Mr. LasaS, one of the thirteen from your city, took
the hoor at half past 5-Mr. Wheaton, the member
from Albany, having occupied the attention of the
House between four and five hours. Mr. w. is In
comparaby the best speaker in the House, and he
was listened TO with great interest.
Mr.. Lassk speaks in broken lingo, that is very
difficult 10 be understood, and his notions and views
are still more difficult of comprehension. He 10 a
man of excellent ceilings, and very good sense, but
his imperfect acquaintance with the language rem.

a ludcrous effect.

ton, whether Col. Young or the President of the
Senate is deserving OF censure. l have given YOU
all the preliminary facts In the case. On the nomi

solution OF censure, which was laid on tho table -
iere II would have been permitted to sleep but il

exonerate the Pr sident, and reflect on Col. Young
Twodays have already been consumed in be d. bate
and the end Is not yet. Col. Young is undC ubedly
wrong. That has been clearly shown in the debate
And am inclined to LINK that the President was ass
IN the wrong. W hen Col Young appealed from the
decision of the chair, The President refused 10 en-
terrain the appeal, and herein the mistake consisted
Col. Young's object undoubtedly was. to embarrass
the action OF the Senate, and if possible, defeat the

claimed ssch de-ign, but he frequently makes
