There are many who are in favor of
manufacturing a King without touching the
suffrage. The dissolution of the Chamber
and the elections will take place in Nav

Eg The Legislature closed its session on
Monday morning last. 1t has been long
session, but not too long, considering the
amount of work which has been DONE
Our laws have been completely revised and
are ready to be printed and bound up in
one convenient volume. The incongruties
and contradiction which have heretofore ex-
listed in them tits hoped and believed have
been thoroughly eradica,ed, and the whole
reduced TO clear and simple form, which
any person may understand. Certainly,
the session has rot been too long for a
work of this character.
Our readers have been kept tolerably
well advised of the doings of the Legisla-
ture, whilst in session. and but little remains
TO be said to bring this information up to
the closing point.
The resolutions of censure upon Isaac
P. Walker, and calling upon him TO resign
passed both Houses, as they were origin,
dhy ihtiouHCCu IHLO tHc ASSEMBLY,.
A bill from the Revisors, containing essen.
tally what is known as the married wo
mans rights bill, was the main subject oil
discussion and interest during the last DAYS
of the session. Ii passed the House, with
an amendment submitting it to vote OF the
people, next fall. The Senate refused to
concur in this amendment. The House
refused by a majority of one to recede; a
committee of conference was appointed
which recommended the House to recede.
This the House refused to do, and the bill
was lost. We may hope, by the vote on
this occasion, that before another session
passes this will become law.
The laws which have been passed, gen
ally 90 into operation on the first of Jan
uary next. Some, however, 90 into opera,
ton sooner, and provision has been made
for the publication and distribution among
the people in season.

ELECTION IN New Messrs.
Wilson and Tuck are reelected to Congress
from this State, but by reduced major.
tiles. Gen. Peaslee, (Democrat,) who
voted with the friends of Freedom during
the late Congress, is reelected by a large
majority. The independent Democrat
says
1--WE have no regrets to express at this
result. We are free 10 repeat what we
have said of him before the election. Du-
ring the session of Congress, just closed,
lie has, so far as we have observed, uni
(ormly voted right. The returns will show
that he runs somewhat above his ticket
| was natural that he should; as he is I'M
questionably the best man on it,
OF Henry Hibbard, Democrat elected
in the 4th District, the same paper says
Harry is a man of good talents, anG if
he will be as ambitious 10 serve the cause
of human freedom as he has been to serve
his party, we shall not regret his election.
He and Mr.. Tuck were classmates in COL
lege. We hope the representative from the
Grafton and Coos District will be as true
to freedom as Mr.. Tuck. He is certainly
pledged to resist the extension of slavery ;
and we think he has the good judgment to
see that rigid adherence to his pledges on
that subject is the surest road to fame and
a lasting popularity, as it is the only path
TO honor.
In the Legislature, The Democrats will
have a very large majority. The truth is,
the ant-slavery resolves of the Democracy
of that State, and the explicit sanction Civ
ell by the majority Of the last Legislature
10 the conduct of their representatives in
Congress, in sustaining Colts resolution,
are restoring the old Democratic party to
power.
The Washington Union rejoices over
this Democratic victory, without exploring

u The charter and town elections, which took
place here on Monday and Tuesday last, resulted
generally in favor of the Free Democrats. BY a
combination, the wings and hunkers succeeded in
electing the President of the Village; and in the
first ward the humkers carried the Trustees and
Assessor. With these exceptions the free soil
ticket was elected.
At the town election the contest was spirited
but the utmost good feeling prevailed throughout
the day. The wings succeeded in eIecting two oil
their candidates for Justices The free soil party
carried all the rest of the town officers by ma ores
ranging from so to 100 over their wing and hunk
er competitors.
We give below a table of the result in village

will doubtless guard the constitution and the in
