers now upon and ready for the Hudson. Two
small craft, the Express and Belle started an oppo-
slton, and the Peoples Line put down the fare to
rs cents. The small boats however, their owners say
made fifty dollars per day at that price. but
Just the summer travel sets in, the Peoples Line
give bonus of $50, AGO to have the fare raised and
kept mp at dollar and half the green horns bite
and begin stealthily to raise the fare The conse-
quence is, that the large boats carry all the better
class and the small boats only the emigrants, and
trip now puts decent man in sad dilemma. No
doubt the old line now own these small boats.
