Richmond, Csgger, Cassidy and Conn
Pany in Council.
The managers of the Albany Regency hay
Ing summoned their associates to assemble at
the State capital, the faithful, in company with
several other politicians recently resurrected
gathered there on Wednesday last, and after
mature deliberation and lengthy discussion
came to the unanimous conclusion and an
nounced to the public that the Albany Re
gency, alias the democratic party, is the en-
bodiment Of purity, honesty, virtue and patri-
otism. 1t seems that it was a great deal harder
task for them to come to this conclusion at
this time than on former occasions; for they
were compelled to invite several outside old
fogies to address them before they could work
themselves up to this belief. The speeches of
these outsiders seemed to have the desired
effect, and finally the nat was issued informing
the world that the Regency is still in existence.
and s the great bulwark of the nation.
Their manifestations of self-confidence and
selfglorifying proclamations deceive no one.
The people are thoroughly conversant with the
jobbing record of the Regency managers, and
desperate game to get into power again, and
have the control of the spois under the State
and national governments. Should they ever
be fortunate enough to accomplish that object,
the same old series Of elimination and recrimi-
nation that formerly took place between the
hards and softs will be revived, including an
extensive exhibition Of each others dirty linen,
after the style of the conservatives and radi-
calls in the late republican party II APP
pears that Richmond, Caggor and Cont
dence Cassidy are now in close communion
with the silver grays, Know Nothings, old line
wings and the hards, whom they formerly sold
and traduced, and good lord and good devil
to them all. In all this there is an object, and
SO apparent that he who runs may read.
Last year their convention assembled at SYRIA
cuse, and proved themselves in sympathy with
the enemies Of their country, but fearing the in
dignation of the public if they so announced
it,attempted to blind the people by carrying
water on both shoulders, in the adoption of
series of resolutions that might be interpreted
both ways. But to make 1t lean q little more
towards the secessionists, they adopted the
famous ninth resolution, which eifectually re-
pudated the administration for the measures
taken to crush out the rebellion. The verdict
OF the people at the polls in November was so
overwhelmingly against them that they are now
trying the confidence dodge to work themselves
into power. The secret of all this is, that Soy
mour, one Of the leading spirits of the Regency,
is anxious to be Governor; Dean Richmond
has hankering to be once more the presiding
genius in the kitchen department. with full
power to carve and deal out the loaves and fishes;
Cagger a longing to be known as State Attorney,
and Confidence Cassidy desire to onca moro be
in a position where he can have access to con-
fidentisl letters to make public. To accomplish
this end, the Regency firm are ready to be any
thing or everything, to adcrt one set Of resolu-
tions to-day and another tomorrow, to say
soft things to the hards aud make great pro-
mises to the silver grays. Hence their adop-
tioR Of one platform last year and another
this.
The present crisis Of the country is no time
to attempt to build up political parties.
The nation is trembling upon the verge
Of precipice, and there should be
but one thought or one effort in the
North, and that is the strengthening the hands
Of the President until he is enabled to put
down the rebellion, and the protection Of the
constitution is given to the citizens Of every
State in our once glorious and happy country
We have been brought to our present condi-
ton By the rlottings, intrigucs and treachery
of the politicians, and tins is no time for any
set to attempt to build up party upon the
ruins Of their own creation. The safety Of the
nation, the success of cur armies. and not the
organization of party, are row the questions
to be brought home 10 Us all. If the politi-
clans will hold conventions ard public meet
ings let their gatherings be turned into re-
cruiting meetings. and We with each other to
see which shall obtain IL largest number of
recruits for the army, and not be simply for the
adoption Of cut and dried resolutions, with
empty words sud vain boastings of patriotism
Let the rebellion be crushed out first, and thea
viii be tine enough for the Albany Regency,
Albany Junta, radicals aud al othes factions
TO talk abou. he grandeur, honesty, patriotism
and power Of their parties. We have had
enough Of thcse party movements, wien tho
politicians, like Nero, fddlng while Rome is
burning, have ne though but that Of Office and
the spoils that they can obtain from tie ruins Of
Their govern rnent The public desire some
other evidence Of honesty and patriotism taan
