The NEXT LEGISLATURE AND THB LOBBY
The events of The last few days seem to have
worked great changes in the prospects Of some
of the aspirants for Speaker of the next House
Of Assembly at Albany. For some cause or
other Raymond's stock has been on the decline
for two or three days, and it is said that OK
Speaker Alvord and his friends have taken new
courage from this fact, and are now sanguinc of
success. But in this we are of the opinion that
they will find themselves sadly mistaken when

we are supposed to be weak, how very changed
the tone and the opinion. 1t is the old old
story over again, however. What man was ever
20 abused by the English press as Louis Napo-
leon? What man was ever SO praised as Napoleon
when he could write Emperor before his name,
and could make himself feared as well as hatedf
There is no parallel in the history Of the
press to the small-beery virulence displayed to-
wards this country by the English press except
Its attacks upon Napoleon and France. This
storm, like that, may blow over; but it will
leave the same old debt of contumely and abuse
to be repaid and avenged by the United States
hereafter as that which France chershes up,
patiently awaiting her time for settlement.
Meanwhile, for moderation, instruction and
impartiality, commend US to the English press
1t is not often that the contrast between precept
and practice is SO strong as in this case, and we
should all profit by the lesson it teaches.
IMPORTATION WANrED.-We are decidedly anx-
ious to have information about party Of per-

and unintelligent gentlemen, who were passen-

These nine individuals have been bothering
their brains about newspapers, of which they
~ tho holJ o;o how
been indulging in all sorts of loose and absurd
statements about the HERALD Now we have
not the honor of the personal acquaintance Of
these people; we have never even heard their
honorable names Walmsley is unfamiliar to
us, Van Tassell is unknown, and we have never
had the benefit of the medical knowledge of
Swan, M. D. Who in the world are they?
Naturally we are the reverse of inquisitive !;
but when folks presume to NEEDLE with our
business we consider little curiosity in regard
to them quite justifiable. Who are these per-
sons, then? What is their genealogy? What
countries were blessed in giving them birth :
What is their business, their occupations or
their private fortunes? Do they smoke, drink
or chew? Are their habits moral and their
callings respectable? Are they family men or
crusty old bachelors? Do they shave or wear
boards! Who makes their boots and gets up
their linen? Where do they reside, or have
they no stated habitations? Are they realities
or myths? Can they read and write?
We are very anxious about them, and have q
right to all the particulars, since they obtrude
their noses into our business. Is there anybody
who knows anything about them? If SO, let
that anybody send us word, that we may be en-
lightened in regard to these fellows, who, like
Dogberry, write themselves down donkeys, on
board the City of Washington.

likely to settle down upon either Hulburt, Of
st. Lawrence; Ogden, of Yates, or Stctson,
of Clinton, either of whom is beyond sus-
picion of any faint or connection with the
lobby. But, inasmuch as there are some eleven
days before the assembling Of the lawmakers,
there may be complete change in the pro-
gramme before then, and Raymond will once
more become prominent candidate.
There is, however, to be a reorganization of
the lobby, and new leader to be chosen; and
from present appearances there is but little
doubt that Greeley will be the chosen one,
and the recognized chief. Hence we can
safely say to the public that his prospects
for the future are encouraging, and there
are some hopes that he will make ND
for past losses. But as to RAYMOND
we are not quite SO sanguine, and regret to see
that his stock is on the decline; for he really
stands m need of the position; and we trust that
Greeley will, now that his own success is GER
tain, roll up his sleeves and 60 to work zeal
ously for the Little Villain" Thus far he has
only given him passive support; has contented
himself by simply telling his friends in con-
fdence that Raymond was the best candidate
named for the office of Speaker, and was his
first choice. Now this passive support is not
just the thing in these trying times and it is but
Just that Greeley should work as zcalously for
Raymond as he has been accustomed to hereto
fore for his special candidates. Besides, if Ray
mond is defeated for Speaker by such men as
Ogden or Stetson, Greeley's profits as chief Of
the third house will be very much diminished
If not virtually destroyed Under these cir
cumstances it Is but just that Greeley should
do all that lies within his power to secure the
election of Raymond to the position of Speaker
on the principle of helping others to help him
SELF
We trust that this new phase of the contest
will not in the least discourage the "Little Viii
lain;" for the tide may yet change in his favor
and carry him swimmingly through. The move
ment for the third man may play itself out, as
several other projects have already. But in the
meantime let him call upon his friends in the
Gansevoort and Washington market jobs and
in fact urge upon Greclcy's friends, the mana
gers of the Broadway Railroad project, to all
unite and make determined effort to elect him
Speaker, and we have but little doubt that
it can be done. Here lie the hope and strength
of Raymond, and if they put their shoulders to
the wheel his election may yet be made sure
thing.
