Mr. Doves, (opp.) of TIL, said the gentleman had un- dertaken to how inconsist-ncy on my part. This 1s not we. Along with the power of Congress granted by tho eonstitution is that of admitting mew States.

Where did the Senator the right ¢ 4 military road anywhere except from the war If he gets it under the war power, it upplies as ‘Territories as to States—it applies overywhore in domain of the United States of America. So far a8 powers are concerned in the constitution, ly to the Territories as well as to the States. The raise revenue and coin money for States and fe everywhere alike. It also establishes ‘of naturalization, punishment of counterfeiting, Senator to show me where he gots greater to making a railroad. Whore does he get the make a Territory that he admits? Where to? He must goto the war power, or under commerce, or under that of the mail, or under fic grant of the constitution. From which be obtain power to make a railroad Territory. If he will show me the ground him to make a railroad gt iebbong d) I show bim the same ground that authorizes hun do 20 in a State. It will apply everywhere throughoot America—State and Territory alike. only thing Con- is authorized to do for a Territory that is aut for a State, is when it applies for adimiasion as a new State to admit or reject her. We might either assume that the right to build a railroad is necessary for the = defence, —_ execution of come one of 7 dele- powers in constitution, otherwise we have no vight to make it. It is a bil! authorizing a contract ‘made for the transportation of troops, munitions of war, ‘Ravy supplies and the mail. I suppose we have aright te contruct for the transportation of the mati in the ‘as well as the Territories. It often happens when we make a contract far the government transportation that it wires the mode of conveyance specified in contrect. At an carly it was the custom say whether the mail was to be carried in a four horse peat cach, with certain guards for protection. Would an doubt the right to make a contrast to convey tl from Richmond to Washington, and state whether ‘the. contract was to be performed with a four horse @osth or the contractor to furnish his own Rorses? So with the contract for the transportation of the mail from Mobile to New Orleans, or New York, wia Panama, to San Francisco, by steamers built in a par- @icular form and model, or on a particular principle, and for whieb we pay so much. When we make a contract to | with George Law, Roberts, or other steam- Boat men, we are not contracting for the construction @f steamers, Dut the transportation of the mail by steamers of u particular model, the contractor to furnish own steamers. So for a contract for the transporta- tion of the mail to the western borders of Missouri and ‘Fexas to the Pacific coust by railroad, and the contractorsto furnish their own road. This is a mere contract for tation, and in the contract we propose the 5 dl AL fait gE 3 if f i z cata i transportation shall be done in a particu. manner by a particular kind of convey- -anoe. This is no new privciple of our government. ‘Bhere seems to be an impreseion that there i8 a specitied power in the States, but omnipotent in the Territories I @eny that it is omnipotent anywhero.

The firet phase of the revolution of November? was peaceful in form, the secort phase was the seceasion of several States of the confederacy. The mode adopted by the Southern States to assert their rights, and to avoit the grievances which they éreaded, and of Ming against the revolotion of November— he mode by which they pre posed to escape from the consequences of that revoln- tion upon themselves. There were, no doubt, other reme- dies 0 w them. Suppose-they bad dete: mined to re- port to every Parliamentary stratagem to cut off aupplies.. ‘They could have done 80 cOnstitutiona ly, and their adop tion of this remedy would be destructive to the govera ment. Wuthout supplies the ,overument could vot bave existed. But the South “did not resort to this remedy. Another remedy, within the constitution, was @ revolution between the States—a restriction of all in tercourse—a restriction on trade. This would have been equally destructive to the government. A toird remedy would bave been the withdrawal of all the South. em representatives from both brapcbes of Congess, and for want of @ constitutional quorum, the election of ident would have been rentered constitutionally im poesible. A fourth remedy would have been for the Sputhern States to have occupied by emigration such por- Uons of the Territories as they might have thought most shitable for their occupation and moat nécessary to their interests, and protected there their property by force of arms. This would be fighting within the Union; and, haying poss ssion, it would be a legiumate remedy. And yet it would be fatal to the government. This course might