OF the delegates elected 10 the democratic State conven

possible 10 snow maj this predetermined event,

control OF the convention; aud, OF course, the preext

democrats at Albany a.d elsewhere, IL they could not
carry Se State convention, 10 get up another ticket was
the publication oi an article IN The Albany Argus, which
was copied from another paper, stating that Mr. Cooley
Az not probable that he could be nominated any
convention in which the whole body Of the democracy OF
the State represented, and as IL improbable
that The wings would take him up, il appafen that
II nominated at all il would be by some boiling c0nven+

administration in the Albany Argus pointed to call
out rehoke from The Washington Union, showed de-

TO be union men, thus giving the union democracy
large majority IN the convenlon and the entire control
OF it, No alternative left the hard" leaders but 10
bolt and put separate ticket in nomnatioR, IN order 10

Of any State in the Union, as they haze been mixed
in greater degree with 'h- personal fortunes OF promi
neat individuals, whose ambition LOT power aud place or
desire enjoy the honoTs and smolumens OF Office Sud
distribute them among their alherens, has repeatedly
caused them TO distract and divide by their chickering's
the parties 10 which they attached, aud render the
elections more OF personal for paramount polt
ca influence at Albany or Washington than for any
great and vay important issues that were to be settled
by the result, While III cst ~ the States the names
and app aons of the two great national parties have
been generally adhered through ali the phases tha'
political struggle has assumed, by the OF the voters
