The state Printing.

The Union and Harmony POLITICALLY presumed
to exist between the supporters OF the Na'iona ana
State Administrations in New -York-in other words'
between the Polk party and the " rish'-or more
accurately still. between the old Safety Fund and
Stated Preaching dynasty, now marshaled by
Marcy and Croswel and the new Barnburning
section. of which Senator Sam Young is the leader,
and the Albany Atlas the orgen-has been sadly
marrcd by the occurrences of the past week at Al
bany. What has caused this great commouon IS 10
usual question Of Spoils. The Old Hunkefs "@I

pulsed in their advances and driven 10 the wall, the
Hunkers appear to have determined 10 make stand
there and die game On Thursday evening a general
Caucus was held in the Assembly Chamber (how
regular was the call we know not) and Mr. Cassi-
dy nominated for State Printer-Mr. E Croswe de-
clning, and there being no second candidate, but
number of scattering votes. Next day the senate
proceeded in defiance OF the Caucus to push through
its bill abolishng utterly the Offices OF State Printer
Printer TO the Senate and Printer to the Assembly
and giving out all the State Printing by contract
The Wings all voted for this. and II was carried oy

between Col Young u Co. one side and Senators
Wright of Schoharie, Clark Of Washington &c.
on the other.
This bill had jus. been passed beyond reconsider
