Coalition Between tho Albany Regency
and the Almighty Nigger.
We congratulate Confidence Cassidy. Casuer
and Company, who sold Governor Wise's Nd
vate letter for twenty pieces of siIvst-vs
congratulate the Iscariots of the Regency tAat
they have found valuable alliance In tAslr
assaults on the positions of Charles O'Conoe
touching the question of slavery. Il d true
they had already worthy allies in the zFi5sxsst
the Times, the Post, the C5arisr and EnQsaay
and the whole republican party; but they havU
now still more congenial and powerful any
in the niggerdom of New York. The Affioaas
here, from the blacklist jet to the faintest anG
most sickly whity-brown, have endOrsed ~
Regency, and are brought up in force by tAsir
leaders to sustain It's attack on Mr. O'Csnoe.
The niggers are the reserve corps of the Re-
gency, and no doubt by their tremendous en-
set the strong poaitions Of the national deas-
cracy will be carried by storm, and their leaAsr,
Charles O'Conor, be put hors de combat
This alliance is natural one. The Regency,
In 1916 and 1S47, were the drst to introdass
the niger into the democratic party In this
State--the first to put forth Presidential toInee
containing the Wilmot Proviso, by which Gens-
raj Cass, the regular democratic candidate, was
defeated. Thesplit thus created in the party has
never been thoroughly healed, and its coHss-
quences, in disunion, division and disorgaaiss-
ton, are painfully felt at this moment It was
only in keeping with its anteoedents for tie
Regency to support for Mayor Of New Ysrk
Mr.. Havemeyer, in opposition to the candidate
Of the national democracy. For Mr.. Have
meyer was one Of the free soil boilers Of the
Buffalo Convention, and his name stood high q
the ticket Of Presidential electors for the
anttslavery candidate in 184S. Charles
OConor was one of the most prominent msa
on the national side at that time, and it is bat
consistent in the Regency to assail him
now when he occupies again the same ground
he did in the former struggle for ascendancy
between the worshippers ofthe almighty Mig
ger and those who have some respect for white
mems rights and liberties.
On Thursday evening mass meeting of the
colored men of New York came to the rescue
of the Regency, and, to do them justice, their
logic was more cogent and their language
rather better English than Is to be found n ths
organ of the Regency. The object Of tAs
meeting was "to reply to the infapous sena-
ments expressed by Charles O'Conor at ths
Union meeting nf December 49," The following
specimen is by Rev. II. II. Garnett:-- 81

Could the organ of the Regency say more,
or Say it betters But after this cutting to
pieces of Mr.. O'Conor's arguments, together
with number of political quotations about
Ireland, it turned out, as everybody in New
York knows, that the unhappy victim of the
black fusilade is not an Irishman at all, but
was born in this city. An Irish abolitionist, q
rara aris. named Walker, on the part Of Ire
land, disclaimed him, whereupon it was pro-
posed by one to send him to Virginia, and by
another to purgatory. Mr. Downing. the oys.
