Adjournment of the Legislature. ‘The Legislature adjourned sine die to-day st half-past three o’clock. The hour of 12 was fixed for the final ad- journment; but it became apparent that an extension of the time was necessary, and it accordingly was extended to two o’clock. About fifty bills, some important, but nearly all pri- vate and local bills, remain unacted upon, I herewith transmit the titles of the several bills which have passed at the extra session.

He continued to speak till two o'clock, with a view ofstaving off the re- solution of thanks. At two o'clock ing up into the chamber where the Court are held, succeeded in turning the hands of the clock back quarter ofan hour.

Mr Tacorr said he supposed that this caucus was called for the purpose of hearing the repert of the com- mittee who were appointed to prepare resolutions to the democratic electors of the State; he moved that the committee be instructed to present their address and resolutions. Mr. Joses intimated that the State convention called at Utica in February next, to appoint delegates to the national convention at Baltimore, bad been called at a period which was too early for the convenience of the democracy of the State. He hoped that this State con- vention would be called at some later and more con’ nieat day.

Another member called for a division of the question. Mr. Cuanx, of the Senate, enquired of the Chalrman id letter of the Committee, whether’ the address and resolutions were unanimously concurred in by the committee. Mr. Beexsan replied affirmative Mr, Lanvon, (one of the committee.) intimated to Mr B., that he hai hjected to the resolution relationg to very. UHAIRMAN then stated the question to be upon the adoption of the address. Mr. Sickces said he approved of the address generally, but there were some parts of it which he did not ap- prove; it artfully, but decidedly, endorsed and approved the principle embodied in the Wilmot proviso; the com- mittee must have been perfectly aware that a considera- ble portion of the democratic party were unalterably op- posed to the agitation of the question of slavery. Col. Yeunc—In this State, sir? Mr. Sickeis—Yes, air, the demooratic party in this State. Mr. % also objected to the address, upon other grounds—upon grounds relating to the origin of the war with Mexico; he denounced the allusion to this subject in the address, as @ eatire,and @ slur upon our cause. Im eonclusion, he remarked, that under the circum- stances, he felt bound to offer a substitute to the addi and resolutions just presented and read by the chi man of the cominittee regularly appointed to prepare a1 address and resolutios uggestion. for the purpese of al- iggestion. Mr. Youno said it was very apparent that we could not agree upon an address and resolutions which would be signed by all; he did not believe that if the addre and resolutions, just read, were adopted by a majority, they would be signed by all. It would, therefore, be a mere waste of time to attempt to aggree; matters of principle were at stake, and it was impossible to agree. He hoped, therefore, that the members of the caucus would be allowed to siga either address, without reter- ence to the adoption of either by the caucus. Mr. Young was then interrupted by Mr. Sickles, who claimed the Mr. Youna refused to yield the floor, and the gentle- men last named, commenced talking at the same mo- ment. Gi t confusion prevailed. Mr. Crane rose to a questionof order; several other gentlemen rose to ques- tions of order, The chair decided that Mr. Sickles had the floor, ox- cept 80 far as he chose voluntarily to yield it. Mr. Youna appealed trom the decision of the chair, but qualified his appeal with the remark that if the ebair had made such a decisionon the ground that Mr. Siokles had not concluded his speech, would with. draw it. But he supposed that Mr. 8. bad concluded his speech, and had offered a substitute to the address which had just been read. An sabeneribele and undignified seene of confusion ensued. Mr. Lestar suggested that if the members of the caucus would mot conduet themselves like gentlemen and democrats, they had better adjourn. Mr. Sicues was then permitted to read the conserva- tive address and resolutions. He did not begin, how- ever, until a radical democrat rose and declared that they were written by Edwin Croswell and Gen. Stryker, (l think bis name was ) Mr. Sicx.es pronounced the assertion a falsehood. The addrees of the conservatives, as read by Mr. Sick- les, was a cold, bloodless, and heartless paper. Ido not believe there was a line in it dictated by motives of patriotism and purity. ‘The writer was evidently an able man, but an icy and soulless depositary of foul and vindictive feelings. It is not in my power to furnish» copy of this extraordinary conservatsve address. ‘The following are the coaservative resolutions which were presented to the caucus by Mr. Siokles, after he had concluded the reading of the address. Resolved, That next to the intelligence of the peopte, and their