 2 Tuesday last was the day for the Legislature of New-YOrk to convene at Albany. There being a whg majority in the lower branch, we may look for some important movements. The first act of conse- quence it is supposed will be to repeal the small l law-hus allowing their own Banks supply the cir cula.ing medium, and driving home the thousands of little bills from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, &c., We trust that this will be followed also by the next Connecticut legislature Itis folly the suffer all sorts of small bills from other states to circulate, and yet prohibit own Banks from is suing them. But it is among others of the beaut full fruits of our Van Buren legislation.
 Fertile! Terrible! bLe!-Last week couple fgentlemen from Hartford visited our village on their way to the western part of the county. They were no other than Joseph Pratt, Esq. and Gen. Wm Hay den of in Hartford is denominated the conscrva- tive party. Immediately the shout raised by the trembling otice-hoders they political mssiona- res! they tour to stir up the conservatives
 of the wrongs they have received at the hands of the Hartford Regency!" and hence should not be oAO"CA HC pun PlAEHcS0 Ol AOSOuAotoH edy! A grand council of the loco-focos was convok ed, and it forthwith decided that the Hartford Times must be made acquainted with the circumstan- ces. What! Jo. Pratt and Gen. Hayden allowed to perambulate the streets & highways of Litchfeld CO.,. the idea is nsufferable So letters missive were im- medately despatched to Hartford; and so Uery inn portant was the movement deemed-so very nervous have the office.hoders become-that the Times stops its press and under the imposing caption of 0rPosT- scR1pre heralds to the world the letters from Ltch field, announcing that Messrs Pratt and Hayden were here on business which would tend to the overthrow of the party. Wonder if the little Van Buren puppets throughout the state, obeying orders, will not repub fish the Times "important news9"

 6FOne of the Uery important letters from Litchfield published in the Times says-"A consultation was held by them (I1ayden and PratD with Truman Smith," Oh horrible horrble So they were in consultation" Gas we learn for we did not see hem) with Seth P. Beers, with the Judges of the County Court then in session, with the sheriff and his 18th de- putty, and with various other inauental gentlemen of the Van Buren party. But they "held consultation with Truman Smith," Aye, there's the rub hence there must be treason in the camp of democracy !- hence they must be denounced as political pilgrims O what terror does the name of Truman Smith carry to the mind of Hartford tory! The truth is, those gentlemen went into the Court House, and there, a. mong others, MT. Smith saw them, and having pre- ! vious acquaintance with them ventured to enter into conversation with them. Aud if there is any thing wrong in good Jefersonian democrat holding con. versation with modern whig-they being nearly sy. 1 anonymous terms-then was MT. Pratt guilty of com. mitting error. Does the Pope think he can so far control the consclences ot men to prevent V. B. man who ever has opinion of his own from holding conversation with whg7
 | NetU- York Mirror.-It is some months since we have called the attention of our readers to this work Not because we have not appreciated it's value, but because, principally, we are opposed to the system oi pu6ery which has so extensively prevailed for few l ySdIS pdSt' MiIIoI uH JTeHd; we nave La- ken it in some form other almost from it's establish ment; and have always looked with pleasure over its well printed leaves. Indeed it's beautiful topography no less than its fine wood cuts and splendid steel en- cravings have tended very materially to give it it's present celebrity. The last number is ornamented with an engraved miniature likeness of Washington Irving. It is fine picture-we have never seen the orignal-but to our conception it makes him appear altogether young, unless it is intended for him he was ten or fifteen years ago. We should be glad to furnish the editors of the Mirror with number o subscribers. but our upcountry folks think the price ($5 year for weekly paper) an almost insurmount able objectionable music in which, however to those who learning we should imagine would cost nearly that amount.
 Im,portant Decision.-A case came before the Sara toga N. Y. Court few days since which produced considerable feeling there It an action of Mine S. Lincoln, of Boston, against the Saratoga and Sche nectady Rail Road Company for damages sustained by him in 1886 by being thrown from, rather jump ing from rail road car just as it came in collision with another, by which he had leg broken and wal otherwise injured.