have been less exceptionable and less likely to lead to civil war, and one which has been heretofore resorted (o by people determined to effect a revolution in the form and cha:acter of a government. Now it was a question for consideration whether the precipitate action of Souch Carolina bad not changed the original character of the 8810n wovement, und it was yet to be seen whetuer or not, by their ference with the forts aud arsena’s, navy yards, custom houses and other property of the confederacy, they have not committed a fatal error in the developement of their policy, and whether they hay not themseives reeorted to that species of force au ercion which they had so wisely and properly deprecats im defence of their first strictly seceasion proceedings, It had never entered into the minds of the tramers of the constitution that the federal government, through any of its instruments, should employ force to compel the action of apy sovereign State. Forge brought to bear by the federal government upon the seceding States would re. sult in ap appeal for aid and protection and alliance with any Power that might be found willing to jom the weuker side; and then they would see armies avd pavies transported to their shores, and foreign Powers would be made the arbiters of the destiny of the United States. History taught that the inevitable result of foreign interference was the subversion of the people calling upon their aid. This lesson of history ‘ought not to be forgotten by the American peopie. But there was no foreign interference. The conservative policy of the country was a recognition of the equ Tights of the South without ification, and nopinter- ference with the institution of slavery where it existed, and a recognition of their right to go with their slave Rose into the common territories of the country. hese rights recognized and acted upon would be a just aud conciliatory Horr Another remedy, peculiar to any party, but which was vainly demanded, was the enforcement of the laws. That, indeed, would be de- sirable—that was a solemn duty, necessary perhaps to the very existence of the government, becauge without the enforcement of the laws the Union could not wvnunue, But that remedy did not moet tho existing state of things. 'y could not, under any provision of the constitution, enforce the Jaw against a seceding State. The law was applica- ble to individuals, and to enforce the law against the in- dividual you must haye judges and juries, and you must proceed against him, according to the constitution, in the State where the crime was committed, It was clear, therefore, that they could not enforce the law agwinet an individual in South Carolina, for no jury would bring in a verdict of guilty upon any indictment found at this junc- ture and under itcircumstances. It wastrue, there was @ general demand for the enforcement of the |, bat however true ag an abstraction, however necessary at all times and imperative it might be on the government to enforce them, it was now impracticable and impossible, ag well as wholly unsuited to the occasion. ‘question then was, what was the duty of the administration and of Congress? It was one of pacification and reconstruc. tion; a duty which must undoubtedly be committed to the next administration and the country must therefore await an a] to the people. But what, in the mean- time, is to be done? As yet no practical remedy had deen devised, and State after State was going out of the Union. All the votes taken in the different crisis com- mittees tended to strengthen the indication that a reme- dy from these sources is out of the question. The domi nant party have shown an indisposition to make those concessions indispensable to a reunion. Their bounden duty, then, was to preserve the status quo, and to pre- serve the existing state of things as nearly ‘as possible— to avoid the employment of coercion. But to do this it was cesentially necessary to their policy that a like pur- poge aud spirit should ammate their Southern friends. It would not do for the South to protest against coercion, while at the same time they seized the arms, arsenals, fortress», navy yards and ships that come within their reach and power. Toact thus was not and could never be peaceable secession—that would not be preserving the status quo. It was a declaration of war; and when sove- reign States make war they could’ not cry peaco, nor call for protection against coercion. To repeal the ordinance by which any of the States adopt- ed the Union and coded land or other property, which became a grant in foe simple, not only as proper: ty, but asa matter of jurisdiction, which by sovereign acts they parted with forever to the United States, was impossible. The constitutional compact was a com- pact between equal sovereign States, and when therefore a sovereign State did an act, whether by law or treaty, or