Attorney General ''despite my Lord Cardinal"
Present appearances would seem TO warrant the
assertion that Comptroller Flags and Secretary
OF State Young, will be left III the quiet enjoyment
OF their respective and respectable positions. 1t
may happen, however, that from some violent, yet
smothered eruption OF the political volcano, the
"Hunkerites'' will feel called upon to put other
and more cengenial spirits IN nomination against
Flagg and Young. Should they do SO, a fair field,
and no favor, will be called for and granted.
The Supreme Court is in session, and many of
OF the "hrst" lawyers IN the State daily at
hand, watching the calendar Among them are
Geo Wood, Samuel Stevens, J A. Spencer; J. G.
L. Whi.e, N. Hill, jr., G. De Witt, D. Cady, G. r.
kirkland, and others too numerous to mention.
As every one comes into Court with massive files
of papers tied up with red tape pro forma, we are
bound to suppose that each man has plenty of
causes to argue, and consequently each lawyer
is rapidly accumulatlAg fortune by his profession
ALBANY, Jan. %, ls45.
Matters and Things in general-Silas Wright in
particular.
The effect produced in this city by your great
Texas demonstration at Tammany Hall had scarce
ly manifested itself before we received the news
ofhe passage of the Texas resolutions in the House
of Representatives, at Washington. The impor
tance of these movements gave the old hunkers
great for reocings, it was by them regar-
ded decisive victory, while on the other hand it
u
it clearly indicated their complete overthrow
You may rely upon it that the open expression
made at Tammany Hall against Silas Wright is but
the beginning of an opposition to this individual
which is destined shortly to break in every part
of the State, and will be followed up without re.
serve in the South and South Western parts of the
country.
The Young and Flagg interest here is the cause
IN nd hasa
ed against him feeling of opposition which must
be witnessed to be understood appreciated
The greatest boldness in language is now used BY
the leading men In this city from the various Sec
lions OF the State against the Executive and his
cabinet officers and nightly meetings of private
nature are held, at which the question of time for
an open demonstration is debated. Nearly all the
leading members Of the last Legislature are now
in this city, and it is their hands that this bust.
ness is confided by the common consent of the fac
ton they represent Letters preparing the public
mind tor this denOnc'nent, sent into every Sec
tlon OF the State, and already answers begin to
come In, which show that the leaders are prepared
tor action whenever 1t may be thought necessary or
advisable to take open ground. That any feeling
of opposition exists to the Governor know is de-
MED by the atlas clique, but it is only necessary
! for you to observe the course of the Aygus and
other Leading papersin the State, to be convinced OF
how little reliance is be placed upon the decara.
ons OF these persons. 1t is very probable that the
cause for this early demohs,ratIon is to be attributed
to the action OF Fagg and company, their uncalled
that this interest should be the controlling feature
of his administration. But this injury might have
been suffered to pass il Mr.: Wright had observed
an independent ground, and not allied himself to
either of the factions Certainly ordinary common
would have dctat ed this course but the idea
of the State of New York being represented ia the
Senate of the United States by two annexation
senator's, so operated upon the feelings OF his ex.
cellency to innce him to declare openly against
Dickinson and Foster.
The Texas question came up to-dayin both branch
es OF the Legislature. In the Senate, Mr. Hard,
whig, called up The resolutions of Mr. Putnam anoth
er whlg, who was absent at the time declaring
against the measure, but by very decided vote Of
that body the motion did not succeed In the Hoase
very exciting and vehement debate took place in
which Mr.. Lee, of Weschester, took part against
the annexation OF Texas He denounced the ACT
in the most unmeasured terms; assured the House
thatlts contamination would be the knel of hber.
ty, and that a dissolution of the Union would Of
necessity follow. This gentleman was so excited
upon the subject that he could no. confoe himself
all to the question before the House, but woulo
fly off in search of hidden matter upon which to
vent his defamation and spleen The speech Of
this distinguished and very able jursts the leader
OF he democratic party IN and cut OF the House,
afforded much mlrth TO the wings, who seemingly
enjoyed their new auxiliary, though they should no
take HIM tor their leader in the matter The further
discussion OF the subject was adjourned over till to-
morrow, when we shall IN all probability have Mr.
Young, wing, from Livingston, upon the floor
Nr. Young IS gentleman of superior talents, anc
great amability OF manner, and is by far the
strongest man IN the house either side Rufus
w. PeckhaIH OF this city will likely be our nexi
attorney general; for your friend John Van Bu
rem, he seems to be entirely out of the question for
that Office 1t Is rumored to-day that Mr. Ed.
monds, ,,of your city, Is appointed to the Circuii
Court in place Of Judge Kent, but his competitors
here deny that the Governor has given any intima.
lion whatever upon the subject. 1t is however
more than probable that he will be the successful
man after ALL VERITAs.
