STATE DEBT-FUyDISG ETc.-We have
omitted 10 refer TO this subject until it has
assumed such a form that we could deter
mine the practicability of the measure and
the probability Of itS eventual success. The
labor required in settling the preliminaries
OF work vi the magnitude contemplated by
the law, occupied a considerable time be-
fore the business Of exchange was under;a-
Ken. large amount, perhaps the largest
portion OF the debt. was payable in Europe
or held by capitalists on the other side Of the
water. y negotiation. therefore, between
the Governor and the European bondholders
became necessary in order that the latter
might be fully appraised of the advantages
OF the proposed arrangement, and TO induce
them 10 Come into it.
The law Of last winter contemplated the
surrender Of every kind Of state indebted
ness. except canal stock, aud 20 substitute
in lieu thereof new stock Of different
character Of not less than $1,000 principal
aud 500 interest stock (intcres, in arear)
which latter should bear no interest for ten
years-thereby Withdrawing from the mar
ket the vast mass OF trash, which, under al
most every conceivable name, had been put
in circulation by the state, asccr,aning the
I
wing it hereafter in one uniform kind of IN
debtednesS. The entire amount required
TO be withdrawn cannot be far from So ,0OO,-
! 900 or $6,O00,0eO. TO ensure the carrying
out of this measure the sum Of $4,000 was
appropriated. II was supposed by many
/ thatit would be attended with much greater
expense, but we learn that this SUN viii be
abundantly sufficient for the object. So far,
economy has been studied and no further
, appropriation will be necessary in complet-
ing the work. Over $l,l00,O00 Of our out
standing obligations have already been ia
ken up, and much larger SUN is now await
ing exchange. II is now regarded as toler-
ably certain that all the bondholaers will
comply with the law, and our bonds hcreai-
ter be made payable principal and interest
in the city of n. York, thus saving TO The
state the expense of exchange, foreign acen-
cics, etc, which have heretofore sub,racted
very considerable moiety from the tax APP
propriated TO the payment Of interest.
There HIS also been funded about $500
! 600 Of canal scrip under another and dis,inc,
provision of law.
! On the whole it is our opinion that this
measure will prove beneficial one TO the
state and we are pleased TO learn that the
Governor has been energetic in carrying i
into execution. We shall recur to the sub
icct hereafter, and give our readers full de-
tails of all that has been done and is doing

CIay and the Presidency.

There seems to be determination on
the part of the wings in several states TO
run the ''great embodiment" again for the
Presidency. A large meeting Of the wings
of New York city was held on the 7th inst,
at which several speeches were made de-
nouncing Gen. Taylor and urging the
nomination of Clay. Resolutions were a
dopted urging thorough organization OF
the whig party, and an address put forth
urging the people of the Union to form
Electoral tickets, and vote for Clay and
Fillmore. 1t is said that Mr.. Clay will
permit his name to be thus used. These
are truly great times, and this great coun
try-or it will be when it is finished.
