return of your Mr.. Senator Scorr. who bss ,.s VIC
home for instructions. The nomination 20, 60 g..
rogate is not seconded by vARrAS and Scor, s -.
DO not think they will oppose its conf;rm,,; ~
with any great degree OF tenaci,y. Br, !, ~

WISE and VARlAS has declared, time and ag,in
that he shall never be appointed. But his f,an1
are equally pertinacous, and urge his claims ui,I
untiring zeal. The general impression amo,c Il.

Nominations will go through think srch r-m
be the result, though it must be confessed S,r.n.
is rather dubious case. The delegation f,on

This week has been exciting one, in reo,,s

in my last, that certain nominations for AM.
and Schenectady had been withdrawn FINN y,
Senate, upon the " sober, second thougbtn or I;s
very remarkably astute Excellcncy. Since ,bsn
the Governor has been blessed with third SOB

and iorlorn, but he will learn salutary lessen for
the future.
have now to inform you that the Goyerpo,
has been compcllcd-yes, compelled, to back ON
of his position in regard to certain appointment
in Westminster County. The Barn.bumer'

In one of my first letters gave Col. YouyGs,
member for Queens, a little tap on the shoulde,
for violating the third commandment on certain
occasion. | was much amused day or two
since, to find that tina good people of ''Ovstef
Bay" had come to the conclusion thatthe Colonel
had set up swearing school on the floor of the
House, and one of his neighbors has sent him a
letter, reading him quite lecture upon the i'm.
propriety of s,cearing in his speeches before the

minges his speeches and his hard words togetha.
The former are delivered in the House, the latte,

Colonel's constituents
The Select Committee of the Assembly meet

will not insist upon a Convention, if he can be
made to believe that the amendments he desires
can be adopted in any other way. But he tells
them as frankly, that he has no hopes from any
legislative action, and believes Convention will
be forced upon them. believe, and l think
have good grounds for so saying, that majority
of the Committee will recommend that the CUES

mittcd to the People. Should such be the cas,
have scarcely doubt, but that such bill vii
pass the Assembly by strong vote. Its late 10
