Correspondence OF The New-York Tribune.


ALBANY, Feb J, lssS


There is time to laugh, says the wise man;
and surely, were yeu now in Albany, you would say
that Solomon was not far out of the way. ne
chickering's between the Conservatives and the De
srruc,ives, as the t1o branches of the great Dem
ocratic party are designated, are amusing Their
efforts to appear cordial toward each other in pub
lie, remind one forcib!y Of the extra politeness oi
the brigand who hunbly begged pardon of his VIC
tim at the very moment he blew out his brains.
You will see rare spor, before the Session closes.
The volcano which only family rumbied during
the State Printing excitement, will exhibit an rf-
equvocal eruption before many days, or am
grossly mistaken As an illustration of the friendly
feeling between the two contending factions, l
will give you loye-passage between an humble
adhorent Of each. You are probably aware that
the Jo7ty who voted in caucus for VIM. c. Bryant,
Immediately received the apPelasion OF the Forty
There's One Of these forty was railing soundly'
the sext morning, q, the treachery of the Croswei
branch of the party, yclcpt The Conservatives.
One of the latter rather netted at the pointed re-
mark of one of the Forty, interrupted him with
the abrupt query-"Are you one of the Forty
Thieves ~ Yes" retorted the other; Il and
had rather be thief, any time, than Conser-
ratire"


You cannot bst have observed the strong ground
which Senator DICKINSON has taken il relation to
certain acts Of the Governor while Canal Commits
sioner What will be the result, am unable TO
say. DICKINSON is very confident Of mis- ability
fully to sustain his charge and the unusual futier-
ing of the Bouckites in the Senate is rather amin-
ou. that they fear the result of fair and searching
inquiry. The resolution to withdraw inquiry
into certain acts of BoucK, which bad been sent TO
the Canal Commissioners, was adopted by very
slim vote 1t was subject of general remark.
tha, lust as the vote was TO be taken, the flagg
Senators-or Barnburners, as Dickinson calls
them-shot the pit. That was a curious move.


We have the advantage in the Assembly. The
Loco-F Focos miss the tap of Admiral HOFFMAN
drum. Such penny whistles as McMURRAf,
HATHAWAY, and even your learned jurist, JONES,
have not the stamina TO lead such curious mass
Of heterogeneous Loco-Focoism as is found in the
minority in that House. 'OLD EsoCH,' OF Mon
J


roe can lash these minor satellites into pro-
per fury at any moment. WILLIS HALL is host.
They fear him and well they may. They find In
him giant that can rend asunder their miserable
sophis,ries almost without an effort. His speech
yesterday on the Virginia question has carried con-
stcrnation into their ranks 1t cannot be answered,
although HATHAWAY did give notice OF his inten-
ton to uncork his small beer bottle IN reply. The
efforts of the Loco-F Focos in the Assembly TO man
age HALL, remind one strongly of the Herculean
attempts of the Liputians to make prisoner OF
Gulliver.


OF oifice-seekers-their name is legios. They
swarm around the 'Old White Horse like the To-
Gusts Of Egypt. Like those locusts, the fate OF
too mauy will be, to be cast into the Red Sea OF
disappointment The Tammany Hall grog-brus-
ers look blue at the tectotal proclamation OF His
Excellency. Can't some of your Washingtonians
send up some es post facto recommendations
They would bring any price.


Mr.. FAULKNERs bill for aid to the N. T. and
Erie Railroad came up in the Senate to-day. Mr.
PLATr offered an amendment to make the road
State scork. No question was taken. CHAMBER
LAIN, the new Loco-Foco Senator from the Sixth
District avowed his determination to support the
amendment FAULKNER showed the white feather.


The Senate went into Executive Session to-day.
Contrary to the general expectation it is rumored
that no New-York nominations have as yet been
made. What will become Of those poor fellows
whose pockets already begin to give back an empty
sound They must hold up unless special
Executive Message is transmitted


Yours, WATcHTowER.
