ALBANY ASSURANCE.

Correspondence OF The n. Y. Tribune.
ALBANY Feb. 8, 1851.
Complaint was formerly made that clerk was co..
ployed in the Controllers Office simply to lock after
turns from Insurance Companies and it was noticed
that the clerk aforesaid gentleman Of leisure -
well as Of position. But place with patronage wAs
wanted Cor gentleman without occupation, and 30 The
Insurance Bureau was created with number Of clefx-
ships together with considerable outside patronage,
and VIM. Barnes ESQ.,, son-in-law to Mr.. Thurlsw
Weed was duly installed in the place, at an expense
to the insured of some 10000. But the present liberal
salary Of s. 500 and extras to the Superintendent ana
the generous allowances to Clerks and Examiners Do
fore the end of single year fail to satisfy, and no"
it is proposed to double this allowance.
And this is demanded in the name OF the insuranee
Companies which are called upon to foot tho Bills ana
il is against this that wish particularly to protest.
The present law such that ii is for the interest OF In
surance Companies not to quarre! with superntendsas
and his employees. Therefore some may have been ,
induced 10 sign consent to this increase Of salaries and
others may be reluctant TO publicly demonstrate ags
it, Nevertheless it is felt to be outrage. Besides.
the Department was created by the Legislature on the
pretext that it was required to protect the insured
against insurers hence il is mockery to claim thas
the Companies ask this enormous increase of salary.
When the present Constitution was made, 1t was
supposed that the power 10 create offices and increase
salaries was sufficiently restricted. Experience "
showing that the wise men Of the Convention were I'M
equal to the cunning of the Albany Lobby.

The Journal des Dictate says: L" The South

means nothing or it means that if war breaks

1t seems that Mr.. Weed, appointed to the
Virginia Conference in place of Democrat, de-
Granger, Slyer-Gray Wing, one OF the most
ancient fossils known in our politics. While
we do not question the ju-tce of Mr.
Weeds Judgment with regard TO the sort of per-
son who will best represent hs views, we still
regret that he himself did not serve. OF all the
Compromisers sent by New-York to that Confer
ence, no one could defend the policy of Northern
surrender more efficiently than he; and since 1t
must be defended there, 1t ought to be done to
the best possible advantage.

Sir. Greeley received his commission to Chicago

who bcsought him TO represent that State III the
National Convention, it being impossible for the
delegates previously appointed to be present.
This commission was not accompanied by any ILL.,
siructions whatever as The Journal enormously
asserts, nor have the people of Oregon ever de
approved the manner in which the trust was dis
charged. If there was anything eqnvocal in the
receipt, unsolicited and unexpected, of such
mark of confidence from a distant State, or If
there was ANYTHING improper and unfit in under

The Albany Erening Jo"rHoI has engaged IN
the study of the old files of TIE TRIBUNE, and
has discovered that we were last year in favor
of nominating as candidate for the Presidency
somebody who could be elected. Hence The
.JournGl reasons that we ought now to advocate
the Crittenden Compromise, or something as
nearly Ike it as our courage might admit of.
But there is an immense difference between
the two things, and this Tie journal seems not
to appreciate. We last year desired to nominate
conservative candidate for the Presidency in
order to insure the triumph of Republican prin-
ciples. We now oppose Compromise because it
will insure the triumph Of Pro-Slayery Demo
cratic principles, and destroy Republlcanism. Do

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 1851.
A NATIONAL CONVENTION.


A NATIONAL CONVENTION.
A proposition is likely to be soon offered in the
Compromisers Convention, under Republican
auspices, proposing an accommodation on the
basis of a National Convention for the considera-
ton of amendments TO the Constitution, to be
called by the States on the recommendation of
Congress. The action of Kentucky in asking for
such a Convention, and the bold and confident
attitude of Senator johnson of Tennessee, backed
BY the recent election in that State, is supposed
to assure the support of those States TO such
proposition. If it should prove satisfactory to
them as seems not improbable, the other Border
States would be likely to concur, either from
choice or necessity, and thus comparatively
easy way be paved for the adjustment and ult-
mate solution of the present difficulties.

will rush to South Carolina or some other heroic
