Several members of the Albany Re-

looked for. Among them. MIR. Cross

ed party last evening, with the Vice
President, at Mr.. Buffers, ard they are
now in readiness to proceed to business.
The presence ofthese high dignitafies,
excites much speculation among the
vulgar. What does all this pomp and
parade mean? Is it to make display
of the political power, and talent, and
influence of the Empire STATED Is it to
let the ancient dominion, and the far
West know and understand, that there
is an individual who "sayeth unto one
go, and he goeth; and unto another,
come, and he cometh?" Is this battle
array intended to strike terror into the
"almost sainted Jacksonl" Is it the
object of this mighty and portentous
convention, to drive the president from
the ground he has taken9 Have your
political managers become alarmed at
the signs of the times? Do they doubt
the fealty of New York; Has the
loud sounding voice ofthe people fallen
upon the ear of the conspirators7---
Come they hither to effect change in
the policy ofthe administration? The
pageant is ridiculous; and before the 1st
act is performed, it will excite the con-

ment is not accidental. If it was, it
would be unbecoming a gentleman to
call it into notice.. But it is the result
of concert. 1t is political. 1t is, there
fore, fairly and honorably, the subject
of criticism and aniNnndyersion.
The adherents Of the Vice President

contrary, have no doubt of its truth.
He has so managed as to strengthen
himself with the Kitchen Cabinet, while
the same movements were bringing
upon the President the anathemas Of
| the people. Mr. Kendall is the mas
ter spirit. He is vain and susceptible
of f1attery. Mr.. Van Buren,, there
fore, says-Mr. Kendall is the "great-
est man in America, Gen. Jackson ex-
cepted." This is said, that it may be
repeated. The remark is 50 disgust
ingly fulsome that should doubt whe-
Their even Kendall could swallow it.
But whatever may have been the
influence Of the Vice President, it is on
the wane, and he knows it. The real
friends of Gen. Jackson feel that he has
suffered greatly by the operations of
Mr.. Van Buren,. Many of them con-
slider those operations as selfish. Tho
Secretary of State has also discovered
that he too, was to be used, !, he has
not been, to answer a particular pur-
pose.
Thus, then, the whole political ma.
chine is deranged, and out of order
The Albany Regency are to rectify it,
and setit again in motion. This is the
plan. But Ithink the Washington ma
chinery will be found too complicated
for their management, and after being
stared at for afew days, they will peace
fully return to the good old Dutch city,
perfectly satisfied, that on this great
theatre, they are not calculated to per-
form any but subordinate parts, sur

that Mr.. Stevenson will be nominated
