DEAR SIR
Az you have no correspondent at nj place
although your valuable paper is extensively read

means Of an occasional letter from here the circu

BE increased.
Inasmuch as you visited this city, with your
amiable lady, last October, you very well know
that it is situated tho Mohawk river; that it is
intersected by the Erie and the Chenango Canals /:

and Utica Railroads, here in the central part of
the city. We are, besides the point of divergence for
the southern mall through Madison, Che mango and
Brosme counties the son ihwestern, through Ma

northern mails to Watcrtown, Sackett's Harbor
and Kingston, Canada and 10 Ogdensburgh, ST.

A Great Anti-RepudlatiOnE Ie citing Proposes
mt TamntAny Hall

We understand that preparations are making in
some quarters TO call great meeting of the people
IN Tammany Hall, for the purpose of expressing
their opinions on the doctrines of Reputation OF
debt" which begins TO prevail and to gain ground
IN certain quarters Of the country.
A large portion of the country are utterly opposed
TO hs doctrine, either applied to States TO cor.
poraiions, or TO individu ais. The sacred obliea
ton et contracts is principle that chara cterises
the early and pious settlers OF this continent-that
runs through all their subsequent public, and private
acts down TO the revoution-that was placed in the
Constitution Of the General Government. and the
constitution of every State, an indsputabe axiom
as the firm and lmmoveabe corner stone of Anne
rican civilization. Unfortunately Of late, arising
from a loosencss Of morals, cotemporaneous with
bank SUSPENSIONS this old and sacred principle has
been met by the detesable doctrine of "repudia
tion," which should be put down at once by the
honest voice of the community. A bankrupt law
based on principles of equity and mercy to debtor
and creditor, would be good and salutary mca-
sure-but any bankrupt law which authorises the
reputation OF debts without the consent of the ere
dltor, would seem to be too like the doctrin. of
Estate reputation" TO meet with general apprsba-
ton.
To express a full and authoritative opinion on
these great principles of civilization it is proposed
that great meeting be called in Tammany Hall. of
the whole people; and we learn that the rrepara.
tions are making accordingly. Whittier il will grow
