Importnat from Albany-New Movement OF
the Northern Democracy.
We have received some important private infor-
nation relative TO variety OF new movements,
contemplated by the democracy of this State, now
marshalled principally under the leadership of
Sllas Wright, and his associates throughout the
Northern States This information comes from
such source, as commands great degree Of con-
fidence from US; and the views it gives of the
purposes OF the Northern democracy, are some
what confirmed by contemporaneous events oc-
curing both at Washington and Albany, and also
In this city
Every one has been astonished in this city at the
absence of any allusion to the Texas question in
Governor Wright's Message. Yet this utter for
getfulness OF one of the leading questions of the
present day, indicates with more precision, set
tied purpose of particular kind agitaing the Sc
cret chambers Of the American democracy, than
any other event which we have seen. We are now
told by our private correspondent that there have
been, for several weeks past, long and deliberate
consultations both at Albany and al Lindenwald, re-
lative to the position and policy which the New
York and Northern democracy should adopt during
the remainder of the Presidency Of Mr.. Tyler; in
reference also to the position of Mr.. Calhoun and
particularly with view to the new administration
of Mr.. Polk. Every one knows the singular cha
racterstics Of that policy OF caution and ambition,
mixed up in abouI equal proportions, which has al
ways marked the action of Mr.. Van Buren and Mr..
Wright during the last twenty years in the politics
OF this State. The defeat of Mr.. Van Buren's no.
mination for the Presldency-the prostraton of all
his hopes-the rising sun of Mr.. Calhoun in the
Southland the incoming Of the new administra-
ton, have all made it necessary for the New York
magcians to retreat into secret councsfor the pur-
pose of ascertaining their exact position and con-
coctng their schemes for future action, SO as to
cure victory and ascendancy hereafter.
We learn, therefore, that it is now the settled
determination of the leaders in Albany to assume
high and Independent ground, both IN reference
to the administration of Mr. Tyler and that of Mr..
Polk, In connection not only with tile Texas
question, but many other issues. They have de-
termined, after the treatment they have received
from Mr. Calhoun in the South, to abandon the
Southern interests, in great degree, and to fall
back upon Northern feelings, Northern prejudices,
and Northern interests, to a greater extent than
they have done for the last twenty-five years.
They are, in fact, preparing species of quasi oppo-
sition, independence, Congress and throughout
the country, during the administration of Mr.. Polk
This information has been communicated to US in
such way that we place great confidence in its
accuracy. But, indeed, if we look back on what
has transpired during the last few weeks, we
must be satisfied of its truth. The repeal
OF the 18th rule in Congress, by the votes
of the Northern democracy, has been appsoved
ln this region by the same men who in former
years made every effort to enact the rule in order
thereby to conciIiate and get the votes Of the
South. The recent speech of Mr.. Stetson, who,
no doubt is put forward in the House of Represen.
tatives to break ground for this new movement-ls
another confirmation of the accuracy OF the state.
ment relative to the adoption of new line of poll
cy at Albany. But above all, the entire omis
sion of any allusion TO Texas in Mr.. Wright's mes
sage, the crownng proof ofthe whole Of this con-
templated movement.
Thus il will be seen that the New York demo-
cracy, aiating with the democracy in all the free
States, middle, eastern and western, are beginning
to make backward movement from their Southern
brethren, and to make certain approaches to the
extreme northern movements of high tariff-aboli-
ton-and all the other theories which are abomi-
nations to the South In connection with these
extraordinary and singular indications, we per-
ceivethat the organs Of Mr. Clay, in Kentucky, are
almost assuming the same position, in relation to
slavery and abolition, which is now shadowed
forth by the New York democracy. We should
not be at all surprised therefore, to find that there
was perfect conespondence and understanding
between Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Clay, in refer
ence to certain great movements, having an effec
on this Union in few years hence, that may as
tonish us all. Their purpose undoubtedly is
If we can interpret their acts-and thu
sayings of their organs-to defeat Mr.. Cal
houn and all the Southern democracy-to throw
the new element of abolition into the field o
future action-and to make such demonstration
as will give them the ascendancy in the council
of the naton and in the election Of Presdens there
after. Every succeeding event only seems to affort
fresh confirmation of this view-th the Northern
democrats are recognizing themselves, under new
elements, for some ulterior purpose, and, side BY
side, with similar reorganization of the wings
aboitionists, and other parties.
TIE POLITICAL ASPECTS OF THE TAMMANY BALI.

features of the great eighth of January ball a
Old Tammany-the beauty Of the ladies, the ex
cellence of the viands, the surliness of the doc
keepers,an SO on; but the occasion will bear wore
as to its political bearings and complexion. Wha
was principally to be observed, was the entire alb
sence from the party Of the leading and confdentia
friends of Gov. Wright, in this city. The Who'll.
affair was under the management and patronage
of the Tyler office-hoders and portion of the un
dercrust democracy. 1t is very evident that the
lines of demarcation between the two factions o
the democracy are to be strongly drawn, and thai
the struggle between the Tylerites and the under
crusts represented by the Ptebsiar to retain their
Offices, and the Old Hunkers'' to get possession
of them, under the coming administration, will be
fierce and unrelenting-a regular guerilla war
One thing about the ball strikes very remark.
