No sooner did the President pro trm of the Senate
aAA the Speaker Of the House declare their respeo
tive houses adjourned si~e oie than the lobby dis
persed, and the men denominsted members Of the
Les'ssAture departed from tho oty with locomotive
sPeed When they convened on the tenth Of June,
1t was stated that they would rem ain only ten days,
"a BY that time all the Unfinished business could be
dHposed Of. But their III lsters knew better-hun-
dreds Of canal claims 10 be settled-many
private corporations Co DC formed, and schemes
OF pei sonal ambition were 10 ne accomplished, Of
which few members at sll cogniz ant. The
lsboy knew we'll the kind of n ,teria of which the
Legislature was composed, and well aware OF
the kind of appliances necessary perfect any de-
sirsb,e object. Instead. therefore, of returning
to their homes in ten days, AS they intended, the
members were kept sweltering in their seats for
thirty-two days, and passed three hundred and
thrtytn-ee laws in addit those Of the regular
session The example Of calling an extra session
wiz be precedent for future occasions; the hun
ared days allowed by the Constitution too speed
Ey consumed, and Whenever any sort Of q pretence
osn be found to justify call II will undoubtedly be
embraced
There have been few whol lssome and necessarv
laws enacted but the larger portion are only such as
the tooby ioungers Induced the members to advo-
cate and vote for The expenditure of money has
been enormous, and srecapifuit of the acts and
resolutions for squadering money upon favorites is
incsedibie, apparently, and would strike the minds
OF the unwAry taxpayer, with perfect astonishment
some two years s,nce q. bgli * was erected at a
coat OF fifty odd Thousand dollars, to accommod
the state Normal School; spd dilapidated has il
already become that suothe' large sum has been
ted tn Eaa from. ,ti,, lo,
reason ID, that the building erected under con-
tract given to political yo ties; the work per-
formed without any competent superinrendenoe. A
large amount has also been paid of the treasury
to erect the House OF leTge, Rochester, but the
building is never likely to be tin shed Year after
year. the Legislature called npon for contribu
tions to complete the edIfce and still the cry is
give, give The Utica Lunatlc Asylum is at length
supposed to have reached degree Of com pletion as
no very eKtravagant sum has been asked during the
session.
Now, the State, under late law, are abou, erect
ing fire proof library building, and the enlarge
ment Of the Capitol in tue rear, in order to give
larger area to the Assembly chamber The sum
of fifty thousand dollars is apart for the purpose
but the people will find, long before their public
library % placed in the coote u plated edfce that
double the amount will be required, if erected un der
the supsrintendence of poliIicians, by political
fayoritss, as it certainly is likely to be- The
amount appropriated is sufficient for commence
me1t, snd architects and builders are al
ready having the job allotted TO them.
Do'o partcs utlu Cductscs I'M ue1lately after the
adjournment. The democ had very short and
imperfect consultation. They agreed, however
not to trouble any person 60 compose any resolu-
tions or address to their constituents and to sepa-
rate as they did in 1850 There is much discretion
Ia this manauvre.
L he wings, at their caucus, expected q hare-up,
but the strength of the abol ltlousts prevented an
eruption. Mr.. Babcock however, drew from his
side pocket q series of resolutions endorsing the
President, Mr.. Clay, Mr. Webster and the com pro-
mise measures of the last Cunyr which he wished
to submit for adoption Although several attempts
had been made during the On, TO give the Pres
dent Legislative endorsement aud on each occa-
son it bad failed, Mr. Baboock thought it was emf
neny Just, proper, and deserving that the caucus
Of the whg members should tender 20 the President
and his cabinet expressiono of appreciation. Mr.. |
NarnVm saw q storm bre Sing, ald With much per- |
suasIon and entreaty, finally induced Mr.. B. to /
withdraw his resolutions ~ the wings, either as |
Legislators or private citizens have separated with
