II is probable that our Legislature, tho COM
ing winter, will he exempt from The cxcitcmcnts
and agitations attendant upon tho sessions of
that body during the past few years, in relation
to the conflicting interests of the canals and
railroads. The vast produce business from the
West which has for many months, been taxin,
the capacity Of all tho transportation lines TO
their full st extent, has drawn the attention Of
the public, the canal iorwardcrs, and the rail
road directors and managers, from the contest
which has in times past been wiGrd with so
much warmth and bitterness. Z" The friends of
the cinals, with whose views and purposes we
have been somewhat familiar, We are assured
will not this winter bring forward or press a
pro-raia freight law or an act TO re-imposc tolls
on the railroads. We have convcrscd with some
Of the most active and influential leaders on
party movements, including some newly elected
members Of the Legislature, and are assured by
them that no questions Of this character will DO
permitted to interfere with due consideration of
matters Of Legislation Of n more immediate inn
portancc, or with proper and careful attention to
,he all-absorbing topics connected with the
southern rebellion, and the position and duty of
the state in reference to it,
1t is to he honcd, also, that there will be but
little OCCASION for the professional services of
that too cNtcr i've brood of lobby operators who
have Lccn accustomed to hang around Albany
during the annual sessions, with "grcl. cxpoc-
taions' ofpioirs which are too often realized
at the expense Of the public, or of honest claim
ants. The engagements of the Eric and Oswcgo
canal, are so nearly completed a. to leave but
little to he made by legislation in reference to
pIO.p,ctiyc work. AMI claims for damages grow
ing out oipit contracts will probably be far
Jess numerous than heretofore. 1t has been the
aim of the Canal B,ud and the Canal Commits
sioLcr, to get these adj uscd and settled, as far
as possible, without resort to appeals for Lcgisla.
tive interference, May we not then, anticipate
ihat, as We have now an united people in refer

interest so we may have one Legislature united
in its efforts to TRANSACT the public business hon
