OUR SPECIAL ALBANY DESPATCH.
ALBANY, Jan. 2l, 1860.
The politicians bestrring themselves in preparatsa
for the coming campaign. There has been large -
tendance Of the faithful here during the last fe days.
especially is this true with the republican politicians vAs
are preparing for the Chicago Convention and the Gube
Material contest for next The arrangement q
the state for the canvass is found to be no easy task
there are disturbing elements caused by the reaction from
the John Brown raid that have destroyed the former
harmony
Weed has returned from Washington, and again css-
ting and trimming things around the Albany lobby aaA
whitewashDR the wigwam Of the Regency he is andns
plenty to do to keep matters straight The election Of the
delegates to the Chicago Convention just claiming
his attention. There has been quite rush Of pol cans
from the country 10 this city, who came here TO
Father Weed on his return from the troublesome camp
Washington 10 console the old gentleman in his fruiess
abors at the national capital wadsworth Opdykc and
several Others have been in consultation with him
he plan for electng the delegates Weed declares that
the Convention shall appoint committee and give them
full authority 10 select the delegates This is the plan
that best suits the Albany Regency, for the
that It centres in them power and puts the
uneasy Of the party under their control Weed there
FORE insists that this order shall be obeyed by all of his
subordnstes and every corporal that dars dsobey win
have his commission cancelled at The power Of the
Regency great that there doubt but this coupk
and undemocrac mode Of appointing the delegates to tho
Chicago Convention will be adopted. As far the lisa q
delegates that Will be selected concerned, there
need for Convention; the Regency have made up their
slate and all that the Convention will have to do will be =
formally raty the selection already made The idea that
the people elect delegates to the Chicago Convention is
perfectly preposterous-they bave to do with Il
than n Hrdooetan. Weed and Schoocraft have H.
ready that long before the delegates elected
County Conventions set Of have been selected that
viii go to Chicago tools Of Weed men who will mot
dare blow their nose until they have obtained the consent
OF their master In thus making up the slate particular
bas been taken keep the democratic portion in the
background, for fear that they may desire to declare
action Enough however have been placed on the slae|
to show this faction that they have not been entirely for
gotten.
The breach between Weed and Opdyke has been heal
ed past grievances have been forgotten, and they
taking ever !heir future plans. II is seldom that Weed
makes up with enemy but In this case he mas found
necessary; the influence welded by Opdyke and hk
friends In the republican party in New York has induced
him fake different than usual for fear of bef
crowded out himself This has been pleasing ID
Cpdyke who has aspiration for the Gubernatorial chair
Mr capp, of the Buffalo E1prs, has been here for he
oren warfare between him and Regency since 1857
when IL said that Weed turned against the regulAl
ticket and defeated Mr. Clapp the nominee for Secretary
q State Mr.. CSpp was sent for by his friends here, wh
thought that they cav chance here for Mr. to get %
nsce view Of The Old wgwam and once more sit around
the table with the faithful He obtained interview w
j. L. Schoocran the financial agent Of the Regency, and
treasurer Of the state Central Committee who forgsv9
