The New LEGISLATURE Legislature will
meet in Albany on Monday next, and, after the
election Of Speaker, will proceed to business
Albany legislation has hitherto been of any
thing but useful or healthy character, aud, as
far as this metropolis is concerned, it has been
most disastrous to its best interests and de-
structive Of its good government The incom-
Ing Legislature has it In its power to indemnify
this city for the evils inflicted upon it by
previous Legislative bodies, by amending the
charter and repeating the obnoxious laws which
weigh like incubi upon the body corporate.
But will it do SO? We fear not, but, on the con-
trary, that it will impose fresh jobs, railroad
schemes and street opening swindles upon us.
The slate is probably made out now, and the
lobby harpies al posted in their duties.

HEIPER's Book IN CoNGREss.-T republican
members of Congress who endorsed Helpers
infamous book have been wriggling out of the
responsibility upon several occasions recently,
in both houses, though few of them have the
frankness to condemn it 10 a Straightforward,
manly fashion. Partial disavowments and weak
apologies have indeed been forced from them,
and this is mainly due to the influence Of the
Union meetings. The Union meetlngs have
exercised considerable influence upon all par
tiee, and have already given new tone to the
harangues Of leading politicians. They are all
going for Union now. But the most conspicu-
GUS man in the House just now-the republ
can candidate for Speaker-cannot be got,
Though closely pressed, to really disaYoy Or

AMERICAN JoURNALrsM.--We see that new
journal has been started in this city, under the
title Of "The Spirit of the American Press"
The caption sufficiently indicates its plan.
That there is room for such an enterprise no
one can doubt. A journal that will devote
itself to the impartial reflection of the opinions
OF it's contemporaries can, il is certain, create
for itself respectable and Independent posi-
ton. There can be no better proof Of this
than the success which Galignani's Messenger
has met with. Published in Paris in English,
and uttering no political opinions Of its own, it
has obtained permanent hold Of public
favor by its honeat reproduction of the articles
of the English and French journals alike. The
idea was taken up some years since by an
evening paper in this city, but it has been 80
c'umsily and slovenly carried out that it
has served no useful purpose, and has reflected
no credit on the journal acting upon it. If
the editor of this new paper understands his
project rightly, aud does not allow himself to
be swayed by political or personal bias, he
will ACCOMPLISH what the other f.iiad in After
he has felt his way little, he will no doubt be
able to convert it into IN evening issue, and
thus enhance its popularity and value. We
would recommend him at the outset, however,
to be careful in his party classifcations. We
see that in his first number he sets down the
New York Times as an independent" journal.
The black republicans will be but little
obliged to him for this comical msnomer of
one Of their most efficient organ S.

SEWARD THROWN OvERBcARD.-The Hon.
Massa Greeley, in the Tribune of yester day,
throws Mr.. Seward overheard without so much
as solitary biscuit or drop Of Auburn rum
to console him. Seward will not do. Massa
Greeley's arithmetic can't figure up the votes
wherewith he (Sewarti) could be elected,
Votes are important things in such matters, as
Massa Greeley has found out many time
We were quite prepared, by our telegraphic
correspondence from Washington, for the aban-
donment of Seward. Our correspondent an
nounced that the feeling of the Republican
Committee ran towards the nomination of Mr.
Bates, of Missouri, which would be a very stu
pid thing to do--Mr. Bates having no strength
throughout the country, nor any particular repu-
tation anywhere except among his personal
friends in his own State. If, instead of taking
unite on General Scott, they could make good
fight. We commend this thought to the atten-
ton of Greeley, who, it seems, directly after
throwing Seward overheard, has walked off to
Canada, probably to examine into the
condition of the underground railway, look
after the fifty thousand fugitive slaves, and
procure copies Of any constitution for the 60
vernment of the United States that may be
floating about among John Browns friends,
black and white. And finally, we warn our
military and diplomatic contemporary, the
Chevalier Webb, to keep his eye on his black
republican confreres, for among them they will
spoil his Seward stock and cut his property
in the arch agitator into sausage meat