by grant on parchment, ceding unalterably a piece of territory, large or small, whether for the purpose of erecting ‘on !t a fortress,’ or fort, or custom house, or city, or town, thatState could not recall z upmakeihe grant. That was out of the & preposition was monstrous in lew, i anaguls aud poli- tics, and was utterly yntenable and indefensible. He hoped the South, therefore, woul not force an iszue of war in defence of this incontrovertible right, and in dis charge of the imperative and paramount duty of occupy- ing and keeping those fortified places provided for the common defence of the country, It was on this point alone the whole danger of collision was to be dreaded—on this only civil war can happen, and on this position the first battle may be fought. Ii cannot be said by the South that the seizure of the forts had been made for the pur- pose of protection. Remember, the course of events in South Carolina in her Convention, couvened for the pur- pose of taking steps tesecede, met with no interference from any quarter—no interference from tbe Executive or from Congress. That Convention was held, the ordinance of secession was passed, ond they met with no inter ference with the act—none whatever. Noarmy or naval foreee were sent for the purpose of coercion. Bat what had the Legislature of South Carolina done? They or- ganized en army, and yet there was no interference with that hostile act from any quarter. The act of secersion, the equality of te sbape from its ii jon to ite consummetion, was rendered as complete rfect as human agency could make it, and not the alightest interference was asserted or a tempted by the Executive or legielative departments. Through ail these acts there was no ebow of coercion. The transfer of sixty men from one fort to another, however, simple as it was, gave rise to unfound- ed apprehensions, not only in one Btate, but tixroughout the whole section: the country. The mere transfer of & handful of men, not under instruction to menace or at- taak anybody, was assumed to be a warlike measure on the part of the federal government. What next?’ An unarmed vessel approwches the harbor of Charleston, bearing despat hee and provieions and men toa plice Within the unquestionable jariediction of the federal ve ee the United States, rresthead is splayed the American flag, and a8 she approacize is within sight of a fortification of the general ah ment—tho official character of the yeesel being well nity of never sau nl fa jem banter 9 a f foreign inter veut thout secession ; Feoession “, was altueat inevitable. Onail these eonsidera- ‘ions it was their absolute duty to hold thove places; nay of those who in. ing, because their potiti- cafbatety and to our territorial ton; and therefore all the statesmen of the South were committed to the reeognition of the right of the goverament to hol those fortited places, at all risks and under al} circumstances. The history of this, as well as of al! great countries, was full of precedents for this course of ‘action. Whatever may be the issue of events—whether, happily, by conciliation and justice to the South, we may fiud an heporable and fraterna) solution of our diffleulties; or wh: ther, unhappily ) we biindly drift into alienation, war and irrevocable separtion—ihe commercial im- tercste of Ubis country requice, the destiny of Amorican civilization demands, that the political and territorial ontro! of Uhis continent, from the mouth of the Hadson torthe mouth of the ‘Mississippi, from tbe Atlantic to the Pacific seas, shall remain where it now exits, pb the hands of the government of the United otates. In ali the partisan issues between the South and the republican party the people of the city of New York are with the South, but when the South makes an «untenable issue with our country, when the flay ot the Umiow is insulted, Wuen the fortified places provided for the common defence are assaulted and seized, when the <outh abandons its Northern allies for English and French: cooperation, then the loyal and patriouc population of that imperial city are a unit for the Union. Mr. AsKiey, (rep.) of Ohio, maintained that there were no causes for a ' dissolution of the Union and usurpation to overthrow. the govern- ment. ‘The conspirators had co-oporgted with trai- tora who were connected with the government. If the people knew what had been going on for the last our years in every department of the government, there would have been such an expression at the ballot box us would have effectually silenced the allies of the South living tp the North, The party who had violated the Missouri and other compromises now ask a8 a condition of their remaining in the Union such amendments to the constitution a8 will give a finality to the slavery ques- ton, The republican party ought to die if they en. graft om that instrument the ition of property in mam.

