It will be remembered that last session,
a petition was presented here signed by

a petition was drawn up signed by 1 iO J
which I hold in my hand. A remonstrance ha? also come ep, signed by 1 COO citizens praying that no further law may be passed on this subject. Since then, a memorial has been received asking that the law may be suspended till the Law renceburgh incorporation shall be indemnified for the moneys expended by the citizens of that place in rebuilding ths court house. However strange it
may seem, I am informed that another petition has been got up and signed by about 2000 persons COO of whom signed the remonstrance who now a:?k for a division of the county have become nulhtiers have turned round and departed from their fust position. Strike Ihis COO from the remonstrance and add them to the petition of 1100, and we have 2000 asking (or new legislation en this subject. Now yon sec what an awkward position I am placed in. My constituents ask more than I can give more than all

hurgh had remonstrated, who would let
I he law of last session pass as it did pass.
W hy did they not remonstrate? 1 hey
though l it uneonsilutional to pass any
law changing the county seat: and therefore had no idea that lids legis
lature would interfere with that loca
tion. Why not, then suspend that act
one year? I do not think this an un
reasonable demand. The. Senator from Sullivan was licht last winter and wc
were wrong: but we acted on the peti
lion then before us. I do hope there
fore that there will be but one mind in this Senate, and that the Senator from
Sullivan will give his vole also for the

Resolved, That a select committee of
nine be appointed to inquire what amendments, if any, are expedient to be made lo the laws relating to the Military Academy at Vcst Point, in the Slate of New York, and also into the expediency of modifying the organization of said institution ; and, also, whether it would not comport with the public interest to abolish the same, with power to repoit by bill or otherwise. Mr. Mann, spoke at some length in
favor of a thorough investigation of the alTairs of the Military Academy, and went lo some extent into a statement of the reasons which in his oppinion rendered it necessary lo re organize or abolish that institution. Mr. Pierce, of New Hampshire, spoke
on the same side of tiie question, and,
