It wa nmnosed to borrow the money.and thereby crc- State debt, but to raise it on assignment or sale, to individuals, of the surplus Canal revenues which, bv the Constitution, were specially ap propriated to the completion of the works named A larc-e amount of money, the most of which it and will be, entirely unproductive until the Canali are finished, has already been expended, and the tle object the friends of the bill had in view, was to ifi ve the public the benefit of works whose spue dv completion all concede to be desirable, and re lieve the public at the same time fron the burden taxation consequent upon large unproductive Th.

The new fashion for la dies dresses is lieing introduced into our city, says the Sy racuse Standard of Tuesday. Several ladies appeared in the streets yesterday wiih dresses of a very laconic pattern. and pauttuooliB a-la-Turk. The new style looks decidedly tidy and neat, and imparts to the wearer quite a sprightly and youthful appearance. Syracuse is a great town for all kinds of foolish and odd freaks to hike root in.

We do nut know of a place where the people are so readily hum bugged by everything that comes along as this same "aalt city." Abolitionism, Fourier, Rochester rappings, mid everything of this kind appears to flourish there as in con genial soil. No wonder, therefore, that tho Indies should become affected with tbe prevailing mania, and that they should adopt something to make themselves as ridiculous as the Lords of creation." Attica and Hohvellsvili Raileoad. By a law passed at Ihe last session of the Legislature, the Atticn and Morni llsville Railroad Compsny are authorised to extend their road from Attica to Buffalo, to increase their capital stock to and to adopt a new cor porate name. Tte Directors have adopted the name of "Tbe luffalo aDd New Vork City Railroad Company," and are now prepared to receive subscriptions for Uu- new stock. i ne wora on tins road is proceemng with great vigor.

There are now at work on the line from Attica to Hornells- viUe upwards of one thousand men. The iron for the rails has been contracted for in England, to be delivered at New York by the last of September next, and it is hoped that the cars will be running in January next. It is diffl- ult adequately to estimate the benefit which the travel ling public as well as the citizens of this city, are to derive from the railroad facilities which the opening of a new and complete railroad line from Buffalo through the south ern tier of counties to New Vork will create. Westminster College. The Bill for the incorporation of this institution has passed both houses of the Legislature and become a law.

It is iu the usual form of charters of Colleges, and It is provided that unless it goes iuto operation within three years, the charter ex pires. Westminister College is to be a Presbyterian insti tution on the Old School basis, and is a part of the gener al system of education adopted by that body. The Trus tees named in the charter are residents of this city, of Rochester, and a few in other counties in Western Now Vork. It Is proposed to lake immediate measures to se cure an endowment for the College, aud no difficulty is anticipated in putting it upon a permanent foundation be fore the time named in the charter. It will occupy the only vacunt ffeld in the State, aud will be in the midst of quite a luree sectiou of country, in this and other states, where there is no institution of tho kind.

I acree with the editor of the Prompter's Whistle, that theatres by a judicious management, mial bo mad school for morals and virtue. That they are not is as certain as that the sun shines.

The reputation of these once I am bound to think harmless, and, perhaps, val uable places of recreation and ititellealual amusement is at such low ebb, and theprejudicesof th- and better among ut is si) deep-seated and so vital, that I mueh doubt the existence of a power, much leaa a will, that shall over come them. Without Ihe support and countenance of such people It were the wildest folly to suppose that a moral theatre would meet with ought but disaster. The attempt bat been made to establish such an one, but It was ieered at by professed play-goers and never visited by any others. Yet we can hardly imagine a fair and suffi cient reason for the degraded character of our theatres, when we reflect that, as a nation, our claims lo virtue surpass those of any other civilized nation on the globe, There are a variety of causes which tend to bring about such a result, but no stngle one, perhaps, which may fair ly be entitled, disconnectedly, to consideration. Let me touch upon some of them, tbe principal one of which is.

perchance, the illiterate character of many managers. whose only cares are how to txpnnd the dimensions of the pocket. A good Idea of this may be had and at the same time tbe fawning of a portion of the press by the following beautiful specimen of epistolary correspondence between a manager of a New York theatre snd an editor of a New Yorlt paper Sir I send you free ad nils to my theatre to prase my actors, you no 'prase my actors you shall not have free admis any more. A brilliant genius to cater for tht intellectual wants of an enlightened people. That la by no means a solitary instance.