Yo meet the secession movements he would abolish all where the laws are now obstructed, the ports of the rebellious States, and let thoughtless men take the consequences of their own illegal acts, Mr. Lincoln will be ivaugurated in Washington, and this wil) remain the seat of government 80 long as ‘there can be found States loyal to the princi ples on which the government was founded. If the con epirators succeed, Washington will not be the capital. If the President had acted with tirmness these troubles would not exist. He will retire from his office utterly ditgraced. Mr. Peery, (rep.) of Mo., said now that tyranny and rebellion prevail, and men were turning anxiously and inquiring for some scheme of compromise, New Eng laad wus not consulted, but to cut her off from the rest of the confederacy was a favorite idea. But when that experiment thal be tried the South would find that Now kngland could live without the South as well as the South could live without her. He discussed the following ints:—First, the territory and population of New Eng: nd ; , her gocial and moral condition, and third, her wealth and industry. In the course of his remarks he spoke of her devotion to the Union. She was always prompt to repel foes from without and to meet traitors at home. was willing to make any reason- able compromise which could not be construed into an abandonment of principle. So long as the men have arms in their hands, so long as they forcibly resist the common laws of the country, bis voice was for war. The government that negotiates with traitors deserves the coutempt of the civilized world. The ‘Union must and shall be preserved.” The committee here rose and the House adjourned. THE REINFORCEMENTS FOR FORT SUMTER. THE PLEDGES OF THE GOVERNMENT—LETTER FROM JUDGE LONGSTREET. Tho Washington Constitution of Wednesday publishes the subjoined letter from Judge Longstreet. It explains the pledges given by ex-Secretary Thompson in relation to the reinforcements for Major Anderson, and shows how the authorities of South Carolina regarded the expedition of the Star of the West:— @ = Couumma, 8. C., Jan. 11, 1861. jow me, if you please, @ small space in your paper to place the State of South Carolina in her true positien, be- fore the world. How she was quieted from all apy sions of any hostile movement against her by the federal government, both before and after her secession, until she could peaceably present her case to the President and Congress, every one knows who has read the President's Message of December last, Mr. Floyd’s letter of re- Signation, and the correspondence betwoen her Com- mitsioners and the President. On the 3d instant 1 heard that the Harriet Lane was hourly ex pected at tho port of Charleston, with sealed de- spatches, and perhaps with a Collector on board, and that there was a likelihood she would be fired into if she entered the harbor, 1 hastened immediately to Charleston to exert what little influence I possessed to prevent this perilous act. What Idid in this bebalf is unimportant. I found the city waiting the return of the State’s Commissioners from Washington ina storm of excitement, increased by almost hourly despatches of a contradictory character. The Govervor, with whom I could not gain an interview for some time, seemed to havo no lights for his guidance but these discordant des- patehes and vague rumors, I concluded, therefore, that the best service that I could render him’would be to put lum in possession of reliable information from Washing- ton. Accordingly, on the 4th instant, 1 despatched a message to Colonel Thompeon, inquiring’ of iin whether the Harriet Lane had sailed for Charleston, and expreas- ing au earnest wish that her departure might be delayed as long a8 possible. He replied on the same day tl she had not sailed, adding au equaily earnest request that no attack should be made on Fort Sumter. This informa. tion was immediately communicated to the Goyernor,and then ay ope the last part) to the press. Gu the Sth instant T addreseed him in dke manner, and inguired of him whether any reinforcements would be sent to Fort Sumter. He replied of the eame day:—1 cannot speak by authority, but Ido not beliove any ad- ditional troops Will be sent to Charleston while the pre: sent siatus lasts. If Fort Sumter is attacked, they will be sent, I believe.” This despatch was immediately laid be- fore the Governor, and then, as was the other, before the people. I now considered ali danger of a collision be- tween the State and the federal government at an end for a fortnight at least, in which time I hoped she would be linked in a confederacy with at least four other States. ‘On the 7th despatches were received in the city, setting forth that the Star of the West had sailed southward with an armament of two hundred troops, destined, some said, for Charleston, others for Florida, others for New Orleans via Havana. I regarded these reports as good for nothing more than that troops were probably shipped to Florida. On the Sth the despatches gave strong grounds of belief that the Star of the West was on her way to Charleston, with reinforcemente for Fort Sumter. 1 therefore tele: graphed Colonel Thompson for information on thie d. He replied that without his knowledge the Star of the West had sailed for Charleston, with two hundred and fifty troops on board, and’ that she oaght to reach the city on that day. The despatch reached Charleston at twenty minutes after five o'clock P. M. on the 8th, and a little after daylight the next morning she was steaming juto the Charleston harbor. It now appears that this whole matter was conducted in secret, trom its inception to its concummation. ‘That what was strictly a Cabinet measure Was concocted without the privity of one of its members. The false reports were spread from New York as to the destination of the ehip, and that the whole vuadter was condweced ina manner #0 humiliating to its prqectors and their xecomplices that it ought of itself to sink them below the tellowehip of any Southern man, Was there anything in ‘he acheme that called for secre: Was there anything ask“ % Colone} Thompeon whi ig the well knowa atute of th, We + Washington, be might not, with the utmost proprigiy, ‘¥~ auswered officially?

