refer the various subjects TO the appropriate com
mitteos.
Mr. b. BAILEY moved to strike out the PROPOSE
ton to refer that portion of the Message relating to
Intenperance, Paupersm and Crime to Select Com
mitce. Mr.. B. said that he had noticed by the Pub
lie Pres. that he expected to speak on the Cover
nor's Message this morning Such, however, was not
the case IIe had been surprised that the American
Members here lad not ere this taken up the subject
He was in favor Of striking out that part of the reso-
luton to which his motion referred because he deemed
! due to the Governor and the people. He noticed
that the Governor says that the Prohibitory Law had
been generally observed except in some few instances
where il had not been enforced through the conniy-
ance of certain justices and magistrates. Mr.. Is. did
| not know as he fully acquainted with the law

ing the judicial officers of New York City.
Mr. FOOT said, if he understood the proposition, It
was to not refer this portion Of the Message any COM
mttee whatever because of its supposed disrespect to
judicial officers in the City of New Ork. Mr. +. was
ready TO ADMIT that the Governor had used very strong
language, and yet it stronger than was to be ex-
psated om an honest Executive NaS not the fact,
that, in the City of New-York, from the Mayor down
TO the least Magistrate there had been no earnest effort
made TO carry out and execute the law! He asked II
there was single officer in Newly ork who had shown
| an earnest disposition to execute the law
| Mr. GLONRR answered that the Corporation Alton
new had prosecuted several cases but the Courts over
| ruled them.
MI BAILEY asked the gentleman Mr.. Foot
whose province it pass upon the constitutional
itv of laws-the Governor or the Judiciary
Mr. FOOT-The Judiciary, of course Mr. +. then
referred TO the fact that the Judges in all of the Ju-
dical Districts outside the City of New York, and ex-
ceptng two Judges in the Second District. bad pro-
nounced in favor Of the cOnstituonahty OF the law.
He therefore felt justified in general way III vindi-
eating Oh honest Executive in honest expression,
in respect 10 the fragrant disobedence TO the law IN
New-Iork and other large cities.
