uou il the saue hnmiliating position which che
occupied ia the last, so that politicians of Other
States uay construct the democratic platform
ao6 make the Preside atial nomination without
ner cooperation" But the truth j., IA we be-
leve it, lat Governor Wise obtained his cue
hom soue New Yok politician deep in the sc.
crets OF the Albany Regency, aud resolved to
dstt them with their own weapons. Aud with
regard TO the 'humiliating position" of the New
York democracy, was it ever more hum iaticg
than 10 1913, when the Regency bolted from the
Baltimore Convention aud put up Martin Vau
Buren for the Presidency on his abolition Buffalo
platform, and the Albany atlas as the central
organ of Stewards 'irrepressible conflict" with
slavery and the elave powerf
And such an organ, with such antecedents, un.
der,akes TO sneer at the antecedents OF Governor
Wise, the consistent enemy of ''the Little Magi-
cian'' from first to last This is cool but the
impudence of the Chevalier Cassidy In deploring
the "humiliating" position Of New York is posi-
lively sublime. Still, he gives us hint with re-
gard to the construction of the democratic plat
form which is very suggestive. The Regency
desire solid delegation at Charleston, so that
New York may have voice upon the "plat.
FORM" And wherefore? What are the Regency
driving at? We will undertake to answer.
The democratic Regency at Albany is close
money making and lobby jobbiag corpo.
ration, under the general management of our
Central Railroad clique. This clique has
kindly undertaken to govern the STATE of New
York after the fashion OF the Camden and Amboy
despotism of New Jersey and the Central Rail-
road land jobbing company o. Hin 'is. To this
eLd our Central railway concern ha, formed a
lobby coalition at Albaoy, compre aending the
Seward clique of Thurlow Weed aud their cen
trail organ, the Journal, ami the de nocratic Re-
gency and their organ, the Aaas-Arys And it
so happens, while the political antecedeats' and
proclivities Of this Regency are with Seward,
that their lobby and financial schemes are most
intimately dependent upon The 81 ,cess of the
Seward party.
We conclude therefore, that the real object of
the Regency in their endeavors to haveIa voice in
the construction of the Charleston platform is
simply to divide and defeat the party, by the in
PRODUCTION of some of the anti slavery, free sol,
free labor, free land and " free wooV principles
of the good old Buffalo platform. And why not?
when the defeat of the democracy, as in 1S4S,
and the success OF Seward as in 1858, will best
subserve the fnanc al jobs and lobby schemes of
Richmond, Cagger, Thurlow Weed and all con-
cerned? Is this corrup', ring streaked and
striped" Albany coalition of fnan ,iers specula-
tors and lobb7 jobbers in our political elections
any better to-day than it was yesterday, or last
year, or ten or twenty years ago? Would this
Regency hesitate now to betray Mr.. Dickinson, or
Mr.. Hunter, or anybody else, If the end should
Justify the means, considering their treachery
| against General Cass and Mr.. Dickinson and
| Governor Wise, and their double dealing game
between Mr.. Douglas and Mr.. Buchanan? No.
The whole game Of the Regency is power and
| plumber, and to ruin their party when they can.
| not rule it.
Away back from the palmy days Of Van Buren,
! ism, we dare say, down to the present time
Governor Wise is well posted up with the inside
history plots conspiracies and rascalites of this
Albany Regency; and with all this ammunition
| at his command he can rake them clean to the
decks. That he will do so, and cary the war into
Africa, we have had some limitations. The let.
ter, in which he explains the Donnelly epistle,
published in another column of this morning.
papea, is merely an entering wedge. We hope
that he will not disappoint us and stop at
this short explanatory note, for we believe
that such breadside as Wise is capable Of
pouring into the rotten hulk of this Albany Re-
gency would drive the honest democracy away
from it, as rats are driven from sinking chip.