He remem- bored it wasan act done by bis fellow countrymen, by men excited and misled by the apprehension of force to be employed against themselves, and aroused to blind zoal by feir own anomalous political condition. In re- taliation of that act of war, Major Anderson might have laid Charleston in ashes, and civilization and history would have approved the act. Ho emphatically an- nounced his convietion at po man, looking at the re- esponsibility of Major Anderson, could a lay hia band upon his hoart and condemn him for such a vindi- cation of the honor and the righte of a flag which his sword and bis life were pledged to maintam. But this was not done, and he thanked Heaven for it. If it hid been deve it would have been impossible to recon- struct the confederacy, which now @eemed the only peaceful escape from their difficulties. Tn view of mere eoeroion, he would repeat that they could not recruit a regiment in New York to march over the frontier to any State for the purpose of coercion against a people in the exercise of their legitimate and holy rights. Never— ever! But the men of New York would march in untold sande anywhere to protect the honored flag of the Union, and to defend and maintain ita glory and renown in any event, or in any emergency where it was neces sary to do 60, He would call attention once more to the great and grave distinction between an issue where force ts employed against a sovereign State to compel ite abandonment of any political act within her legitimate jurisdiction, and an 1} to arms in defence of the in- disputable right jurisdiction of the United States, when that jurisdiction ‘been ceded by the act of the seceding State, ference had yesterday been made (vy Mr. Garnett) to the probability of a hop Vieit from the armies and navies of France Fngland for the purpose of interfering with our jurisdic: tion. ‘This very probability showed it would be worse than madness to su the |, which Slone could enable them to assert and maintain that ju- risdiction.

New York State Militia—Communica~ The recent tender of the services of the First Division | State troops by Major General Sandford to Governor Mor- gon bas created considerable dissatisfaction among the rank and file of the division. They insist that such ten- der was unauthorized, as far as they were concerned, and certainly not rellecting their sentiments; it was uncalled for and cal ulated to still augment the excitement which js now shaking the fabric of too Union from contre to circumference, The resolution of the Board of Officers under which General Sandford presumed to act was adopted at a meeting held in the City Arsenal one week ago last Thursday night, when representatives frgm each regiment in the division were present, except from the Second, Fourth and Sevevty-ninth regiments, The reso lution—or rather the amendment toa resolution which was adopted—was authorized by Colonel Lefferts, of the Seventh regiment, and was ip substance empower ing Major General Sandford to tender the services of the First Division to Governor Morgan for the garrisoning of the forte in the harbor during the temporary absence of avy regular troops the federal goverument may require vlsewhere. Even accepting this modification of thestate ments previously published, such action was assumed, und not delegated either by the regimental boards or by the rank and file of the division. Again, Gen. Sandford, in bis communication to Gov. Morgan, exaggerates the strength of the division, He suye it numbers seven thousand men, This statement is scmew hat ambiguous and susceptible of considerable ex- planation, which we will volunteer to give. First, if he intended to convey the idea of the streugth of the divi- sion on paper, he exactly touched the mark; if he in tended to convey the idea of the active strength of the division, he is nearly two thousand men beyond the tigure. The maximum strength of the division is best ascertained frem the figures of the annual inspection, when no pains are spared to make the number as large as possible by coaxing out the ex-members and the lame, the sick, the blind and the hait, Every man counts at inspection if he can only hold a.musket and stand on his feet long enough to allow the inspector to examine it. Now, upon a very careful examination of the official re- turns we find the following figures detail the results of the inspection of October 1860, and that the aggregate inspection, including generals and drummer boys, was five thousand one hundred and eighty-six. From