The Albany Epening Journal says, with reference
to the attempt of the Herald to "bIack- mail' the

at is easy to understand men when you know
their ''ruling passion" Sawney goes for the ''sil-
ler." For lucre you have all he is has.
The Cabinet, loathing the miscreant, have had the
sense and honesty to let him alone. He and his
pack are now barking for bone. The Govern
ment advertising would make this political ogre as
abject as he il scurrous."

The game of the Democrats, in regard to the
Mosquito question, is, to press the Administration
to some extreme point of folly, and then ridicule
and abandon it-Jotv Of Com.
No doubt, like gad-hies, they will hover about
the premises from which they have been elected,
and sting whenever opportunity offers. Honorable
opposition, based upon principle or the merits of
the cause, is not to be expected. But those who
hatter themselves that the Administration can be
driven to ''extreme point of folly" by such
means and appliances, indulge vain fancy. 1t

The late Wing convention-after form
ing county ticket, which the Inquirer
tells us is composed Of men tried and true
adopted the following resolutions concern
ing the national administration, reported
by E. H. Grandin, esq:
"Resolped That the Wings and friends of Gene.
raj Taylor, in the county of Monmouth hail his
election a conclusive proof of the intelligence
and republicanism of the people; that they have
strong and abiding confidence in his honesty, abil,
iy, and patriotism; and believe that his conduct in
his high Office will continue to be, as it has been
hitherto, marked by singleness of heart and puri-
y aim unequalled since the administration of the
immortal Washington
Resolved, That we yield our most cordial appro-
val to his administrative policy, so ably exhibited
in his noble stand in vindication of our neutral du
ties; policy which establishes the teaching and
practice of the father Of his country and gives as
surance to the world, that while he will uphold
peace and concord at home, he will not forget to
maintain friendship and neutrality abroad
"Res0lUed, That inasnuch as President TAYLOR
found nearly all the Offices of the government filled
with members of one party only, his course in max
ing removals and appointing members of the other
party is not prescription but justice; and is in ac-
cordance with his declaration, that he would be
President of the whole people and not of a party"
