this measure, and the example Of 9TH
erstates fully sanctions it. I,respect-
fully commend it to your attention..
This is the first occasion on which
| have had the honor to address major
ity Of both houses Of the general assem-
bly,, belonging TO the same political re-.
lationship with myself; and A cannot
forbear toexprcss the qualification /
feel at the prospect Of harmonious
and confidential understanding between
the several legislative departments Of
the government. Itrust we shall re-
collect, that one Of the great distinctive
characteristics, of the party to which we
are attached, have ever been magma
nimityIand justice to our opponents. Z
Let us not forget that minorities have
rights as wells as majorities, and that
whatever may have been the example
set us BY others, it is the part Of those
who are genuine believers in the prin-
tcipleso of democracy '.to do unto others,
as they would that others should do
unto them.
You will allow me, in conclusion, TO
submit to you ina spirit Of perfect
frapkness and respect, the propriety Of
4 a prompt and energetic despatch, iof
the public business, and an adjourn
ment at the earliest day practirable.
But few leading measures of public
Importance will come before you, and
those are not of a nature to be essen.t
TALLY benefited by a protracted delay.
The people willacertainly be willing
toforegoat the present session most,
If not all Of those private matters,
Which usually occupy so large ashare
of the time and attention Of the Legis- 4
lature. We have a surfeit Of lumbled
private legislation. Let those meas
ures. in which the public at large really .
has an interest, be adopted; and the
work for which you are assembled is
done. Let therest be pcstponedn nntil
the condition of the Treasury iustifes
the continuance Of the legislature icr
private uses; the present is mot that
time. ltf +.
( whatever department of the gov- !
ernment webelong, we should remem- :
ber,s that our efforts to reform abuses, J
and TO retrench expenses, will avail Z
but little, five do not practice our
selves the principles we lay down for
the guidance Of others. This is the
only mode,-i which we can prove our
own sincerity, and satisfy the people
that we are truly in earnest. Let us
act upon.thi policy, and J trust the
present session will furnish an example I
worthy the imitation OF future legislat.
ures. It will afford me great pleasure
to join with youin all efforts to render !
it deserving fthat proud and honora-
A firm ard manly exer-
ton, on our part, to do much and to
do it well, in a short time, will both
promote welfare, and secure the pub.
lie appreciation. No stronger incent-
ives to duty can possibly be affordedto
honest andintelligent servants of the
people. 6 . q

New-York daily tribune., 1843-02-27

Mr. Roor gave history of ths proceedings of
tie company, and sposc at lens,si in support of
the bill. He mad hored, he said, to see the road
made state work but as the majority would not
consent to this, he wished TO see the next best
course taken, He spoke of the injustice CT deny
ing to tbs southern counties any return for the In
juries they had sustained from the improvements
through the centre CT the state. He referred TO
facts to show tina, if this road were completed
it would be the mos. productive work in the state,
the Erie canal alone excepted, and weuld easily
pay off all the snor liens which this bill allowed,
and the three millions advanced by the state be-
sides.
Mr.. DIcX1ssos followed in supper, OF the same
-iews. and the bill was dehsted by different mem
be,s until the Senate, after an Executive session,
adjourned.
In ASSEMBLY, Mr. CHURCH reported in favor
of publishing. the repers OF the receiver of the
Commercial Bank of this city the report was
adopted.
Mr.. SopER introduced bill in relation to fees

Rensa, of the Bankrup, Law.

Il viii be seen by our Letters from Washing
ton this morning that the bill to repeal the Bank
rup. Law has been passed in the Senate by the
large majority OF 9, and that it awaits only
the signature Of the President to become law
We confess our surprise at this result. The
measure was net called for by the People, nor
will it, we are sure, in any way advance their
interests. After doing all the injury that could
flow from it, the Bankrupt Law is repealed just
in time to prevent it from achieving its most
benefcant re,ults.-The proceedings on the pass.
nge Of the bill will be found detailed in our
Letter.

