F'isk, from ihc special committee to whom was referred this matter, made a report, which, after alluding to the importance und desirableness of Hie subject, went on to remark, that the recent calamity which had befallen tho city, and the existing fear that it may be repeated, even to a greater extent, have, aroused anew a feeling a determination seemingly universal, that tho city should have a full supply of water, and that ihero should be an immediate aud vigorous commencement of ihc work, and that tho objeel shall be accomplished with no oilier delay than is required by the extent of the work and its permanency, and fur the primer exercise of economy in tho expenditure for the purpose. The committee have looked anxiously and diligently lo every source from which it was at all probable that a supply of water might be obtained.

iu formal application has been made lo the authorities of New York in rclatiou to a supply of the Croton water; but in this quarter there appuars to bo a decided feeling agaiust parting, to any extent, with a boon which they value so highly.

Sherman Itt'JLean. Fo Insp. State Prisons. Curtis Hawlcr. The Taylor Platform in New York.

The resolutions of the Taylor whig State Convention, held last week at Albany, are, as a whole, a most amuslujr production. The writer has evidently had too much to do. The opening resolution contains a ridiculous pledge of hearty BupporL" to Gen. Taylor in the name and behalf of the whigs of New York We see how much authority this Convention had to speak in the name and behalf of the Whigsof New York." by the various demonstrations for whig principles" and in determined opposition to Taylor, which are occurring every tiny over the length and breadth of the State" aforesaid. But the resolution pledgee his hearty support" to Gen.

Taylor, "Because the justice, firmness, moderation and good sense which throughout an oventful life, have distinguished Gen. Taylor, give security for a wise and peaceful administration of the government, equal to the most explicit pledges in favor of particular measures." Most conclusive and satisfactory An event, ful life" of forty years Bpent almost entirely in a camp, hid mind exclusively devoted the duties of his profession, never taking enough interest in the affairs of his country to induce him to cast a single vote, and so confessedly iguorant of all the great questions that have ever been agitated as to be unable to express a decided opinion upon any one of them, is to give security for a wise and peaceful administration of the government, equal to the most explicit pledges It is about equal to thejpZetfgesof the Convention, or the hearty support" of the whigs of Now York to Gen. Taylor But the resolution goes on further to pledge this hearty Because in the principles which he has avowed, as those which will guide him in the discharge of the high office of president, we recognize the great cardinal doctrines of the whig party, which, always trusting, and not in vain, to the representatives of the people and of the Slates in Congress, has found the chief obstacle to the success of its measures in tljo abuse of the executive patronage and the Executive Veto." When has Gen. Taylor avowed" auy other "principle" than that he never surrenders always excepting, however, the principle not to give my his opinion upon the various questions of policy now at issue between the political parlies of the country." But, taking Gen. Taylor's nonsensical declarations against "executive patronage and executive the veto" as principles, the Convention stretches them, like elastic sheets, into a platform wide enough to hold all the old abominations advocated by the Federalists Bank, Tariff; Land Distribution, etc.

etc. The resolution most truly says, that the whig party has found an obstacle to the success of its measures" in the executive veto and the corollary of their reasoning is, that if the dreaded veto is silenced, the success of whig measures is certain but it requires something else besides the extinction of the veto power to give success to the absurd theories of whiggery. To do that they must abolish the power of tho people as well as the power or the veto. How the executive patronage has ever proved an obstacle to the success of whig measures," we cannot well imagine, unless for abuse" we read absence of the executive patronage." The second resolution lauds Mr. Fillmore but as his whiggery is rank, and smells to heaven," tho panegyric seems better fitted to its subject.

The third re affirms the devotion of the whig party to the old measures, which for so many years have been the enemies of our Republic which have been tried and found wanting, and have been finally, and we hoperreoer, cast out from the policy of our country. After a Pharisaical blast about hostility to corruption," and attachment to economy and honest accountability," it asserts that the whig party has the same regard" aB formerly, for a high tariff, indicated under thestyleoi "Protection'of American' Industry in the various departments of agriculture, manufactures and commerce for a United States Bank, smoothly phrased, the maintenance of harmony between the operations of the government and the business, credit and currency of the country" and for the old Whig scheme of indis. criminate Internal Improvements by the General Government, expressed as the same desire to improve, protect and extend the means of intercourse between the different sections and states of the Union." Iu short, the resolutions, one and all, show how daintily the matter of principles had to be dealt with, and what a very delicate, impalpable substance Taylorism is. Whiggery and federalism used to bo open, bold, and flat footed. anH th between it and democracy required only a clear field and a strong hand to hand struggle, in order to develope truth but since like Santa Auna they have declined all regular warfare, and have taken to ambushing and guerilJa hting, their principles may be a little moro difficult to find, but when once discovered are as ridiculous and contemptible as the robber bauds of the Mexican chief.

Queens cou.sTv.The regular democracy of Queens county h.Md a large and enthusiastic meeting at Hewlett'. largo rooms, (Hempstead,) last Saturday evening. The utmost enthusiasm and harmony prevailed throughout the meeting. James T. Brady, Esq.

and Col. Ming Qc New York were present and made admirable addresses. The Barnburners are leaving no stone unturned to defeat the regular candidates of the democracy but the friends of Cass and Butler appear determined to carry out their old established principles and stand by the regular nominations. John Van was at Hempstead yesterday, espousiug the cause or Pa, assisted by would bc goveruor John A. Dix.

As far as wo can learn the people were disappointed with John's etVorU. The democratic confirmation meeting at old Tammany last uight wua very large oud euthusi astic. The speakers were Mike Walsh, Mr. Moses of South Carolina, Mr. Brady of N.

He returns his sincere thanks to all his friends and customers for the very liberal patron age hitherto extended to him, and hopes they will continue the same to him in his new stand, thereby making the misfortune that has befallen him the more easy to bear. A new and fresh supply of drugs will be immediately added to the store, and the same undivided attention paid to his business that has hitherto, as he trusts characteiised his business at his old stand. 3w FJfcliUAJjE ACAIIEMY.
