The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1848-01-05

Washington, and elsewhere, are beginning to
abandon al their old politicians and take up
| new man-Wor'h, probably-who is identified
with all the glores Of the Mexican war.
| With these remarks, we place the Governors
message before our read RS for what il is WORTH
believing that il will command the attention of
all inter. sted lin the political and commercial
affairs Of the State.
ATTEMPT TO Hoax Some of our good natured
| friends in Albany attempted to hoax US by run
ming q special express, with what they called
Governor Young's Message, delivered to the
Legislature yesterday They only half accom-
Pushed their purpose. After examining the mes
sage, we discovered several statements in it
differing from those in the Comptroler's report,
which we published yesterday, and of which
there was no doubt On referring to the Cover
nor's message of last year, we discovered the
trick. Some person in Albany, connected proba-
bly, with the friends Of the Erening Journal, un-
| dertook TO cut up an old edition of the Evening
Journal for January s, 1871, and take the trouble
of FASTING passages of the message on piece
Of paper, eraslng the dates that would con-
| flct with the present year, and thus ATTEMPT
ed 10 pass IT of the message of the
present year, expecting that they would make
a great noise, and accomplish wonderful point,
| by succeeding in hoaxiog the Herald office. If
they had succeeded a, as they desired, IN getting
US to pass off, as the message of Gov. Young
| that which was delivered year ago, for
that which was delivered yesterday, they might
| have crowed little. II is very true, there is
nothing very striking, or important, or able, in
the messages Of Gov. Young, 10 entitle them to
ha hvo 10 arfi n a r
noise about them. If il were document from
the pen of Mr.. Fillmore, the present Comptroller,
it would be different. Mr.. Fillmore is man OF
great and varied talent, sound sense, and compre-
hensive mind, and is we'll qualified to fill the
| post which has recently been occupied by that
able and honest man, Mr.. Flagg, who has just
retired from Office; but as to the productions of
Gov. Young, they are very much like the edito-
rails Of the Erening Journal, or the New York
7ribune-very trashy and. very silly-hardly
worth perusing.
AT all events, we give those chaps in Albany
who concocted this conspiracy to deceive US,
great credit for their motive. They meant to be
great scoundrels but they failed in doing so, and
intended to make great noise about it but the
result is, like a great many of their efforts to
compete with the enterprise, sagacity, and intel
ligence Of the Herald, complete and total
failure.