The very founder of the American stage was an Irishman, named Moony, whose early profession was tbavlng and hair dressing. He was successful In hit enterprise, novel as It muti have been to him, and to hav many others, much more ignorant lhan he, been equally successful sine his time. Tbe only aim of that class of er the pursuance of an occupation whi-h TZ'ZT caaraebfw- i Hon natury lead them Into, and whe 7JZZ check, become in the dram.Ucc finnlment. The uieaire is widely defuned Besides the floating support which it receives, It i3 calculated that no less than fifty thousand persons are thus entertain-.) weekly in thedty of New Vork alone, and throughout the country there are fewer than two hundred thousand whose staple amusement is theatrical representation. But they do not all go merely to see ihe play.

There are oth performances to be soen there which demand the so- rious attention of parents, the contemplation or which is indeed frightful. till I am of opinion that Ihe theatre might become a school of morals and virtue. This posi tion can be fortified snd sustained by argument, bat fails sadly when we turn to precedent. I may, and probably shall, say more upon this subject si some other time, but enough has been Inflicted for the present. Mason." jgp" Weaving in Wibk.

Strange as the idea may eeem, it is no less strange than true, lhat iron, of a thickness that would make it appear impossible that it could be quirked by any other agency than the forge, Ihe anvil, aud me hammer Is now, bv tho aid of new and powerful machinery, woven Into the most beautiful patterns, and the designs varied with almost the same facility as 1b the weaving of a carpet, or a table cover. The specimens that we have seen, excel in beauty and Dnish any iron railing that we have ever seen, and do nol cost more lhan half the ordinary cost of even cast iron railing. Many of the firel class counting-houses and offices in New ork are now fitted up with this railing, in preference to any oiher heretofore or at present in use. The uses of the invention however, nra not ronflnad to railings, as the most tasteful verandahs, window gratings. garden fences, are made by it.

The coul miners of rennsyivania preier il above all other modes for their screens. Charleston and New Orleans each have parks enclosed with It, and many of the rice southerners have their flower conservatories enclosed hi the same manner. i iiici, wnarever it lias been Introduced, It has come into anuoji uuuir.Hea lavor.

The band took the war paih in single file, and moved with such rapidity that it was but fire day's journey to the country of the Cberokees, upon the southern banks of the Tennessee. League of the Iroquois, page 3-111. A few days ago we chroniokd a joke founded upon the above statement. This has led the Buf falo Commercial to question the accuracy of Mr. Morgan, and to express more than doubt whether the journey could be accomplished in the time indicated.

The distance from the ancient Seneca villages on the Genesee to the Cherokee country is about four hundred miles. If the editor of the Commercial will cast his eve upon Mr. Gallitin's map, exhibiting the territory occupied by the several North American tribes, published in the transactions of the Ethnological Society, he will see that it is easy to find points' in the territory of the Cherokees and that of the Iroquois, which are not more than half that distance from each other. But there is 110 necessity for resorting to any such construction of Mr. Morgan's language.

The question is, did Indian war parties, which traveled with the greatest expedition, unencumbered with baggage and carrying only the light arms of savage warfare, travel at tho rate of eighty miles or over per day Of the extraordinary celerity with which intelligence was transmitted by Indian run ners there are abundant records. Prescott's History informs us that on the invasion of Mexico Montezuma was kept informed af the movements of Cortex by runners, who transmitted a message at the rate of two hundred miles a day. This, doubtless, was done by relays, and the day probably includes the whole twenty-four hours. But there are well authenticated instances within modern recollection which corroborate the statements of the Senecas for it is tho veracity of the Nation, not of Mr. Morgan, that is in question.

