TU NEW YORK: DEMODB avy. anaaaanale”7. Meeting of the Democratle State Central Committee at Albany Yesterday. Harmony and Good Feeling Among the Leaders. NWhat the Country Democrats Say of Tammany. Whe Party All Right and No- body Scared. ALBANY, Sept. 6, 1871. Te would have filled an old lobbyist’s beart with to have witnessed the crowd of politicians that wooped down upon the Delevan House to-day from ali quariers of the State, Albany, you know, ‘with the meinders of the Legislature at home, @eesn’t amount to much as alively piace. A congre- ‘gation of out-of-town politicians in the viliage is the enly thing that stirs it up, aud the presence of the Abe Democratio State Central Committce this after- meon proved quile aGodsend. As member aiter ‘member dropped into the hote! the raral politiclans of the democratic siripe began to put in an appear- ‘ance, and by noon there were on hand as many aliques as there are cities in the State, cach one eager to have tts pet town recognized as the only ene worth speaking of for the honor of euter- Saining THE NEXT CONVENTION. Indeed, you couldn't walk two steps in the hall- ‘Ways or barroum without stumbling against one of Yast year's law makers, while the crowds in the ves- tibule and on the sidewalks reminded one forcibly of the paimy days of last Apri, when the ‘dead Jock” drew everybody who knew how to pull ® political wire in any county straight into the capital. It was at first supposed that whe meeting of the commutee would be a stormy ‘ene; that the country folks would get their dander mp and take the New Yore members to tasx for al- Jewing such @ fuss to be made over the city and County accounts without choking tt down at once. ‘The New York Custom House clique, who had their lattle quota of ‘disinterested spectators” on hand, foretold a row twenty-four hours before the first Member of the Convention had arrived; and they Rrew all about it, yon Know, for they nad talked the *hing over with Mr. Such-and-So, whose real name abey felt too delicate to make public, Tnen the democratic “‘croakers,’” wno nevor feel at ease when any political meeting has a fearful !ook about it, and who HANEER FOR THE GOOD THINGS Mhey always denounce more fortunate people for Raving added their sinister prophecies to the mys- kertous stories retatied by the non-partisan republl- van “spectators” about the storm cloud they knew vas certain to break out in room 67, and ao on went She gossip of the Joupgers In the barrooms and hall- Ways unui ws Gotiiitoo had takéu liselt up alaira And gone to work to settle the day and date of tho Convention, “You will find,” said one of the prophets to your correspondent, as he elbowed his way through tno Joungers in a vain effort to get into the committoe yoom—“you will find that the committee will not ad@ourn to-day.” “Why aot” Lasked, rather put out by the pros- pect of having to pine away for a whole night In “Because,” and the wise prophet raised bis fore- Gnger slowly to his compressed lips and solemnly tooked me straight in the face for fully five peconds—'‘Because,” said he, finally, “I koow all about it, There is a very bad fecling among the vountry members against the Tammany representa- lives, and they’ll catch fits to-day.” “Is this reituble?’? “Perfectly reliable, I know most of the members personally and youcan depend upon what | say.” This reliable gentleman was not the only ‘of sider whom I sound buttonholing every new comer and telling the same doleful story of Tuk ROW THAT Was TO BE, 80 you can easily imagine now the story grew in ons as it was retailed from mouth to mouth, it was after four o'clock when the committee went up stairs to room 67 to deliberate, and, bein, anxious to witness any row that would occur, succeeded in getting a good outlook whence I could fake the whole scene in at agiance. But I was floomed to disappointment. Instead of a row there a to be @ pleasant family gathering in he room, Everyboay was shaking hands with everybody elee, and when Mr. Sweeny, fication | in band, quietly walked in, instead o1 being scowl! atand frowned at because he happened to come from New York city, as the ‘prophets’? had ted me to believe would be tue case, he wus surrounded by the other members, who vied with each other in giving him A VERY HEARTY WELCOME, fu fact the reauton was as pleasant as could be, and everybody appeared to be as natured with body ied as though tho Legislature was in wit workin; ry majority in beth houses. Nor was this tho sunshine which des a bes gl for the committees, wichout fiuch sao went to work at once, and in ten minates the object for which they had been onlled together was gccomplisned, There were present of the twenty members, of waich the committee ts com- eel the following:—8, J. Tilden, New York; J. ‘arrea, Bafulu; Delos De Wolf, Oswego; Peter B. Sweeny, New York; Jamos |. Nelxon, Sony Point; William Oassidy, Albany; G. A. Albany; N. W. Gordon, Bein; ©, 0. B. Walker, Corning; James Jackson, - port; G. E. Cornell, New York; W. J. Ave’ densbarg; G. W. Cuylor, Elmira; H. A. Richm Buffalo; Wm. A. Fowler, Brooklyn; J. McConibe, Troy. ‘this was a largef attendance of members than bad heen known at any meeting for years pre- vious, showing that the majarity felt the importance Mr. Tilden took the chatr and Mr, Oassidy acied as secretary. Delos De Wolf made the motion to vote the day Mew and Mr. Cuyier moved the vote to aa upon the city where, tne convention should held. There was no contest of any moment, and the «th of ‘October fixed upon as the day, was and Rochester tne city, The vote on the latter ques- tion stood:—Rochester, 11; Saratoga, 4; Nelson, Cornell, Averill and Fowler being the four, The following resoiution was then adopted:— Resolved, That the democrats of the State are requested to nd one delegate trom each Assembly district, to meet ut on thi day of October next, at twelve M., 10 to be supported by the electors of the lection for the ofticea of Secre! ot Prison Inspector, an ereie alan versioles se Engineer, Prison Ing} * rey theflatercete of the party may demand. me This wound ey proceedings, and without any discussion whatever on any gut ject the adjournment took place. While the committee wero in session and long after it had adjourned, the politicians remained tn the hallways and vestibule and barroom, discussing the future chances of the party. THE TAMMANY AQCOUNTS were touched upon by afew, a very few; for some- how the rural folks didn’t seem to take half tne interest in the bub-bub that 1s being made in New York about them that [ expected they would, or if they took much interest in them they carefully avolded getting “interviewed” on the subject, “Why," said a prominent Monroe county man to me, in answer to & question as to what the country peoplo in his district thought avout the matter, “ail that fuss down there don’t scare us a bit, ‘There are a few, 1 believe, whor It will affect at the t election, but don’t think they will do much changing the general result You The republicans Comptroller, Treasurer, o toward oe we can hoid our own. can talk as they piease and try to pol) uv mto the fight against Tammany, but the thing wont go down with any great number. 1 have, during the past few weeks, travelled cousid- erably in the western part of the State, andl have reason to believe where we had majorities last year ‘we'll have them tuts year."” ‘You have no fears, then, that§thefrepablicans will 'y the State,’ “None whatever, They can't doit nohow.

FITCHBURG, Mass., Sept. 6, 1871, ‘This evening, for the seventh time since the open- ing of the fal) campaign, General Butler has orated to his fellow citizens. He made his appearance at this place on board the train from Boston at half- past six o’clock and was met at the depot by a com- mittee appointed for that purpose and conveyed in @ luxurious carriage—which was strikingly 1m con- ‘trast with the “one horse shay’? used at Ware yea- terday—to the Fitchburg Hotel, where he nad sup- per, &c. and where he was serenaded by the cornet band with much enthusiasm, The crowd bogan to assemble in the hall as early as seven o'clock, although the hour for the speech was a quarter to eight, and in Mfteen or twenty minutes nearly every seat was occupied by the sturdy yeomanry of Wor- cester county, who were really anxious to hear what. the gubernatorial candidate would have to say, and rushed im pell mell immediately the doore were opened. Probably SIXTEEN HUNDRED PEOPLE were present before the General camo in, with a sprinkling of ladtes, and as a quarter of eight o’clock arrived and passed and the chief object of all this commotion failed to appear, the rising impatience Manifested itseif in the customary undignified cries, cat calls, yells, cheers and ‘‘one, two, three,” which are too familiar to the reader for repetition to be re- quired in this connection. For a time yells were almost deafening, and only subsided five minutes later as the General entered the hall and the band struck up “Hatl Columbia.” General Butler was In fact, I believe that fr onght to be sans tained, but 1 don’t believe that the abuses that have grown up under its long continaaance in power is a good way to sustain it. 1 believe that 16 should be corrected, The General next repeated his vious remarks about the Presidential election, formers, ‘They had the same vituneration aud btl- lingsyate over Phillips that they are having over me; the same sor of assanits that Warren- ton and the Springfield Repuriicen are making on me. Just so they attacked Mr. Phillips and drove him ont of the republican party. It was for this reason that our majority was diminished, and if we jet this state of things exist very much jonger in this commonwealth just so sure you will fund @ swali majority, if not a defeat, of the repuviican party, this year, and that affects your next Presidential election.

The General re- jated the Bridget 071 ory narrative again, and repeated his assertion that he NEVER DID A MEAN THING IN HT LIFR to his knowledge. This was the occasion lor a per fect storm of the elements.
