Albany, Monday Eve, March -?.
A large Delegation of Office-holders and leaders
from Tammany tamo up this morning, to drill
Senators Vaiiian and Scott into tin* support of
Mr. Mac-lay's School Bill. 1 understood ;it 1
o'clock that they had succeeded ; but since thou
rhe wind has changed, and now I understand that
these Senators ar?' inflexibly hostile, as they have
hitherto been, to the passage of rbis bill, or nny
one like it. Its fate rests with them.
The Mechanics' or State Prison Reform bill has
no look for passage. Some sort of a substitute
will probably be adopted, but th?*? real thing app^ur?
to have no chance.
The Erie Railroad is to be knocked in the head,
so far as the Legislature can do ?t.. Such is the
present prospect.
Tho Tax bill passed the Senat?? to-day by one
majority. Mr. Faulkner (Loco) would not vote.
Temperance Festival.
Yesterday was a proud day for the Philanthro?
pist. Nevei to our knowledge has there been in
our city so magnificent a display of the great re
*ulls of n strong, well-directed, virtuous effort. It
was the first Anniversary of ihe "Washington Tem?
perance Benevolent Societies of our city and its
vicinity: and we regret extremely that the crowd?
ed state of our columns will not permit us to speak
at length of the manner in which it was celebra?
ted. The Procession wart formed in the moming
in Hudson street, and marched through all the
chief thoroughfares in the city, accompanied by
splendid bands of music sounding forth in tones
of j?y und spirit-stirring melody the mighty victo?
ry over shame and sin that has been won. peace?
fully and in silence, under the unstained banners
of this benevolent Institution. Nearly fifty differ?
ent Societies from this city, Brooklyn. Beigen,
Flushing, Williamsburg. Jamaica, Harlem and
oilier towns in this neighboihood, many of them
arranged under their respective callings, and sev?
eral Temperance Fire and Hose Companies, mm
posed this long and joyous company. Each socie?
ty carriud its hanner, many of them splendidly
wrought, and all hearing some appropriate motto
and device. The whole was lea by the Washing?
ton Temperance Guards and was under the direc?
tion ot James G. Fokbks, Grand Marshal. One
of the most pleasing features of the procession j
was the'Cold Water Army'of several hundred
children all neatly dressed, and presenting a fine?
picture of happiness and contentment.
The procession was nearly two miles in length
ami marched ihreugh our streets, between linos of
astonished and rejoicing citizens crowding the
timers to behold this groat and before utihoa rd-of
display of TompCKince triumphs. t<? Washington
['anide Ground; where three stages had been
erected' from which the great concourse, which
must have embraced some eight thousand people,
wan addressed in heartfelt, eloquent language bv
Mr. Barrel, District Attorney of Queen's Coun?
ty, Cupt. W. A. Wisdom of Philadelphia, Messrs.
John Holman and T. M. Woodrcfk of thiscitv.
Then forming in procession again they marched
to the Park, where they were dismissed.
In the evening, a splendid Festival was given
at the Centre Market Halls. Some seven hundred
persons sal down at the tHbles, where a splendid
dinner had been prepared ; ami never was assem?
bled a more joyous company. The Malls were de?
corated in a most splendid manner, a fine Band
ol Music was in attendance, and capital speeches
were mad?' by Messrs. Flanagan, WtsnoM, New?
man, Latham, Madden and others. We annex

A large meeting was held at the Broaiway Taber?
nacle. After un appropriate prayer by Rev. Mr
Andrews, a few plain wmarks'tvcountiog por?
tions of his own experience of twenty years as a
degraded drunkard, wore maile by MV.'Madb ? '
A most excellent address was then de..v^re<_ I
SaLEM DOCTKKR, Esq. of thiscitv. It was nminK
a tastcfnl mid elegant exposition of the gtimx
achievements of organized Benevolence in the pre?
sent age; and an assertion of the high rank, both
indignity and in practical utility, which should be
assigned to those Societies whose anniversary vvas
the i~_casion ?f the present meeting. The wrongs
long suffered by a largo portion of our fellow-citi?
zens, from the voluntan- Slavery of intoxication,
were wwll portrayed, and an eloquent and earnest
exhortation, to men and women of every class to
aid in this' great work of redemption from misery,
closed the address.
Mr. Dutchcr was followed by Hon. Theo. Fre
LINGIIL-yse.n', who, inKs??riesof plain.pointed.prac?
tical it-marks, spoke of the high interest wf the oc?
casion that called them together, the mighty work
that had been accompli?hed by thesimplest means,
and the necessity of still, farther exertion in tue
L'ood cause of Liberty and Virtu?-. The name ot

under which the victims of Intemp-Tance live, be

our fathers ro rebellion. Those were political?

