THE STATE CANVASS.
Fears Of tho Albany Reecncy-The Terrible
YoupR Democracy.


Correspondence OF The sun.
ALBANY, Sept 10, 1870-The capital is
the spot for catching the drift of State politics,
for IL is here that their many currents meet and
mingle, or clash and foam.
o'BRIES AND LrDwIru.
The advice Of The Sun of this morning, that
The best way for tho Democracy to heal their
fcuds is to give tho Lieutenant Goycrnorship to
0'Bricn, and the bOyoralty Of your city to Led
with, has produced strong impression upon the
Regency. They remember that the lIunkcrs and
the Barnburncrs, and oftcrward tho Hards and
the Soft5, used to reconcile their differences by
dividing their tickets equally between tho two
factions twas on this plan that Seymour and
Church, in 1850, and again in 1852, were nomi-
mated for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, the
former being q Htmkcr, and the latter Barn
burner. The State tickets were balanced and
victory achieved solely by this mode in half
dozen close contests.
rauE TACTICS OF THE YOUNG DEMOCRACY.
But the irregular faction was able TO get its
representative upon the ticket only by the bold
est man@uyring, and by threatening to bolt If it
was not recognized and rewarded. The Young
Democracy Of your city cannot win unless they
pursue this course and they certainly will if they
do, for the Regency are awfuliy afraid Of them,
and nervously anxious for Hoffman.
no FOR ROCHESTER,
The path 10 victory IL open TO 0Brien, Led.
with, and their associates, if they only have the
courage to pursue IL. Let them send a strong
delegation TO the Rochester Convention, and in
sis upon their rights and threaten to bolt IL their
oil a. eli
ated at the dictation of Tammany, and their tri-
umph is sure They will get good place on the
State ticket, and the Mayoralty will fall into
their hands.
CHEF JUDGE cuuRcHs OPINION.
II is understood here that 20 shrewd a manager
as the Hon Sanford Il. Church recommend s a
generous recognition of the Young Democracy Of
the metropolis in making up the State ticket. He
feels grateful for their enthusiastic support Of
him last May for Chief Judge Of the Court Of APP
pcals aud a he resides at Rochester, his coun-
sci can be sought and his advice given without an
uuscemly interference with political affairs.
TUE cosKLNG -rENroN QUARREL.
The Democratic magnates at the capital are
not without hopes Of realizing great benefits in
the canvass from the remorseless slaughter Of
overthrow of Senator Fenton at Saratoga Re-
ports low in here from the southern and western
| counties that the friends Of Fenton terribly
inccnsed, and will secretly cut the Republican
| State ticket, and that the sincere supporters OF
| Mr.. Grccleys claims TO the Goyernorshp are,
| like that eminent philosopher himself in q very
unamiabo mood.
| FESroN AND GREELEY SOLD.
The story that Fenton and Greeley were sold
| ont at Saratoga for grccnbacks and promises o
Federal patronage is fully credited by those who
were behind the scenes and is having its legiu
mate effect all through the rural districts. They
| declare that the discontinue Of Fenton and tn
sacrifice of Greeley by such means was out
rage and they charge the result upon the mex
| pli3ablc desire Of the President to secure tn
nomination of his friend Woodiord, no matte
what il might cost the Republican party.
REAL FEARS Tue nsGEScY.
However, as little Woodford is not $
much TO blame for getting his nomiuatio
through by hook o. by crook-a nonina
lion which, at the outset, not ten men
the Convention really intended to bestow upo
him--the hopes OF the Regency from these quar-
rcls do not concordance their fears of I'll
Young Democracy. Some of the old fogies pre-
rose to throttle them. Wiser heads desire I
couci'iate them for they know that they are
tough crowd TO encounter in a stand-up fgh
Tammany may be able to circumvent them in
city election, but the Democrats Of the interi'
say that the State is now at stake, and they mu
be won over 10 the regular standard, or all
lost Let the Young Democracy strike
