Here we are-senate, Assembly, lobby reporters Office
seekers and oafcrs of every DESCRIPTION and al other
attendants upon the Iegisalareawatpg the wheels or
government 10 begin to revove but all to no purpose
Yesterday from certain Indications from the SLY winAs
and significant mods about the Assembly Chamber the
republicans began chucEie the prospect OF having
made fuN slonement to the Know Nohngs avoiding
them tho commencement of the session, and they
joyed bright hopes Of succeeding this morning Bat il
seems they reckoned without the cards Everything
was AT again, and pilot with chart or compass
able to bring the Legislative ship in port or into safe
anchorage
Great solemnity prevailed during impressive prayer
by the Rev Mr. Dckson OF the Dutch Reformed church
He stated that tho reason why Speaker elected
account Of wfulness and he impored the
members ia very solemn and impressive manner TO
consider everything for order and organization He i'm
plored the Almighty 70 OBSTINATE which OF these contest
ants for the Speakers chair ought to succeed. The
prayer tuiy eloquent aud filed with plety, but the
sequel showed tnat had not the least effect upon the
hearts conseences Of the wicked sinners who respec
lively adhered throughout the session, 10 their respec
tive candidstes-hessrs Van valkenburgh. Ayord and
'h nw AZ the rnm the Ss s ssoi naSn
levers will continue their triangular warfare without any
further special advice or interference from the good
who daily endesvor 70 inspire brctbery love amongst
the legislative brethren II future prayers have better
effect than the very impressive this morning it
very doubtful whether any Of the legislative sinners Will
become converted during their stay in the moral city Of
Albany for a hundred Gays.
After TWO votes were taken unsuccessful hereto
fore Mr. Mills democrat, Of Suffolk proposed settle the
question IN this msuner viz Mr.. Avord 70 thirty
tive days Mr.. Van Valsenburg forty days and Mr. Law
to preside tor the remainder OF the session giving him
twenty Eve days. This resisted on all hands. Then
two more votes were taken when Mr. Fullerton republ
can, Of Orange, proposed that the candidate receiving a
plurality on the ra vote should be declared Speaker
majority shall not eject ia the meantime This de-
ieated tho republicans who have had the plurality from
the START voting aye and the Know Nothngs and demo-
Gratis Jointly against.
Mr.. Fs'ay republican Of Tompkins, wanted to hold
evening sessions he very well supported in
.he movement. Mr.. Tappan democrat, Of westehester,
advocated special session a: four O'Clock this afternoon
but before he could get vote the proposition Mr. Wcr
sprung trap by roovng an adjournment which
reo Thus ended the tenth day Of the House Of Assembly
for 1855.
The greatest watchfu,ness Is preserved Not ropub
can member gees over to Congress Hall for brandy
pairs off with the vote for Speaker The
vote in every instance close that tue absence for
FIVE minutes Of couple OF members on the same side
might elect Speaker.
