exceplic FIhe recommendations of
ihs Albany JBnso, touching the time
Of holdings convention, and the fuesI
person Cor the Presidency. We OBJ
serve that there j. a controversy in
progress between The politicians in re-

The Yoeug Men's Committee hsving
yepsaiated the Regency doings 10 AZ
bany, the Old Meas Committee have
been trying 10 repudiate the Juniors
doings. Tae resolution in the Old
Mems Committee to approve the Re
ge0cy dOings was opposed by The we'll
known Alexander Ming, Of the 14th
ward and finally referred to a select
Committee Of seven, consisting Of
Messrs. johnson Of the 1st, ward,
Samuel Crapo, Of the same, Edmund
j. Porter Of the 10th I; Mr., Nichols, Of
The first; Co. Ming, Of the l4th /;
Charles A. Secor, OF the 9Th aud Mr..
briggs, ofd,e 18th. In this commit
tee, It is said there are three opposed
to the proceedings at Albany, perhaps
four;
These movements show the strength
Of the Calhoun and Van Buren divis-
ions Of the party here. Mr.. G. has pew
ter Muggers, that is, the rotOdg d0l0dy
boys but Mr.. Van Buren, has the
leaders, "the gentlemen" the men in
long coats aud clean shirts.
Not less significant are the move
meBts Of "the Democracy" iu Penn
sylvsnia. The so-called democratic
members ol the Legislature held a
caucus previous TO separating. They
resolved lhdt James Buchanan was
their FIRST choice for the Presidency,
but determined to stand BY the result
i the nomination Of The National Con-
veution. They approved Of holding
that body in May, 1914, (Calhoun's
plan) and ofcliOOsing delegates in the
Did way, viz. bya State Convention
Ivan Buren's plan J"
That there is an iacurable sohism in
the great Democracy is now conceded
by many Of the Democracy themselves
and an election by the House Of Rep
teseutatives-- unless Mr.. Clays success
shall save that trouble-is looking TO
as highly probable, Some Of Mr..
Calbouns friends, we know despair Of
any adjustment Of existing differences
npoL satisfactory terms, and have al
ready addressed their hopes to Con-
gFess. 10 nearly every State the Dem

New York, the Albany Argus has read

Senale are at open war, and the Sc
crelary Of Stale (Young) and the
Lieut. Governor (Dickenson) ('ll Lo.
cOfocos) are abusing ach other in ths
papers like piek'pockets. The dis
graceful scenes, which have grown ou

Democracy, have cast a stain upon th,
national escuteheOn. The discofd il
