eys. Sc. &c.
Excitement still reigns in the Legislature. Yes
tcrday, in the Senate, Gen. Chamberlain, Of Ale
gany had presented, through friendly Senator, q
series of resolutions statements and afidavits deny
ing that he ever attempted to bride the Attorney
General in order to obtain his influence for contract,
or that he ever said anything in relation to placing
one thousand dollar bill in his path or put in ope-
ration any other delicate process Of attracting his
favorable attention. The aflidavits, Sc, were re-
,eyed by the Senate as mere matter Of form, al
though the slightest attention is paid to the Ge
reraPs statement. Senator Bristol was in favor Of
placing the communication before the Senate, and
made a few remarks to that effect. 1t was oven
tuay laid upon the table,
A communication received from M. Kossuth,
stating in reply invitation from the Legislature
10 visit this city. and which was transmitted to St.
Louis, through Colonel Spencer $. Benedict, of Co
vernon Hunts stat, that he considers it almost
impossible for him to visit Albany during the Ses-
sion Of the Legislature, (Which will close the 9th
Of April) but that he hopes to pay his respects to
His Excellcncy, before returning to fight the battles
Of bis country. NJ. Kossuth don't appear to be
particularly popular Mt the South. In this place he

gument viii be resumed, and it is supposed Hatch of
Buffalo, and Walsh of New York, will show up a
pretty Of corruption, in such way that he
who runs may read. The democratic members of

nations to Office. &c. Without making any nomi-
nations, however, they adjourned for three weeks.
] believe it is generally understood there is to be
clean sweep Of all the opposition. The democrats

/ the police law went into operation, had shown
| any sort of disposition not to make it party mat
ter they would have necessarily, placed the demo-
crats in such position that they could not with
any claim to fairness have removed the entire force
! (as they intend to do); but would have retained
those tno matter what their party predilections)
worthy Of retention and acted as they intend TO act
for the best interests of tho city. The gentlemen