that number we will say six hundred should be deducted, to embrace those who are not active members, so that the actual active and average strength of the division ia about 4,500 men. As regards the discipline of the division, with the exception of three or four regi- ments, it is mediocre. The two cavalry regiments are in @ very poor discipline; and the artillery regiment—tho most important arm in the division—with the exception of one battery, is also in a very poor condition and its numbers quite small. So that, dnicss to repel actual invasion, or to enforce our local laws, General Sandford’s Union saving army would dwindle from seven thousand down to about the maximum of one thousand. We might speak more at length of the inefficiency of the higher grade officers, in regard to their utter igno- rance of the first principles of a soldier and their total incapacity to command troops when engaged in actual hostilities; but as these gentlemen will, in all probability, be visited with legislative retribution, we forbear enter- ing into further details. Suffice it to say that General Sandford’s pronunciamiento was precipitate, uncalled for and exceedingly unpopular among those men whom he assumes to command, and appears more formidable than it is de facto, TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. The absurd and premature action of the Major General of the First Division in tendering the entire division to the State, in the event of trouble, at an hour’s notice, has created a great deal of surprise. The object of this seems to be concealed; if not so, it is not apparent to those who will be called on to make up the great army under the command-of the aforesaid General. It is a question yet by what authority does thia officer act, without consult- ing the convenience and ability of those whom he will command. The First division, it is well known, are or- ganized for local police purposes, and cannot be com- pelled, as an organization, to go beyond the limits of the State. In making the tender spoken of tne object is not stated, nor is it known what the occasion is, If it is to wage a war onthe South, are there not many who may have scruples against taking this course of action? Can they be compelled to go, not having had any previous notice, and not being prepared to leave their families or business’ It is apparent from the illtimed action of General Sand- ford that he is either endeavoring to control the destinies of the State by using the division as a body, or he is unfit for the position he holds. At a meeting heid on Thurs- day evening last, called by the General, the respective colonels referred the matter with reference to the troops to the General. It did not appear that any of them had consulted their companies or knew how many would re- spond to a call in case of emergency. The aforesaid General may recollect that the division is subject to be aséembled at the alarm of twelve strokes of the Hall bell, and for the aforesaid General to tender them at an hour’s notice must ay au intended departure to a neighbor. ing State. While the troops of our city are ly aad willing to defend the rights of their State and the consti- tution, they are nevertheless to being dr into a civil war, under au incom] General, either for glory or political renown. It is to be that this matter may be made more clear, that who may have to be ready at an hour’s notice may — their business or social relations. JUSTICE, TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. New York, Jan. 17, 1861. I see by your morningfissue that Major-General Sand- ford has, with the concurrence of the Division Board of officers, tendered to Gov. Morgan the services of the entire First division, for any duty tho present emergency may require. Now I would like to know by what au- thority Major General Sandford or the Division Board of officers has to offer the services of the New York State Militia without the consent of each regiment, which I know has not been obtained; and I think there are many who would object to go so long as the republicans persist in disfranchising the South of her rights. And I would like to ask if it would not be imprudent on the part of Major General Sandford, under the present? excited slate of public feeling existing in the city, to order the mili- tary out of New York? It seoms to me the action of Major General Sanford confirms what I have often seen in some of the New York papers, of his utter incapacity to fill the high position he now occupies. Ww.

