OUR HUDSON STEAMERS AGAIN.We ii'idorstnnd that the enterprising firm (Darling* Hoysradt Co.) who have run the Westchester this season have recently made further investments in her, so that two thirds of the boat are now owned in Hudson.We are, and uniformly have been, advo-mcates for sustaining our OWN—our own mechanics, our own merchants* no' own schools, our own boats, and thus building up our own citv.The Westchester i* a tine boat. Her commander, Capt, Win. H. Melleo, has long been on the river, and is extensively and favorably known as anoflicerand a gentleman, and being part owner, his interest and prosperity in business, are one with the boat.—■ m*Her second Captain, Charles F. King, every body knows, is one of the most aeUommoda-ting, civil, gentlemanly, unexceptionable men that can be found any where.His honor, the Mayor, at the head of the firm, is a firm, pledged, tee-totaller.Now' if these gentlemen, owners and officers, will only expel alcohol from their beautiful boat, we will engage that the joyful news shall fly on the ‘wings of the wind,’ (of the Washingtonian we mean) through old Columbia, Berkshire and Greene counties, and the cheerful echo shall roll down the broad vallev of the noble Hudson, call-ing passengers on board at every landing and aiding on the philanthropic efforts to emancipate from the thraldom of intemperance, the entire Empire State.
