The ALBANY REGENCY AND THEIR TREAoHE-

ton of our democratic readers (who are not
bound down hand and foot to the freight train
Of the Albany Regency to the protest Of thc
Niagara county democratic delegation to Sy-
racuse ION the l4th inst) against the treache-
rous conduct of Peter Cagger in that Conven-
ton. This protest is very interesting docu-
ment, and forcibly corroborates all that we
have said of the unblushing impudence, hypo-
crisy and treachery Of Confidence Cassidy,
Cagger, Richmond, and all the rest of this Al
bany junta. The protesting delegates in the
premises, Robert Dunlap and Elijah Mather.
genuine and responsible men, complain not
only that they have been basely cheated in
reference to the Charleston Convention, but
that "the friends Of the President have been
in nearly all cases ignored in the delegation"
and that his bitterest and most uncompro-
missing enemies have been selected In this
view Of the subject it might perhaps be worth
the trouble on the part of Mr.. Buchanan to look
into this business, and to see how far the re-
cipients at New York, Albany and elsewhere,
of the federal loaves and fishes are among the
guilty parties. A few heads dropped into the
guillotine basket at this crisis would operate
like a charm in favor of democratic harmony,

sident Fillmore, ex-President Tyler, or EXPIRE

Indeed, Mr.. Dickinson at Syracuse was as effec-

his friend Seymour, OF the way to Charleston,

be seen that Poor Pierce, though somewhat in
the background as a Presidential aspirant, has
plenty of company; and by the month of June
next the Great Eastern will not hold the disap
pointed expectants and their disciples who are
plotting and contemplating for the Charleston

vessel of her dimensions can come through that
channel is demonstrable at once by reference
to the chart we give below. 1t has been ascer-
tanned by the recent trip from the Thames to
Portland, Dorsetshire, that the Great Eastern
drew at that time twenty-five feet of water;
what she will draw on her arrival on our shores
remains yet to be seen; but supposing that she
requires maximum of thirty feet when loaded
as stated, it will be seen that the Sound offers
channel of sufficient depth from Montauk Point
to Tooth street. so that whatever doubts may
exist about the possibility of crossing the bar
at Sandy Hook there are none as to the practi-
cability of her coming through Long Island
Sound. BY this chart it will be observed that
a channel runs clear down to Tooth street, hav-
ing a minimum depth of thirty-two feet,
which is more than the monster ship will need
when fully laden:-

AIR NAVIGATION OVER THE ArLANrIc-THE
AERoNAUTs PREPAR1NG.-Mr. Lowe, the aero
naut, is now bringing to completion, overin Ho-
soar in the empyrean with which he intends to
attempt an aerial voyage across the Atlantic.
Others are preparing for similar trips. Mr.
La Mountain intends to cross the ocean in two
days. Previously, however, he will make
one or two more experimental ascensions !;
the first from jones' Woods, on the 4th Of
October, and the second on the 9Th, from
Albany. AS Mr.. La Mountain is to sell
by auction four seats for passengers on his
trial trip from jones' Woods, after the fashion
Of selling seats for the opera in Jenny Lind's
heyday, we may send special reporter aloft
with him to furnish us with correct de-
scription of the ascension, the speed of travel,
the action of the thermometer and barometer,
and all the phenomena which may present them
selves to his astonished gaze during the two
days which the trip will last, and perhaps fur
nsh us with an intelligent criticism on the
emusic Of the spheres" Accounts of this kind
have often been given by aeronauts themselves,
but we arc going to try now what reporters
account of Il will be.
Crossing the Atlantic in the air within two
days is something OF an enterprise; but why
cannot it be accomplished? Nothing seems
impossible to the scientific genius of this gene
ration of an age which has comprised almost
miracles by the aid of science and art
from the simple yet now indispensable lucifer
match, up to the wonderful dagucrraetype and
Photographic process, which can now alike
represent ia SECOND Of time the bomb.

Here, it will be seen, is a channel with an
average depth Of hundred feet the entire
way at low water.
Should the Great Eastern prove a success, as
we doubt not she will, her advent here will
open new era in the history of New
York. When the Great Western, the first
Atlantic steamship, arrived here, the event gave
an immense impetus to the commerce of the
metropolis, and at once established New York
as the great commercial entrepot of the New
World. 1t opened up the whole enterprise of
ocean steam navigation all over the globe, and
now every steamship which comes to this coun-
try takes New York for her destination, so that
the number Of large steamships in our waters has
become equal to that of the ferry boats cross
ing the two rivers The Great Eastern will
effect as great revolution for New York in the
future as the Great Western has done in the
past. Not alone will she and the other steam
ers of like dimensions which are sure to follow
her, impart immense strength to the growing
commercial destinies Of the city, but they will
revolutiOnize the face Of the city itself.
Business will be transferred to the upper
end OF the town, where no one of this
generation expected to see it extend, and the
whole island will become one vast commercial
mart, with its centre about the line of 1O6th
street. What a change The trade created by
vessels Of the present dimensions entering the
harbor by Sandy Hook, will doubtless continue
to be transacted down town, as now; but the
trade whose growth the new lines of monster
ships will create and foster must concentrate in
the vicinity of their anchorage.
The distinctions presented by He'll Gate
and the islands in the East river it is
thought, may prove a drawback to the
adaptability of the Sound as channel to the
city; but suppose line of such steamships as
the Great Eastern once established, and how
long would these distinctions be allowed to
remain? Money enough could be raised by
subscription in one day to cut off every angle
and root up every rock in the channel. Those
for whom patriotism may not prove stimu-
liant, selfinterest would prompt TO contribute,
for the interests Of all arc involved in eyery
enterprise which enhances the commercial
greatness Of the metropolis. One per cent on
the stated property OF this city alone would
amount to five millions Of dollars; and what
would not that sum accomplish in rendering
the Sound a splendid, safe and commodious
harbor from the upper end of the city to Mon
tauk Point? Thus, with our magnificent Cen
trail Park, our two noble harbors, the lordly
Hudson, navigable for hundred and fifty
miles into the interior, connecting us with
back country all over the West Of limitless re-
sources, and our feet of monster steamships
riding in the northern harbor, New York might
well claim to be indeed the greatest city in the
world.
such is the revolution foreshadowed by the
success of the Great Eastern and sooner or
later its realization is inevitable.
