ifyou will narrowly scan that in the Atlas. the organ
of the Governor and Attorney General, you will be
struck with its mos, impotent and lame conclusions
The truth, though perhaps somewhat colored is
evidently this time on the side Of the Argus and the
Old Hunkers. Here is an awkward fact which the
Atlas clique are troubled 20 get over. Every body
knows these bullies never work for patriotism nor
party either. Whether they vote or fight they do
all for pay and in either case, they not modest in
their charges This being self admued fact the
question very naturally arises. who paid From the

bing there is little left for doubt as 10 who were
the employers. And l am told on good authority
that in the moment OF victory the Chairman ad-
mitted and gloried in the fact that his party had
brought these boys out purpose. Certain it is,
that he voluntarily offered to pay CLARKE for
the damages done to his hoase-about $50 dollars
This is virtually what lawyers call cognovlt
Here then is the confessed fact that faction OF

upon the Wings and honest electors driven by them
from the polls and thus deprived of their rights;
but all our remonstrances&ere in vain. Noc, how
ever the poisoned chalice is returned to the lips of
those who mixed it. But in all this, the people,
long deluded and party ridden are the ultimate
gamers, for they see the hidden wheels OF the
machinery by which they have so long been crushed.
The Legislature get along slowly. An attempt
was made yesterday to fix the day of adjournment
three weeks hence, but it was voted down. hard
ly believe day will be determined upon, until the
Anti. Rent bills are disposed of Nor should there
be. There is opportunity 10 dispose OF all
these difficulties in peaceable. lawful way, and
fearful will be the responsibility of those who stave
OIL action under any pretence. The bill IN relation
TO tenures reported by the Assembly Committee
meets with general appreciation, notwithstanding
the opposition of interested Patroons-crotchety
New-York Editors and their paid correspondents
from this city sincerely hope will pass for it
will be productive Of vast good.
The bill to submit to the people at the coming
Election for Delegates, the question of removal
of the Capitol came up in the Assembly to-day, but
was postponed for a week. The bill proposes
gigantic gambling operation on the part of the peo-
pie for the benef, of spectators In ca or Syracuse

The rummies of Brooklyn. fearful that the grog-
geres of your City will sell more rot.gut to their
opers than they can do themselves, have petitoned
to except Brooklyn from the operation OF the new
Excise Law. And WELL, Of your City, who has
given his judicial opinion that the law is uncohslta-

grog.shop politicians cease
There are over $50 bills in the Assembly ready for
their final passage, but they are purposely blocked
up by the advocates of certain railroads perhaps
should say one) which have not merits enough OF
their own to stand alone. | have once or twice
hnted at the process of log rolling being carried on
in the Assembly, this subject. Iii most infamous

every measure would be left 10 stand or fall upon
its own merits. And if majority vote could be Sc
cured to enact rotten corporation, II would require
only majority TO prune its excrescences In alter
years. But now, by corrupt og'roing' anything
may be forced into existence, but all after reforms
are npped in the bud.
The bill to allow the New-York and Erie Railroad
to 90 into Pennsylvania has been debated for two
DAYS. 1t cannot pass-thats settled What will
be done on its defeat, remains TO be seen. There
are any quantity ofthreats.
Nothing yet is heard of the bill to punish Seduction
and Adultery. | begin almost TO doubt whether
any bill can be passed. unless anexcePton be made
from its penalties of the members of the Legislature
