ALBANY, May II, ls4e,
4 Scene ON the Hdsom-Po Politicians on the IVTng,
&c. &c.
On board the noble steamer Isaac Newton, last
evening, We came in collision with number of
the gay politicians, who are proceeding TO Balil-
more, Md. The boat was literally crowded with
distinguished politicians from every quarter of the
State. The saloon Of the Newton was, for the
moment, converted into club-room; politicians
occupied the elegant sofas-they recned in the
arm-chairs-they promenaded-they talked and
they walked with the utmost freedom. Among
them were delegates representing both sections of
both parties. The utmost cordially and good
feeling seemed prevail among these spectators in
politics and stocks. We were reminded of casual
meeting of English turfmen on the day before
the Epson races, when the betting books are
opened, or of Lambs sleeping in the claws o..
lions Among these polite POLITICIANS, We OBJ
Judge strykcr, James c. Smith, (of Wayne,)
Isaacs Butts, of the Rochester Daily Adceytiser,
Thurlcw Weed, of the albany Journal, Edwin
Croswell, of the Albany Argus, L. c. Litchtield,
and hundred others whose names we forget
by an extraordinary faulty or casualty, Edwin
Croswell and Thurow Weed were seated direct
y opposite each other al the supper table. was
glad To perceive that these persons evidently tcta
mutual solicl,ude for each others temporal welfare;
there was perfect storm OF pollteness and reel
procities. Edwin, for instance, begged his brother
10 pariakc OF ust little bit of the picked ripe
and the quicscent Thurow reciprocated by placing
the mustard within the reach of his dear relative.
These charming clvilities was repeated half a
dozen times
This morning the Croswell delegates held eau
Gus at Towards hotel, in Broadway, New York.
The harmony and unanimity Is said to have been
remarkable. The delegates consulted with closed
doors, and no person, not a member OF the delega-
ton, was permitted to approach within ear shot of
the walls Of the room. They tell me that their
candidate will be Woodbury. or Cass. Tomorrow
the delegates of the other section will meet at the
City Hotel They tell me that their candidates
will be General Taylor and Addison Gardiner
see if am not correctly informed. But the last
letter of General Taylor has deprived MIN of the
slightest chance he might have had to get the no.
mination of the wing convention. This is the
opinion of John Young, who has hitherto been one
of the most ardent friends of the old hero. And
now there is a rumor, that upon Scotts arrival at
this port, committee of wings will wait upon
him, and beg him TO withdraw entirely from the
contest, and to give Clay chance. This is the
rumor.
The capitol grounds look like paradise The
rows of young trees have put on their leafy gar
ments, and the soft grass is foot in height. In
this park, which would be something like the Bat
terry If we had harbor, the fashionable love to
promenade by moonlight. 1t is grand park, and
the public gardener is real florist. Happy fell
lows-he often get kisses in exchange for flowers.
Offices have their emoluments, however.