Thus it is known that during the war of 1813 a runner left Tonawanda in the morning, went to Avon, a distance of forty miles, and returned to Tonawanda by noon. Assuming that he started aa early as three o'clock in the morning, her per- formed a journey, of eighty miles in nine hours This speed is more than sufficient to have carried the Senecas from their villages to those of the Cherokees in five days, and it is the distinction of the Indian runners that they are capable of maintaining the same speed throughout the day as in an hour. Previous to the last war, and to Harrison's defeat of the Indians at Tippecanoe, the Indians of this State were in correspondence with their brethren at the West. It is within the knowledge of living witnesses, among whom we may mention Geo. Hosmer, of Avon, that the Senecas had knowledge of the important incidents on the North Western frontier, such as the full of Mackinac, and the affair at Brownstown some days earlier than it came to the whites at Avon.

Their runners carried the intelligence swifter than the expresses of the Government. A war party moved with all the celerity in its power. To strike a blow before their "enemy could bo forewarned, and retire before he could avenge it, was the precise aim of a savage expedition. Wo see no reason to doubt that the Seneca tradition in relation to the time occupied in an incursion upon the Cherokees, is entitled to oredit. Much might be said as their sagacity in selecting the most direct route, tc, but for all this we refer the enquirer to Mr.

Morgan's book. AW, hem. The Next Cuba Hint." We learn from Washington, that intelligence has reached thereof a more definite and authentic character than the outgivings in the newspapers, relative to the projected expedition against Cuba, which is suspected to be once more afloat. The National Intelligencer, in the confidence of the Government, alludes to the reports in question, as "painful" in their character. As General Taylor acted in the Lopez foray, so will Millard Fillmore act, promptly and efficiently, whenever it shall appear that our treaties with Spain are in danger of infraction, from the mad pranks these adventurers.

The Intelligencer, in noticing the deDarture of men from Atalanta, with arms, supposed to be destined for Cuba, says: If eilher privat or public information is to be relied pon, another scheme of unlawful violence is ii riirrrt. dojrailist the terrlluiT Vve have letters from the interior of Georgia, stating the departure of a number of persons for the tulf Cout, in tending 10 meet and organize Komewnere on tne coast, in the neighborhood of Apalachicola, We have from another point In the same vicinity, tne subjoined more distinct statement of ihe fact of the de parture of a couslderable body 01 men Irora thai point in the name direction. cannot doubt but that the authorities of the lT. civil and naval, will be on ihe lookout to prevent or de feat this new attempt lo dishonor this republic in its own estimation, an1 in the opinion ot the civilized world A telegraphic despatch from Washington ir. the Philadelphia Bulletin ot yesterday says Letters have been received to-day.

announcing that preparations are going on at various points in the South for anuther invasion of Cuba, with a view to wresting It from Spanish rule. There can be no doubt in the truih of the reports, asihey came from various reliable sources. Tbe President has had his attention called to tbe mat-tor, and will doubtless do all in his power to provent our citizens from joining in any such expedition against a rrmndiy power. The Captain General of Cuba seems to be fal Iv prepared tor any expedition. At the last ac counts he had made the most effective disposition of his land and' naval forces about the island.

The American naval force in the West Indies will also interfere to prevent tiny lauding of Americans with hostile intentions, under the instructions is sued by Gen. Taylor's administration at the time time of the Lopez invasion The invaders are reported to have a large force enrolled in the Southern States and Texas, with artillery and other munitions. They have also received funds, it is said, to a considerable amount from Cubans, anxious for a revolution in the Is land. The bare probability of a conquest of Cuba, by persons from the United States, and what course would Iollowr as a natural consequence, its "re-annexation (that is the word) to the do minion of this Republic, involves considerations aud consequences too serious for contemplation at this time. All that we hope lor is, ttiat the Rob bers who are entering into the Apilachicola expo dition, may meet with no better success than fell to the fortune of the ragamuffins ot Hound Jsland A Jiiprest.

