 TAs License LGsO-srhoG is to be done 2--This is . question which We have heard frequently repeated within the last two or three weeks-anG almost as variousy answered as have been the characters of the persons to whom the question was prorounded.- Some are for continuing the nciOn under the law az it now s-others for restraining the sale ofsptous liquors nltogether-ohers for placing the town as it previous to the passage of the resolution of last year licensing every body-and others are for impo- sing heavy tax in the way of license-say from s to S25. With these different views and various oaH- which might he mentioned, how is the matter to he regulated Some have asked ua, why not open your columns to the discussion To which we have uniformly replied that columns were wide open- that we not only willing but solictons for full and free and candid discussion-not that discussion which consists in bandying epithets and calling ba,ans hard names but characterized by the courte. sies which one gentleman is accustomed to yield to, another in social Efe Such discussion. we should have been glad to have presented to the pubic. But one has taken up for against any parti- culur measure, we trust fellOw citizens will on Monday next come together men desirous to pro- mote te hest interests of the town, and act accord. ngly. That the action of last year has not had rery beneficial influence, every ore eunveEsane with our village must bear witness.

 The impression seems to prevail among some of the whig papers thai thn vacancy accustomed by the death of Hon. Felix Grundy, of Tennessee, wifi Be filled by whig. Not so. however, probably. The

 Legislature of Tennessee IS chosen biennally instead ef annually; and it is now decidedly Van Buren, Ofcourse, should it he convened make the choice, t would be favorable to Van Buren, unless the recent expression of public OpinoHn favor of Gen Harrison should operate against it. The probability is the Governor will make tRe appointment. so until the legislature ogetRer. Gen. Carroll is SUD- rHNed wi be the fortunate man.

 In the death of Mir. Grundy. the '. B. party have lost of its ahlest, most efecvc most vir.uous, and most popular eaders-a man who in all the rcla- aio,s of life has stood very high n public estimation We have believed that he, instead oG Van Buren, or Beh'on, or Calhoun. would have been selected as the candidate of that party for President the successor Of Gen. Harrison. But-tke clods covcy his cold re- mains; and who now stands highest in the es,iima- GioT of the party. it is difficult to determine. x.

 The Lreislofure of Nsp. York was to commence its Session Tuesday last. As the parties in the lower house of the legislature neatly Halaneed it is by some apprehended there may be stormy session. that the Van Buren party will endeavor to throw all manner of obstacles in the way of the whg sdmni. aralon-tha they wl, under their former ialSe plea of "retrenchment and reform" attempt to undo what sho true policy of the state hss long haen engaged in rcaring-the system Of internal improvement By ca. nals and rail roads-nnd that to effect it they will strive so array section of the against iher-ihe southern tier of counties against te nor- ern and cenire-and the western section against the city. We have reason te believe. however, that all ,heirefsrts wil prove fruces-,hat though the whig party may differ to the policy of some of their sures. party they will adhere to each other in a their fer the benefit of the state and that in the party appointments ihcre will not be witnessed halS of the bickerings and heartburn inss they have been accustomed 10 see in the ranks of their opponents.

He Is not man t0 shriuk from responsblity-he m i~ gaet just such chief magistrate the good of such great sase reqnires-prudens. independent, and energetic.

 THe Massachusetts Legislatare also commences it's session this week It will have probably, indepen- dent Of its usual besiness, electstwo Senators Congress-one in place of Mir. Davis. who has been chosen Governor Of the state, and in place of Mir Webster who appears to be understood. is to occu. py the first station in the Cabinet of Gen. Harison.- We trust sycophant to power. like MT. Lincoln, will be chosen.

 IfHmbws to thc lasG-The Poughkcrpsie Eagle thus remarks upon the Iates, humbug of Col. Benton for the imposition O( a tax upon bank notes under S9O for the purpose of driving them out of circulation:

 The truth of an old prOverb which says the pre- vaing passion is strong in death" most striking Iy illustrated at Washington last week. As con- clading humbng for the expiring administration. Col Benton submitted proposition 10 impose q sar oN bank notes "a circulation, of the denomination of $9O and under. The movement which at first view is almost unaccountable when the ground the ndmints- iration stands on is considered. manifestly arises from that old rabid desire for specie circulation, and the suppression of bank paper. which had it's origin during the impositons of Jacksons administration.

 "After making several attempts get up a discus sion oi the singular proposal and the propnety of sup pressing all notes under s9O. even under SiOO the Colonel found his met with so little favor that he obliged to appeal to the courtesy of the Senate in order withdraw it. more hold plan to interfere with the rights of the states was never fosm- ed in this country. .....
