The Fight I'm Albauy-Grent Excitement-An-
ti-Rent Convention. &c.

ALBANY, April I'd, 1876.
There is a tremendous excitement in the commu-
uv on account of the dsgraccful proceedings at the
late Loco-Foco County Convention. Respectable
men of all parties join in experimenting the outrages
that were committed by the hired DULLES who fought
in behalf of the Barnburners. Your readers can
have no idea of the scene and II would be useless
10 endeavor TO describe IL II was decidedly the
most disgracefu that has ever transpred
in this neighborhood. To band Of ruftians. the
very refuse of our markets and filthy streets, wild

as well cease to be called free people for we shall
unfortunately have lost all claims 10 thctitlc.
There is heavy responsibility resting somew here
for, not these desperadoes paid, organized and
encouraged by men of responsibility and power,
we never would be called upon to chronicle such
vile acts as were perpetrated last Monday. There
is something revolving in the details OF such scene
from which we might suppose men OF refinement
and education would recoi with horror. But such
is not the case The finer feelings which that edu-
cation and refinement naturally engender seem TO
have been forgotten in the excitement OF party
strife and we see men of the finest talents looking
on and encouraging brutality by their presence and
their smiles These deeds will but recoil on the
heads of their authors; they have put in motion
machinery which they cannot control. They sow
the wind, they will assuredly reap the whirlwind"
The Argus charges these outrages upon the Cen

"Jacobins have more influence in the City than the
Moderates' This clique aspires 10 lead the Loco

eenitors they will swallow up every thing IN their
violence. until eventually they will destroy them
