Alter an sbsence Of two weeks, have reurned
to the capitol. Some private matters rendered II
necessary for me 10 visit Onondaga county, ia the
nienor o. which BECAME fearful Of being compelI-
ed 10 remain until the penetrating rays OLA July sun
should scatter the mountains Of snow which nhabit
| that unloriunaie region Deliver me from such an
! embargo oi snow banks az experienced. Never
was the like known within the me mory Of man.
The farmers informed me. that the greatest appre-

should be completely Smotherod under FIVE months

The only matter Of general interest now on the
taps is Cooael youngs trrbrand. The,Senate has
been greatly aeated, end Il has become more con-
vnIsed upon that subject than upon any other which
has occupled the attention OF Senators during the
present session. The wings, Ia man, ar. OF course
opposed To any th,ug that comes from the Colonel
he drusocnis are divided; the conservatives, led
on by Foster, and driven forward by Wright, de-
noynce the Secretary with unlimited impreca-
ioDs- calling him repudlator, radical, locooeo. &c
Nc while the remaining SECTION, beaded by Sher-
wood and Dennision, sustain the Secretary in hrs
interprr,atlo Of the ConsiiiutIoa Various reeou
tions at censure have been offered and rejected
which emanated from the wing and conservative
side ofhe Senate; and as there are three organized
parties this question, II Is quite probable that the
Colouel's Inhfmmafory communication will be dis
posed Of as containing nothing very ncendiary after
ell As Mr., Lieut. Gov. Dickinson has taken up the
glove on the part OF the cons ryailves, isvery pro-
babe that the whole matter viii be transferred 10 the
columns of the argus" where he mas been invited
10 enter As Col. Young and Gov Dickinson are both
possessed OF extraordinary capabilities, the forth
coming controversy 10 anticipated with intense in
tcrest. IL will be controversy between two poliii-
cal friends, OF no ordinary magnitude. and il will
doubleday create schIsIn in the parry. Colonel
Young has never yet entered the field 81 mental
combat with any man, but he has come OIL with the
palm of victory perching on his brow II Gov, Dick
inson stra meet with success, he viii be hailed
the Ajax of the day, 49,. n. ~. .,h
A resolution lies upon the table, offered by Gen
Root removing the present Secretary Of State from
Office. Notwiihs tanding the great desire Of Cros-
well, Corning Foster, &c, il Ia Dust him from his
servaives TO with the wings on that resolution
They are too cautious 10 commit any act whereby
Samuel Young should be placed in the gubernatorial
chair IN lSi IA place Of the weak yasclllaung, inn
beetle thing, occupying IL al present. ...t % l.t
You can never imagine the manifest disposition in
both Houses OF the Legislature TO dispose Of Cros-
well, prior to the adjournment He ~ the most I'm
popular person around the Capitol Although never
had the good or i'll fortune OF his acquaintance still
had imagined from his exalted position, as editor
OF the State paper that his influence very extern
slve. But II is Tar from being so. bill has been
before the Senate curtapg his ices State printer
which, If passed into a law, will have him barely
the holder of the office, without any material emo
luments AS Rugan, Dennston and Strong, are en-
gagged in it, there is every probability thar the bill
will pass. 1t will be quite hardship to reduce the
fees much is proposed for viii be recollected
that he gave Van Dyck seven thousand dollars To
get him out of the concern. ts..,s. .a7
The days OF log rolling are not yet. Here's
an instance. The great Geological Humb ~, which
has already cost the Strte some quarter OF mill on
is to be printed with all the wonderful discoveries OF
Graywackc, 'Shistis, Mail and Mullen. Six volumes
have already been printed by the late State printer
but the publication of the remaining six eight, at
an estimated cost OF $50 900, was arrested by Cover
nor Bouck A bill was recently introduced and run
hot haste through the Assembly, authorizing Car
roll & Cook, the printers TO the House, TO complete
this gigantic work When II came up in the Sc
nate, MI. Foster examined its features, and found
that il proposed to give the work to the Assembly
printers without allowing any other printers in the
State to compete with them and as it an i'm.
mense job, he proposed to make tia democratic
bill, by throwing open the doors TO all who might
feel disposed to estimate upon the work N would
be saving to the State al least OF twenty five per
cent. MIR. Foster also remarked, that Madam Ru-
NOR informed him that there was a combination of
interest," at work in this matter Although this work
sproposed to be given to este nsble democrats still
il was to be done in Thurlow Weeds Office, and
the proprietors thereof are TO receive stipulated
amount OF the profits, as they now do of the Assrm-
bly, printing done in that Office.
Senator Strong, a resident OF the same village
with Carroll 81 Cook, arose 10 vndcate the bill,
and in opposition TO Mr., Foster. He said il was
true that these printers had their work done at
Wing office but they had entered into arrange
ment to pay the owners $500 a year for its use !;
but il they obtained the geological work. then they
were TO pay these Wing printers 5000 and take the
concern. Tins arrangement drew every Wing Sc
nator IN favor of the bill, il enabled their Wing
friends TO obtain twice much for their types and
presses as they orth. The hl then, OF course
became law. ,i O.. .- o., -...
Mr. Speaker Davis is an honorable man, and. be
fore the Bank Commissioners, bill came up, he con.
trolled the action Of the House with amaeician's
wand But since, encounterlng the greatest defeat
of the session, he rarely troubles himself about any
Of the business Of the House. Mr.. Hathaway is
nearly every day in the chair pro tenn, much 10
the annoyance OF father. Strong the constitutional
lawyer Of thatbody. Yours, truly,