Hie New Orleans Delta tells a strange story of a suicide recently committed in that city. give an abstract of the Delta's story of the oc currence Charles Roussel, a poor French tailor, being de pressed in fortune aud spirits, in tn hearing of his wife the idea of suicide, as a last resource against the ills of a hard existence. This idea fell like a spark upon the susceptible and in flammable character of his Parisian wife. She pronounced it a heroic thought, and declared she would share his fate that as they had long strug sled together in life, so they would pass iuto the other world hand in hand. "Fortunately," she added, "the moans of carrying out their nobl purpose was couveniently at hand.

She had quantity of arsenic which she had bought to poison rats they could divide it off into two equal quantities, and drink it off together. 1 be rencb man accepted the proposition, and they were soon seated at the table, with a tumbler before each A pause of some minutes during which they seemed to be making up their lost accounts with this world. At last the wife spoke My dear, you do not drink you are not afraid "Afraid!" exclaimed the heroic tailor, "a Frenchman afraid and then seizing the glass, he drank every drop of it The wife eyed him closely, and when she saw that he hail swallowed the fatal dose, her heart relented against the cruel world new views seemed to spring up before her, and her mind resumed the balance from which it bad been disturbed by the suggestion of suicide. Under the impulse of these new feelings, the heroine arose from the table and threw the contents of her tumbler into tbe fire-place. The Frenchman closely observed the movement of bis better half, and it flashed upon his mind that he had been a victim to the wiles of a second Lucretia Borgia.

He upbraided her in the severest terms, and called in several of the neighbors, to whom he related tho facts as detailed. The poison soon performed its mission, and the poor Frenceman was a corpse. The coroner immediately issued his warrant for the arrest of Mrs Roussel, on a charge of being accessory to tbe husband's suicide. This proceeding brings up the inquiry whether uicul is a crime. Unless it be, there can be no accessories, and tha warrant of the coroner ha no foundation.

From the Detroit Daily Advertiser, of ihe ICtli. t.mrta .1,,. 4b uci-uiuwa uui 1IAIII1U1. uui nut uiuooked tor duty, to announce the death of Gen. IIl uh Buaov Brevet ilaior General of the United States Armv commanding the Division, the head quarters Jl which are city.

He died yesterday at his residence, on Jefferson Avenue, "at 10 o'clock A M. His death was tho result of an accident oc casioned by the fright and running away of his horses, which he Vas himself driving, which took place on Miami Avenue, in citv, on Thursday the 10th inst. at 1 o'clock P. M. His horses, which were spirited and hieh met- tied, became frightened by coming in contact with th beieginuu wiic DLicteiieii across tile Street DV iOys 1 1 IVM I 1 till 13 V- rady out of tbe buggy against a gate pos Gen.

with such force as to fracture his skull. Whei taken up he was sensible aud gave directions for his removal into the the house of a friend near bv. where he lay until about four o'clock, when it was thought advisable to convey him to his home. which was clone upon a litter, by four U. S.

sol diers from the Barracks, under the direction of his son S. P. Brady, his physicians, and his im mediate mends. During this time, and, indeed, up to the time of bis death, his senses did not leave him but he continued able to call for such thinirs as he wished, and to give directions for his own com fort He, however, continued gradually to sink. day by day, with occasional turns ol famtnessand vomiting.

From the time of his injury, little hope has been entertained 01 nis ultimate recovery. n-l 1- 1 1 tne injury 10 nia ioreueaa ana BKull was too ex tensivo and serious, taken 111 connection with his advanced age, to render such hope plausible Hi death-bed was surrounded by his children S. Brady, Mrs. Backus, wife of Major 01 the 6th Infantry, now- in Texas and Mrs. With erefl, of this citv.

Gen. Brady was born in July, 17U8, and was of course nearly 83 years of age. He entered the service of the United States, and received his first commission, as. Ensign, under the hand of Gen. VY ashington, which commission was hanging his parlor at the time of his doath.

