The Legislature of 1855—Its Deeds, Misdeeds and Omis. sions, The sasem bling of the Legislature of this State on the firet of January last, was a ma‘ter of mus) speculation, calculation and observation among the people, It was not absolutely certain that either of the three politisal parties had ihe ascendancy in either House. It was not belleved that all the newly elected Senators claimed by the black Sewardites would surrender their former po- jitical principies merely for @ seat in that body; and it was claimed as certain that one Senator, elecied b7 the Know Nothings, and pledged to their faith and princ'. ples, wou!d adhere steadfastly to the party which secured bim his aeat. But upom the first trial of strength, a majority of the Senate knelt before the alter of nigger worshippers, and have there remained the most abjeci and subservient toos of Thurlow Weed In every in- starce where their votes were required they most readi- ly bowed down before the great Mogul, and submitted aike doves to bis imperious behests, The House of Assembly was nearly equally divided tn triangular parts - the democrats, Know Nothinge and niggerites being of nearly «quel strength. The former, however, split in twain, rendering their streng‘h infertor to eivher of the cther fac fons. The contest for Speaker was fierce, determiced aud relent'ess. Three weeks wore spent in fruitless effort, Neitver party would yield, neither would compromise, neither woul capi‘ulat The Know Noihicge polling tne united largnat vote, bo rg of their plareiity, demanded the Speaker. fhe de- muocrats asserted that they held » plurality, if brougit togerb Bo after an unprecedented comvest for three weeks, the nigger worsbippers finally sunk their identiry and wert over to the demccrata, electing Mr. Robinson Spesker. "Zhe. @aagonscl tarieay “eure Atium:throwa down, and from that jericd there bas acarcely been any discussion upon poiitical topics. Ibis ia acsounted for, from the fact, that the leaders well knew their inabtiity to carry tbrough apy scheme of a purty political character. Members arpeared to devote themselves to business which bad no influence in drawing party lines. The rurivess of the session haa oven purely ef loca! and personal in'erest. Very few measures of public im- portaxce or necessity baveés ployed ruh tire, An in- dustrious iobby ree sth moled. Handieds of claimy against the State, which bad been over and over again re- jected, were revived. and largely increased in amount. Being # pew Sena'¢ and Houre. and nouily ali the mem. dera urp-actised in tve exp'oite of the loopy, they very gererally litt ned with favor to the importuntties of che etur¢y snd impertinent bosgars, Consequently, more claim biils were introduced, both bosses, than have been known lor many sessions.

A majority of bills of such @ character as required any consideration were e'tner regiected or defeated. Among these are the tem- perarce cr license questions, public health at quaran- tires, security of deposits in’ Savirgs Banks, New York city charter, relating to distrist courts in Ne« York, to ergen‘ze an Engineer's Department, preventing iilege! votirg in New York, and afew others. Publisacts which were passed, and those for the support of government, regulating apd distributing caval monies, ¢staolishing water lives in New York harbor, reguiation and govern- ment of Mambattan Bank, authorizing Stuckoridge Indi- ane to bring suits for recovery of lands, reorganizing j3e- nate and Jucicial districts, apportioning members of As- sembly, New York tax bill, authorizing the erection of » budge at Albany, and a very few others ot minor impor- tance. There were eight hundred and seventy bills introduced in both houses, about an equal number in eash branch of the Legislature. Sever-eighths ot them were of a pure: ly private aud local charac er, ccnsisting mainly in canal Claims, for caval bridges, plank roads, extendiog time for cotlectitg taxes. road and sch: ol districts, amending vil- Inge charters, insurance companies, anc various portione ot the revised #'atu'es; repeal: g laws of previous L+gisla- tures. Nine-tenths of the time has been spent in consider: ing marters demanded by the lobby, of a private and I:cal naiure. A proposition was submitted to institute a board of cla ma, similar to that under the general go7e-pment ard ought to bave been adopted. Tn compatiaen wi'h the laat this has been a harmonious section, Very few questions were presented oslculated to srouse political or other passions. The coastitution of both houres r absurd, an the triangw [ouse, and the doubtful repub’ican majcrity in the Senaze, forbid any of the politicel kot heacs from ventaring to throw anv fire- brands therein. Very few Bbuncombe spteches made, ud no bill or proposition consumed acy uur able length of tim Had there been ats Rbnras, of either politics! par epent in discussing Hearagua, Frank Pie:ce. George Law, Millard Fillmore, and all the piggerisms of the '. Nine tenths of the senators were merely vo.iog mem bers. None, with the exception of Sicklex and Broobs, ‘were very greatly effilcted with the coacthus loquandi, altbeogh Messrs. Madden, Jason Smith, Remaay, Las, Patterson and Hale were ready for short dicussion. Mr. Wacewortl, of Buffalo, is evi'ently the man of most aot lity; acd pow, ince be bas entered political life, we can discover no reason why his cemooratis friends cai no’ use him successfully in the future. Tuke ibe Sena altrge ber. it may be ranked as quite as conservative a body an the present degenerate times rill «dmit. Toe solid talent in either house is «f an extremely in’erior quality. In the Assembly there were such men es Nosthrop, Snow, Wakeman and Hyde, wh may ve coneldered excelent rtomp orators, but their capacit; will never place them in the rank of aoe men. Odell, Prencott, B, Paily snd Van Santvoord are among the mai shrewd and iced leaders; aod rom their caution 10 abstaining from long speeches generally succeeded in their efforts, Speaker Robinson, thc ugh an am‘abe gen- tleman and t lerable preriding cfficer, nas no pretensions to atatermanrhip.
