THE FINANCIAL JUROR At ALBANY.

-
"Tbe financial condition Of the State" eIclsims
tn. A,Las and Argus, "resembes more the rick
"ety and bankrupt situation Of d rotten railroad
corporation than the vigor and health Of pros
"perous commonwealth. New-fOrk bas been
"drugged BY those notable quacks, Seward, Rug
"ele- and Co., until che is now passing through the
"cold. clammy sweats Of taxation, and viii soon
stand, pale aud emacated, at the grave OF repn-
"datiCn." If this CHASTITY diagnosis, worthy OF
DR.. Ollopod himself, presents true picture OF the
patient then the Now-York body polite muss have
been subjected to very bad treatment indeed
But, who are the quacks If We recollect Alright
Messrr. Seward aud Rugglcs have had no hand in
managing our State finances for the last seventeen
years; while throughout about three-qusrters Of
this period, they have been under the control of
Sss Wright, Bouck, Flagg, Hoffman, Young,
Seymour, Newell, John C.. Wright, Church,
Cha,feld, Foctt, Mather, Tucker, Tremain, Van
derpoel, land Co."-practitioners about equally
oil, ided between the whilom rival schools Of The
atlas and The Argus. If their nostrums have
brought the State 10 the clammy, emaciated con-
dion above depicted, then the sooner their physic
is throw to the dogs the better for the patient
1t is not our purpose to dscu. the financial ques-
tons which just now seem to agitate and nftct
The alias and Argus nor toyindcate the Republ
cans from the charges Of incompetency and profit
gacy with which its columns daily TEEN. We
would barely suggest, by way of psrenthesls, that
it will tax the powers Of The Alias AND Argus 70
bring grayer charges Of recklessness and rascalty
against the Republicans in respect to their manage
meut Of the State Canals and finances, or to esbo-
tate them in more vituperatiye language than The
Atias used once to hur against The Argus on this
same subject, and The Argus, per contra, against
The Atlas.
Our present object is simply to inquire: What
embryo rascality lies concealed under all this dust
and din which Democratic leaders at Albany are
just now getting up about the State finances Fer
ten or twelve years past whenever any new out
rage was soon to be perpetrated by the Slavery
Propagandists, like the passage Of the Fugitive
Slave law or the repeal Of the Missouri Compro-
mise, or the ratification Of the Lecompten swlndle
the public ear was stunned, and the public sense
bewildered by vehement cries of the danger of the
Union-the Union SO, also, We have observed, Of
htt years Ilht Wrcnt'tT the DsmUcrduc itducTs
in this State are abOu. TO give the rank and file
of the party deeper and dirtier baptism in the
slough Of Slavery. they first divert their atten-
ton from the real object in contemplation BY
parading before their eyes grim pictures Of the
State debt, taxation, and reputation. We repeat,
then: What iniquity are the Soft leaders concock
ing in the dark, and which is to be ushered into
open day as soon as they have carried the State
this Fall by force of a bypocrtical clamor about
taxation, etc. For the sake Of front seat at
Charleston, are they preparing to advocate the re-
opening Of the foreign slavetrade and Congressional
protection to Slavery in the Territories Func-
tionaries Of the State Hall what you driving at
Perhaps We do the Democratic Regency inus-
tee The condition of the State Treasury may yex
their honest souls As u measure of temporary
relief, We suggest that the superauous personal
integrity and financial virtue of the Albany officials
now daily running TO waste through the columns of
The Aaas and Argus, be immediately sent to
Washington, to be administered 70 the Federal
body polite, which stands sOrely in need OF such
appliances AT all events let enough be sent on to
noculate the members Of Mr. Buchanans Cabinet
