and vehement in their denunciaons OF the corrupt policy
in which the wings forced their nine million canal loan
through the legislature in defiance OF the constitution
and they condemn still more unsparngly the foul and
desperate spirit in which the orgnators and authors Of
that scheme of plumber and vany" now assa the SUI
preme judiciary OF the State for crushing it. We copy
remarkable paragraphs this point from Mr. Fill
home organ the Albany State Register Our readers
will remember that the Register speaking of the Alba

have for years controlled the wing party OF the Empire
State and through that State made mark broad and
deep on the wing policy Of the whole country:
