Correspondence OF The y. L. Tribune
ALBANY, Thursday, April 10, 1856.
"Will there be an Extra Session" That q the
question. The Governor saws there shall not, and
the Legislature says, or has said, there shall be.
The Legislature died in saying there shall be, and
the Governor lives to say there shall not. Thus,
the onnipotent shall stands face TO face with
the inmoyable &" shall not ~ And Destiny looks,
bandaged, into the future.
Now, then, can tell YOU that there will he no
Extra Session. Nothing but an absolute necessity
of State preservation, not anticipated can move
the Governor, and think the Governor is right.
If body of men elected under the Constitution
will not do their duty, the people must see to
eecting better class OF men as their representa-
tiyes. The leaders of the Extra Session men boldly
ayOwed their intention of making that part of the
Constitution which limits their lazy-man's levy on
the public treasury to a hundred days unpopular.
Gov. Clark intends to keep up that restriction,
whether popular or unpopular, TIL the people who
adopted il consent TO repeal it.
The Assembly adjourned in quite belligerent
feeling. They wished to fight the Executive. and
propositions were made to storm the Senate Cham
Der. The leaders of the EXtra-SessOn movement
would neither work during the days they were
paid nor would they consent to let others remain
to work either for paid time or extra time. They
say that the Governor cannot help himself.
He must call us back again, and as an Extra SEES
sion has no limits we shall remain at our dOnOth-
ing labors the other 265 days of the year.
But the Governor has looked at both sides of
the question. He sees that there will be great
and urgent necessity for further legislation. Many
may suffer: the wheels Of government may stop,
but there is one thing more to be dreaded than any
foreseen calamity for want of legislation and that
is calling together again the legislators. They are
pOipg-gone-a bargain, as ToOdles would say, and
the Governor don't want to replevin the article.
Even the prevalent smallpox failed to scare them
awaylt the hundred days expired.
What row that letter of the Governor to so.
Robinson and others" raised. The SOons of the
Assembly, headed by their Speaker, addressed the
Governor, and the Governor answered their adj
dress and then they grew indignant because he
gave them an answer-the only thing they wanted,
or could possibly have eXpected-tO their address !!
They first attempted to dictate to the Governor,
and when he courteOusy Informed Them that he
could not do what they asked, they rave about his
debating to them. The attacks upon the Cover
nor in last night ioray have injured the assailants
only.
There mGy lie an earthquake at Albany this
Summer. but an Extra Session is not at all prob
able.
Will YOU permit me to say word about the
Governors pardonsl You have expressed your
disspprobation of the pardon of DR.. Graham. 1t
is right that the Press should speak its sentiments
on this matter but it is right also that the whole
truth should be known about it. IL was no sud
den or il.cOnsidered yielding TO the opportunities
for his pardon. No one IMMERSED in the urgency
of appeals for pardon can know what fortitude 1t
takes TO resist these appeals. Nothing however,
would have moved the Governor TO grant the par
don had the prisoners health continued. Nor dld
he Weld 10 apy mere rumOr Of sickness. When
the appeal on that score was made 10 him, be sent
confidential friend, skilliul physician, to sing
Sing, to observe and report. Nor was he satsned
with one such observation and report, but again
professional investigation was made, and not until
he was convinced that his sickness was such as 10
call imperatively for Executive clemency was 1t
extended.
We had a considerable display of tar and gun
powder this evening. Some say 1t was for - Per
rvs victory" others say it for Perry defeat.
Betting is brisk yet, and money is freely offered
that Perry will be duly lnaugurattd. | have little
feeling ofpreiereDce for either side. Perry seems
little easier in elocutlon and orthosraphy than
Quackenbush-that's all.
But these Albany politicians are ungrateful tel-
lows. Your CITY Representative of the Sixteenth
and Twentieth Wards voted here on the strength
of Squatter Sovereignty. The Atlas is down upon
him for voting the know-N0thlng ticket, while the
Know Nothing papers are abusing him tor voting
with the Quacks See what little thanks such dis,
interested patriotism receives from an ungrateiul
world
Last night beds, were beds, only such as were
cots. Tonight the wing of sleep has room to
spreaditself l. a solitary stranger, weary OF To-
comotiye railing, and member OF no lobby, neu-
trsl in politics and with no interest in supply Bills
ensconce myself in a room just vacated BY de-
hnnct legislator under the cool assurance that
shall not be disturbed.
