Correspondence OF The y. I. Tribune
HUNTINGTON, l.. l., Oct. -, 1860.
Though we were disappointed in not having Senator
Wilson with MS on the 18th, we nevertheless had an
excellent Republican rally which was addressed in
the afternoon by GEO. G. bellows, esq, and in the
evening by HENRY j. ScUDDER, esq aud the Hon.
WALDO HUTcHINs. MI B,llows-brother Of the
Rev. DR.. Bellows, and formerly prominent in the
American party-devoied himself TO dressing down
Douglas, Bell, and Fusion, which he did most ad
nirably. Mr.. Hutchins formerly represented the
Americans of Brooklyn in the State Legislature, and
this was his maiden Republican speech The tergiver
cations Of the archagitator Douglas, were shown up
by Mr.. Ii in a mastery manner. He ought 10 be
heard elsewhere. Mr. Scuddar who made the closing
speech is native of this region, and one Of most
active friends. We mean to have at least one more
public gathering and hope TO have G. w. Curtis to
address
We have Just organized Town Republican Assoeia-
ton. which we intend TO make permanent institution.
If we can bring out las we shall every effort tO all
who are opposed TO Sham Democracy We shall add a

HOW WILL THE JEWS VOTE?

To ne Editor Of The ~. y. Tribune.
SIR: observed several days siuce report in the
daily papers Of the proceedings Of what is claimed to
have leen a political convention of Je wish delegates,
repro seng and expressing the sentiment Of the large
and respectable body Of Jews in this city and equity.
Now Il is is all CANNON. There never was and thar
never will be, hope, any occasion for the Jews en-
masse TO form "entsnglirg alliances with either Of
the great parties in this Reputlic And defy these
elfal pointed and seftJled delegate" to point out
the existence Of any purely Judao political orgsniza
ton in this city country. 1t is very easy mater
fer few ns niicaut ard obtcure peddsrs u ab andon
their legitimate svocalion just before important
election ard to act political runners of Fernando
Wood Ruast aud others; but Il will be found not Que
70 eaty to change the opinions and sympsthes Of the
gres portion Of the jewish community by misrepre
seutstion. For my own part, | repudiate it, and
puarar tee that the 9Th Of November next three
fourtbs Of my Jewish brethren will repudiate the
action of these righttcaveDgeTs o. the Slaveocraic
psrty. We jews lave not forgotten the fact that
fathers AT time the subjects of oppression in
the house of bondage Nay that We ourselves were
net very many years ago, m9s Of our brethren yet
ere despised and oppressed And shau we udorse aud

Whether any Company, or set Of men, will
take the lands suhiec. to the conditions of

those conditions, may be doubtful. But
II such men can be found, they should have
the privilege. In their present position,
the lands are worse than useless, because
they are withheld from SALE and must be
tor the next six years to the damage of the
country, and the embarrassment Of the cit
liens of the State.

country would contribute the remainder.
And when the road is so far constructed in
that direction as to be within the reach of
the mining capitalists of the Lake Superior
region, it would be soon iisLed through by
them.

The defaic8tion of the State Treasurer
of Maine, Benz. ID. Peek, has been snnounc-
ed BY telegraph. The funds of the State
have been largely used by the Treasurer in
business operations of his own-and there
is no likelihood of the money being repla-
ce5 by him. The amount is said to be
large-ranging somewhere from $4,000
to 800, 000-leavlng but little money in
the Treasury. The funds have teen used
in the extensive numbering and mill build
ing operations in Canada East, below Mont
real, in which Mr. Peck and other parties
in Mime have been engaged for year or
ore, and which has cost some $50 900 or
100000. 1t is stated that besides the
money which has been taken directly from
the Treasury, drafts or checks TO large
amount have been given by Mr.. Peck,
signing as State Treasurer. but for which
the State is not liable. Some of these
were either partially or wholly secured by
him upon his Canada properly. What
the entire amount Of these drafts or checks
NAV be, is not now known, but $4Q, 600
in two lots have been already discovered.
The Treasurer's bond is for $4,000, and
there are nine sureties, who are all men Of
wealth and propity. The fraud, it is said
was not premed;ated nor deliberate, but
the Treasurer was gradually drawn into it
by the exigencies Of his business. and by
the advice of his friends-Nulwaukee Sat

there is disposition on the part of some

outstanding the fact that at least one
eight of all the newspapers in the State
have been forced 70 suspend within the
past few weeks, and a large majority of
the remainder are loosine concerns TO the
proprietors, still many people are led to be-
lieve that newspaper publishing is Iucra-
tive business. We only wish they had to
publish newspaper till they learn the
fac's. The last Legislature dealt fairly
with the press and fixed legal rates at
about what they should bs-neither to
high nor to low but still lower than in
most other States.

Assessment Law.

~ 10 Sii tiit't iAS <AccCS>hSEt
law Of 1858, which vas reported on the
las. day of the session, and passed both
houses Of the Legislature under suspen-
sion Of the rules, in less than two hours
from the time when it was first reported ;
contained some provision. which were, or
seemed to be obnoxious to = majority of
the people of the State, and that the next
Legislature repealed that law, and submit
ted another in its place.
Among the provisions ofthe law of 1853
which is not to be found in the new law,
was one requiring that all tangible personal
as well as real property, should be assessed
and taxed, and that nothing should be de-
Quoted from the value of said taxable prop
erty, on account of any Indebtedness of the
owner thereof, or in other words mans
debts should not be deducted from the
value of his taxable personal property
except, that his debts might he deducted
from the amount of his notes and accounts
against others.
Tho Governor in hi. message alludes
briefly to this subject, and recommends
such a change in the present law rs shall
restore that provision of the law of 1858.
We cordially agree with Gov. RASDALL
upon this question We believe that prop
erty, real and everything that
is bona .tSae property-which ia protected
bv our laws, should be taxed for the sup
port of our government; and that notes
Of hand, book accounts, and mere claims,
and demands against other persons not
secured by mortgage, are not tangible
property and have no real certain value
and therefore should not be taken into ac-
count, Or be enumerated III tie assessment
or valuation of property.
A merchant in this State may own
stock of goods worth twenty thousand
dollars, and may owe that amount in he
State ii New York; the goods are held
here, and sold here for profit; are pro-
tected BY our laws, and yet they pay no
tax towards the support Of the government
that protects and upholis the merchant in
the safe transaction Of his business; while
the farmer who owns perhaps one hundred
dollars worth Of personal property, in a
large majority of cases owes nothing and
therefore must pay the tax upon his per-
sonal property.
Again farmer owns farm worth two
thousand dollars and it is mortgsged for
fifteen hundred dollars under tie present
law the farmer must be taxed for two
thousand dollars worth of land, and the
holder OF the mortgage-if residing here
is taxed for the fifteen hundred dollars
SO that two thousand dollars worth of &C
tual tangible property, because it happens
to be ldnd,is made basis for .evi rG tax
on three thousands five hundred dollars ::
while personal property owned and he'd
here in this State, TO the amour. Of tweiftE
thousand dollars, under the provisions OF
the present law escapes taxation altogether.
We hope to see this discri,Iin ation in
favor Of personal property, and against
Real estate done away with by p,sctcal
adoption by the State Legislature Of the
Governors suggestion.
