FROM ALBANY.

ALBANY, Thursday, March o, lt9o.
deputatiOn from the Chamber of Commerce OF
New-Yrk appeared tonight before the Committee on
Commerce and Navigation Of the Senate, and the
Committee of Ways and Means of the House, on the
su beet Of the Harbor Commission.
James De Peyster Ogden stated briefly that the OBJ
iect of the deputation to urge on the Legislature
the deep Importance of the question 10 the citizens Of
New.Yoik and the Union at l'rge, and the necessity
that existed for the completion of the work commeaced
by the lla;bOr Commission.
Mr. LYMAN Odell, Chairman Of the House Com
nittee, stated that, although the C0mnttee had re-
ported resolution for the repeal Of the act creating
the Commisson they did not actually contemplate the
immediate adjustment of the Commission, but de-
sired 10 bring up the matter for discussion before the
House. believing as they cid, that the power OF the
Commission, both 10 its existence and business,
were too indefinite and unlimited.
Remark, tending to show the vast importance Of the
Commission to the whole State, as well az to New
York City, were made by Messrs Geo W. Blunt, A.
A. Low, and Moses IL. Grinnel.
The Committee ef the House stated that the re-
marks of the dele cation had Enlightened them on
subjects and the impression made seemed decidedly
favorable 10 the Commission.
Tie Canal Board have made the following appoint
meuts: Levi Bearlsley Collector at 0swego; c. W.
Allen. Collector at Schuylerylle; John Meiggs, In
spcctor. New-lOTk.

impo,ent whenever the people Of Missouri become
disposed to sgtste the Slavery question 70 prevent

In fact that agitation has already begun. IL has
been commcnced BY A,chison and Stringiello"'
who have been engaged for year past II ngin2

uinat.op Of thi. sgiaton, thus begun BY the ad-
irers Of Slavery and the practical advocates OF lis

to the people Of Missouri, but to those OF the who

A. there will be DO want of young men and true,
with bold hearts and strong arms, to 20 upon this
enterprise. 20 We trust there will be no want OF
money. which is at once the sinew OF war and the
stimulus Of peaceful occupations. Tko'e Of Us
who are too old TO 90, or are detained here by H.
disscuble ties or other duties, can freely contribute

tfv men quail fed 70 make good citizens in Kansas.
Aboye all. let there De no lack OF arms, AMI
those Of the most efficient sort. Plenty Of arms
and plenty % men TO use them are the Only guaran-
tee against the massacre and expulsion before the
Summer is over, Of the Free-state mea now in
Kansas. Nothing but their SharP's rifles and their
courage prevented the massacre and expulsion OF
the Lawrence men last Winter.
Though we recommend this armed emigration,
we are friends Of peace, eainently and we hope
ard trust that peace will be preserved; but We see
no oth,r chance # its preservation except in
ulscipg the Free. State men in condition amply 10
defend Themselves With the President By his
repeated messeye and proclamations; with the
Border RUfTians in Congress, aided by the dough
faces, constantly stimulating the rlfHans on the
border TO new OUTRAGE; with the threat Of the
President to employ the regular troops in enforcing
subm ssion to BOrde--Ruiiian legislatiOn-no- hing
can save tie Free-State men Of Kansas from being
shot down as rebels, or hung rs traitors, except
the possession Of such force on the spot as
will make their positi formidable; and still more,
On unmistakeable indication, in the amount OF
.uccor sent from he North, that to attack them
will be to commence a civil war, TO which not
merely the Free-Siate men in Kansas, but the
friends Of Freedom throughout the Union, VIII
be parties. The better Kansas is provided with
arms. the less occasion viii there be TO resort 10
their use.

We have noticed Of late in Southern Journals
many Civilizations over the fact that Southern young
men and women are no longer sent to the North to
be educated as formerly-where they might become
infected with theAbolitiOn principles-but are fully
irdoctrinated with the beauties and amenities
Of slave-holding, at the same time that they re-
ceive 6rstrste literary education in seminaries
established for that purpose at home.
