Our friends the black republicans not in a very
amiable mood just at this present writing. Their afir
have been badly managed and their temper is of
the best under ordinary circumstances the times
that try men souls have come the temper Of amia
Bile opponents not equal to the fire The bad basting
they got last fall with the laundering of the Rocky
mountain pony and the failure of Mariposa to pay the
cost of the race was hardly discomftng than the
result of the triumph in this State And the futile at
tempt to take the government of this city out OF the
hands of partisan politicians" by placing over us a
board of the most unscrupulous party hacks that
took the oath of oficequaifed they werethe eff
fort to malgn New York by putting her under the guar
danship of Albany is like the ancient exploit Of the
man who succeeded in scuttng out devil only to
admit seven worse and malignant ethan he" AS
an indication of of alarm and vexaon of
opponents Just read this extract from the organ OF the
dominant party, located in Troy copy from the Troy
Daily Times
1.-THE Buffalo Republic which rendered efficient service
to the of Fremont during the last campaign
in the issue of Thursday its return to the demo
cratic ranks The New York Times and Buffalo Express
may also be considered lost to the republican party
Other influential journals will doubtless follow The
fact is which admits of dispute that the strength
of the republican party in this State Is by equal
to that of last fall The unwse efforts of demagogues
prostitute to unworthy purposes the power which was
placed in their hands the tyrannous schemes of special
legislation which disgraced the session of last winter
coupled with the fact which is becoming too apparent
that the just and popular principles imboded in the
publican platform of the last campaign in danger of
being made secondary to personal schemes combine to
weaken and dsorganize the party and unless its unwse
friends their internal schemes tending to dssenson
it win be question for time whether the organization
which, in the fall election with Fremont at its head,
swept the State by nearly hundred thousand majority
will not be gnominiously defeated in the approaching
election"
Another occasion Of great anguish of mind to the
puboans is the election of the of Henry Clay to Con-
gess democrat and the great barbecue to be held
Ashland in Kentucky, in honor of the triumph of the DEM
ocratic The New York Courier and Enquirer and
the Tribune hardly contain themselves in view of
whole roasted the estate Of Mr. Clay and thou
sands of democrats at the retreat of Ashland celebrating
the triumph of that great national party that Mr. Clay
opposed furiousy and so gallantly. And the Trb-
une thinks the bones of Henry Clay will rattle in their
coffin at the great desecraon Now the real joke of the
thing is, that MIR. Clay himself had he been alive,
would have been at the head of the sivty and the party
with whom his political life began, and who till he left
them delighted to honor him would have welcomed him
back to the true fod and the star of his morning
politician and statesmen would have stood his de-
cline and been the evening star of life All know full
well that the only surviving of Daniel Webster is
veyor OF the port of Boston, and his position
democratic President by whom he appointed and
the great Ajax of the late whg party not only deserted
that band when they abotionized the party but
seed all his friends to have to do with the
pany And the leading wings, from Maine to Georgia,
when the choice came, held to the Union and let party
GO No! Mr. Cays bones, if they rattle at all will do
with joy at the defeat of sectonasm the hand
and religious prescription the other When that great
barbecue comes of, there will be some quaking and
rattlng of bones but it will be north Of Mason and Dix
line and in the shoes Of those who uphold sectional
asm. But this revolution, East West North, and
Souththis grouping into the ranks of democracy the
leaders Of great defunct paryths occupying of an
enemys fort and firing salutes with the guns loaded to
shoot the victors down not agreeable But must
keep their temper when the thermometer is 80 in the
shade.
The Young Mems Republican Club of the Sixth Ward
met last night, and resolved that Mr.. Simeon Draper
having resigned his post and thus placed power in the
hands of Mayor Wood, had become the Benedict Ar
nold of the republican party
The Daily Times has made Mr. Busteed the corpora
ton counsel the subject Of frequent and malicious at
tacks The great crime of Mr. Bustced seems to be that
he is of Irish descent had started in life without aid and
made himself and position that his assaants
envy But the other day the Times laid to Mr. Busteed
account charge of grave and serious nature 1t
less than aocing Mr. Lowbee to obtain through the
negligence something worse on the part of Mr. Bus
teed Judgment against the city Of nearly 5000 900
But investigation, it turns out that the city bought
of Mr. Lowbee the site for market that the deeds
all made out in good and legal form that Mr. Flagg
the comptroller refused to pay the money that Mr. Low
bee sued the city that the counsel to the corporation had
defence to make and the refusal of Mr. Fagg to pay
the due from the city laid the city liable to loss to
the amount of ten thousand dollars beside the claim
