DovER, March 9th, 1863.
The indications are tlat this will h,
tne last week OF the sitting of our Legislature. Al
least ior some time, for have no idea that tb,
body VIII adjourn sine die. They will have bcen
here ten weeks at the end of this at a p,obobI 600,
OF about one hundred and twenty dollars ncr 4 =,
ana now, looking back, we can see NJ, r,,d 70 50,
why they could not have adjourned three d,v> ar,r
the inauguration. Less bills have been pass,d :,
VIC have been informed, than we're passed ., ~,
special session, last year in fact, lop off the ;v,r
bills and there would not be enongh Irfi 70 Fr, . -
ume ior publication. Persons will very n,,nr,u,
ASK "hy 90 they not adjourn and 60 home, then 2
Ihey say they are waiting the Investigating
Committee; that as soon that is through they nre
ready to go home. Taking this admission as tru.
is but right IN estimating the expense the State
is put to by this Committee 10 count the ,yh,o ~
penses for the last month at least of the Lrrxl,t,
since 1t is the cause, and the alone cause Of ,b m
tinued session of that body.
A 10" estimate would make, at the least calcnl,.
tlon' SIX thousand dollars as the cost to the State r
this Committeeman for what purpose7 Tbcv ,r..
Just where they sat out. They known now ms,
what any ono who knew would have wili;poI,, ,,,
nnhesItatingly told them, and not one ;o,o ,,or.
lhey promised to bring 10 light enormous, hcinop.
crlmes-crlmes, the proof of which CHARGED lo,n,
on the guilty parties, would forever damn cvs,v ,o,,
III The least degree connected with their nernatr,;
Ihey asserted these things confidently and h,l,j,
ano 70 make sure of their purposes, made a Com.
n''''ce oi such partzln, one.sded charactcr thu,
thelr own men daily denounced the unf,irposs f ;,
and yet what have they accomplished. HAY, tho,
proved to the people to themselves wba, tboy
promised Every knows the answer Vorr
recently gentleman, considered sound in the laitI,
OF Democracy ~ admitted to us, in conversation
upon the subject, that 81 the whole thing was con
plete farce.
You sec, sir that the State is 10 be put TO the er
pense of six thousand dollars in the vain at,rn,n, 70
make political capital for Willard We are inclined
TO THINK that The Bayardes have, as general tbing
no favorable opinion of this affair and for some time
we have thought that if ever we were So pnfor
pnate as TO become insane and turn I,ocoE,co ma {
would pray that our insanity might take R,r,,d
'At"'r tnan SALISBURY direction. He (Bayard) is G
tar aOer' and we believe a far better man than the
ther. '"' L
he special message of Governor Cannon, last
'eek' was sad blow TO their hopes. 1t took them
h'ireiy by surprise, and of them were so ,d Il
nth rage and disappointment that they could with "
iihcuity keep themselves from bursting They had c.
'~n'y hoped they had made our State refuge for
urSecuted and d"wntrudden patriots, and that here
n'er the protecting shield of tleI law, they could
on'1 forth their treason and launch forth their def
nee to the Government. Their hopes are given to
le wind by this message. They already find GOV.
anhon great Inconvenience, and VIC predict he
NJ be constantly in their way whenever they again a.
tempt to run tilt against the loyal sentiment of N,
is State of course they dcnounce it as an arbi.
airy and tyranical exercise of the executive power.
expect they will denounee every interruption to
cir HeasOuable schemes. Most of their denonc;. G.
ms have no better foundation.
