ALBANY, JAN IL, 1855.
The quiet honest sober city Of Albany has been the
scene, to-day Of no little excitement growing cut OF
the incursion Of number of bogus Know Nothings,
who, it appears, came down by the late train last
evening" and the early this morning. from the
vention at Schenectady notice Of which find in the
HERALD Just at hand.
appears that these ndiyd uals have resolved to at
tend Albany until after the election Of United States
Senator has been disposed of in the hope OF inducing
Of the Know Nothing opponents Of Mr. Seward
in the Legislature to believe that extensive dsorgan
zing movement exists and thus giving them courage
to break their connection with the ''mysterous
ORDER and return to their allegiance to the Weed and
Seward dynasty The plot pretty well conceived but
it is little too shallow for The trouble is that
the persons forming the convention called of
the bogus order with very fe~ exceptions who
attempted and failed to obtain admission into the org
nalodges, who stole inside for treacherous purposes
and suddenly left under the propusve influence Of the
toe Of Know Nothingsm, applied in tunddmeattm.
II will readily be that the original Simon Pures
viii have dread Of such amsy combination would
observe, too, that the policy OF the is very
seriously questioned by the Albany rulers, and IL is
more than suspected that Mr.. Weed win put quieus
upon it in most psremptory manner. He believes
that while rendering the genuine American party even
more nveterate against the Champion OF Canal Dggers
IL startie the furrners,U and induce them
gard the Auburn agtator very little better than the
great Hindoo.
Among the delegates at Schenectady yesterday, was
Swain, of the Times. He specially despatched by
Raymond who it Is currently believed Is "member in
good standing in the bogus order with instructions to
make hard fight for the motion to adjourn TO Albany
This motion you have already been advised by your
teiegraphc correspondent met with much opposition
from some Western delegates, who doubted its policy
and laid the table But at the late session
last night it again called up, and after spicy de-
bate adopted Some Of the Western
however, declined attending the adjourned meeting
and sgnifed their intention to leave for home. Mr.
Cobb, of Syracuse who Is President Of the convention
very anxious to get through business but the pre
minaes purposely delayed in order to keep the
yenton together long possible The President and
Secretaries made reports but the Treasurers was not
forthcoming, in consequence hinted Of the obeg-
carly account il would present. Swain il quite busy
In the convention, and acts under instructions direct
from headquarters. Mr.. Raymond Is very sangune in
the policy Of the movement. 1t win be rather curious
to observe what position the rusty philosopher of the
Tribune win take, and to mark whether his bitter
nunciations Of Know Nothingsm will extend far to
include the bogus Sewardlte order. DALTON
