errupt that history 1--we know OF nothing more dis
ruu,abe or unjust ihan The defeat OF this great
,easure imperntivcly demanded by The welfare and
ro,pcr,y Of both this city and the state at large. The

ccsets Of Abanans -
Having. in Difference to the advice Of friends,
ceased to notice the continued assaults ofthe New
York C. & T.. and Express, we shall be pardoned
br repelling this uniounded and malignant libel
upon our City. And We shall content oursci with
IN appeal 10 recorded truth which should cxtort
retrac;ion of the calumny But Of this there IS no
hope. We ask however, of just and fair minded
Papers in TINT City, that justice which ialsehood
and malice deny.
The question upon the final passage Of the New

The bill, il will be seen, wanted one vote OF
Constitutional majority, Thct Uote waS cast against
the bin BIZ Mr.. Sie,cart, of The C2yot Netc York
The three Members from Albany viz Mcssrs.
HARRIS SHAFER and WATSON, voted in the affirm
alive Mr.. SHAFER, when his name was called
voted in the negative, but upon being Appealed TO
before the vote announced directed his vote to
be recorded in the affirmative Allstben depended
upon one vote and tina, vote from The City at N"T
York But Mr. STEWART, whose Ay would
have saved the bill, resisted all appcas--and the
bill was declared lost.
Bnt This is mo-, NIL Among the negative votes, are
those OF Mr. Cole of Richmond, Messrs. KING and
VOORHEES, of KINGS, Mr.. WILLIS oil Queens, and
Messrs GARDINER and UDALL of Suffolk. IL Will
be seem therefore that in addition to the vote OF one
New.York Member against this bill. the entire dele
cations from Staten Island and Long Island were
against it, Either one of these votes would have
saved the bill.
And with such state of published, notorious
fact. the City of Albany is charged with the defeat
Of the bill! Accustomed rs the public Is to The
recklessncss of the Courier Enquirer, the enorml'
tyo this injustice cannot fail 10 excite establishment
II the Courier X Enquirer cared any thlnS noou'
formulating n great national work" il it had any
other motive bn, TO malign and elandcr Albany, 1t
would have fairly and honestly appealed to those 10y
whom the measure was defeated. II would nave
directed its attention TO and exerted liz influence
upon the member from Ncw-Iork, ana those rem ron
is neisbhorin counties who voted against the bill
Bu, we expect nothing OF justice or fairness from
,ha, quarter. Is injustice, fortunately, is rendered
harmless by its malSnity
