MOVEMENTS OF THE ALBANY REGENCY AT
BALTIMoRE.-The firm of Cassidy, Caggcr & Co.
is at its old tricks again. All last week they
were holding private caucuses in the Broadway
hotels, and making arrangements for the
slaughter of Douglas and other candidates at
Baltimore, in order to make room for their own
plant tools. The latest Developments are
those concerning scheme gotten up by Ho-
ratio Seymour, through which the Convention
was to be induced to take up poor Pierce as a
compromise candidate. A more compromising
candidate could scarcely be found than poor
Pierce, who, 1t appears, has been sneaking
about the squares up town, in the vicinity OF
Eleventh and Twelfth streets, and endeavoring
to ascertain his chances for denomination. Ii
was freely stated, as early as Wednesday of
last week, at the st. Nicholas Hotel, the head
quarters of the Regency, that Douglas was to
be dropped by the New York delegation after
the third or fourth ballot. Following this an
nouncement, on Thursday came a very long
interview between poor Pierce and Dean Rich
mond, at Pierce's lodgings up town. This was
succeeded by general council of the Regency
Richmond, Cassidy, Cagger 4 Co.-which COM
menced on Friday night, and was continued
during the whole Of Saturday. on the evening
Of which day the whole party, including poor
Pierce, went of to Baltimore, to operate on the
delegates. As to Seymour and Pierce. they
have had private understanding as to the sue
ccssion since the autumn a 1859. The Regency
wants Seymour and Pierce, or Pierce and Scy-
mour; they are not particular as to the arrange
ment, so they have the spoils, which they
would get in any event. II Is a very pretty
scheme for the Regency. no doubt, but we can
tell the delegates to Baltimore that If they take
up silly Seymour or poor Pierce, they will bring
their cabbages to worse market than that Of
old Martin Van Buren,.
