DEAR SIR
| Amidst the general prosperity which now SO
abundantly prevails throughout the country, it is
gratifying to witness the fact that the capitalists,
| merchants, mechanics, aborers and all others iH
Albany participate very extensively: Every person
who is disposed to industry, need spend no idle
hours here. 1t was never known to be more ac-
tive in the business of building Churches, hotels,
public hospitals, are being erected by means of pub
lie and private liberality, extent unsurpassed
| by any city OF our size IN the country
| Mr.. Delavan, the well known temperance pio-
neer, is now laying the foundation of the "Dela-
van House," at the corner of Broadway and Steu-
ben street, which is designed to eclipse every
thing else in the CT y in its size, magnIficence,
| venehce, and popularity. No expense is 10 be
spared in Its construction, as the owner Is abund
antly able to carry out any project of splendor
which may be devised.
Mr. John Townsend is also erecting the Towns
end House, on the site of old Montgomery Hall, in
| Market street, which is designed also for large
| and commodious hotel; but not to be conducted
exclusively upon temperance principles.
Dement'S American Hotel, located very conspi
cuously in State street, which has been thoroughly
slant supervision of Dement'S eagle eye, become one
of the most popular establishments in the United
| States.
| Stanwix Hall, recently converted into hotel by
Messrs w heller II Bromley, opens for public favor,
upon scale of elegance, comfort and convenience,
| which will render 1t enc OF the most attractive
places for citizens or travellers Both the proprie
/ tors being western men-Mr. Wheeler from Ro-
| chester, and Mr. Bromley from Syracuse-w
naturally bring to the Hall a large portion of the
passengers from that region OF our State.
Congress Hall, under the direction of the viglant
and accommodating Landon, will always retain its
elevated position amongst the hotels In this Union
The City Hotel, by Mr.. Foster, and the Mansion
House by MIR. Lathfopyare also worthy of public
support.
Several churches are also in progress of erection,
and will be completed during the present seasonal
Presbyterian, Methodist, German Catholic,
a Unitarian, Sailors Bethel, are all in the course
OF completion. So you see, churches increase with
| US about as fast as taverns
Political matters not yet suffered to be much
exposed to the public eye Both parties are attempt
ing to dodge each other Neither dare show the
hands. AS the great result depends upon this State,
| the desperate politicians are now more deeply in
the device of stratagem than in 1910. The leaders
of the wing party sensbly feel the effect Of Weeds
pertinacious adherence to Bishop Hughes, but they
dare not venture to assa him any more fiercely at
present, than the N. Y. American and Albany Ad-
verseI have done. 1t is necessary to stl1e further
Seward, and Hughes, know their own strength,
but do not choose to exercise 1t until after the great
Presidential question is settled.
i is nov fy gensTiy conceded s that Mr.
tor Governor, notwithstanding. the crusty note of
declension which he sent to Weed, just after the
nomination Of the Rev. Mr.. Frelnghuysen. And |
imagine he will succeed in obtaining as full vote
as any other gentleman of his party. He has been
q session two in the State Legislature, and one
Term in the House of Representatives at Washing
considered OF a higher order than will conform to
| strict party discipline. The western part of the
State will give him good vote.
Governor Bouck will be nominated by the con-
| servatives, and third candidate will be brought
into the field by the radical locofocos They have
not yet decided upon their man. Hoffman, Young,
or little Johnny Porter would be elated with the in-
vitation, if for other purpose than breaking up
the aristocratic combination of Croswell, Corning
II Co., which is becoming more intolerable every
day. If reconciliation is not speedily effected
between the old hunkers and barn burners, we
| shall have three candidates for Governor, which
by dividing the democratic party, will ensure the
success OF the wing nominee.
| The internal war between the two sections OF
the Democratic party, Is carried on with much
malignity of feeling, between Croswell of the
| Argus, and Cassidy of the Atlas. CrOswell being
state printer, and thereby coming something like
| thirty thousand a year, adheres to the bank and
conservative interest with the tenaclty OF sheep
| tick being shrewd, bold, and uncompromising
Cassidy equally perseverlng to be stae-printer and
writing under the vlndictve and revengefu con-
duct of Corning and Bouck in removing him as
State Librarian, embraces every opportunity to give
vent to his outraged feelings, by public attacks IL
the columns OF the Atlas, upon those and others OF
like description
The project of erecting City Hospital has en-
crossed the attention Of the clergy, doctors, and
several of our first citizens A public meeting has
been held, and considerable anxiety manifested
10 erect hospital A charity of this description
was never more needed, and it is earnestly hoped
that the object may. be accomplished. But do
| not believe that single individual among those
who signed the first public appeal through the pa
pers, will contribute single penny.
| II Is reported very currently, that President
Tyler will soon remove from Office those who hold
places under the U. S. Government in this city.
As he is a candidate for the presidency, no person
can attach to him any blame for terrifying himself
against his enemies. 1t is well known here, that
Croswell WATSON, Gallup, Mahen, Seymour and
Perry, are holding lucrative Offices under Presi
dent Tyler, but are loudly declalming against him,
him of such dsgraceful conduct! Why hold OF
! fee under administration which they ridicule
and reproach continually? / know if President
Tyler was made acquainted with the conduct oil
certain men here, he would not retain them in OF
hce single hour. They are hyPocrites to him, OF
the most Judaste character: Here is a specimen
OF their devotion to the administration. Shortly
after the news of the nomination OF Polk and Dali
las was received at Albany, call for Democratic
meeting of response was signed by Marcy (who
wanted, from the President, the nomination of U
s. Judge), and Croswell, Perry WATSON &c, and
at that meeting the following resolution adop
ted without the disapprova! of a single one of the
government office-holders in this city. Here it is
as published in the Argus, which only day or two
previous, contained by Authority" the post Of
flee letters, for which it received government,
pay
Resolved Thst in the open attitude of hostility in which
John Tyler the other Presidential candidate of federalism
srrayed against the democratic party see
appropriate contamination Of long career OF conceaed
hostility to- and corrupt intrigue against the integrity
and principles Of that party, &C.
If was party man, and shosd thus stigmatize
and villify the President of this nation, and still
obtain thousands Of dollars yearly from the indul
gence of that officer, should expect to be visited
swiftly with his Just indignation. / ask again, has
President Tyler; no person in Albany, honest
enough to infofn him Of the daily conduct of these
,hv are or soyenment agent sbomId be 20 .
here, to ascertain the facts as they exist.
Yours, &C., w. II.
