nlee'ing OF the Legislature.

&Aeo'aoS % the Ae8fsi"suA~s
The Legislature of this State will meet at the
capitol in Albany, this day, at twelve O'Clock
Immediately after its organization, the Governor,
John Young, will send in his inaugural message,
the heads of which will, no doubt, be teegraphed
TO this city.
We hope His Excellency will have some mercy
ON his constituents, and not make his message
as long as were Gov. Wright's, the last of which
occupied sixteen columns OF a newspaper.
Brevity in State documents is nowadays con-
sdered great virtue, and will, like charity, cover
amutitnde of SINS The fact is, that majority
of our citizens cannot afford to read message Of
great length, because their business occupies the
whole of their time. A short document is read
by the people generally.
There will be some sport at Albany this win
ter, in consequence of the anomalous condition
of parties there.
They stand'as follows:-
Wing majority in the House. ...........Is
Democratic majority in the Senate. ...... 10
Wing majority on joint ballot ..........s
Neither party can pass measure that will not
please the other. The consequence will probably
be, that we will have short session, and no laws
of doubtful public good will be passed.
The new constitution has abolished the slate !;
office seekers are, therefore, in the dumps
