ALBANY, Jan 20, 1851.
There great deal OF excitement upon the Senatorial
question The rien As OF each candidate are as busy "a
mortals well be- The that Evarts
not upon Weeds slate and the probabilities that Harris
Cook or some other person would be found there
raised perfect confederation amongst tho friends of
Evarts. This change in the programme OF the Albany
chief was brought about by the feeling that got up
against Evars and it reported upon reliable author
ty. that Weed wrote to Evarts asking him to
decline. Instead, however, OF declining, he sent
. strong lobby up in his favor, who were to
be found yesterday, in company with several
members, who became alarmed at the proper
tons that the Greeley had assumed rolled up
their sleeves and entered upon vigorous canvass for
Evarts The result that last evening no person but
Evarts appeared to have any chance the best
of authority for stating that he the candidate Of
the Albany Regency. This decision, in my opinion,
strengthens Greeley, and will drive number Of the
Western members to the support OF the Tribune phioso

as laid down in his Castle Garden speech. upon
the Fugitive Slave law. Preparations are being made
to circulate this speech amongst the members. It

morning two important pamphlets one containing Evarts

Greeley's friends are not going to LET Evarts walk
over the course without contest-they will

Greeley. At the time when Evarts stock was down
his chances supposed TO have been helpless 1t
Is that Judge Selden waited upon by

R. SeldeD, would consent TO become candidate This
request complied WITH but to the hour of writing
this Mr. Selden had not decided whe ther he would allow
his to be used not and since Evars Is the

unless IL s as compromise candidate, when the battle
between Evarts and Greeley results in draw. His
chances all rest, matters stand, upon that
