ALBANY, July 6, 1865.
The interest which formerly centred at the State
capital has greatly waned since The political
tre of the republican party was transferred to
Washington Weed and the OLD regency OF that
party are no longer ia permanent session here
With the second Presidential defeat of the demo-
cratic Albany regency that concern also has APP
parently disappeared. But nevertheless, if only
for associations sake, the State capital seems to
be the fitting place from which to transmit to you
this abstract of political survey of the State en-
bracing personal examination of every import
ant district and detailed consultations with the
leading men of all the principal political interests
The present juncture Of politics is one Of extra
ordinary Importance. There has been no parallel
to it in the history of parties since the retirement
of Washington and the period when Jefferson
Hamilton and Burr commended for ascendancy and
the creation of controlling political organization
out of the divisions Which took place alter the al
but unanimous popular sway OF the Father of his
Country. And, as in that epoch, the party whicn
will now obtain stable position upon Judicious
platform in the government can hold its power e.
east Tor this generation.

season of political revolutions. With the naugu-
ration of the late President and the close Of the
rebellion it was perceived that the organizations
known as the Union leagues had laid their plans
for an exclusive control of the administration and
a monopoly of all public appointments .9r their
members. The ''Union party was comrosed OF
accessons from Gil the other organizations acting

Iican party. witln this Organization the Union
leagues extended themselves in every county ard
State, and in this State il IS noticeable that they
had collected in each cuo particular homo
geneous class-the abolition or Chase radicals
for their members. The design OF the leagues to
superssde the party organization at large and
usurp its control WAS developed in tse city Of
New York, and thence has extended TO the other
counties. In the "Union party the question
.ot the day is whether this design shall
succeed, and il SO, what viii be the re-
suit to that party and to the adrnisira-
ton at Washington. Thus far it is certain
that the activity and success Of the League faction
In absorbing the Offices and patronage place the
profits Of the party, if not its power in their hands,
and with this great magnet they seem to sway
conventions and dictate appointments IN ell drec-
tiDns. The only interruption to their course or
doubt as to their permanent power has arisen since
the accession Of Andy Johnson, and the cloud
which has OF late oycrshadowsd their dreams
arising from the general speculation a. 10 his
course, policy and probable party affiliations.
Under Lincoln they were certain oil prolonged pos

compel the recognition OF their claim TO the ex.
elusive enjoyment Of all the desirable Offices and
enolunents OF the party.
