on the motion OF Mr.. VIELE Of Washington, ap-
pointing Committee to Ill during the races and
examine fully into the freuds-enornous beyond

ny though, i, a very proper proposal, II was not
pressed
You will perceive the very hauering vote which
the Erie Railroad received day. But It's fate, not
withstandng is very dubious. There are SO many
wheels within wheels in the Assembly, connected
with this and all other matters about the House mat
no one can tell what will be the result a certain
runner who has spent the whole winter here lobby
ing for every body that would pay him most, was
heard staggering very loudly that this bill should
not pass unless the Senate agree TO certain other
Railroad bill This is a sample. Ii the bill fails, how
ever j; will be owing more TO the outrageous Sian
der of the Courier and Enquirer upon certain mem
bers, than TO any other cause.
The Assembly have this afternoon passed most
important bill in relation TO The State Prisons, copy
Of which with the exception Of one or two slight
amendments send you
The Senate have spent the whole afternoon in
considering the bill for Railroad from
