ready stated tne Impressions that we received du
ring recent short visit in Albany, that there are
elements at work in the Legislature and Throughout
the State, which look very much like political revo
luton in this State during the present year. We
stayed at Albany during the last week, going &c
the ancient capitol by the New Haven anc
Western Railroad, mode Of conveyance
which we would recommend to every person
travelling to that quarter During our sojourn
in Albany, we heard great many views and state
ments relative to the position Of parties in the LIE
glsature, and the probable course of events during
the present session. BY comparing all these views
andIstatements together, collected they are from
various sources, we are decidedly of opinion that
the democratic party, now headed by Silas Wright
and his associates, on that particular side of the
House, will be entirely and utterly Frustrated at the
election next fall.
A very curious state of things exists in the Legs-
lature of this State. The democrats in the House
are divided into two violent actions-the Barn-bur-
ners and Old Hunkers. They are also subdivi-
ded into factions entertaining different shades of
opinions the abolition question. The wings, also,
may be said to be divided but still there is union
enough among them to unite them all in opposition
to the party in power, previous to the election
W
bly, IN the esteem Of all parties. He is now looked
upon by great portion of even his own party Jas
small minded and deceptive politician-in short, as
a.small potato statesman-instead OF being great
statesman, conversant with all the movements OF GO
vernment and society. They say that his course
while in Congress, characterised by voting one
way and speaking another; and now that he has
assumed the sovereignty of this State he pursues the
same pohcy-rowing one way and looking the other
twisting in every direction. The great point of at
tack at the present time. is that portion of the demo-
cratic party represented by Sas Wright and his con-
nectons throughout the State. The weapons with
which this attack is to be prosecuted, have been
drawn in some degree from the famous brochure of
Mackenzie, developing the selfish and mercenary
principles by which this State has always been gov
erned. In this attack, the wings, the abolitioniss
the natives, and the ant.renters all seem to unie
however much they may differ on particular doc
trines. During the present session of the Legisa-
ture we will see these indications become matter of
fact when the voting takes place; and these move
ments are only preliminary to those that will take
place during the sitting of the Convention. There
will be a struggle undoubtedly during the present
session OF the Legislature; but the great struggle
will be in the Convention, and IN that Convention
some exciting scenes will take place. So far as the
democrats are concerned they will undoubtedly put
forth their strongest men. The democrats, every
where, intend 10 pat forth their strongest men for
the Convention. st. Lawrence will insist on
choosing Governor Wright; Columbia will put forth
Ex-Presdent Van Buren,; Cambreling will 90 from
Suffolk Vice Chancellor McCeun from Queens
Judge Bockee, and men Of that stamp willioe nomi-
mated in Duchess; Chancellor Walworth will be
run in Saratoga or Clinton county, from which he
was once sent to Congress John w. Brown, and
men Of his cabre, will be put forth in Orange At.
torney General Van Buren, will be elected from one
Of the democratic countless Judge Nelson will be
sent from Otsego, and either Judge Beardsley,
Gridley, or Bronson from Oneida. For this city,
Charles O'Conor, Mayor Havemeyer, John J. Nor
gan, Saul Alley, Stephen Allen, Eli Moore, &c, are
spoken of; Herkimer will send Michael Hoffman
and Loomis the author ofIthe Peoples resolutions
The whigs also, willput forth their strongest men
Mr. Fillmore, of Buffalo, ex- Governor Seward, and
all the greatest men they can collect together. Nor
will the antirenters, abotonists or the natives
be lacking in effort.
All these movements, therefore, shadow forth
complete outbreak Of elements in the State Conven-
ton, far beyond that expected in the Legislature
and every indication we see, forces the conviction
that the great democratic paIty-the democracy Of
New York-which happens to be represented by
Silas Wright, will be entirely defeated at the next
election, by combination of all other factions. par
ties, cques, and sets OF men, representing all opn
ions, throughout the State OF New York.
