these patriots II can nominate no whole ticket
that they do not discover a necessity for killing,
either by openly denounciDg or stabbing BY an in
sidious and hollow support Their luck is usually
best in defeating those they pretend to wish elect

Stated in the plsnest terms the issue they make
up is this--The Albany Evening Journal, The Tn

vice. even in the way of barren honors. In this re-
spect the contrast between our candidates and the
perpetual ohiccbolders opposed to them ought to
and must have weight with the public. 1t is sin
gular good fortune that four men able and so un
exceptionable should be found aud nominated who
would consent to be held up candidates for a
service so inadequatey rewarded.
Bot two Of the number suspected, whether
with or without reason. to be uniavorabe to the
malcontent platoon of journalists and would be
leaders, and the word has gone forth that they
are to be crushed. The pretext for this has been
found in the fact that somo ten or dozen respec-
table citizens representing the adyersares of the
PATRON interest in State-or rather of its per
petuity--assembled at Albany on the 2lst, and
selected these two candidates from the Wing
ticket TO be supported with portion Of the rival
ticket by those who are termed Anti. Renters