They declare that he has no business to sug- gest orders to the Commander-in-Chief, amd that ho has taken his present course as a dodge to defeat a bill which will legishute him out of his command.

On the floor were two magnificent hexagonal floral temples, sur- mounted respectively by a lyre and a harp in flowers, wreathed with festoons of evergreens and profusely ornamented with beautiful hot house flowers, which diffused ap agreeable aroma around, Beneath each tem- ple was a splendid floral bouquet, surrounded with burkets of choice flowers, twenty-four in number, and ntended as gifts for the ladies of the Directors. The tem ples were brilliantly lighted up with gas, and the entire effect was'very fine. The flowers were furnished by Mr. Degrauw. ‘The floor is made in pieces, and is portable, being jointed together in @ manner highly credi able to the workman who contrived it.

ELECTION OF CLERK—SPICY DEBATE ON THE MAYOR'S MESSAGE. The Board of Councilmen met last evening, and pro- ceeded to ballot for Clerk. Charles T. McClenachan re. ceived thirteen votes, and Josiah F. Kendall eleven, whereupon Mr. McClenachan was declared elected. N. M. Slidell was elected Sergeant-at-Arms, and Thomas Carl- ton Doorkeeper. Committees were appointed to wait upon the Mayor and the Roard of Aldermen to inform them of the organization of the Board. A few papers from the Aldermen were presented, and referred to ap- Propriate committees em argh ee A resolution was concu: in directing the different heads of departments to report to the Common Conncil all unconfirmed contracts awaiting their action. They concurred to appoint a joint special committee to con- etd amendments ought to be made to the city A régolution was offered directing the Clerk to adver- tise for proposals to do the printing and binding for the , in accordance with the charter, which was referred to a special committee, according to’ the vote of the ma- jority. This action neutralizes the object which the mover had in view in presenting it, for the committee will never report upon the matter. ‘The printing is done now without contract, contrary to the provisions of the charter, and no doubt will continue to be 80 performed so I as votes can be obtained to override the express provisions of the charter. DERATE ON THE boca ‘MESEAGE OF Erol uaa te yor’s secession Message was received and read and coy the usual motion to print it was put Mr. Orton objected to the printing of the Mayor's ro- markable communication in an eloquent speech. He said that the message not only transcended the charter rights and duties, but that it was an insult to the common sense of such a body as this and to the citizens of thig iafluen- tial city, It was remarkable, he ebserved, that the Mayor, as he passed through the streets from day to day, could see no improvements or reforms to suggest. The charters of the city railroads were violated day by day, and yet bis Honor said nothing about {t, ‘The wharves and piers of the city, too, were in a horrid condition, but no allusion was made to this and kindred topics in the meseage. It would have been proper to have sent this com- munication to the recent meeting held in Broome street, or else to that nest of nursing traitors, the Marshal’s office of this city. It was incumbent upon the Board to express its opinions upon this subject, not only for the purpose of aseorting its dignity, but’ to prevent the circulation of such ® document as expressive of the public gentiment of the citizens of New York. The speaker vindicated the republican party —— the false statements of the Mayor, and affirmed it was not a disunion party. The recent victory of the repub- licans was a triumph of principle, and the government was wrested from the men who long been engaged in subverting it, and who, if they had beon permitted to re- main in office six months longer, would have undermined ite foundations. Mr. Orton affirmed that the prominent topic of the mesaago was treagon, and in scathing terms spoke of the man who had evaded the punishment of the law by plesding “the statute of limitations,” and de. nounced him as a traitor. In conclusion the said he apprehended the city of New York would continue to be located on Manhattan Island; that it would remain a part of the Empire Stato, and that the Empire State would continue to be a part of the Union as it was, only more extended, and that they who attempted, either here or elsewhere, to disrupt the bonda which had so long bound this country together, would find tizat there was such a thing as treason and a law for its treatnzent.
