ALBANY. May4.
If the Senate shall see fit to endorse and adopt
the bill which passed the Assembly yesterday
then may the requiem of the "policy of lS42'
be at once sounded. 1t is even so. The Assem-.
bly, has broken down that barrier. and passed the
bill Of Mr.. SEYMOUR, which in spirit and intent, il
not in direct terms, authorizes partial resump.
ton of the Public Works. The policy indicated
by the BILL is precisely that contendcd for by the
Wings in 1912, when the balcful star of Destruc.
tivism was in its zenith. The adhercnts of the
"policy of lS12"-indicatcd in tic famous STOP
law, fought this bill of SEYMoUR's with dcspera-
tion, but it was of no use DAvEzAC invoked
| the names of New Orleans and the weird power
of the living Jackson, and appealed TO the Demo
crazy not to take the back track and break III up
on the law OF lS42, which occupies his sleeping
and waking thoughts. He pointed to what he
classicay and elegantly termed the "Whlg tall
harping to this bill but the friends Of Internal
improvement carried the day, and the bill passed
by an overwhelming majority! Thus ends, So
far as ths Assembly is concerned, that darling
nursing of Loco-F -Focosn,. The indications are
that the Senate will not be backward in giving
the final kick, which will send the black ball IN
to the shades of utter oblivion The dawn OF bet
ter days again appears, and before the growing
brightness the lovers of political darkness retire.
Close upon the heels of this defeat of the " lIa-
deals" followed another overthrow OF the Adml-
ral The famous Rercnchment and Tax bill
was killed, and the substitute OF MIR. BoswoRTH,
which HorrMAN characterized as uumitigated
Ntol f'H hon
retired from the field, and in his usual nervous
and expressive style, remarked to friend that if
the party chose to 90 to the D. at race-horsc
speed he would net interfere" He has said that
there is no doubt Of All overwhelming Whg VIC
tory in the State, next FAIL and his opinion is
re-cchoed by many, very many of The Loco Fo-
co members of the Assembly. l do not speak
unadviscdly when l say that there are not ten
members who have the slightest hope Of saving
the State at the next Election. The news of the
nomination at Baltimore, and its enthusiastic re-
cepton everywhere, cast an additional gloom
over their already wofully elongated countenan-
ces. Little Twinkle of the Argus, an excel
lent packhorse is endeavoring to write himself
down an ass by prosy editorials on the subject
of {" Bank, bank, bank" But he is only laugh
cd at for his pains by his own party. CRoswELL
remarked to friend, but a day or two since, that
"things looked squally enough" Van Buren is
wet blanket to their hopes, but he cannot and
will not be laid aside.
The Senate at late hour last night passed
bill for the election of Canal Commissioners by
the People When it came to the Assembly, the
"Old Hunkers," at the back Of SEYMOUR, endca
vored to smother the project at once; but in this
greatly to his modification and chagrln, he was
hoored by an union of Wing and real Democratic
votes An attempt will be again made TO kill
the bill, by talking against time but if vote
can be got at, it will receive nearly two-thirds
vote, and then let the "Old White Horse" apply
the poeket or direct veto, if he dares! OF course
your Mr. BoswoRTH was found opposing this De-
mocratic measure, and he made a labored argu-
ment to show that the people, II entrusted with
this power, would enter into unhoy conblna-
tions, and elect improper men. That's Demo
cracy for you! How will it sound ringing
through the walls of" Old TammanyF' Every
Wing, l am happy TO say, IS IN favor OF the
bill.
The License Law, fear, will be smothcrcd IN
the Senate Shame upon that body il such
shall be the result The bill to punish SEDUc-
r1oN has been frequently reached in the Assem-
bly, and upon several votes taken, majority has
been found in its favor. But then its enemies
would resort TO the disgraceiul and dishonorablc
cxpcdient of "talking against tme," and thus
they have succeeded in staving off the question,
and the bill is dead. But they cannot repeal the
sepenth precept of the Decalogue. 1t will forever
stand, and they must meet and answer to Its Di-
vine Author The bill has been sneered at, rid
culed, and its supporters loaded with epithets.-
One prominent Loco Foco remarked IN debate,
that he believed every woman who had signed
one Of the petitions for this law, was herself want
ing in that which this bill seeks to protect What
think you of such sentiment coming from an
honorable Representative Of the People
AS an evidence of the unanimity in the Legls-
lature on the subject of Bouck and one term,"
| may point to the significant fact that, cores
pondcnce has been carried on between the Loco
ioco members of the Legislature and SnAs
WRIour, in which every consideration is brought
to bear TO induce that Senator to accept the next
nomination for Governor. Well may BoucK ex-
claim, Call you this backing your friends -
Yours, &c. NAICHloN Eh.
