| affairs of The Nec Yark Plots-Passage of their
Resolutions Touching Exhibition of the Deaf
and Dumb Schoiars-Simguiiu Publication Cele-
bration of the 22d, &c.
DEAR SIR
In my last letter it was said that the resolutions
upon the pilot laws, reported by Senator Jones,
would surely pass the Legislature. II may posi-
bly, be that this statement was excusaby errone-
ous The votes Of the democratic Senators were
counted in favor Of the passage OF the resolutions
but already Senators Barlow, Porter and Clarke
have made speeches in opposition to the resolu-
tions and have given notice that they should vote
against them. II is possible, therefore, that with
the aid of our native Senator, the wings and the
no-monopoly democrats, the pilets will be non
suited, so far as our State Legislature is concerned
A savage attack upon Governor Wright has made
its appearance in the Evening Post, which says that
Mr.. Wright has always been on this question Of
the pilot laws, "evidently and deplorably wrong"
gress to allow the pilots OF Savannah and New Or
leans to make their services available at the port
| of New York! Why not? Senator Hard made
capital speech favor Of your pilots, on Friday last
He Isl warm friend Of Gov Wright; was in Congress
with him. If the Governor has always been
this subject "evidenty and deplorably wrong
not only has Senator Hard shared in the error, but
he still persists in refusing TO be enlightened. The
same is the case with Senators Jones, Beers, and
| Johnson, all democrats who have spoken In favor
| of the resolutions. Since this was written, the
pilots have, am glad to say, carried their point by
| vote of IL 10 10.
very Interesting exhibition in favor of the
Deaf and Dumb Institute, of New York, took

Wetmore and Mr.. Peet were the conductors OF the
exhibition. Last year an appropriation OF five
