Of the Constitution with asuTerabe audacisy he

his despotic mandates. But even this does nor

with usurping the Legislative powers vested In
Congress, and thus with making well as *,

Gus assumption in ful6lment Of The pledges OF
General Harrison
v. In his letter to Hartman Denny, as we'll
often elsewhere, Gen. Harrison declared himself
in favor of Distribution among the States Of the
proceeds of the Public Lands, as proposed by the
bill of Mr.. Clay. John Tyler not only refuses to
assent to this but declares that he will never allow
Congress to provide revenue for the Country until
they repeal the act sanctiening the Distribution,
which he signed and thus allowed to became a law.
These are SEINE of the principles and measures
to which Gen. Harrisoa was pledged and which,
the resolution we have quoted above asserts, John
TYLER has shown a willingness to carry out. There
is no: a man in the Union who does not know that
this assertion is false: that John Tyler has repudi-
ated all the principles he protested in 1910 and on
the strength of whick he was elevated to power;
that he has condemned the wishes and tranpled
upon the interests OF the People; that ne has yio-
lated the first principles of Republican Govern
ment and laid the foundation for tyranny, as
crashing and oppressive as any on the face OF the
Earth. The particular acts he has vetoed and
the Acknowledgements he has crushed important as
these are and ruiuous as has been his policy in
these respects, do not measure the Importance OF
his daring usurpation. He has aimed deadly
blow at the very principles of self.government and
taken step, which if not promptly and efficiently
rebuked by the People, must make the President
of our Republic more powerful and autocratic than
any Monarch in Europe. If the People do not
clearly see the tendency of his course, awake to

resolution inssructing the Comptroller to bid in

We are sure of the thousands who indulge in
the practice of smoking in our public streets could
be induced to give one thought to the annoyance
they are giving to others, they would abandon the

aresure the young gentlemen who choose thronged
streets for smoking not aware of the dlscom-
fort they occasion to others; if they were they
would reform it altogether! The simple fact thai,
they keep the best of the better part of creation
from walking, annoy them so asoninably,

The Apportionment a. Last.


ALBANY, Friday, Aug. 49,
We have had warm day in the Legislature.
In Senate this morning Gen. RooT presented Pc
,itians in favor of repeal Of the $3.50 Exemp-
ton Law and for aid to the Erie Railroad which
he was willing to let lie the table, but Mr..
FOSTER insisted on formally moving that they do
lie on the table, and the President decided that he
must entertain the motion. This brought up the
old Delaware Chief again., and he argued with
all his wonted FIRE and energy against any re-
striction of the Right of Petition, such is i'm
piled in the British Parliamentary doctrine that on
the presentation of petitoa the question of re-
ception was always understood to be raised, and
may be made directly by any member. Gen. R.
contended that the Legislature of a free people
has no right to reject Petitions except for insult
or indecency, but it is bound to give them
spectfu hearing and that therefore the question
of reception cannot be raised. The Exemption
petition was finally laid on the table without d.
vision.
Gen. Roof offered concurrent resolution to
permit the introduction of bill to repeal the Elk
emp,ion Law of last winter.
Mr.. DICKINSON proposed concurrent resolu-
ton to let in bills providing aid TO the Public
Works now suspended in an unfaished state
Mr.. FuRMAN offered similar resolution.
The petitions asking aid to the Erie Railroad
we're ladcn the table by l6 to l0-a party vote,
except that Mr.. Faulkner voted with the Wings.
The resolution of Mr. FAULKNER, postponing
the sale of the Erie Railroad, was laid over till
tomorrow. Mr.. HUNTER moved an amendment,
as follows:
But nothing in this Resolution shall be deemed or
ne 10 De an understanding on the part OF
ms Slate 10 purchase construct said road any part
lneEeo' OF 10 loan its credit for snch construction
He might have spared the Southern Counties
this rebuff Nobody supposes that the Loco ocos
will corstrae, this or any other work; while the
Wings will not be prevented from so doing by any
act or resolution of this Legislature
The Senate, finding the House would no, unite
in a Joint Committee, appointed by ballot one of
its own, consisting ef Messrs Ruger, chairman,
Paige, Sherwood, Dixon, Varney, Fraaklis, Dem
uisson, Haat-[two Wings in Italics.
Gen. Roots resolutions relative to the Proceeds
of the Public Lands came up, and he spoke a,
length in favor of their adoption. He had not
concluded when the Senate adjourned

BORDER TRoUBLEs.-A correspondent of the
Bangor Wing writing from Houton, Me-, gives an
account of an amusing affair that occurred there
recently. Capt. Mills, of the British army, took
small force with him to capture two British
deserters who were at work on farm at Houlton.
Leaving his house, Sc. under the charge OF a
sentinel, he proceeded to the farm, when the work
man, fourteen in number, were asleep. 1t seems
the citizens got wind of the intent of the Captain
for though it was midnight they mustered in con-
siderable force, and ordered the Captain to sur
render. He ordered his men to run for the woods,
and with some difficulty made his escape, leaving
his horses. wagons and guns in the hands of those
whom he had sailed forth to seize. VIII he ROT

eight years, was drowned in Hunter, Greene Co.,

life was extinct.