He served with Wayne in hi? renowned Indian campaign, which wrested Ohio and Kentucky irom tne savages-, alter the defeat of Gen. St. Clair; after which he retired from active service for a time, and returned to it again in 1808, when he received a commission from Mr. Jefferson. He distinguished himself at Luudy's Ijtne in tin war of 1812; and was in active service through mat war, curing which he received the Commis sion of Colonel of the 00d'Reeimeiii of Infmtrv Upon the reduction of the army in 1819, Genvral Brady was appointed to the command of the 2d I Infantry.

In the year 1825, Gen. Brady was appointed to the command of this Military Department, and was stationed at Detroit where he has ever since resided. The private life of Gen. Brady has been "un spotted from the world" aud free from reproach, as his career as a soldier has been eminent for bravery, assiduity and faithfulness. He has constantly cultivated the social and moral virtues which render home attractive, and which throw around all within their influence an atmosphere of happiness and enjoyment.

He has borne prosperity with meekness, he has surfer ed affliction with patience, and ha has met duty with alacrity and cheerfulness. The old respected citizens of Detroit will bear witness to his manly virtues, his pure life, and his upright character. A life of rigid temperance and systematic activity had given hardness to his frame, and elasticity to his step which continued to the day of his death. Less than two hours before the fatal accident occurred, the writer of this notice was accosted by him, upon Jefferson Avenue, and informed of the death of Gen. Brooke.

I have received," said Gen. Brady, "from Major Backus, a paper giving an account of the death and funeral of my old friend, Brooke, and I wish you to publih it." A compliance, of course, was indicated when the General stepped into his carriage, which he left in the melancholy manner above related. Until "it shall be morn in the grave," rest the ashes of the patriot, the soldier, the pure and upright man I W. L. Chaplin, better known as the "abductor of two slaves, 'the property of Congressmen Toombs and Stephens," passed throngh this city several days sinae, on his way west.

Hia immediate destination is the State of Ohio; on the "Reserve "of which, we understand, he is to hold a series of anti-slavery meetings, rith the object of presenting his case to the people, and of receiving contributions for the relief of his bondsmen. It is, perhaps, not generally known that several of his personal friends devoted their entire means in his behalf, and by their forfeitare of his bail, are left penniless. It is to indemnify them that series of Chaplin meetings have been held in this State and Massachusetts, and that like meetings are to be held in Ohio, and perhaps some of the neighboring States. It was a question with Chaplin and his friends, whether he would be safe in Ohio, in the event of a requisi tion from the Governor of Maryland. They doubt the "soundness" of Got.

Wood, but think that Chaplin will be beyond the reach of harm on the Reserve." Syr. Jour. Has bob Inspictor. N. W.

Mr. Babcock moved a recess to 12. Mr. Cross moved 1 1. Lost.

Mr. Babcocks motion being the question, Mr. Dimmick hoped it would be granted. We were placed in a peculiar position one unDrece- dented in our political annals. He trusted the recess of two hours would be allowed for the responsible majority to decide what action should toe taken 111 this crisis.

Carried. Recess to 12 o'clock. 12 o'clock M. Tho Senate reassembled at 12 o'clock, and on calling tho roll twenty Senators answered to their names. The Canal Bill was taken up.

Mr. Carroll, of Renssaelaer. then offered a reso lution that the Canal Bill be postponed until after all three-fifth bills had been acted upon. He spoke in approving terms of the course of the twelve Senators who had resigned, and stated that he was willing to afford the majority an opportunity to pass the appropriations and supply bills. farther than this he was unwilliuir to no.

Mr. Babcock followed in a speech of some ength, characterizing the action of tho Senators who had resignod as revolutionary and suicidal in is Dennng. iiis remarks were bitter in their ap plication and to the point. -Mr. Babcock said.

