Revolt Against thc Albany Regency
1he Fruits VI Confidence Ca.sidy's
Treechefy.
From the proceedings OF a meeting of the
democratic electors Of the town Of Flushing,
Long Island, convened Tor the purpose of elect
ing delegates to District Convention to APP
point delegate 10 The Democratic Slate Con-
yer ton to be hcld at Syracuse on the 1lth
inst, we observe that symptoms OF revolt have
'ioIen out against the policy of Confidence
Cassidy and the Regency an example which
We have no doub. will be followed in other
quarters. The meeting decided, first in favor
Of leaving Tie choice 0: delegates to the Ma
tioral Convention at Charleston TO the masses
# The democratic party in their respective Con-
grcssional districts, or to district conventions
10 be chosen by the democratic masses for the
special purpose; second. that the delegate to
lie chosen from the Assembly district in which
Flushing is situated shall not be authorized at
lie State Convention to take part in appointing
delegates to the Charleston Convention; third,
that the meeting recommend that the delegates
TO he Charleston Conv ention be not chosen prior
70 January l, 1850.
We have no doubt that this is the beginning
Of a reaction against Confidence Cassidy & Co.
for heir base treachefy in the case of the Wise
letter, dictated not only by a sense Of disgust
IN The part Of the people but also by pruden-
tel motives, in order to prevent the packing
Of The New York delegation to the Charleston
Convention and to guard against the risk of
New York being left unrepresented in that ma
iional assemblage.
Amidst the boundless impudence of the Con-
iidencc man and the Regency, in brazening out
their own innocence and attempting to fasten
heir treachery on other men, there is evidently
sense of conscious weakness, guilt and pain,
evinced in the AHas-Argus which suggests that

We have put the saddle on the right horse,
and if his back was previously CALLED that was
moi our fault.
At the Coroners inque st on the body
Of Wise, Confidence Cassidy and the Regency
were loud in their protestations of innocence
bewailed his unhappy fate, threw out dark
hin,s at others, and when suspicion began to
iasten the crime upon themselves they openly
accused the euitor VI tnc nEi.A,D % .~...o
the bottom Of the bloody business. Fortunate
ly, however, we were able to produce damning
proofs against them, which left not shadow
of doubt about their guilt. The original let
ter was traced to their possession, and tho
copies were proved to have emanated from
them. They confessed the crime when il could
be no longer denied, but attempted to explain
it away The Confidence man being asked if he
had anything to say why sentence of death
should not be pronounced against him, urged
that be had received liberal education, just
as if by any kind Of manipulation or machine
ry silk purse could be made out of calls
ear He threw the blame of his dishonorable
act on the bed teachings of Professor Henry
and Dr. Mott, insinuating thereby that if he
had not had the misfortune Of being placed
under the training of Henry and Mott, and if
he had continued in the honest profession Of
his youth, he never would have come to this
untimely end. To the latter remark the
Judge assented, but added that to whom
quired and as for the education which the Con-
fidence man received he had no doubt was very
good, if it had only been put to good use but
perverted to such purposes, it became an ag
gravation of the Confidence mans guilt. And
tie Judge proceeded to pass the sentence of the
law. Then the rage of Cassidy knew no
bounds. but it was the bowling of the hard
ened convict against the District Attorney who
prosecuted him, the witnesses who gave their
testimony, the jury who found him guilty, and
the Judge who pronounced the sentence of ex-
ecution consigning him to an ignominious
death.
Themotiye ofthe foul political murder Of which
the betraycr Of confidence has been convicted
was TO enable him and the Regency, whose tool
he is, to arrange the delegation to Charleston in
such manner as to suit themselves. They
shrewdly calculated that the people, taking Of
fence at even the good advice Of stranger to
organize by districts would resent this as dicta-
ton, and running into the opposite extreme, fall
into the trap prepared for their feet by Cassidy
q Co. And undoubtedly such would have been
the effect had not the hand of the Regency
been traced in the whole affair, and the plot
exposed, which we think will be very likely to
have the opposite effect to that intended by
those who played the confidence game. They
did their best to destroy the evidences of their
agency; but in the case of even the most ex-
pert murderers something generally turns up
to coniound them. This was manifested in the
instance of Professor Webster, who employed
all the skill with which chemical science en-
