fections on is head was cecrecd to pass the AZ
sembly by a pretty rigid party vote, yesterday
There had pccn no debate upon H. a> il had been
pushed along lhroug Select Committee, without
discussion in Committee Of the Whole. We re-
greet that this course was deemed necessary to the
wel-being of the Par,y'-i.c e. our City Office
Holders; for it seems TO most ei'lden; that il
certain amendments, conceding to the dissentcrs
from our present system all they have asked, yet
preserving the present School system from dcstruc-
ton, had only been submitted to direct vote Of
the House, thcy must have been adopted. How
ever the Political majority at Albany, after fully
abusing Gov. Seward through years for proposing
slight modification Of our Public School System,
now take The responsibility of its entire OYER
throw On their heads be it
The Tax Bill, TOO, has already been passed by
the House. and the Argus intmatcs that it would
pass the Senate either yesterday or to-day. Well:
We do not blame the majority for this Charge bay
onel! manner Of putting through important meas
ures. Wciustify this in our opponents at Albany
we commend it TO our friends al Washington. OF
course the majority acting must take the full
responsibility of its measures We consider this
State tax unnecessary and burthcnsomc-wc deem
it most impolitic and suicidal course to stop the
State Works, and thus impose on the People OF
New York dead weight Of One Million Dollars
per annum for interest on works half completed
and there left to decay Its madness to givet this
proof of imbecilily, vaciation and distrust OF
own enterprises and resources under pretcnce of
restoring the credit Of the State! What would
be thought Of farmer who should abandon his
barn half built, his cellar half dug in order to re-
store his credit Would he not thereby advertise
the world to regard him as insolvent and entitled
to no credit whatever? Yet this is the course to
be taken by the great State Of New York to restore
her credit, while her legislators are doing their
best to Jockey her out OF the Land Fund OF some
100000 per annum, which would pay the interest
on Five Millions of six per cent. debt. And this
wretched policy of abandoning Twenty Millions
worth of unfinished works to daridation and
ruin the Journal Of Commerce asserts is what
every body here desires to adopted! Well;
Let Loco-Focosm adopt such counscs and follow
them to the attermost. Let it hug to its breast
the delusion that the People will sustain this thrift
less policy, ard push it through by Previous Cues
tions, if need be- Wehonor its energy. We can
almost admire its reckless hardihood. 1t will
shuttle by the Tax for the present by collecting
ill after the Election. But if it does not hear an
earthquake voice from Lake Erie, from the South
ern tier, and the Canal Counties, before the Idcs
of November, we shall have greatly mistaken the
sagacity and the spirit of the Empire State.