The doings of the SENATE were contained in our

In ASSEMBLY amsng the petitions presented
was one by Mr. HlBBARp, of 4,279 members OF
the Catholic Total Abstinence Society, for the
passage of the bill granting aid the circulation
of DR.. Sewall's Pathology of Drunkenness he
introduced it by some remarks in vindication OF
the accuracy Of the drawings, and urging the
praver of the memorialists. The benefits sought,
he said, were in behalf of 10000 sailors annually
arriving and departing from NewYork $4,000
emigrants and upwards, from all countries and
speaking various languages; 10000 citizens en-
gagged en- the rivers, canals and inland waters of
the State making in all 100000 individuals who,
from the very nature Of their occupation, are inca
psble of any concerted action for their own benefit
as class, and whose interests not represented
directly upon the floor, and who ought TO lind &
chord of responsive sympathy the breast ot every
member.

trics at the next election. This was debated at

Pennsylvania.

The Editor Of the Tribune (who has been for the
last week too i'll to attend to his duties met in
Philadelphia on Friday evening a number of Dele
gates just returned from the Clay Wing State Con-
vention of the friends Of HENRY CLAY at Harris
burg All concurred in stating that the represen-
tation of the interior counties was not only much
fuller than had been expected by the most sangune,
but that the evidences of unanimity and enthusiasm
in behalf of Mr.. Clay were greater than they had
even dared to hope. The spirit is the same as
that which electrified the State in favor Of the
lamented HARRlsoN in 1886 and 1910; but the
unanini.v in favor of Mr.. Clay is greater than that
excited in behalf Of Gen H. at any tine prior to
the summer of 1910. The handful of Ant-Loco-
Focos in the State who still hold out in opposition
to Mr.. Clay are the same who vehemently oppos-
ed Gen. Harrison in 1856, and deprived him of
the vote Of the State; but they are not tenth so
formidable now they then were.
Pennsylvania is immovably Wing in all her ne-
rests and her principles of Political Economy; she
dslikes Van Buren,, and will not be driven into
exporting him again; if Buchanan can be forced
upon tho party, State Pride would probably induce
her to support him; but against any other Free
Trade man, che will cast her vote for the next
President for HENRY Clay. Such is our ardent
conviction The srst blow at the Tariff next win
ger will destroy the chance even of Buchanan.

The Wings Of Virginia held State Convention
at Richmond on the 22d inst, OF which the atten-
dance was large and the spirit most animstiug and
enthusiastic. BEEJAMlN WATKINS LEIGH was
appointed to preside over their deliberations, and
delivered an address on taking the chair worthy
his ancient rehown.
An able address was prepared discussing in
cogent manner the political questions of the day.
Resolutions approving tbs recommendation of the
Wings of Congress, tar National Convention
declaring the preference of the Wings of Virginia,
for HENRY CLAY, and referring the selection OF
a Vice President to the National Convention, were
also adopted.
Several eloquent and animated speeches were
made at intervals, by gentlemen from various quar-
ters of the State. The Whig says that but one
sentiment animated the whole-a settled convlc-
,ion that the Wing party is as powerful as ever
and firm determination to make its power lelt.
The Convention adjourned in the finest spirit, un-
der the influence of the charming eloquence os
Watkins Leigh, which touched and animated every
bosom.

STAY LAws.-The Supreme Court a. Washing
ton has recently been engaged in the investigation
of the validity Of the Stay and Valuation Laws, to
which resort has been had in several of the South
ern aud Western States, under the existing severe
pressure, which made i, inconvenient for debtors
to meet their obligations when due. The case
came up appeal from the Circuit Court IN
Illinois, where the Judges could not agree. Chief
Justice TAEEY delivered the opinion OF the Court,
which was very long and elaborate, and in which
FIVE of the six sitting members OF the Court agree
The decision is, that the mortsaged premises
should have been sold without regard to the stay
and valuation laws Of the State. Upon the con-
sttu,ionality Of the laws the Court is agreed, ex'
cspt Judge Mclean, who aissents from the neces-
si,y of examining that point, and also from The de-
cision OF the Court that they are unconstitutional
and therefore void.

Senate charged with the duty of preparing ap-
portonment of Districts for the State took the prs
caution of going round among the Loco-Foco Mem

things, either that they cannot rely on their own
party or tha, the scheme they have TO offer is too
outrageous to expect the support of any reasona-
bic man on it. own merits. But The Members
thought this moyensen, rather too insulting, and
refused to give the pledges desired. Net satisfied
with that, some OF them exposed the secrc, III
