REPUTATION IN NEW YoRK.-The Secretary Of
State, of New York, in communication TO the
Legislature of the State recommends reputation
The following is an extract from the reputation
letter of the learned Secretary
millions of outstanding stocks are now lmpen'
ding over the State which were created by laws IN
clear and direct hostility with the plain provisions
of the Constitution. These laws were null and
roid from their inception, and cannot impose even
shadow of a moral Obligation Tor the tulhment oil
their ostensble demands Whether The people OF
the State will gently bow their necks 20 The yoke
and pay premium upon legislative wickedncss and
encroachments will be disclosed by the future
And il the double of past prohigacy and past
precedent be fastened upon them, they Wdthe
be meek enough to bear icithOut a mUrmar me am
Piesf strides If unbridied fyrannV."
Little did we expect to see such sentiments un-
blushngly promulgated in the State of New York,
by one occupying as high position as does Mr.
Young This same Secretary Of State, il we are
rightly informed, has contributed as much as any
other person in the State, by his votes, voice and
influence, 10 create the very stocks which he would
repudaie. We conceive this doctrine to be any
thing but honest.
The State Of New York, as well as other States,
has issued stocks under the authority Of Legisla
tive power; these stocks have been purchased I'M
der the belief that they were good and now the adj
vocates Of reputation would have the indebted
States turn round and confess themselves in the
same class with common swindlers. The ability of
the State Of New York TO meet these demands is
not questoned-but they were issued in direct vio-
lation of the Constitution A great pity indeed
that this constitutional objection had not been
urged before the debt was created. The money has
been received and been appropriated to the use of
the State, and assuredy the State is bound to pay
the debt
We are glad to perceive that Secretary Young
cannot convert all Of his own party over to repudi-
alton. Some few Join in the cry of reputation but
not ALL Several of the leading journals of the par
~ to which Mr. Young belongs, have come out and
decidedly rebuked the author of the sentiments we
have quoted above. The s,aunch regulators are
beang that portion of the loco foco press that will
not swallow repudiation for "according so much in
sentiment, with the wing presses" A crying sin
this, truly, TO agree with the wings We wish
there was more SHINING after this sort-if SHINING
it can be called.
Our own State having never issued any State
stock, the loco ioco satellites among US have no
chance TO play the game of reputation. We have
politicians that are brazen faced enough, we doubt
not, to act well their part in business of this kind
but they have no opportunity.

crease the already ovcrgrown power of the
Executive--nor expose your Treasury TO be
plundered by the corrupt-nor leave you to en-
dure the evils Of an unsound currency, while
il secures to your Government and lis officials
a sound one.
Thus stands the issue between the parties,
and il is ready for your decision. That deci-
sion you must make. We do not, and will
not, appeal to any passion or prejudice, to in
nuence you in our behalf. We feel too deeply
the magnitude of the subject, and the conse-
quences of your decision II is a question of
solemn importance, in the consideration Of
which you should rise above the influence of
party, and regard il in its true character as
one of governmental power and policy--in de-
Gliding which you control the destinies of this
nation, long after the present political parties
will have passed away.
If, In your calm aud deliberate judgments,
you believe that national and individual pros
perity can exist without a sound and uniform
currency-ic you believe that it is not the duty
OF your Government to supply and TO regulate
such currency-ii you desire to behold the
destruction of your State banks, aud of that
system of credit, which has opened the vistas
of allluence aud of distinction to the humblest
individuals in our country--if you are willing
10 find lower depth in that deep of national
distress, into which you have sunk--you have
only to throw yourselfinto the arms of the
Democratic party, and TO sustain their fnan-
cial projects
II, however, you feel the necessity of having
a sound currency-if you would preserve your
State institutions and your credit system--if
you believe that your Government is bound to
supply and TO regulate your currency, and
should do so by the creation of some system,
which will not destroy, but will harmonic
with and remedy the defects of your present
system of curfency-lhereby enabling you
once more to pursue with successful industry
the occupations Of life, without fear of having
the fruits of your labors swept from you in
without lault-if you desire con-
tiuuance of that policy which governed your
Washingtons, your JeiitrSons and your Mad !
isons, and made this Union what il has been,
you will sustain the Wing party, who advocate
that policy, and propose the only means bv /
which, judging from past experience, those re- 4
suits can be attained.

The doctrine Of Reputation seems to be one that

Fire and Loss Of Life.-On Tuesday after
noon last, Mrs Samuel Rose Bush went to her
barn TO look after a sckly hefer that was there,
and from there went into the woods TO see her
husband. She left female infant in the era
die, and girl of 4 years old in bed in charge of
her son, child six years old. On her return,
her house and two of the children, two girls,
were burnt; nothing remained to show that
human being had been destroyed but one leg.
From the account given of the accident by the
boy, who escaped, it appears that he had been
sweeping up the fire on the hearth, and that
the broom must have caught fire, and so set
fire to the premises. The boy alarmed the
neighbors, hui too late TO be OF any use to res
cue either of the girls, or any portion Of the
