ALBANY, Dec. 81, l843.
w. l.. Marcy, his Patriotism and Pockets-Od
Admirai-New Surrogate Common Pleas Judge.
Nscurrently rumored here that the great martyr of
conservatism, VIM. l.. Marcy has applied to John
Tyler for the Office made vacant by the death Of
Judge Thompson, and that he is backed in his APP
plcation ny his near and dear friends Prosper M.
Wetmore, J. ID. Stevenson, and E. Croswell him.
! SELF There is no possible chance of the Ex-Go-
vernor's success, although here in this city the
barn-bumers, together with the radical democracy
would rejoice at event that would rid them of
, the presence of man who broke down the party
in 1897, and was instrumental in defeating Van
Buren, in 1910, and if not taken care of, that is, put
out of the away, may again in 1874. Could this
appointment be obtained for the author of the
"Spoils," doctrine, by the united actions of the
locos of Albany, can assure you that no exerton
ormeans would be left untred TO accomplish IL, and
even while they regard the thing as hopeless, let
tiers are sent in every direction, and prayers are
hourly offered up for relief from Marcysm by
this appointment
1t is also reported that Attorney General Bar
ker Is an applicant, but this is of Croswell's
last, and is evidently put in circulation to injure the
reputation OF man who in all probability will be the
successor OF the present incumbent OF the guberna
torial chair. No, Marcy alone. in this quarter, is
in the field, and in default of getting the Judgeship
may perhaps be induced to accept the situation of
your friend Curtis of the Custom House, and how
would you like that in New York, friend Bennett?
am fully satisfied thatthe Legislature of this year
will be more exciting, and of more general interest
than any we have had for years past. Ii will open
in row for the Speaker, and in the event of old
Ilofman's defeat, Bouck, Croswe and the whole
| Regency will be set upon and charred to pieces.
This, old Thunder has sworn to do in the House,
and will be aided by the less insolent and talent
ed Sam Young, of the Senate. You can see that
the fight has, in fact already, commenced, if you
will only look at the tone and course of action of
the Atlas OF this city, and Hotfman's paper of Her.
kimer. Both are out in full blast announcing as
Conservatives, all who may happen to differ with
tion while on the other hand the Argus and its at
PENDANTS throughout the State, not only repud-
ang the assertion but in return pronounce the barn
burners as Jewellers and demagogues. The nearer
we approach;to the time Of the meeting of the Legs
ature the stronger grows this feeling, and as both
parties have large stakes at hazard, every purle
eerton, fair and foul, will be made for the prize
My present impression is that Hoffman will not be
the Speaker, but that Allen will! Then good by to
your reform policy and old Admiral Hoffman,
The delegation from your city is the subject of
true, their influence will be merely nominal in the
Legislature. No Tylermen, from interest princi-
pie, can nowadays expect to make an impression
with the people, nd their chances of effectng any
thing in the Legislature of this State are very small
indeed. However, let the gentlemen try for them
selyes and be convinced. The day of humbuggery
is, or ought TO be over i is enough that it
should be tolerated in Washington without an at
tempt TO revive it in New York.
have jus, learned that John W. Edmonds is to
be appointed Surrogate of your county in the place
of Ogden, and that Mr.. Smith, who an APP
picant last year for office from His Excellen-
cy, will be Judge of the Court of Common Pleas,
IN the place of lngs whose term will soon expire.
| These two appointments have been pressed from
the Governor by personal friends of the parties but
with all other appointments affecting your city, the
Governor has expressed his determination of leav-
ing them wholly with the delegation. This is a
wise conclusion, now that you have no offices
whatever to provide, and will doubt be ia
voraby regarded by your twelve representatives.
JOE SMITH, JR.

Baltimore papers, that the parties in Maryland

The Congressional election will probably take
place within six weeks and that being over
short period of repose will ensue when the waves
of politics will again be aroused by the storm of de-
Gliding who will be the next governor.
Among the candidates proposed for this high of.
fee, we perceive the name of Col SOL Hilen, of
whom we had reason to learn good deal when he
served in the twenty-sixth Congress. The Colonel

selected language expressing ideas very logically

himself to be- but he Is no grovelling partzan OF

State, we have very little doubt of his election to