adherence to just principies of government, we owe to the democratic party, its principles, usages, and measures, the signal success which has characterized our progress im State government; that in the war of the revolution—in the war of 1812—the reforms of the con- stitution of 1921—through all the period of our internal improvements—in the completion and successful opera- tion 01 those great works—in the conflict waged by the patriot Jeckson against the designs and efforts ef a gigan- tic monied power—in all the measures to perfect and maintain a sound financial policy in the State govern- ment—for the resuscitation of our financial credit when prostrated by whig misrule and whig excess—and for the recent constitutional provisions which protect the peo- ple against the evils of debt and taxation—we recognise the sound course and patriotio efforts of that party. Resolved, That we regard the union of the demubratic party, and the restoration of its ascendancy in the State government, as éRsential tothe permanent weil-being of the State; and that we are prepared to make all proper sacrifices of personal feeling to effect that great object. Resolved, That next to ite principles, we regard a strict adhevence to the usages of the democratic party, aa the most effective meaas of restoring its ascendency; and that we firmly bel! approach this object in a conciliatory and forbearing spirit, our recent political defeat will be temporary. Resolved, That we repose full confidence in the pre- sent national administration—that, in our judgment, it has adhered with fidelity to the constitutional principles whieh form the basis of our government, aad which are best adapted to perpetuate and extend ite blessings; that the measures on which it has placed itself before the American people, are eminently deserving their support, and will redound to their lasting welfare; and that we yield to them a cordial and earnest support. Resolved, That we allute especially to the policy which rasists the creation of a national bank, and which has effected th tablisbment of an inpep: sury, and the passage of the present tariff act; the lat- ter two having gone into full and practical oper and both having fulfiiled the highest expeotatio their friends; and that while the one protects thé go- veroment from lose,and has prevented, io a period of speculation, the excesses and inflation, and consequent embarrassment and depression, which must have fol- lowed the use of the public money by the bank: other has justified the estimate and anticipations of its value, not only by the increased revenues of the govern- iment, but in promoting the stability and prosperity of our manufecturing and industrial interests. Reaolved, That itis alike the dictate of duty and of patriotism to give to the government of our country, at all times, a fair and honest support; that it becomes an imperative Joe, oan to do so at a period of war, in whieh the rights, the or, and the interests of the nation are involved; and that so regarding the attitude in which our own government stands towards that of Mexico, wa will adhere to our country and its administration with our best efforts and energies. Resolved, That, in our judgment, the reeent annual meseage of President Polk presents not only all the affairs of Ourown government with great force, clearness and truth, but that it places the origin and progress of the war with Mexioo upon grounds which—impregaabie in themselves—will receive the warm approval and earnest support of every American patriot. esolved, That standing upon the issue presented by the last matior mvention, we regard the annexation of T ry t American measure,” ratified by the American people, in the election of James K. Polk, and George M Dalias—eminently right and national in iteelf—perfectly competent on the part of Texas, as an independeat suvereiguty, to seek admission into our Union, while we were fuliy authorized, on our part, to receive such an addition to our confederation of States, without affording any just ground or even a plausible pretext on the part of Mexico, for commencing a» war, invading the territory forming a part of this Union, shedding American blood on American soil; that *% war so commeneed by « nation so long, an aggres. sor in other respects, and for #0 many years, is just, na- tiohal and unavoidable on the part of this country, and will be sustained and carried to # triumphant result, of which the brilliant deeds and unparalleled victories of our army are the glorious precursors. Resolved. T' in the prosecution of this war, the renown of our arms ia oni (Ben pose! by the humanity of our soldiery and the liberality of our goveroment. manifested in its repeated offers of generous terms of peace—that those terms, which look not to the conquest of Mexico, but to honorable and just indemnity, are such a8 must cunvince all impartial men of the inherent justice of our cause, and that it will not only be main- tained by the armas, but confirmed by the judgment, of the American nation.
