ALBANY, March 27.-The ball is opened. As
we predicted yesterday gave birth to the address
OF the Administration Dctators. After all the ar
engagements, plans and agtiices, the despatch of
circulars, and the solicitations of agents. friends
and cYpectants, we have the lahour Of the noun
tain. All the secret and clandestine cxertions of
Che federal Albany central corresponding COM
nttee"-the head and front of the mighty Adams
party in this State, and the origin and finish Of all
these movements,-end in the display of PIP
names, with occasional exceptions, Issapi.fs men
and federaiists, the disappointed and the complain
ing, defeated candidates and candidates in eXpec-
tancy; and these names, standing at the bottom of
very tame taIfaronade, direct convention to be
held in Albany on the tenth day of June next TO
devise projects Of further elecioneering for the ad-
ninistration.
we regret 10 in such association and we should
regret it the more if we did not believe they had
been inveigled into the matter, and that they will
decline the honour OF thus aiding in scheme TO
PROSTATE the democracy Of the State at the feet of
its old opponents. Independently Of their isincli-
nation to do this, the certainty of defeat in the de-
sign viii offer poor temptation for political de-
iinquency and desertiOn.
In some instances whole counties are overlook
ed; in others, several are taken from one neigh
6ourhood or family; and there are many names of
candidates, who at the last and the previous cleo
tioD were beaten down by the people by maiorities
Of thousands. Nearly every part Of the list shows
plainly possible that the managers in the af
straits, and were not over particular in the seec-
ton, so long as the list could be sweed.
We are surprised, with the two months prepara-
ton; the requirement of the mandate issued by
the Albany committee, that the name of one
gentleman in each town. should be sent in for this
purpose; the confident tone of the knowing ones;
and the blowing of trumpets at the parturtion;
that three times 2l2 names had not been obtained
that at least FIVE or six hundred, il TIA towns,
could not have been urged, or induced, or driven
into the harness. But the source was suspicious
even where il was not known; and where it was
the democracy of the State could have no political
association with il. We have no desire to speak
with dsrespect of the persons thus engaged: nor is
II necessary farther to speak Of them politically
than to ask republicans TO look at them as they are
IN their own districts. They will Judge of all
with the few exceptions we have alluded toy as
they bnd them at home. We desire no other test
As to this last rally Of the Coalition it can deceive
nobody; notwithstanding the fcderalists have, as
far possible, lodged behind the peoples men,
and are looking from their peepingholes al
the fate Of their strataGem. [.frgus.

(on many cases either without the knowledge of
the persons naIned) IS after all complete failure
