Since the contest for United States Senstor il
the Legislature has been decided there has been NJ
attempt made in the House OF Assembly, 10 adopt
any resolutions Of national character. The various
series offered ut an early stage Of the sessioa by
Mr.. Anthem, Mr.. Thompson, Mr.. varnum, or Mr..
Underwood, have mot recently been disturbed al
though previous to the settlement Of the Senator
question, almost every day some one or other Of
those gentlemen made constant efforts to cxhnme
them from the tomb Of the Judiciary Committee,
where they were consigned All those resolutions
were purposely placed in keeping Of that commit
tee, TO be smothered, which they have been most
edectuslly. They never will see resurrection day.
1t was SO decreed a. the outset.
Mr.. Anthem has bit upon another scheme by
which he intends to test the sincerity Of the Seward
woolleys in their protested faith in the national
administration. This morning he introduced a
joint resolution, rendering to the Hon. Daniel Web-
ster the Inequalities Of the State, as follows-
Whereas the Legislature Of the state Of New York
have been appriscd Of the intention OF Daniel Webster
Secretary OF State OF the United States to visit the
Of New York at an early da and
Whereas the course pursued by that distinguished
statesman has justly endeared him to all who love the
mon ne the source Of our prosperity in the past and
the groundwork Of our hope in the future, and TO all
union therefore,
Resolved III the Senate concur) That the Governor be
respectfully requested to tender to the said Hon Daniel
Webster the Inequalities Of this State and invite him
TO visit the capital thereof.
Resolved Of the Senate concur That joint committee
of four from the Senate and Assembly be appointed to
act with the Governor in carrying the above resolution
into ei,c
lie assumes that Mr.. Webster intends to visit
this state, but there Is evidence in the possession
Of the Legislature that he will visit any portion of
the State, but PASS through the city on his way to
Narsheld. lie is not in condition to visit the capt.
tai and partake of the Inequalities which Mr. An
thon desires to tender to him. His recent efforts at
Harrisburg oyorcame him much, that he has
been compelled to tarry two three days in Phla-
dclphia and New York, on account of Illness be-
fore he could proceed on his journey eastward and
a. there is no probability that Mr.. Webster will
undertake to visit the capital of the State previous
to the adjournment Of the Legislature it is possible
that tho resolutions quoted above, are intended only
complimentary to the Secretary of Statc-the
In ain pillar in Mr.. Fillnore's administration.
Mr.. Anthem. is in reality, the only fearless friend
Of the national admin :tration in the Legislature.
lie has manifested manly courage during the
whole session; and whilst Farnum and his squad
in the House. and Bahcock, and Owen and Beck
man i'll the Senate, have be compelled to succomb
to Sewardism, Mr.. Anthem has firmly maintained
the position which Re assumed at the commence
meni of the session. We say, MIR. Beekman has
recedcd from his position, although many doubt his
sincerity in opposing the Seward candidate for Scti-
ator, on account Of his supposed principles. Mr..
tcekinaD together Win VII. babcOck ana owen,
sent special secret agent On member of the House,
to ascertain from Governor Fish his views on the
compromise matters Mr. Fish would not condos
cendt reply to their ncrrogations, and turned his
back upon the messenger dcputed by those three
honorable Senator's He would not return any an
swer, saying rs much to those inquisitve gentle
men, rs "yote for whom you choose for Senators,
you'll obtain no pledges from me-" From Mr.. Beck
mans intimate acquaintance with the Ex-Governor,
he ought to have been aware that he never would
enter the Threshold Of the United States Senate
| chamber cramped with pledge Of any character
| His uniform since he had entered the arena
| Of politics, was guarantee sufficient that he
| sound whig; and that il all that Mr.. Bcckman or
any other man Of ordinary political sagac-
ity should have ventured to enquire into. Mr..
Beekmans opposition to Mr.. Fish was based on
the fact that Mr. Fish treatedvhis iDterog tories
with perfect contempt. Mr.. b. Senator from
locoioco district (of which he has often
boasted,) and high minded gentleman, could not
brook Governor Fish's insoleuce-hence his contn-
done a. a national administration man; he has, since
that period, voted and acted with, and spoken for
the woody heads in dozen instances. and will con-
tinue 10 do so to the end Of his present senatorial
career.
But to the Webster invitation. On Monday, Mr..
Anthems resolutions will probably be taken up and
adopted, rs they smoothly couched that no par
tcular offence is given to the Seward majority in
either branch Of the Legislature. And from the
certainty that Mr. Webster will be unable to re-
cruit his system at Marshfeld sufficiently to make a
speech here at the Capitol, before the day Of ad-
journment (he l9th,) the preamble, resolution
and all, may be adopted, rs the easiest manner VI
disposing Of the subject. W.