DolNa IT'S Dirty WORK AGAM.--'Tammany
Hall, unable to break down the national de-
mocracy of this city by its free soil Buffalo
platform candidate and its control OF the fede-
rul Offices, hired for the dirty job republican
journal which is ready for anybody aud every
bodys money. Having run away from Solse-
rino, after being entaagled for some time ia
"the elbows Of the Miacio," the "lissie villain"
on getting back to New York, hires himself
out like y Swiss, to the Sachems, to tomahawk
Fernando Wood and the democracy of Mozart
Halt Being signally defeated. overthrUwn, and
routed worse than the Austriaus in Lombardy,
the Tammany faction now direct their merce-
nary to say that the HERALD is an abolition
paper, because We published the republican
revolutionary documents which appeared in
the HERALD Of Saturday The rotten Tammany
faction sympathize so strongly with the anti
slavery principle that they vince like an old
CALLED jade which is touched with the whip ON
the raw when they see a thorough exposure Of
the doctrines of their brethren who only differ
from them in name. They are still smarting
under their defeat in the municipal election,
and they are reckless enough to say ything,
and their organ Is unprincipled enough to say
1t for them.
We supported Wood, not because we cared
any thing about him, but because he repre-
sented a principle, and because the corrupt
Albany Regency and corrupt Tammany Hall
leagned together to defeat him, in order to
carry out their programme at the Charleston
Convention. Cassidy q Co. betrayed the con-
fdence Of private letter Of Governor Wise,
in order to upset him in this State, and enable
them to pack the Democratic State Convention
and the National Democratic Convention.
Wood was a political friend of Wise and the
South, and twas deemed necessary to crush
him in the municipal election by a combination
of black republicans and Tammany free soilers.
This plot we determined to battle, and it ex-
ploded in defeat, US our readers know.
We now tell the Albany Regency, and its
confidence organ, and Tammany Hall, and its
little man of all work, that the Mozart Hall
democracy will elect delegations to Charleston
who will be received unanimously by the rep
resentatives of the South, and Wise and Wood
will be stronger than ever Let Confidence
Cassidy q Co. read Wise's Union speech aud
weep, and let the artful dodger who plays fast
and loose between TaDmany Hall and the re-
publican party read it, and blush for the dirty,
mean part he has sold himself to perform.

FoRNEY GETTING HuNGRY.-The Chevalier
ForDey is utteripg doleful lamentations over
the delay in organizing the House, and thus
protracting his election to the Clerkship. For
ney, 80 long deprived of the pickings of the
Presidential kitchen, is getting hungry, and he
is crying out piteously for victuals- He entered
the arena for the Clerkship with eight or nine
antiLecompton democrats, for sale like so
many mules; but all his donkeys have now run
away except three. He calculated upon twelve
anti-Lecompton donkeys at first and after
wards made sure Of about eight; but five Of
them-Adrain, Riggs, Clarke, Haskin and Rey-
nolds-have run away before he could get
price for them.
Is it not shameful that this man, with the in
fanny of the Forrest letter hanging about him,
and stepped in treachery to his best and oldest
friend, Mr.. Buchanan, who raised him out Of
the mire, should be candidate for the Clerk.

The House ORaANIzATroN-D rsnTEcRArroN
OF THE DEMocRAcY.-The contest for Speaker
of the House has again commenced, and will
probably last tho week through. The disinte-
grafton Of the democratic party is complete,
few Of the members submitting to any kind of
discipline, and each one acting ON his own re.
sponsiblity. Our Washington correspondent
tells us that quite number of them have still
got speeches to make-not that they will do
any good in the House or to the country; but
they are required for Buncombe, and each Is
expected to do the individual member an i'm
mense amount Of good at home. Never mind
the expense of reporting, at twenty five dollars
an hour, and twice that amount for printing,
and then an equal sum for Thanking the docu-
mcnts home to Buncombe-Uncle Sam pays for
all that out Of the public treasury. The result
