PROCEEDINGS OF THE Observation-Disclosures
OF UNITED STATES Misunderstanding to the
new constitution Of this State, the members of the
Legislature are only paid for one hundred days
sitting. The probability that they will adjourn
when that time shall have expired As fifty and
upwards of hose hundred days have passed with
out any important measures being acted upon, the
remaining time will probably be occupied in de-
batting the great and important questions that are
awaiting l. glslation, and which are closely con-
nected with the prosperity of the Empire State
The proceedings will therefore be very interesting,
and we have arranged 10 give, by telegraph, full
report of each days dongs, without regard to the
expense
The most important matter that will probably
engage the attention of the Legislature before the
adjournment, is the election of United States
Senator to fill the place lately occupied by the
Hon. Daniel s. Dickinson. This is the most in
tercsng question, perhaps, of all before the Legis
lature, affecting as il does, not only own domes.
tic interests as State, but our relations with the
Union, and connected directly with the continuance
of the republic. The eyes of the whole country
are firmly and ste adiy fixed on New York She
Is called upon to decide whether she will be repre-
scented in the Senate Of the United States by a man
who is Identified with those who acknowledge a
higher law than the constitution their rule of
conduct-whose conduct for number of years
past placed the Union in danyer-or by man who
will be guided by the constitution, who will defend
and maintain that sacred instrument, and the COM
promises and rights made and guaranteed in pur-
suance OF il, and sustain and cherish the Union of
this great republic. AS it is, New York is dis
graced by her present Senators and the question Is,
are we to have another Of the same stripe or man
who is Union all over, in he art, body, and sou to
represent us in the Senate z This is the question
which has been before the present Legislature,
and which will probably again engross its atten-
ton.
Next in importance to the Senatorial election are
the question Of the enlargement of the canals of
this State, the common school question, the ques.
ton of assessment, and the code of procedure,
which ought to be passed upon as soon as possible
None of these, however, are SO importsnt in a
general sense as the Senatorial election, at this
crisis; al as each and all Of them will be acted
upon during the remainder of the session, we have
determined to place full telegraphic report of the
debates and proceedings from day to day. before our
readers, SO that they will know what is doing in
Albany.
