EXTRAORDINARY MOVEMENT IN THE LEGISLATURE
We refer our readers to the letter of our intelli-
gent correspondent Albany for the particulars of
most extraordinary movement made by (the anti
renD Senator an Schoonhoven in the State Legisa-
ture. The movement we refer to, is the introduce
ton OF resolution instructing the judges Of the
first and third circuits to report to the Senate the
names OF the convicted anli-renters now in prison,
the testimony adduced on their trials land their term
of Imprisonment. The object of this resolution as
we understand, is to procure the pardon of the anti
renters and the impeachment of Judge Parker.
This is the most high-handed attempt on the part of
the Legislature, to subvert the judiciary, that we
have ever heard Of. What! impeach Judge Parker?
and Tor what? For mantully indicating the funda-
mental laws of society," and melting ost to the anti
rent consprators and rebels that punishment
which they deserved. We have certainly fall
en- upon evil times, If a magistrate of the
land can be impeached for the faithful performance
of his sworn duty. Instead OF slur being cast on
ths conduct Of Judge Parker, he is entitled to the
thanks of the State and the Union large for Crap
ping with that hydra-headed and Gallo o-attired
monster, antirentism, and crushing before another
scene like that OF the murder of the lamented Steele
had occurred. Judge Parkers character for probity
and integrity is long established, and it wi take
more than resolution of Senator Van SchoonEo-
to shake the confidence that the public have in
him, and which his judicial conduct for series OF
years past has earned We have more faith in the
dignity of the Senate than to suppose, for oment,
that such resolution will pass that body.
ABOLITION FANATIcIsM the late annual meet
ing of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, it
was resolved, that the "only path to the accom-
pshmen of the objects Of the society was over the
ruins of the present American Church. and the pre-
sent American Union" This may now be consi-
dered the settled policy Of the abotonsts efthe
forth. Again and again, in their various meetings,
they have declared ii such, and even the plat
form Of old Faneuil Hall, the damnable doctrine has
been uttered and cheered by large audience Of in
furiated fanatics.
We shall not stop here to discuss the abstract
question OF slavery. Our views on that subec, are
already we'll known. But we really wonder that
forbearance does not practically cease to be virtue,
when American ears are forced to listen to such
ideas, proclaimed publicly and unbIushingy by set
OF designing chaps, who are leading on large
at onI,y L,,t J.I,l -
the city Of the Pilgrims, we can hardly believe that
men are found, who, forgetting every thing holy in
the nature of man, would raze to the ground the
great Christian edlfioe which their fat hers have
built. We wonder that the stones of old Bunker
Hill do not cry out, when the Union, cemented with
the dearest blood of fathers, is thus publicly
assailed
But on the whole, this mad folly Of the silly
fanatics Will operate better than sly, underhanded
works The people can see their designs, and shun
them. II will work out its own cure; and IN few
years these rawlings will be forgotten and the men
who uttered them will have been consigned to an
unlamented oblivion.
MUNICIPAL REroRM.-It is tmusing to witness
the farce going on in the Common Council chambe
relative to municipal reform. One would suppose
OF men that ate oyster suppers and smoked Sc
CARS in the tea at the expense OF the unfor i-
nate humbugged public Gentlemen, be consistent.
Don't talk of reform now ,at the eleventh hour You
certainly cannot expect to get any credit for the
buster you are making about reform. The people
have undertaken the matter, and you never would
have stirred an inch until the cry for change in the
management OF our municipal matters was demand
ed IN voice not TO be mistaken. Be consistent and
keep up the old regimen Tor the remainder Of your
brief political existence. The reform party mex,
April will do all that we want.
