This city is literally throngpd with yisi

Our advices from Albany, per steam boat,
are dated on Monday morning and we have
great pleasure in assuring our readers, that
there is not the least prospect Of the Lpgisla-
ture being dragooned into pnssive obedience
and non-resistance." They will, probably adj.
journ this day, without making any alteration
IN the Electoral Law. The Democracy Of
the State is aroused and since the adjourn
ment ofthe Legislature, and the members com
minglins with the people, The pitiful attempt
to distract the republican party, is viewed
with contempt and disgust by its real friends
and supporters, which they seem determined
that the nation shall understand, by promp;
expression of their opinion on the late ertraor

the adjournment of the Legislature, we pre-
sumo it will be admitted that Mr. Crawford is

They are a coordinate branch Of executive
power. Any other" cabinet" than this is I'M
known TO the constitution. The secretary OF
state is as puch an ofiicer or servant of the
executive as is the secretary Of the scQate an
officer or servant ofthat bndy.
Has tbs secretsry Of state demanded the
name OF a senator. that he may be subject to
his mquistortsl tribunals Does he already be-
gin TO :" put on airs 2" We well remember
that President Adams had many conflicts with
the senate. 1t is said that he has been often
heard to say, that the constitution ought TO be
so amended as TO take all executive power
from that body, and it is not impossible that
his son may have imbibed the same sen,-
ments. But he is beginning, we apprehend,
rather too soon. Yet il Indicates something
" Ii these things are seen in the green tree,
what are we 10 expect in the dry! z" If the Sc
cretary of state, merely candidate for the
presidency, (Of prospects not the most nstter
iug,) is ready to wreak his vengeance on the
senate for resisting his mandate, questioning
his infalIibility, and refusing 20 change as Oft
en- as he does, what is to be expected in case
he should become president Of the United
States In future number we shall recite
the summary which has given so much Of
fence to the secretary. 1t will then be seen
whether the object Of the demand was 10 ST.
ience and gag, or whether il was for the pro-
motion of the public interest.

THE EXTRAORDINARY SESSION

The Legislature met yesterday Nant 10
the F." extraordinary" proclamation of the Co
vernon. We cannot expect the receipt fhis
Message before tomorrow morning, nor eau
we anticipate what he has to say in exteaus-
| ton of an open and direct violation Of the
constitution. But we think we can anticipate
| what course the Legislature will take. THEY
Win probably make short, temperate and
dignitied report, concluding with resolution
to adjourn Immediately. The leaders of the
opposition will make the same speeches they
have already made halfdozen times over,
without any alteration save perhaps new
collars and risbands." We wish somebody
would administer little consolation 10 the row
al American. II entirely despars Of any allie
ration In the electoral law, and AFFECTS tn be-
lieve thatby conjunction or coalition In the
Legislature Of the friends uf Mr. CLAW and Mr..
Adams, the latter would certainly receive the
votes Of the state. We can inform the royal
| American. that the friends of Mr.. CLAW In this
State would be the last persons In take up Mr.
Adams. Ii Mr.. Clay had gone into caucus
with his friends and had been nominated, he
would have reccs ed the votes of this state. but
asitis the votes ofihis state will assuredly he
given TO MIR. Crawford. We again repeat,
Mr.. Clay's friends in The Legislature will so,
vote for Mr.. Adams, hut even If they should,
Mr.. Crawford would then have full two thirds
OF both houses with him. We are sorry 20 an
tlcipate the opinion Of that intelligent and res.
peciably body but we feel in measure bound
to do so least The royal American shoald lead
astray The people out of the state. This mus,
