Those who wish to enjoy graphic description of
<-,,l~r t,,J; bpf -
what political party they belong, should not fail to
peruse the details OF the proceedings in State AS
semby last Thursday afternoon and yesterday fore
noon, with regard to Mr. D. B. Taylors resolutions
endorsing the inaugural address Of President Pierce.
Tie calling up Of these resolutions after they had for
30 many months lain dormant seems to have thrown
maLy Of the leading barnburners, as well as
some of the wings, into the most indescribable
state of confusion. In the midst of the furme
Speaker Ludlow called a wing member to
the chair and disappeared. As this move
ment appears to have been viewed with sus
pcion by certain outside hunkers the Speaker yes
terday morning felt called upon to explain that he
absensed himself for the purpose of attending meet
ing of tie Board Of Commissioners Of the Land
Office. Very good; but let us see. One or more
harnburners, and one or two wings, positively
fused to vote upon these resolutions, and yet they
escaped being placed in charge Of the Sergeantat
Arms. This is little singular, especially when it is
resolected that during the regular session Mr.
Smith, bunker member from this city, was placed
under arrest for declining to vote. This looks as
though Mr. Taylor was about right when he re-
marked that " the case being altered, that al
tered the case" Yesterday several members
made personal explanations, alleging that they
had been misunderstood in the heat Of excitement,
and consequently were wrongly recorded on the jour
nal falsely reported in the newspapers, &c. Special
complaint was made against editorial article In
the argus, which we give in connection with the
proceedings in order that all sides may have fair
hearing. The hubbub created by the adoption o.
the Taylor resolutions having at length died away
Mr.. Champlin, the barnburner delegate from Ale
gany, introduced resolution approving the doctrine
of the democratic party and the inaugural Of Cen
Pierce. The alleged for this movement, which
created considerable debate, was, that the Taylor
endorsement was not full and broad enough
to satisfy Mr.. G. Now, the question may be asked
how happens it that portion OF the barnburners
who succeeded N keeping Mr.. Taylor's resolutions
80 long in the background, suddenly turn round and
aver that they are not sufficiently strong? What
has produced this curious transition Is it because
that faction really approves the sentiments Of the
inaugural or because the appointments TO office are
satisfactory? While our AssemblyInen have been
wrangng on this subject, we observe that the New
Hampshire House Of Representatives have quietly
adopted resolutions approving the policy Of the ad
ministraton, after having expunged wing amend.
ment declaring that the interests of the country de
manded the acquisition of Canada and Cuba.
Considerable discussion was had in the Assembly
Yesterday upon the articles of impeachment against
Mr. Matber but nothing Of special interest was elicit
ed in the course Of debate. An interesting argument
took place in the Senate between Messrs. Cooley and
Beekman with regard to the merits Of the
proposed Jones' Wood and Central Parks.
While upon this subject, we will correct
an error which appeared in the original
copy, as published in our paper last Thursday Of Mr.
Mobiles bill now awaiting third reading in the As
sensbly. The boundaries Of the Central Park, pro.
posed by Mr.. n, should have read thus: (" In the
