Vew-Yorn omce-seekers In Albany, &c


TO-DAY sent to the Senate batch of nominations
for the Offices in your city. All his coaxing and
yheedlinp in favor of EDMoNDs for the Surrogate
ship, being unavaing, he was forced to drop
him. His next favorite was CHARLES McVEAN,
formerly member of Congress from Montgomery
County. He had the smallest fraction of the
Assembly Delegation in his favor, and has been
opposed most vchenently by Senator VARIAN'
who wanted tie Office for his friend CHARLES H.
LIVINGSTON. But the Governor has nominated
McvEAy. who will probably be confirmed, and
thus the fat office be disposed of. sLAMM looks
unutterable things, but think the world Will
survive Notwithstanding.
Next comes the Port Warden vacancy. WAN
np11 the especial favorite Of Mike Walsh, has
the nomination. The reason of Capt GLOVER $
failure-keep a straight face, beg OF you :
,ras his active participation in the festivities OF
the Congress- Hall Cotillion! Alas that Co.
t;llion, Sad havoc did it make with the fond
hopes Of many hungry otfice-seekers! AMAsA J.
Parker, the would-be Circuit Judge OF this Dis
trict. barely escaped being enguPhed IN thus ter
r;hle Melstrom. He had near y finished his to-
let preparatory to the ball, when friend burst
into his room, almost out of breath with terror.
& Do MT go-do Mt 60" he exclaimed with trc-
men9ous emphasis. /" Why not 2" asked PAR
KER, in perfect bewidcrment. = Because" re-
piled the friend, :" have just been told positively
by friend of the Governor, that he IS very much
opposed to all such light amusements, and If you
90, it will be certain death to all your hopes. =
PARKER stood aghast-heaveda deep drawn sign,
and-did MT 90, What pity poor GLOVER
had not had one such kind friend IN his need!
Some other nominations were sent in-what,
have not learned definitely. There is no mistake
about the appointments of DAILY and McMvR
RAY. The friends ofJudge INGIIs have done all
they could, but the fiat has gone forth. They
now threaten that if he is superseded, he shall be
the next candidate for the Mayoralty. BY the
wav. do YOU know that Mr.. j EREMIAH IS bringing
every thing to bear, to secure for himself the next
nomination for Mayor? 1t is even so. And his
iudicous trimming of sails to every breeze, to Sc
cure the darling prize, is ridiculous enough. lie
is an Old Hunker," and SO hopes he IS safe on
that score. But as the " Barnburners )" are very
numerous in New York, he tries now and then
10 soft.soap them little. To-day, when an at
tempt was made to send the bill cutting up your
Flour Inspec.orshp into quarters, to the City Dele
cation, where it would have been s1nothered, he
opposed the effort and it failed. Between the
two factions, he hopes to seize the bone. An
amusing race will that be between AID JEREMIAH
and Judge INGLIs. A shrewd old politician Of
your city, however, guarantees that both will
have the empty poringer to hold.
Admiral HOFFMAN has complete control Of the
Assembly. AS predicted, the Old Hunkers'
hav MT man that dare grappe with old "lron
Grey" This is well known. Hence the first
object sought to be obtained by gentlemen of the
Lobby is the promise of the Admiral to favor
their project. That attained, the victory is deem
ed certain. The applicant to throw open the bu-
siness of weighing in your City was in ecstacles
this morning. HoFFMAN had told him his bill
should pass, and the delighted fellow was crow
ing at 3; great rate. So too, with your friend
JIM CONNER, who found, when he had secured
his berth in the County Clerks office, that the
latest take had been gouged out of him by the
law OF last winter He, too had been holding a
confab with HOFFMAN, and the old man told him
his bill should 60 through. CONNER nearly burst
his straps with JOY!
The presence of the Admiral has produced a
decided amelioration in the treatment of the
Radicals by the Old Regency Mrs. Governor
BoUcK gives her first soree on Thursday eve
ming, and has been very particular to invite the
Barn burners and their wives Last year, :"
said one of these to me, we had to eat at the
second table the leavngs of the Old Hunkers.--
But now, old Hoffman is here, we can take the
first cut" He was not far out Of the way
The fact is, the Old Regency arc kept in per-
feet paroxysm of fear by HOFFMAN. They are
like the mice in the fable-unanimously OF the
opinion that bell ought to be put on his neck,
but then-who III do it? Ay! that S the rub.
Constitutional Reform" is to be the hobby.
BoucK 81 Co. want to dodge, bat ca MT do it
A leading politician of the Radicals in this city,
recently said to Gov. BoUcK, in conversation
" Sir we wish you distinctly to understand that
the Radical portion of the Party will support no
man for next Governor who is not pledged to
permitting the People to vote on the question Of
Convention or No Convention Why, my
dear Sir replied the Governor, g am not OPP
posed to that. Don't you see say so in my
Message" Your Message" was the answer,
g is read both ways. We must have something
more explicit" Such is the universal feeling
among the Barn-burners But you will find
the Old Regency wo MT yield an inch. Vide
the movements in the Senate, which are but the
index to the determination, out of doors.
When L forwarded you list OF the house
Committees intimated my belief that the Me
chanics had been sold in the formation Of the
State Prison Committee Such was the intention,
but the dish has been overturned. The mocha
MICS have made a convert of one Of the Commit
tee, and this gives them clear majority, who Will
speedily report bill similar to that Of the last
session, to employ the convicts in mining at the
North. There was, as | supposed an unworthy
attempt made in the formation Of this Commit
tee, to iabrcate a little political capital. Mr..
HUNTINGTON, an enlightened mechanic from On
tarlo, was urged upon the SPEAKER, as the ndi-
vidual WHOM, the mechanics wished placed on the
Committee, as the minority, speaking politically.
