remark that the affair Of the bishop rests very much
where it was at the commencement Of the session.

salary OF $500 is TO be paid him up to the I'd of

We have this morning the important information
that DIR. Boughton, alias Big Thunder, the leading
antrener and instigator Of much of the trouble in
the anti-rent district, and who has been trial at
Hudson, Columbia county, for the last eight days,
has been found guilty, and sentenced to the new
States prison in Clinton county for life This is
but the beginning of the end. The Tribune of yes
very confidently that Boughton would be acquitted.
Sympathzing as that paper does with these de6ers

these very men for the Senate of the State of New

From another New York correspondent
To the Editor Of the Union:
The nomination of COL Samuel Young, in the
4th State senatorial district has caused no inconsd-
able comment among those belonging to the various
sections of our party in this State. You will reco-
ect that he was our late secretary of state, and
defeated in the democratic caucus nomination for
reelection Like all enthusiasts, Col. Young has
warm and ardent friends and bitter, unforgiving
enemies. Notwithstanding the hostility which exists
against him, however, he will doubtless be elected
by a triumphant majority
Col. Young has held conspicuous position in
our ranks for more than twenty years, and no one
has ever questioned his ability as statesman, or
his integrity as a republican. The opposition to
him arises from what is termed by his antagonists
his imprncticability" whether the epithet is justly
applied, leave it those capable to Judge. He
certainly is somewhat "set in his ,oays" and perfectly
unyicdng when once he has formed an opinion
II is urged by his opponents, that he is bitter and
Incorporating in his opposition to slavery. do
not think this is just He was, it is true opposed to
the annexation of Texas; and although he relnc-
family voted for the nomination of Mr.. Polk, he
earnestly and honestly supported the nomination
tcten made. 1t is true, he reluctantly yielded
at Baltimore his choice for New York's faverite
son; but he was nevertheless a faithful soldier in
the ranks of Polk and Dallas.
lie Is now, as he has ever been, the friend of
Mr.. Van Buren,, and the warm and energetic sup
porter Of friend Silas Wright; indeed, his devo-
ton to the interests of those distinguished gentle
men has won him troops of friends.
In argument, he is sound and able; in invective,
he is terrific He does not startle and frighten
by the loud roar Of the thunder bolt, but rather,
with the sudden flashes of the forked lightning,
rves and strips the oak to which his vengeance is
directed. The federalists fear him-absolutey fear
him. To use vulgar saying of the New York
news-boys, "He is one Of 'em.''
The Episcopal convention passed ION Saturday
last allthe resolutions prepared by the standing
mittee, except the 4th and 5th. These two resolu-
tons suspend Bishop Onderdonk as the acting
bishop, depriving him of the power to exercise any
Of the Offices Of the episcopate, but recognising
him still as the head of the diocess, and appoint
ing or providing for the election of an assistant
bishop. A fund, it is proposed, shall be set aside
out of the episcopal fund, sufficient for the pur-
poses Of his support-his friends thus endeavor-
ing to save his character, and provide him with
means for his support, and by way Of compromise,
consenting that his functions shall be suspended
You will remember that the verdict of the court Of
bishops on the trial was suspension, not Dismissal
hence the present difficulty; and the question then
arises Is the church without bishop The sou-