We are placed in peculiar and extraordinary circumstances circumstances I which never before occurred. The strange course pursued here was never before witnessed in the State, or in the United States. We have before is a high-handed attempt of the minority to control the action of the majority of this legislative body. it is conceded and admitted by some ot those who have this morning taken the step which I coul not believe they would have taken, that this an appeal to "higher law" to "revolution." The Senator from the 25th (Mr. vester lay foreshadowed it, and last evening; the Senator from the 10th (Mr.

Mann) did the same. But I was not prepared to credit, that bo flagitious a proceeding would be enacted. What is its character? It ha9 not the excuse of beinir the only step which could be taken to prevent a violation of tho Constitution. If such a violation was con tained in the bill. If the bill is unconstitutional, there is another tribunal to judge of that defect and decide that question, aside from this Senate.

Hence that obiection must fall; for of all created beings, capitalists are most peculiarly careful and discreet. And not a dollar would be invested bv them until, if the point was mooted, they had satisfied themselves perfectly by the opinions of all the legal talent in the State. They would never begin the work until it was decided "past a doubt that it was constitutional. But aiain. The whole question is onen to the legal tribunals of the land.

And there is no excuse no apology, for any nction such as the extraordinary course that had been pursued. For if it is unconstitutional, if it is illegal, it can be remedied in a legitimate and legal manner. Now the question for the responsible majority to answer is tins, snail we bedetered from performing our duty by the threats of the minority Shall we be ktered from doing; our duty because others have failed to do theirs i This is a Question for each one to decide for himself. My course is perfectly-clear. If we were tt yield to their threats we should put ourselves in 110 enviable position.

1 his is an appeal to the "higher law." And is long as the courts are open for redress and rem edy, an appeal to higher law is revolution. It is blocking tho wheels of legislation. And shall we when a bill which was fully discussed in the Assembly and passed by a large vote, and which had been before us three weeks, comes up in its usual fiVUffiyrioAirvax.4'i- so, the same thing can be done with any bill that comes ip. are here with a bare quorum; and the Senator from the 12th (Mr. Carroll) says if we do not abandon our position and yield to his commands and injunctions, he shall leave the results to follow as they may.

Shall we yield to his threats Never. Mr. Carroll said that the responsibility must rest with the majority. The Senator from the 31st (Mr. had himssilf moved it forward out of its usual course, ahead of other bills, and if those bills fail, it is his own fault.

Mr. Brandreth replied to him and assented to the concessions of Carroll. He was perfectly willing to remain in his seat provided the resolution should pass, otherwise he would resign. Mr. Crook followed in nearly the same strain, although not declaring his intention to vacate his seat.

Further remarks were made by Messrs. Schoon maker, Johnson and Uook, aud Mr. Carroll was proceeding to reply when the hour for recess until i clock, arrived. 4 o'clock, P. M.

The Senate reassembled at 4 o'clock, when Mr. Carroll resumed his remarks, and warned the ma- onty not to urge the bill to a passage or to de feat the resolution of postponement, as the wheels of legislation would be arrested. He spoke for three quarters of an hour and was followed by Senator Owen who advocated the defeat of the resolution and immediate action upon the bill. lie assorted its constitutionliy and that the Senate could not pass the resolution without casting a blush upon their past conduct. Ihe Senator pro ceeded at length to review the remarks of Senator Carroll.

When he concluded the vote was taken on the resolution of Mr. Carroll, and it was lost. Aves 5, naves 15. Mr. Crook moved to recommit for amendment.

Debated bv Senators Cook and Brandreth, and negatived. The bill was then read a third time and the vote stood as follows Aves 17 nays 2, Mr. Car roll not being present, having left the chamber. Mr. Babcock then rose in his place and having stated that it being evident from the frequent at tempts which had been made to pass bills re quiring a constitutional quorum, that no business could be transacted, he offered the following pre amble and resolutions: Whereas, By the resignation of twelve members of the Senate a large portion ol the electors of this Mtute are unrepresented, and that this branch of the Leffislature and their views and interests in rt ference to more important acts which are now pending, or may be presented cannot be expressod, and 'legislation under such circumstances would lie a violation of the first principles of republican government Whereas, The number of Senator Is so reduced by the said by absence, that it has been found after repeated norts that the quorum required by the con stitution to be present at the passage of the bills essential to Ihe continuance of the government cannot be obtained In order, therefore, to afford an importunity for a full re- RrsolveL, If the Assembly concur) That his excellency the Governor, be requested to convene tho Legislature in extra session, at such lime and place as he may deem ex pedienl for the interosUof the Htate.

