Politics and Public Service
Albany Regency
The Van Buren Machine

Thurlow Weed

The Albany Regency was a disparaging description used by Thurlow Weed to describe the Democratic political machine created in New York state by Martin Van Buren in the 1820s. Active on both the state and national levels, the Regency was extremely effective in maintaining party discipline, manipulating people through a shrewd use of patronage. The Regency continued to operate while Van Buren was out of the state serving in the Senate. Eventually this faction split into groups known as the “Barnburners” and the “Hunkers."
