ALLEGED CORRUPTIos.
Mr.. Provost rose TO a question OF privilege in the
Assembly this morning, and after reading from one
Of your city journals the remarkable speech of AID
Brady wherein he mentioned having purchased
former Legislature OF this State Tor $4,000, anc in-
tmated that the present Legislature were put-
chasable be sent up to the Speakers desk re-
solution for the appointment of special Committee.
with power to send for persons aud papers 10 in-
wee tigate the charges OF the Alderman.
Mr. Loulrel OF New.York thought that nothing
that AID Brady should say about the Legislature
was of the slightest importance, and that 70 take
any action in the premises would he TO give Brady
AN import ance which he does not deserve. Mr.
Smith of New-York took the same view Of The Gaze,
and moved that the resolution do lie on the table;
but Mr. Pierce desiring To speak Oh the subject, Dir.
smiths motion was Withdrawn.
MIR. Pierce sail-It has got TO he the conviciou
of very many men of Judgment and sense Ia the
State Of New-iork, that our Democratic NJ.
