He Representative Of whom NcwY may
well be proud, and if she consults her best inter

rial career.
Senator DEXNIsToN made his appearance mthe
Senate Yesterday with cod;cil to Michael Holt
mans Stop Law policy. The ground is boldly ia
ken that the public works are TO be a6aado"ed-
nothing TO be done TO bring into use structures
which have cost millions, and which iced the out
Law of but few thousands to bring them into Use.
Hoffman, Flagg & Co. are lauded to the skies and
the doctrine of the ultra Barn Burners Is to be
the watchword Of TIE Democracy FAULKNER ana
CHAMBERLAIN. the two Loco-Foco Internal In
proycmcnt Senators from the Sixth made very
wry faces at the dose. The latter was particu-
larry indignant, and made tirst-rate Whig speech
Yesterday He said if the doctrines OF the report
were Democratic, he was a Democrat no Longer
DENNlsroH threatens to read HIM out OF the
church for heresy. But VIC shall sec what we
shall sec. The strenuous advocates of the Erie
Railroad and the Gcnesec Valley Canal were
oudest in their advocacy of the odd White
Horse WHO was to finish their canal and road In
a jitfy, They have rcaped bitter reward, but one
which they richly deserved.
Senator ScorT made most luminous report
Yesterday against the Hudson River Railroad.
Much is SAID about pccu lar lobby influences hay
ing been brought TO bear to bring about tins re-
suit. OF this | know nothing, and shall say less
You know the merits of the case: II is quarrel
between the River route and the old New York
and Albany Railroad route. The advocates OF
the former have been strenuous ~ lobbying for
their pet. Their peculiar clam appears TO have
been based upon the comparatively low grades OF
this route with those OF the interior. This Is adj
mltted to be true in the report but imagine, II
you can, the argument with which 1t Is met the
discovery is worthy of your lllustrlous Senator;
it is this although it is more difficult to propcl
loaded tram up an ascent, yet the greater Ia
cilty of the descent balances the matter exactly,
and places the road of high grade and of no grace
a, all on a par. To illustrate this principle you
may take a case III point: It may be difficult and
slow work to ascend to the pinnacle of ono OF
your churches, bet the rapldity of descent, pro-
vded you viii only Jump off when you have
reached the summit SO 'cquallzcs The exchanges
as TO make the whole feat OF ascending and de-
scendinc as easy to be performed as quiet walk
across the floor Q mos, learned Scion how
will thy Legislative brow blush wlthits wellcarned
laurels!
Yonr general tax ana assessment BILL passed
the Senate to-day without dissent The Bank
Commissioners bill still sleeps the sleep OF death
Whether the Assembly PROJECT TO abolish the otoce

Houses, is very doubtful. Meanwhile the cxPec-

There was disgracc:ul fight III the Assembly
this morning, growing out OF Mondays quarrel
between McNIuRRAY and LEE of Orange. Nc.
MURRAY accused LEE Of beng the author OF
SwAcxnAMER's letter in Yesterdays Journal, and
attempted to raise question of privilege Some
conversation ensucd, when McAlvKR,Y went up
TO LEE and struck him, LEE then caught his
antagonis, by his soap-locks, and bending HIM
down over the desk, was proceeding to administer
a sound thrashing, when he was prevented by his
brother members. The whole matter was re-
eyred 10 select committee, who instantly went
