The Political Quarrel In Albany.


composing it are arrayed against each other,
and belaboring each other, with the heart
lest good will. Like all battles between poll
ticians, the loaves and fishes are the cause of
this emuete and unless the cravings OF some OF
the lean kind be satisfied, the results will be the
same as followed from the celebrated fight that
took place between the Kilkenny cats
The latest cause of difficulty between Inc TWO
factions grew out of the recent judicial election,
and the war of words is waged with tremendous
fury through the columns oil the h"as ana ar
pus the ORGANS of the two factions. Both ac-
c,se each other of exerting itself to defeat the
rogul,riv nominated candidates; both deny and
retort the charge
The following is specimen of the weapons
used in the fight
Here is one from the Argus

Now comes the Atlas -
"An the assertions insinuatons and surmises in the
Argus Of this morning far my name Is connected
With them are false and calumnious."
June 8. l947 A. c. FLAGG.
Another shot from the Argus-a six-pounder:
In shameful violation of their written stpulations
to print only democratic ticket, aud their empty
professions Of desire Of harmony, the psrtizans Of
ilessrs Flagg John Van Buren, Co, stood ut every
poll in the city and peddlsd urged the following
ticket-and noisy and inveerate in their Of
forts than the wings themselves"
An escopettc ball from the atlas -
The assertions in the argus Of this morning that
MIR Fagg voted the ticket emitting the names OF the
two regularly nominated for Supreme Judges
and Mr. Blanchard for Surrogate; that he
was cognizant of the proposition made by Cagger
Co.. for the printing of tickes in FORM or that
he knew that Cagger had signed written stipulation
to carry out his own proposton;' that he affirmed
all anything stated by the Argus in relation to this

Now comes the Argus turin
mo one can doubt for single moment, that Mr. Flagg
and John Van Buren, control the Caggers and Cassdys
here and that they and the employees on the Canal ana
elsewhere under their immediate direction do their bid
ding implicitly At the polls in this city and county,
these instruments ut work-they distributed and
urged with four wings upon it for the highest
district and county ocesthey did not even attempt to

democratic nominees We have no doubt, il the fact

Now a rocket from the Atlas:--
"The Albany Argus is engaged in amusing and cha
ractersc effort to divert public attention from its
principed efforts to defeat Mr. Henry Hogeboom. The
above false statements in regard to is part Of the

Hear the argus again:-a
MT also COgniZdnt Oktne proposition made
by Cagger Co for the mutual withdrawal of candi-
dates and for the printing Of all the tickets with the
Of Messrs Litchheld and Wernerhe approved of
THE that had been accepted-that Cagger had
signed written stipulation carry out his propo
stionthat he and his ciates the partizans of Mr.
F. had violated that arrangement by exhibition of
bad faith unequaed in the history of our politics by
saults upon the democratic candidates remaining in the
field under this agreement, and by printing tickets, In
express violation Of such agrecment-and finally Mr. f.,
while cos11ant Of these facts a and after s%ns az
in regard to his connection with the matter voted
informed by eyewitness, one of the spu-
rous Atlas battots printed in violation Of this written
agreement"
AS the matter now stands, this is very pretty |
little quarrel, and unless the bottle holders and
seconds of the respective combatants withdraw
their principals and propose terms of reconcilla-
ton, the probability is that the remnant of the
Van Buren, Albany regency kitchen cabinet par
ty will be blown sky high.
The shrewd and calculating ones Of both fac
tons see this plainly, and in order to their
own bacon, they submitted to their respec-
tive followers certain propositions to heal the
wounds and unite the party under one head, and
with one organ
Here are the propostions:-
With sincere desire effect permanent settlement
OF all the difficulties and terminate the dissensons
which exist between what is called the two sections of
the party only in this county but in every other in
the State, greater less degree, the undersigned

ALBANY, May ~, ls47.
We do not know whether these propositions
have been acceded to or not, but We would be
very sorry to see this little quarrel settled so
soon 1t stands very well as 1t Is.
LATER FROM CARAccAs.-We are in receipt of
files of Ell Liberal. The latest date we have is of
the 18th ultimo.
Congress would terminate its session on the
10Th, the day which the laws of the constitution
fixed as its utimatum. Few Legislative bodies,
says Ell Liberal, have been so laborious or so
much occupied with business for the future bene-
fit Of the republic this one has. Some few
bills have remained pending in the Senate, for
want Of time to complete them; but the next SEES
sion will doubtless take ample care of the
measures necessary Tor the advance OF the
country
Wa regret that the incompieeness of our files
prevents our giving list Of the more important
bills that had passed.
The following bills passed a third reading in
The Senate, and were returned to the representa-
tives: The bill in favor of Mr.. Ellis project;
the agreements between the Venezuelan Execu-
tive and American Minister in the case of the
briggs Native and Josephine.