at the fireside : the chain? forced by this tyrant
clank upon the hearthstone; and with t.h?""ir lion

immortal spirit, that should be free to ' wander
tlirouah eternity' is linked with pollution, ?in find

as adapted in every respect to break these b?md?.
It. sets aside the objections of casuist? and plant?
itself '?n the ground of safety and .elMeferice. It
proposes by association to break th?* power of <"?
vice which owes much of its ?rrength to social
habit. I', raises the d?-_Taded victim from the
lowest depth?? of wretchedness and gives him com?
fort and content. Mr. F. spoke eloquently and
with effect. He was followed by Captain W. A.
Wisdom who made somo excellent practical ob?
servations. The exercises were enlivened by the
splendid perfurmance by the choir of several fine
pieces of m?rir.
Yesterday -.vas a prond ?layfor the reformed and
the reformers ; and we trust the influence of its
observance will be greatly to inere-isc- the number
of both.

ly demand
' And whd, we respecuully a?k, an- the partie? who chietl?

mities al.OTi- alluded to most deeply felt, and from th?'iu art?
ille tumis drawn in by far the irrealer proportion, which pay
the expense.
In order to prevent cavil on this latter point, we bei? leave
hereto explain : and a ?in?le instance will giv? our mean?
ing-. We are not so ignorant a.? to suppose that all the
ft?owi collected in the *>ori of New York for exam
pie, is derived from the people of the Stair ; but what w? do
intend is,1 that theduties on those imported goods which are
consumed within tiie Suite?duties amounting prnbalily to
not lis? than finir or /":??? millions of dollars annually?are
rornnch paidby th- people of this State into the coffers of
the General Government Does any part off Ai.? sum, or the
?maJIesi portion of that va-t revenue collected in/t<rr port,
go to detray the expense of the Stat.-or City Governments.
anv thing toward the construction other vast works of Inter?
nal Improvement? or to tht'supj>ort of her common schools ?
Any part lo serve a.? the ba?i? ot a sound State currency ._
Not on* dollar to any of these object.?. All, all goes to the
support of a government powerless for good, tliough mighty
for mischief, and which, onderthe influence winch basso
?on_- governed it. begins to be universally felt as merely an
entrine of oppression and disgrace.
We pass over cur*-orily, nlso, the contumely with which
our repie?*-iitativ.'? in Congr?-?? have bein treated,?the in?
juries and indignities with which our iree citizens have been
treated in the slave State?, if known or suspected to enter,
tain feelings and views favorable to human rights. The im?
prisonment of our tJiTiocm' free citizens in Southern
p-ons, or if guilty, guilty only ofskin not colored like that
of tho??* lords ot the a.?cend"anL Nor do we m?-ari to say
much of the violated rightof petition 'seevrtd, we were '?n
ing to say, bnt) occor?iea to us by express provision in tiie
C?ns?totion ot the United State?. Our back ha.sl.e..ri fitted
to all this burden by lon?j endurance: and, when ft-elinfi?.
of ju?; indignation would ari?e to our lips, a? we think of
these things, and of the contempt w-ith which our petitions
have been rir.ii?? back in our faces, we are restrained by the
sense ot con?c:ou? shame, that oar own hands erected this
monstrous idol of ??aver.- on its pedestal, and that the?e frte
State? were tke first 10 fall down and worship ill
There Is one matter, however; even among those to which
we can only brietir allude, which, we submit, require? to be
brought out into inon? distinct r*:lie'. It is known to your
Honorable body that our Government ha.?, for many v?ar?.
been earnestly employed in negotiating with forei-;ri nation?
for an advantageous vent in their markets, for ihe produce of
Southern Slavery-for abatement of dutie?. tbe!?*on,_cc. What
?ucc'.-?>? has crowned their e:T'?ri? iu *amc?insUnces, and with
what unabated zeal our minister- abroad are employed in
consummating succ?s? for the remainder, are too well ?inowt.
for detail in this place. Now it is ??qnally well known, that
the principal argument employed by th? ?"ouih a-?ain?t the
Protect-.* System wa?, that the duties o; Protection we.-,
lax?-? ou ?e agriculture ot the country. The ullacr of thai
ar-*iim**nt ha? been often shown, but us truth or falsehood
? not material :n thl? piac?*. VS'hat ? essential is the indig?
nant sympathy which taey professetl to t'eei for what they
called the oppress! ?gricnltBre ot the country. How far,
we respectfully inquire, did this sympathy carry them? In
all the ce!_otiai:or.s for a market?for the abatement of du?
ties. Jr.?. has anyone of our foreign ministers b-en instructed
lo negotiate for a isarket, for ?ne great ?tapies of xi.ef'te
States : tor t"irtr bread-stiu?s?tAt-ir provisions, lumber."i.e.
or tor any reasonable and ruciprocal modification o? ;he du
ties tli'.Teou.' Two vear? aco the governinf? influence of
ihis country was challenged to produce a single iastanse of
this .?ort; and. up to lh.s time, we look ia vain for the are
nonncement that the first stej, has hern taken for this object.
How tar their prote-sior.s of svuipathy were ?inc?-re, and
whether the Goyernmrat at \\ aaJiia.'ton is impartially

entire control, and employ.d for the ex?:lu_ive ben?ir?t ot

instance earnestly to consider.

danger of our position, to suggest respectfully, since ib-??
evils have mainly grown out01' divisions among ourselves,
artfully fomented by th?' body of Slavehoiders, they them?
