tom.
The treacbery Of the Albany Regency to
Henry \. Wise has brought forth its appro-
pirate fruit. The fraud has been consummated
a, Syracuse by a vote to appoint delegates to
Re Charleston Convention. The democracy of
his State have thus been treated with con
tempt, and instead Of being permitted to
select the men they wished to repre-
sent them in the National Convention
10 nominate candidate for the Presidency,
he Albany Regency, consisting of Confidence
Cassidy, Cagger. Comstock, Corning, Rich
mond 4 Co., have taken the selection out of
their hands and arranged it themselves. This
seliconstitu,ed oligarchy in effect tell the peo-
pie, You are blockheads; you don't know
enough to choose proper delegates to nomi-
nate a candidate for the Presidency we
are The wise men Of the State; have conf
dcnce in Us, and leave the whole matter
IN cur hands and when we have fixed upon our
own man then we will condescend to allow
YOU TO vote for him.
Thus are our democratic Institutions practi-
caily turned into the despotism of an oligarchy,
and the sovereign people are treated as mere
cirh,rs or negro slaves, who have no right 70
link and act for themselves But the end is
not yet. a day of reckoning is to come 1t
,tmains to be seen how the Charleston Conven-
Fion will receive delegation appointed under
such circumstances.
!; appears from the accounts we have re-
ceiyed Of yesterdays proceedings at Wieting
Hall. that row and a riot took place. and that

possession Of The hall. But strange to say. the
stronger party soon returned. and carried out
I'll heir proceedings peaceably including the
resolution to send delegates to Charles
ten. Now, this looks exceedingly suspicious.
very Ike sham fight and good farce
Fer our own part We have not much doubt
that the rot was got up to order by the Re-
gency. in order to throw odiuni upon their op-
ponents by making it appea. that it originated
with them. his is just like a game they
would plsy-what they have actually done in
NAc CiSf VI GONelEuI wise causing IL
TO be published themselves while they endes-
sored to throw the blame on Others
Gre thing is clear. and that is that the de-
rlccracy Of the State win be split in two by
the policy of the Regency, jus, as they were
in 1913 There is double organization. But
the fight IS adjourned to the Charleston Con-
vention- The Mozart Hall men who adjourned
to the VOORHEES, House wisely nominated the
same ticket which it was known the Regency
intend b nominate to-day. They appointed a
State Central Committee. and have given the
people the opportunity of voting by districts
for delegates to the Charleston Convention
This will render their organization
popular. and perhaps determine the
National Convention az to their choice between
the TWO sets of delegates. Our despatch states
that there Is panic among the Regency on &C
count Of this separate organization. and well
there may be. This division, Notwithstanding
that the TWO State tickets may coincide, i cal
