SINGLE WoRD TO AN ALBANIAN. - The
Mobile Register, III commenting upon the sound
ness q the National Democrats Of New York
which 1t handsomely acknowledges
g that they should have suffered the personal
feelings OF their leaders to place them in has-
tility to the Administration.
Does the Mobile Register forget the origin of
this hostility between the Administration and
the /" Hards Z" Does it not remember that
Judge Bronson, Collector of New York refused
70 place in office, in 1858, the identical Softs
Who the Register noao admits have desertad
the standard of true Democracy - in 1856, and a
that he so refused because he insisted that these
men were still cleaving to Free-Soilgm. Does
1t not know that Judge Bronson was elected
rom once Tor acting on this principle, and q
plant tool put in his stead who has filIed the
offices with open Abolitonists-rnen who fiaunt
free-soilism in bar-rooms and public places,
and openly boast of 1t! III the Register re-
grets the course taken by Judge Bronson and
the National Democracy Of New York, it may
be assured they do not. The men who Guthrie
lnsls.eo were 1as good Democrats as we, are
proving sohdt they are, now that the ssspoils y
are all distributed and the offices filed. If the
register mas any doubt on the subject, let it
read the Albany Atlas, passim
The hostility Of National Democrats to the
Administration has been caused by the acts Of
the latter. and BY the measureless ambition Of
that hoary bargainer Of spoils, VIM L. Marcy. i
The National Democrats Of New York have re-
malned as they were They are as strong as
when they supported Cass and Butler and
spurned the Van Buren, treason They pelled
one hundred and fifteen thousand. votes for
Cass and Butler in 184S, one hundred thousand
for their State ticket in 1853, and ninety thou
sand for their candidates for Congress, (ayery
msn Nebraska many running on a Nebraska
platform, In lS54. And they will even do het-
Ter yet, IN November next A party possessing, 4
and likely to possess, such strength-Whieh has
proved that IT can exist without ofhce-which
rejects federal favor, except upon the terms of
the exclusion from Office Of al Free Sellers and
Aholitionists is determined to be reeog-
nized as the Democratic organization of New
YORK or not at all-may leave stregretse to-
others. It has none to make
n Z News (Dem.)
We have nothing to add to the foregoing,
save that the Democratic State Convention of
Louisiana, whioh met in Baton Rouge in June
last endorsed the administration thus truth
fully exposed and denounced. There never was
such a shameless administration. It has made
that of the 'straitor Tyler somewhat respecta-
BILE. An administration possessed of any de-
ceney at all, could not have succeededin accom-
ai,as.. IL =
