ALBANY, Sept 2S, ls45.
Candidate for Senaor-Hcrease of Anti-renters-
Col. Young's Nomination, aud Probable Defeat
-Water-Gough, &C., &c.
The agitatng subject of the "Brdge" has thus
early been introduced, and the fact that the wiley
Troans have SO completely outgeneraled us in the
choice Of a Senatorial candidate, has awakened
such animated spirit amongst us, that the Albani
ans, nearly to man, will support any candidate
against Van Schoonhoven, who will advocate an in
terest for bridge. Weed deprecates Vans nomi-
nation upon this ground, and alleges truly that the
Albany candidate, Harris, was most shamefuly
jockied out of the nomination. Van Schoonhoven
being now on both the whlg and ant-rent tickets,
District, by six or eight thousand MAORI
ty, is conceded on all sides He is a
young man of toerable talents-belongs to
one of the ancient, wealthy, low Dutch fa-
mies-a thorough going whig, and endowed with
a considerable zeal and industry His opponent
will be selected from Greene county, and be either
Zadock Pratt late In Congress-James Powers a
federal conservative safety fund bankite--Johu
Adams, man weaker than either, and of no poll
lcle calibre, or Importance whatever Pratt would
poll more votes than any other man In the district

ing wonderfully every day Their converts come
mostly from the rough and ready fellows, who don't
possess inch of soil in the world, but cry down
with the rent" "down with every debt" 1t is a
species of agrarianism, without system or method,
and thousand times more damnable and danger.
Gus than the Reverend Horace Greeley's socialism.
The dreadful effects of these unlawful transactions
are beginning to be severely felt by those miserable,
deluded mortas, who already see the prison and
the gallows so plainly before them in Delaware and
Columbia. Antl-Masonry was proscrptlve, decep
tive and lntoerant; and as faction, would have
gladly ruled the country with its heretical and in
nj NJ pn aadh hvy,
suasion to a revolution through the ballot box. An
ti-rentlsm not satisfied with the peaceabe power o
the ballot. resorts to the wicked, deadly treasona.
BILE use of the bullet That's the difference
The nomination of Colonel Young for democratic
Senator in the fourth district was obtained by only
one majority in convention; which fact demon
strates the probability OF his defeat The wings
are as often successful in that district as the demo-
other old hunkers, will exercise, il may be con-
sldered doubtful whether old Snarleyou' will
succeed
Among the many improvements introduced into
our city, there are none deserving of more encou-
ragement, than Mr.. Webb's Gas Company. The
apparatus and buildings are now nearly completed
the enormous gasometer, finished, and lowered to
Its destined depth; the main pipes and conductors
mostly buried under the principal streets churches,
hotels museum, printing offices, and the stores in
the various business streets, all being prepared
for Its reception and use-whilst our city council
are gravey debating the question, whether the gas
cent, a cent and half an hour shall be paid for
its use. First, encourage Mr.. Webb and the Phi
adelphlans TO locate gas works here at enor-
nous expense, and then, Dutch fashion, bubble
about the price of using it. There is person in
the city but would prefer the gas 10 oil, for corpo-
ration purposes, WITH perhaps, the exception OF the
city marshal and the lamplighters. g We want
more light," as Alderman Haswel said.
And water too. During the intense heat and
parchlng drought of the past summer, the City
Council were choking for water. Committees
were appointed to explore the surrounding country,
report and plan to accomplish this all desirable OBJ
ject, and everybody was crying water, water
Well, the heavens have since opened heads,
and halt dozen showers of rain have graciously
descended upon u.s. But the idea of being furnish-
ed with constant and daily supply from the Cohoes,
or any other source, has utterly vanished from the
minds OF our city fathers. An aqueduct of eight or
nine miles would furnish inexhaustible quantity,
rlvallng IN extent your far-famed and deservedly
cherished Croton smart, raging fire, destroying
considerable amount of property might raise an
agitation again.
The state ment of Cough, published in the Herald
OF Saturday, gives better satisfaction than the
spurious one published by Dixon. The "man' IS
hand over the glass" affords satisfaction; but
perhaps 1t was the best that poor Cough could
resort to to establish reason why he became intox-
lcated. But there is no reason in 1t. What drug
could Jonathan Williams so adroitly throw into a
glass sf soda, which would instantly dissolve No
kind of liquid could have been thrown in with his
hand No, no; Mr.. Cough might as well apologize
for being on one OF his old fashioned sprees-that
he got beastly drunk-harbored in house of plea
sure and prosttutlon-spent his money freely for
brandy and other appertainlng luxuries-hat he on
ly fell one week from grace, backsllder Tor a sea-
son, and that now he restored, ask forgiveness
and ready to resume his temperance lectures.
