From Albany.

The Constitutional Amendments have engaged,
assiduously and carefully much OF the legislative
Tune having passed the amendments most desired,
and indeed the only amendments ia relation to
which the public sentiment, TO scarcely any extent,
has been expressed The Debt and Liability
amendments, those in relation TO the Supreme
Court and the Court of Chancery, and The abro
CATION Of the property qualification tor oiiice, have
all received the requisite constitutional vote.
The bill to establish new State Prison IN the
mining region was one on which an honest dlversi-
ty OF sentiment existed, but of which decided
majority of both branches regarded as essential
to the public interests and the rights of the mocha
MICS. II hnally became law under strong mani
iestations OF the qualification of that large and most
deserving class OF our citizens. The bill had been
passed without the usual requirement, that ii take
effect immediately Consequently it did not 60
into operation until twenty days after It's passage
This would be beyond the period of the session.
and would, preclude the appointment of Mr. Cook,
the desired agent, and who had been nominated by
the Governor When the oversight was discovered
The friends of the BILL aided by several Senators
who had opposed II, suspended all the rules, and
assed through both houses the necessary clause to
give the law immediate effect The bill to reduce
the number and provide for the election OF Canal
Commissioners by the people, passed on Monday

relative TO the weighing OF merchandise IN the city
of New York, passed by the Senate was los, in the
House.
The bill of resumption, as it is called by the loco
focos, authorlsng any expenditure upon the canals
tor the benefit Of SPECTATORS. under the name OF
"Repairs," passed both Houses by small vote,
consisting OF the Conservatives, of whom there IS a
goody sprinkllng, combined with the Wings to a
man. Speculation and contracts are the order
OF the day /; and by this you may see easy tran
sitlon from old lloiimans policy of retren chment
OF 1872 to the utmost extravaganza OF Wing expen-
dture.
BY the way the Admiral will visit your city in
few days, probably on Wednesday or Thursday
next, when he will make old Tammany ring again
with his strong and sonorous voice. He is radical,
root and branch. He goes against all sreculaioDs;
and most especially against the REGULATORS Of the
contractors on the canals, whom Governor Bouck
seems most especially to favor. His Cabinet, how
ever, are as radical Hoffman, the Admiral Of
Herkimer; Flag, Young, Barker, and the rest, are
for cutting of the contracts of the Wings and pay
ing up the difference.
The democratic caucus met this evening al the
capitol, the lme-honored old temple of democracy.
There was the devil to pay-but in a subdued, yet
most determined tone, Senator Bockee read
smooth and well conceived address to the demo-
cratic party, which was listened to with marked
attention, and received with applause. In tact, in
that grave assembly of senators and representa-
tives, II was considered plain, unvarnlshed
production, but of great merit, and deserving of
profound meditation. have seldom listened to
any political address with more interest. 1t was
Democratic TO the core, and yet courteous and dig
mined. II the Wings can answer 1t, let them do so.
You will receive copy by the next mail
, The resolutions were also admirable, so far as
they were confined to the legitimate objects of the
caucus. But, II seems they must go little farther
than was absolutely necessary. The writer, Mr..
Sanford, OF New York, must needs endorse Gov
Bouck in the strongest terms He was not content
to win the Democratic race by four mile heat,
but he must run whole mile round the course,
afterwards, to show his PAGES Bosworth, the Con-
servatlve, must have forced the Objectionable reso-
lutions upon the committee.
Jones OF the Senate, mean David Il. Jones OF
Long Island, haiing, however, from New York
occasionally, Just as Frellnghuysen of New Jersey
halls from the empire city, voted for Bouck also.
The vote will give you directly. That vote is in
tended to endorse the old white "horse" they
call him.
1t was expected of your delegation, when they
came hither from radical and democratic city,
that they would faithfully represent the democra-
tic party. But while you have the 20 ,5S5 demo-
Gratis, whom the devil himself cannot corrupt, be-
hold how their representatives have deceived
them. The democracy are most cruelty belied by
nine thlrteenths OF your representatives;
When the question came up in regard 10 the en-
dorsement OF Bouck, some OF the best OF the loco
focos boted they had no notion OF being cram
med with the mbecillty and conservatism Of the
Executive. Here is the vote against Bouck in the
Ofme Standardization, Deyo, Lester Porter Scott
OF the HoGe--Field, Flanders Glasier Hoffman,
GLORIOUS old Hofman) Hurlburd. Lee, Mann, Noyes,
Sheriff. D. u Smith y Smith, Stmson Strong, Tuthill,
Warren, Youngs-22
This vote received, AS IT progressed with
many rounds of applause from the AUDIENCE
Gaser, OF your CITY, led oil, and moved the reIec-
ton OF the resolution commendatory of Bouck
He had no idea OF endorsing him for another term.
Jansen, IT present, would have gone the same
ticket but he was not there.
Now, IT you please, see the reverse of your dele
gation-your democratic delegation -
For Bouck's nomnation-Jones, Lott, Varlan,

raj of democratic Herklmsr, will, as said before
be down among you. Open Tammany Hall to
him, not the Tabernace-hear the "od man eo-

day. He is the most eloquent man | have ever
heard If he should come among you with his
