There is a venerable and most worthy institu-
ton in Albany, whose name is the Young Mems
Association, and whose laudable aim, as stated
i'm its constitution, is mutual Improvement.
This institution had it's annual election of officers
on Thursday, and according to all accounts tie
excitement which it occasoned could hardly have
been more intense if the vote had been for Presi-
dent of these United States. And we regret to
say that some Of the tactics employed while the
election was in progress warranted the conclusion
that the good work of mutual improvement was
temporarily suspended To read that one OF the
factions which had placed tickets in the field
endeavored TO block the polls, that wel-known
bishop was compelled to swear IN his vote, ana
that Licutenant-Go Governor Jones was smus2ed
into the line reaching to the balot-box, is to
realize what hotbed of politics Albany is. Stlli
it is pleasant to reflect that there was no pol'lcS
in the election, and to indulge in the hope that
now il is over. mutual Improvement will be re-
Sumed.
