The federal papers, even Of the conservative class
among them, ere evidently paving the way for an
absolute and unconditional surrender to the anti
renters of all their demands. The Express Of last
Saturday evening concludes long and trucking
article in these words:
Having these views, we certainly could not con-
denim either Silas Wright or John Young, IL, in the
exercise OF sound discretion, they extend the par

This is just beginning for the Express; and Of

the road to giving up everything to the faction. 1t

Young but, no doubt, "tis written in the bond"
The first provision Of the new constitution which
has yet come up for judicial consideration, has been
disposed of in a summary way, which seems to
have excited the wonder and displeasure of the
warm partisans Of that instrument Chief Justice
Bronson the other day in the supreme court at Ro-
chester, in the course Of some remarks on the add

ce in all the courts of the State, did not in any way
alter the standard Of admission as hitherto settled

ports, which msled the -four and grain dealers, and
exposed them to heavy losses. Ii adds, that an
PLANTATION is required from the Office in Boston. The

faction by its marked political bias If such prac-

communicating news. Nothing but the strictest in
tegrity and honor will answer.
The more the causes which produced our recent
defeat in this State come to light, the clearly
one sees the folly and fasehood Of the federal pre-
fences that the measures Of the administration are
alone to blame Did time serve, at least six
congressional districts in this State might be
named, where we lose many members by
causes which had no more to do with the tariff or
the msstration, than they had to do with the
rise and fall of the tides. The Journal Of Commerce

For the first time since the federal anti-rent tr-
umph in this State we have had to-day several hours
