FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
Nnw Yonx. WEDNESDAY night

The opposition papers and the organs of the boilers
are making great To do about the action of bolt
ing democratic convention which met at Albany Sat
uday passed resolutions and nominated candidates for
Congress and the several county Offices On side,
told that the action Of this sodisant democratic
convention was dictated by the President, who is
anxious sto count Mr.. Corning out of the party !;
on another, we hear that it is tho commencement
OF insurfecton among ''the hards, In which
"the harls all over the State 10 participate (
and again, are told that 1t Is not dodge on tho
part OF the President TO sheve Mr. Corning, yet
general uprising of tho unorgivng hards, but desire
on the part Of tho Hon. VIM A. Young to show that
"Peter Cagger not the democratic party in Albany
ty." Whether this fact could have been demonstrated
with less trouble by Mr.. Young anybody else, what
the real object OF the aforesaid oltng convention may
be, matters which the Evening Post and Daily News
can determine among them but shall take leave to in
form the readers OF the Union that the so-cacd
convention which nominated Mr. Reynolds for Con-
gross in Mr.. cornings district, at which the Hon
VIM. A. Young presided and at which Mr.. B.
q. Courtney reported resolutions said to have been
drawn by his venerable father-n-law, Daniel s. Dick
inson, NOT tho regularly constituted democratic
convention of Albany county but composed Of few
soreheGds, calling themselves democrats who disap
pointed at not being allowed to thrust themselves into
the State convention, resolved to try every dodge
and resort to every device which the most knavsh in
genuty imagine TO defeat the democratic party and
throw power into the hands of the black republicans.
happy to inform you, the most reliable authority
that the unworthy attempt of this bogus organization will
ceive hundredth part Of the democratic vote which will
be cast for the nominees of the regular democratic
ton which il to DO held on Saturday next. The nom-
Of the boilers, Mr. John H. Reynolds has just the
same right to be considered democrat has Mr.
Horace f. Clark, Mr.. John B. Haskin, Mr. J. w.
Forney He is avowedly most bitter enemy of Mr.
Buchanan and is known TO have written letter to SEN
or Douglas last winter dcnouncng Mr. Buchanan in the
most severe terms and appaudng the Illinois senator in
the most fulsome language. This is the nominee for
Congress Of this democratic convention!
The resolutions, however, dispe all shadow of doubt
the character and objects OF tho organization All
the knayish captrap of forcing upon people const
tuition against their consent and obnoxious to their
Wishes Of discrimination in favor Of slave States
&c. is contained in these Courtney resolutions After
this degrading cant to catch krepubcan favor the
resolutions make sneering allusion to Mr.. Buchanan,
whose administration the boilers degn to submit to the
Judgment of the American people similar vulgar is
flung at the State ticket chosen at the Syracuse convention
the most complete rebellion against party discipline usage
and organization declared and persistence in this
hellion ayowed until the destructionof the democratic
party is achieved. Hon VIM. A. Young, Mr.. Reynolds,
and Mr. Courtney may BIO very sptefu very sorely dis
appointed very malicious and very INSCRIPTIONS but
all that they accomplish miserable mpotent pigmies
they are, cannot nict the most Insignificant injury
on the democratic party. They work their own
political ruin, Gf il has not been already accompshcd
but they cannot cheat the American people into the be-
lief that they young, Reynolds, Courtney, Coo are
working for any better higher purpose than to get
chance to 'crook the pregnant hinges OF the knee
practice which they now SO contcmptuousy affect to
spun. As proof Of the orthodox democracy( of Mr.
Reynolds and his convention just learn that the black
republicans of Albany county have adopted him their
own pet candidate for Congress
