ALBANY, March %, 1851.
The Case C0recfly Stated.

The Case Correctly Stated
There is so much speculation aAoat relative to
the and conduct Of certain Senators, in the
election of United States Senator, and much Of the
gossip nothing but conjecture it is deemed proper
to give the facts they occurred leaving others to
deduce such differences they deem proper right
Notice having been given to suspend the thirty-se-
venth rule, which requires all joint resolutions to lie
over one day, the democratic Senator's had fair
warning given that the motion would be made on
the very first day, when all the wings in their
seats, and not single democrat absent. The wings
had notified them Of their intentions, and what the
democratic Senators might expect the first moment
an opportunity should arrive.
On the Monday preceding, Mr.. Crolus and Mr.
Dart agreed to "par off" and take trip to New
York. MIR. Crolius informed his friends of what he
had done, who Immediately insisted that the pledge
should be dissolved, for they had learned that Mr..
Dart had made arrangements to leave that after
noon The democrats also knew the bargain be-
tween those two honorable gentlemen. Just pre-
yious to Mr.. Darts leaving Mr. Crolius induced
him to relinquish the contract, and Mr.. Dart went
off to New York without advising his friends
of what he had done; and the ignorance Of that
fact caused protracted talk against time of about
fourteen hours. The Geographic dispatch sent by
Lieut. Gov. Church to Mr.. Dart. was deposited in
the Office of Houses line at twenty minutes before
five, and was not delivered to him. in New York,
until quarter of an hour after sixffteen minutes
after the Albany boat left the city. Mr.. d., if he
desires, may settle that matter with the telegraph
company-t Il no business of ours. MIR. Dart, how
ever did not inform his friends that he had received
the dispatch until 10 o'clock, and then did not state
when he could return. IL would have been easy
matter, if il had been thought desirable, to have
chartered locomotive on the New York and New

from Thirty-second street, at seven o'clock, could
have landed him at East Albany at three O'Clock
only an hour after the deed was finally accomplish
ed That would have been done had the reverse
been the case.
Mr.. Brsndreth arrived in season to have prevent
ed the election, although he was not aware of Mr.
Darts absence, presuming that his was the only
seat vacant.
Mr.. senator Brown, during the day and evening.
urged his democratic friends to talk against time
until Dart arrived, If it consumed three days. He
for setting il out-he never would leave
the Senate chamber whilst there was possibility
of preventing an election. Although no public
dcbater himself, he could easily consume two or
three hours time in discussing the financial affairs
In Wall street, OF the prospective importance and
value Of the contemplated city of icrmanvillc on
Long Island. But after all his stirring up the
"animals with his poker" he was not TO be found
within the wall. Of the capitol nor in the "oilice
Of Congress Hall, when the final vote was about to
be taken. At length messenger was dispatched
to his lodgings where the honorable, yigilant Sena-
tor was found firmly embraced in the welcome arms
Of Morpheus! lie returned to the Senate chamber
just in time, like Dr. Bradreth to be moment too
late TO vote.
Such are, in substance the facts relating to this
matter. The only regret which the burners
express, is that the responsibility of the election OF
whig Senator is thrown upon Mr.. Dart, one OF
their order. The hunkcrs console themselves by
asserting that Brandreth and Brown were present
enough TO have preventedit, and more than in
sinuate that Mr. Dart arrived at the capitol just rs
soon he really intended w neither 1t Is 30 or not,
may never be known but one thing Is certain, that

shall be the democratic Senator, viii not enter
into the contest next November w.
