The consultations of the officers of the Mayors
"New-York Citizen Volunteers " resulted last
night in a regular military organization to resist
the laws of the State. The leading spirit in this
ridiculous demonstration is Alderman William
Wilson, whose respect for law needs no encOmium.
They worked themselves into perfect fever of
rage against the Legislature, and vented the most
terrible threats against the State in general and all
"Black Republicans" in particular. If the Mayor
does not look to these gentlemen they may scare
somebody. Perhaps careful perusal of the stat
utes for the punishment of conspiracy to resist the
laws of the State may cool down their dangerous
excitement.

ex.Minister Aquilar was also implicated.

radiance, warmth and beauty-a day fragrant,
bland, copgenial, as earth ever saw or poet
imsgined-is not to be coined into dollars; and
yet its pecuntary value can hardly be over
estimated.
Unbapply, " one swallow does not make Sum-
mer." We Deed many such days to enable our
farmers to bring up the long arrears of their
Spring work. On this 23d day of May, they
should nearly have finished planting in this
latitude; whereas many have scarcely begun 1t.
There is lot half the Spring grain sown this day
that there should and would have been had the
season proved propitious. Millions ofacres are not
yet pOwed simply because the soil has been so
constantly soaked with water since the frost left
it that it either could not be plowed at all, or
blowing would have done II more harm than good.
Many fields have been twice plougbed already, but
soaked by fresh rains before they could be sown,
and are still awaiting the seed. II is entirely too
late now for whsdt-nearly so for any small grain
ard yet oats must be sown or there will be none
to harvest in Autumn. And where the season for
sowing has utterly passed, the area Of Indian
corn, roots &c. must be doubled to make up the
inevitable deficiency.
Should the weather continue fair in the main, the
two next weeks will be busy ones for the
farmers Of all the Free States; for, though the
rains of the last month have doubtless been more
frequent and excessive along the coast than inland,
we believe they have been general and where they
were withheld the weather has been cold. Vegeta-
ton is three weeks behindhand all over the Union,
and teamwork is signally backward. Let the
farmer, then, keep every team at work and hire
every man who can pillow or plant, and for the
ensuing fortnight let the good work Of sowing and
planting be pushed TO the utmost. Better brave
the risk Of frOstbitten corn than invoke the GER
tainty of deficient crop or no crop at all. The
country is unusually destitute of coarse grain and
all descriptions of fodder let every possible effort
be made to fill the yawDing chasm. Gaunt if not
furnished cattle, empty barns, exhausted stores of
every kind, appeals from starving pioneers in the
wild North West, call on the farmers everywhere to
redouble their exertons to increase the supply of
Food. There may or may not be commercial
crash-fabrics may become unstable and profits
turn to osses-but food will be needed whatever
may be dispensed with. Let every farmer resolve
to do his part manfully in increasing the supply of
Food.

We have had occasion to speak more than once

The Excise Commissioners Messrs. Haskell and
Kerr remained in their offices during certain hours
yesterday forenoon, to receive applications and petit
tons for license. Several persons dropped in to make
inquiries about doubtful points of the law, but
nobody wanted to obtain license This results from
the action of the Liquor Dealers Association, which
is understood to have adopted rule binding in honor
on all its members that shall take any steps to
procure license under this law. One Of the persons
who called upon the Commission yesterday suggest
ed construction of the law which is not without in
genuity viz: that the law provides for granting re-
tail licenses to any person'-tO any person sim
gular-but makes no mention of persons in partner
ship. Firms in ehguor business tcould therefore be
eJempt from the necessity Of license.
