The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1856-03-26

| nomination Of Mr.. Fillmore has had one good
| effect at least. There lie prospect that it will
reform the Albany press. The newspapers in
| that city have heretofore been either engines
in the hands of INSCRIPTIONS politicians, like
| Croswell, Weed and Seward, or mere scaven-
| gers OF local garbage. Two new papers, m aAe
| cut of old ones, have now appeared. The
| Reverend Joseph A. Sccville, ex private secre-
| tary to john C. Calhoun, ex-hard shell demo
crat, ex-editor of the New York Pick, eE-New
| Jersey farmer, has become the proprietor o.!
| the STATE Register, which is now the size of q
| single sheet HERALD, and is sold at two cents
| per copy. The issue before US contains Mr..
| Scovilles manifesto, which is rather severe on
| Fillmore and in which he defines his position
as q national American, with the Order, for any
thing except MIR. Fillmore for President He
| alec denies giving that one hundred dollars
! for the conversion Of Kansas to Niger W0R-
SHIPPING doctrines by the aid Of colporteurs
distributing rifles, sabres aud revolvers He
further says that he intends to give Albany
| first rate newspaper--something 1t needs
| sadly. II he does this he will succeed; bat he
must be careful, or he will become more sec
| tiOnal than Seward himself. Then ne will fail
IN opposition to the Reverend Joseph A..
Scoville, q number of the State Oficers-Mr.
Headley, Secretary Of State, Mr.. Burrows,
| Comptroller, Mr.. Clark, Treasurer, Mr.. Whallon,
Canal Commissioner, and Mr. Benton, Canal
Auditor-have purchased the Albany Morning
| Erpress and issued it under the name Of the
Statesman 1t is to be the official Fillmore Know
| Nothing organ. We hope they will both go
ahead, and remember that the influence Of a
newspaper is in exact proportion to the enter
prise, ability, energy, activity and patriotism
of it's conductors.
THE CENTRAL PARK.--An attempt is being
made by some of Mr.. Stewards friends at Alba
ny to perpetrate another scandalous JOB. The
idea with regard to the Central Park is that
five commissioners are to be appointed by the
Mayor, subject to the approval Of the Alder
men, to lay out the park. They would be, it
was supposed, men Of sufficient leisure and
means to be able to undertake the business gra
tuitously and therefore only $500 Q year were
allowed them by way Of salary-enough to keep
the horse they will have to ride when they pro
coed to the Park in discharge of their duties
1t was also expected that they would ba men
of acknowledged taste and refinement; meu
who, having all their interests in this city,
would proceed to lay out the park in q manner
worthy OF the city.
1t is now proposed by Senator Upham e
NIGGER WoRsHIPPER, Of course,) that the a.p
pointment Of the commissioners be left to the
Governor. What the Governor Of the State,
who keeps hardware store at Canandaigua,
has TO DO with the park in this city, may well
be matter Of inquiry and wonder. Why not
say the President, at once: Why not consult
the foreign Ministers? These functiona-iss
are full as well qualified to lay out the park AZ
the Governor. Mr.. Upham's idea undoubteoly
is to provide berths for i've Of his friends, for
whom increased salaries will be demanded next
year in word, to make our park the instru.
ment for supporting his Niger WORsHIPPING
friends, ard serving the purposes Of his party.
Non. how soon will this mock auction concern
be kicked out Of the Senate?
RISE IN THE VALUE OF CITY PRoPERTY.-If
real estate in the lower part ofthe city continues
to rise much longer at its present rate, every
square foot OF ground win soon be worth It's
weight in gold. In proof OF this we have only
to mention the fact that the building at the
corner Of Murray street and College place (for-
merly private mansion0 which had been
rented to the government tor the United States
Courts at SIG, 500, is about to be torn down :,
make way for stores, which it is calculated will
bring the owner 1000 year. We're t."
proprietors OF the tombs in Trinity churchyari
at liberty to sell their interests 10 them, "
have no doubt that in year or two they mis-
dispose of them for the price of a New jersey
or Long Island farm
THE OPENING OF SPRISG.--By late despatch
from New Orleans we learn that an overflow y
the Mississippi river is feared, in which case
great damage would be done. We should be
thankful that here at the North, where the win
ter has been unprecedentedly severe, we have
had gradual thaw which, If it continues, will
save us from dangerous freshets As the wiz
ter at the South has been very hard one,
there may be a very sudden opening Of warm
weather, and much property destroyed when
the waters in the great rivers rise.
| SHE WOULD BE A Coop CANDIDATE.-A Fill
more paper at Washington says Banks declines
being considered candidate for the Presden-
cy, but hopes are entertained of the Hon. ABBY
Kelly. 1t is cheeringly magnanimous o.. the
part of Banks to decline what he probably
could not get, but Abby will do very well with
Blair, of Jackson's organ, at the tail Of the
! ticket.
TIE RECOVERED LIFE BoAT.-We learn from the manu-
curers o. Francis metallic life boats that the boat No.
2si3, picked up by the bark Leweyn, which arrived ~
Provide nee On Monday furnished the United states
rave, ma cutter Dobbin.