RrolreA, If the Assembly concur) That this Legisla ture do now sojourn, ir itie. Tbe resolutions were passed by a vote of 1 8 to 1, and ordered to be presented to the Assembly lor concurrence. After the passage of a vote of thanks to the Lieutenant Governor, and the transaction of usual closing business, the Senate adjourned, sine die. Thursday, April 17. THIBD READING.

1 The resignation and retirement of the thirteen democratic Senators, and the consequent breaking up bf is as much a revolutionary act as if tfie proceedings of the Legislature had been rudely interrupted, and its membeis expelled from their places by force of armed men but it is a more cowardly moJe of producing that result. It is the treasonable act of men bold only in lactious purpose. Courageous, honest men, elected as Senators, and sworn to the performance of their duties, would resist to the last, and with all their power, what they conscientiously believed to be wrong; but would never like the thirteen recreants basely flee when they could not conquer. Deeply and injuriously as their act has affected the most important interests of the State, it is not to be reprobated on that account alone. New Vork is the first State in the confederacy, and by ita vast population, its enterprise, wealth, intelligence, and widely extended commercial relations, exerts a wide and almost controlling influence.

Here more than any where should the least approach to revolutionary or disorganizing measures be most emphatically rebuked. If a minority can with impunity break up the Legislature by resignation, on the introduction of measures respecting which there are differences of opinion, all the fofe-guardsof constitutional representative government are at once and effectually broken down. Faction, soon degenerating into anarchy, will take the place of order and htw. But we have no fears of such a result We have a strong and abiding faith that the good sense and patriotism of the people will correct the temporary evii we now suffer, and administer such a rebuke to those who have wrought the mischief, as will effectually prevent a repetition of the offence. New elections in the Senatorial districts iiii be pmmptly ordered, an extra session will be called at an early day, and the legislative business left unfinished will be perfected.

But it is a sad sign of the times that all this should be necessary. Two years ago such a state of things as we now witness, would have been thought impossible. It would have been impossible in fact, for at that time the public mind had not been debauched by the mischievous doctrines of a "higher law" and the superiority of private judgment to constitutional obligation, of which we have heard so much of Jate. The treasonable attempt at revolution in our Legislature is but another phaso of those doctrines, and has been perpetrated by those who are tiie aanecial champions and apostles of the neJ gxMpel.

The Buffalo Exjrets and other pa peis of that peculiar stanp, are copying an extract from a recent speech of Hon. Jomitu L. Wnvn, and exulting oyer it as a capital hit upon what the are pleased to term the "cotton party." Considering the course which Mr. Wbitk has pur sued for the past few years and the large claims which these journals set up as the exclusive and earnest friends of the lamented Try lor and his "plan," the whole thing is exceeding rich. Mr.

W. was an active artizan in rearing that somewhat celebrated structure, denominated the Buffalo Platform. On that occasion he made a speech, and from it we make the following extract, whicli we will denominate JOSEPH L.

and for nearly half a century has ranked among the first journalists of tbe country in point of abili ty and influence. We wish him all happiness in bia retirement Addressing his editorial brethren he says Too hare a nrofsssion, (rentlemen, of the highest im portance to our country. In fact, I do not see bow a great republic can be supported without an immediate organ, which shall make known tbe sets of their agents to the people, or the opinions of the people to tbelr agents. But la a thousand ways tbe press is of inestimable importance to the people. It should, of course, be profession of hiffh honor to thoae who officiate at Its fountain.
