The GAME OF THE ALBANY REGENCY.-In the
late democratic conventions the cunning of the
Albany Regency has apparently overreached
itself, and Richmonds prestige for sagacity is
gone. His object, as declared by himself, In
persisting in q course which has brought two
democratic candidates for President into the
field, is to maintain his ascendancy in the State
of New York, and win the local elections by the
war cry Of the Douglas. But he must be blind
indeed who does not see that the same cause
which will defeat the democracy in the Presi-
DENTAL contest will defeat it in the State cleo
TONS In every county and town, from Cover
nor and Congressman. down to constable, there
will be two democratic tickets for every Office

publcans and to the victors belong the spoils
Bat il is highly probable there is an understand
ing with the Seward and Weed faction that the
Regency and their Swiss troops will participate
in the plumber thrown into the hands of the
republican party by the sinister action of
Richmond, Cagger, Cassidy, Ludlow and the rest
Michigan, and others, by which the directors of
the Illinois and the Michigan railroads, in the
event Of the New York delegation voting for
Douglas, were to play into the hands Of Dean
Richmond and the other owners of the New
York Central, TO the loss and detriment of the
Erie Railroad, involves consideration of no
small moment to the clique who, through their
railroad interest have managed to control the
politics Of the State for many years. In this
concern Weed 4 Co. are partners Hence the
game Of the Regency, If they could not get their
own man, Seymour, nominated by some trick,
was to break up the party and give the election
to their friends the republicans.
THE HousroS MOVEMENT In THE EXPIRE
STArE.-The friends Of Sam Houston seem
encouraged by the split IN the democratic
ranks, and they are organizing their party as
rapidly rs possible. The executive committee
has called State convention. TO meet at Sche-
nectady ON the 18th of next month, to
nominate q Houston electoral ticket The
Houston convention will be the earliest
In the field and with the old hero of
San Jacinto we shall have FIVE candidates in the
field. Well, the more the mcrricr. II IL an IN
wind that blows nobody good and with half
dozen candidates in the field there will be three
times as many salutes to be fred, bills 10 be
printed and banners to be painted Then the
increased demand for stump orators will deve-

to work of his political bile. 40 as to have

candidates. The political field, like the Broad

there Is room for half a dozen more. Remem-
Der the new rule. however, and have your small
change ready, so that you may pass up your
fare before you enter for the race.
A SLIGHT DIFFERENCES or OrrxroS.--Gover-
nor johnson, in his speech accepting the nomi-
nation for the Vice Presidency, gave us some
important information. Among other things, he
stated that the national democratic party was In
. peculiar condition." and the country was,
on account Of the peculiar condition of the
party, in imminent danger Of ruin; that our
salvation, in point OF fAct depended upon the
national democratic party, and the election of
Douglas and johnson. This remark r. more to
be noted for it's utter fallacy than its extreme
modesty. We believe that the country will
manage to get along very comfortably without
the national democratic or any other party. II
is the best thing that could happen TO the coun-
try, this war among the factions, for when
rogues fall out honest men get their dues. II
every political organization in the country
should be swept away tomorrow, we should
still carry on the business Of government; and
