To.THE EDITOR CT THE New YORK HERALD;-
My DEAR SIR
am extremely happy in being able 10 renew my
correspondence. My absence from The city on pro-
fessional business during the greater portion of the
season, has prevented me from acquaintlng the
reading world, through the Herald, with the va,
rious matters, dolDgs, concerns, Ne, OF the famed
city of Albany. Other correspondents should have
kept you advised during my absence
Politics, you and every body else knows, is the
all absorbing bu sness pursued by ninetenths OF the
people here There never has been any party, sect
or creed Of politicians, hypocrltes, or Christians,
ever started in The world, but disciples OF them all
have been, or are to be found in Albany. And, as
for politicians more particularly, more crazy cor
Tupt set never Inherited any portion OF the earth
Upon my arrival at home, found that both the
great parties had selected their tickets tor the ap-
preaching canvas. On the whlg side we have
CHRISTOPHER Batterman for Sheriff, William MIX
for Clerk and Samuel Stevens for the Legislature.
Mr.. Stevens Is the only candidate on the ticket
whose nomination was al all unanimous, or VINO
will call out he strength OF the wing party His
election ls admitted certain by the knowing onss
OF both parties. His very name IS tower OF
strength. As counsellor, he stands pre-emlnent
amongst the great quantity OF gigantic legal intel
ecls of this State As citizen, he Is universally
beloved He Is not however, much OF polill clan,
and will be as OF en- found acting with the demo-
cratic part, as with the wings. He Will b. an IN
dependent legislator. and will support all measures
calculated 10 sustain the cr.di OF the State lie Is
firm advocate ct the Holman policy, adopted IN
1872 and will advocate II upon the floor OF the As
semby Having large local Interest here. he VIII
be able champion tor our Just rights, should we
be again invaded by the Jealous, bankrupt, oiclous
spe culators ala miles north of us. The remainder
of the WING ticket, with the exception OF their can
didae for sheriff, are not even worth passing no.
tee Their nominations were obtaned by the
most infamous intrigue, and In violation OF the ex-
press wishes of the party. The protective band,
openly headed by Samuel Stropg, and secretly
aided by Christopher Adams and Thomas KIrkpa-
trick, will defeat tho elecuon OF Mix, The wing can
dldae for County Clerk just as sure as the electioh
comes The "band" is composed OF some hve
hundred indomables, VINO have sworn to defeat
Mix and Batierman-and they are able to do II,
too
The democrats have formed ticket which no
body has the least idea OF eleclng AT their coun-
ty convention, deadly hostility was exhibited be-
tween Croswel, Corning, Peckham, aud llttie billy
Smith, on the part ut thu Old Hunkers; and Peter
Lager, James NJ. French, John Van Buren,, John
Costgan, on the side oil the Subterraneans. The
| Old Hunkers having succeeded in convincing the
country josies that Lagser u Co were Catholics
and opposed 10 the agricultural Governor, ana also

COntTOl OF me Convention, out iuiStu
ticket, with the exception If the popular candl
date for Sheriff. Henry sloan. The Con-
ventlon were compelled to present the name
of James X. r Sc, as competitor on the
democratic ticket against Mr.. Stevens on The
other side. 1t would be absolutely odious, and ar
gument thrown to the wide WINDS to attempt
comparison between them II Is IN truth lmpu
deuce unparalleled. to ask the electors to vote tor

Alas that such pigmies as Rose or Tempe should

political traitor is despised
The selection of Henry Sloan for Sheriff was
done by reclamation. The probability now Is, that
he will be elected by fatterlng majority. As h
obtained his nomination by the spontaneous voc,
of the party, il s pretty evidence OF his poPu
srty. He is qualified, and wi make apopnlar she
