ALBANY, Feb. Q, 1850.
n POLITICAL SITUATION AT ALBANY.
am inf srned that letter has been circulated for Sig
natures eeded by Greeley and Others addressed to Gov
Srnof Snton, requesting him to allow the of his
name ga candidate for reelection This docun1Bnt has

else shich could be named II is tho key to the political
Btu son any such has been developed thus far
I'D many foot here, but only few OF

kving around the central question: who shall Gov.
xnorS There good deal of talk about radical and
sntiradcal but no line be drawn in the dominant
party that will indicate correct div son Of 1t upon dis
tnctve principles The divisions here only personal
We have Greeley against Weed, have Fenton and
anti Fenton; but these factions have no positive
analogy the divisions Of the party seen IN Congress
on national issues 1t is probable that Of two men
Fenton and Folgerthe latter is principle more Of
radical than the Governor yet they supposed to be
srrayed against each other on the Health bill, and
probably will be on many measures here. Nothing as
yet has come up to show where the dividing line would
run purely radical issue such as presented by
questions pending in Congress few resolutions have
been offered but they have been referred debate
everybody Is waiting for some conclusive action at
Washington. II is conceded on all sides that this is not
the place for the initiative and neither of the parties
nor even Of the factions is prepared to take definite
stand.
