Correspondence OF The Tribune.
ALBANY, Jan. ., 1873.

Messrs. J. Van Buren, Smith Van Burcn.
James French, r. Z. Temple, Vandcrpoel, Gag
ger, Ten Brock, Soutawick, VaRce and Cassidy
more familiarly known as the Young Regency
have been sRgulsrly unfortunate in their attempts
10 become dictators to the Governor and leaders
of the Loco Foco party. This clique was backed
and supported by that portion of the party more
commonly designated, from the similarity of their
principles with those of the Rhode Island coadju-
tors, as the Barn Burners.
The opening of the campaign was signazed
by the attempt to elect James French, Esq. TO
Congress, and h. Temple, Esq. TO the Assembly
To compass the nomination of the former, 1t be-
came necessary to sacrifice the latter and to soothe
the disappointment consequent upon the failure OF
his long cherished hopes, it was arranged that Mr.
T. should receive the appointment OF AdJutant
General.
Failure having attended both the primary aove-
men,s, and Messrs French and Cagger having, in
the meanwhile become principal proprie,ors OF the
Albany Atlas, the attempt was made TO break
down Mr. Croswcll and obtain the State Printing
for their paper. Being again fsed, with degree
of perseverance which is truly remarkable, they ap-
piled in succession for the Printing to the Assem-
Div and Senate, but on each occasion with equally
i'll success
To tho lockers on, the scene has been anus
ing, and reminds one, in many respects, OF Sir
John Fastatf and his company. who though he
might have surpassed them as q acousamcrct sack,
could never have done it in his character of brag-
CART. But the curtain was not to drop yet; the
farce was not over. Sir John ard his company
held meeting and nominated seven of their num-
Der as proper persons to fill important Offices in
the city, and committee of twelve was designated
to wait upon the Governor and urge their nomlna-
,ion. A modest request, truly, and one which will
doubtless receive from His Exceency the consider
alton TO which it is so emincntly enstlcd; and of
this, the fact of its having emanated from body
Sc numerous and respectable as that over which
Sir Ohm presides, is of itself sufficient warrant
the number of nominees 10 Office hardly exceeding
those attending the meating.
II has been understood how generally cannot
say that Sir John and his company were opposed
to the nomination of Gov. Bouck, and also TO his
candidate for the Office of State Printer. In the
latter case their motives were, no doubt, proper
and honorable proper because, if they desired the
profits arising from the publication Of the State
Paper, and honorable, since with the control OF
that official organ they believed that the Governor
could be moulded to suit their own interests, which
they believed to be those of their party also.
irJohn, however, it may bo supposed, suffered
not his views to be confined to the circle Of
State Politics. His phllanthropic spirit embraced
the Union, and its welfare was the object of his
thoughts. To this end his father must be nomi-
mated as President Gov. Bouck suspected.
Could he be crushed and the hand of the Magi-
clan not appear in it, the coustry would be saved
Glorious prospcct-efiort worthy OF SO great an
intelligence
Should the project fail, it would only be neces-
cary for Mr. Van Buren, to deny all knowledge of
the course of his and their associates, and TO
assure the Governor that they were the very oppo.
site of his wishes and intentions and all would be
well. a visit of few days would accomplish
this, and convince the supplemented Sshoharie
farmer that in the Ex-Prcsdent he possessed sin
cere and devoted friend but bring him TO the fur
ther conclusion that in enc Of the officers in his
Government, no less parsonage than the Comp
troller of the State, he beheld the source of that
hostility, the manifestation Of which was entrusted
TO younger confederates.
