including Tammany and the Regency, for our
gridiron patriot and the free wool patriot have
already been working up the pastry.
The pious Thurlow Weed wants the vote Of
New York for Lincoln by rousng majority;
the Albany Regency have all along resolved
that in this thing he shall not be disappo inted
OF course the Regency take all the money
they can get from our merchants in behalf of
the Union electoral ticket; but they spend it
for the benefit of William Kelly for Governor
good natured, easy old farmer, who can be
moulded by his Albany managers like lump

Kelly than the hard shell vote for Brady. the
Regency will still hold their ground as the
managing machine of the New York democracy
The Regency game, then is to help Lincoln in
exchange for some assistance to Kelly; and thus
the Presidential funds sent up TO Albany by the
Breckenridge men Of this city are turned against
their own candidate for Governor on the one
hand, and to the benefit Of Lincoln on the other

is different Tammany, despairing Of anything
else, has, we understand, signifed, through her
administrator of the gridiron, her readiness to
sell everything else to save her county ticket.
In this way che is to play into the hands Of Lie
coin and Hamlin, in exchange for republican
votes for her county candidates. Is not the
venerable and pious Thurlow Weed the man

This clue Of itself will lead lis through the
whole labyrinth Of the treacherous and double

democratic party and to open the way to
republican administration at Washington. Tam

therefore, we cannot refrain from expressing
our admiration Of the honest patriotism of the
