An episode, OF an exceedingly laughebe cha

1t seems that the Democratic State Central Gem
mlttee OF the Cass. or ant-sbolition section.
wrote note To Mr.. j v l.. Pruyn Ca member
OF the House,) requesting him to procure the
use OF the Assembly chamber for the demo-
cratic convention OF to morrow. Mr. Pruyn, ac-
cordlngly, addressed note to the Speaker, ask
,ng that this request might be granted and this
note was read TO the House, in Que, form,
to-day. Immediately after II was ed, Mr..
Walsh, OF New York, said that before the House
complied with lhe request of the democratic
comni.tee, he wished to make an enquiry res.
pecting gentleman formerly exte nsively engaged
ii the pill business, for the purpose OF purgng the
public bod y land who, ifthe convention was allow
ed to meet in this chamber, mil ht purge it of the
public documents which were lying, upon the
desks of members. The enquiry which he wish
ed to make was, whether DR.. Brandreth's name
was attacked to the communication just read.
The Speaker replied that the paper was signed
by Mr.. j. V. l.. Piuyn alone
Mr.. Walsh moved that the request Of the De-
mocratlc State Central Committee of the Cass
section be denied.
Mr.. Coe, of Livingston, who, as a speaker, ap-
proaches John Randolph more nearly than any
other living man, moved that the favor asked be
granted.
This motion was of course debateable, and
Mr. Walsh was not slow to avail himself
the motion He INDUCED in some harsh stric-
lures upon the conservative wing of the dem
ocratlc party, which he asserted was COM
posed Of gang of mock custom house patriots
OF men overlooking with patriotism, not TO the
country, but to the men who have the power to
keep them iii Office. He opposed the motion to
grant the use of the chamber to this convention,
on the ground that If they were allowed to meet
here, all the portable property in the chamber
would be carried away; and he especially and
publicly enJolhed the sergeant at arms, if the
quest was granted, lock up his (Mr. Walsh 81
documents. The remarks of Mr.. w. were re-
ceived with bursts of laughter, in all parts of the
House. The poor fellows comprising the con-
servative wing We're treated in most mercless
way; their organization was hooted at as rregu-
lar and their claims to the title of distinct party
were denied by MIR. w. They were simply the
outline or the skeleton of an old party, without
any of the substantial internal combinations
called entrails; they were shadows cropping af
ter shadows; they were entitled to no mercy nor
pity; though tnelr power to do evil was gore,
yet, ii they were admitted into this chamber,
they would steal the public Documents lie
hoped, Therefore, that the desire OF the demo-
cr.tc State Central Committee of the Cass Sec
ton woaid nat be granted
But the request or the committee was granted,
ald the convention will meet in the Assembly
chamber tomorrow afternoon.
MIR. Dempster gave another of his pleasant bal
lad entcrtalnTenis at the Female Academy this
evening His audience Was very telligent and
numerous, and he was receive d with sincere cor
dislty. The concerts of Dempster are partlc1-
iarly captivating, on account OF their entire orr
2ln.lity.

abridge the rules OF practice and proceedings of

report, which will probably be presented TO the
Legislature next week
