The Albany Meeting.

Ile Albany Meefing.
The squaIl at Albany has purified the
air, and the, Wing party, instead of suf-
fering dissolution. has been strengthened
and invigorated by the commotion of the
political elements. A letter from Albany
to the New York Express, says: ~ Fl
ALBANY, Aug. 20.
x The newspapers will give
you the particulars of a meeting on Mon
day evening, which has resulted, l may
add, in doing great and good service to
the Taylor and Fillmore ticket. We
have been much indebted to Mr.. Collier
for the admirable manner in which he dr.
rected the excited feelings of the assem-
bly, on Saturday evening-an excitement
created altogether by false teIegraphic re-
presentations from New York. Mr..
Wheaton made a very able speech, and
came out heartily for Taylor.
The resolution to support the electoral
ticket nominated by the State Convention,
was carried almost unanimously. There
were not, | think, a dozen voices in the
whole meeting against it, and these, |
presume, were Locofocos-so that this
indignant meeting, called expressly for
the purpose of denouneing Taylor, was
turned into a real ratification meeting
about the best, and l think the very best,
and most effiectual, that we have had
during the campaign. a~a
Forthe benefit of our Loco readers we
subjoin the report adopted at the adjour-
ned meeting. They are heartily welcome
to all the comfort they can find in it:
sa.. REPORT. .sss
The committee to whom was referred
the correspondence between Mr.. Pringle,
as chairman of a Taylor meeting in
Charleston, S. c., and Gen. Taylor,
respectfully report: s :.
That they have given the Subject their
careful and deliberate consideration, and
are led to believe that the respectable
meeting, by whom your committee were
appointed, have acted under some misap-
prehension as to the position assumed by
Gen. Trylor in this correspondence.
It seems to have been supposed that
this nomination, communicated in the
Pringle letter, and accepted by Gen.
Taylor, emanated from a Whig meeting,
who had r%epudiated the nomination Of
Willard Fillmore, our candidate for Vice
President; and under that impression, it
might web be expected that such an act OF
supposed treachery, on the part OF
Southern Wings, would have provoked the
just indignation of the Wings Of the North,
and particularly Of his friends and fellow
Wings in his own State. 1t turned out,
however, tina: this nomination of Taylor
and Butler, in truth, comes from a body Of
seeding Locofocos, who have very
properly discarded their W candidate,
Gen. Cass, and put a better man in bis
place; and that Gen Taylor, ia his answer,
while he accepts the nomination on it,
face to come from the "Democratic
citizens of Charleston" expressly tells
them, his acceptance is without pledges
or conditions" ssz. , *"<
Your committee do not see in this letter
Of General Taylor, anything inconsistent
with the course he has uniformly pursued
and he was nominated at the Wing Ma
tionaI Convention, with full knowledge o
the position hethus occupied. If this move
ment had proceeded from seeding
| Wings, who had abandoned Mr.. Fillmore
and refused to support him, it would have
presented very different question, but w
must do the Southern Wings the Justice t,
say, that, 50 far as we are informed, the
have throughout acted with perfect goot
faith towards MI. Fillmore; and thei
Wing banners are all, without a singh
exception, inscribed with the names .
"Taylor and Fillmore" Let not the wbig
Of New York then, set the example ofba'
faith, which they have been SO eager f
