| affairs of The Nec Yark Plots-Passage of their
Resolutions Touching Exhibition of the Deaf
and Dumb Schoiars-Simguiiu Publication Cele-
bration of the 22d, &c.


DEAR SIR


In my last letter it was said that the resolutions
upon the pilot laws, reported by Senator Jones,
would surely pass the Legislature. II may posi-
bly, be that this statement was excusaby errone-
ous The votes Of the democratic Senators were
counted in favor Of the passage OF the resolutions
but already Senators Barlow, Porter and Clarke
have made speeches in opposition to the resolu-
tions and have given notice that they should vote
against them. II is possible, therefore, that with
the aid of our native Senator, the wings and the
no-monopoly democrats, the pilets will be non


suited, so far as our State Legislature is concerned
A savage attack upon Governor Wright has made


its appearance in the Evening Post, which says that
Mr.. Wright has always been on this question Of
the pilot laws, "evidently and deplorably wrong"
gress to allow the pilots OF Savannah and New Or
leans to make their services available at the port
| of New York! Why not? Senator Hard made


capital speech favor Of your pilots, on Friday last
He Isl warm friend Of Gov Wright; was in Congress
with him. If the Governor has always been
this subject "evidenty and deplorably wrong


not only has Senator Hard shared in the error, but


he still persists in refusing TO be enlightened. The
same is the case with Senators Jones, Beers, and
| Johnson, all democrats who have spoken In favor
| of the resolutions. Since this was written, the


pilots have, am glad to say, carried their point by
| vote of IL 10 10.


very Interesting exhibition in favor of the
Deaf and Dumb Institute, of New York, took
| place on Friday evening In the Assembly Cham
| ber which was crowded to its utmost capacity
| with fair ladies' legislators and citizens. General
Wetmore and Mr.. Peet were the conductors OF the
exhibition. Last year an appropriation OF five
| thousand dollars was made by the Legislature, anC

plan to secure or fifteen thousand dollars.
which it is hoped they may get. Were l men,

ever saw, were vastly more effective than the


words of all the superintendents and directors IL

be considered masterstoke ot policy on the part Of

tute-this selection OF two beautiful creatures al

renty pleasing conversation was kept up on varl


ETY. of subjects 1t IS, perhaps, not too much to


that the Influence exerted by these smiling and art


less girls, will be effective than anything els

from the State, to advance and promote the inter

and patriotic corps of adopted citizens. AT eleven

| this address was Its brevlty.

i IN somewhat candestine manner, which pro

religious and secular circles did the Onderdonk

through the Post Office, is causticlv upon the

OF three thousand per annum at the request OF the

The llbelby Implication, contained IN the pamphlet,


has been taken up not by DIR. Campbell, but by some


injudcious friends and members of his church, and


has thus far proceeded to the incarceration of
| worthy and respectable publisher, simply because
| he refused to make known the name of the author.
