Bad faith on the part of New York,
the leading member of the Confed-
racy, must inevitably weaken very
greatly, ifit does not destroy, the cred
IL of our Government securities in for
eign markets. Compared with the
Importance OF this State action in its
effect upon the credit Of our Govern
ment. the cost ofpaying our interest in
com is insignificant. Aside from the
consideration of interest or policy, our
duty, in my judgment, was plain. 1t
is to pay the debts Of the State; TO
pay them in precisely the modo in
which they were promised to be paid;
to keep the honor of the State unsulh
ed; and to this plain duty we should
be true, cost what it may.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,

|
| ALBANY, April 90, 1864,
| SIR: The Legislature having made
no provision for the payment of the
interest on the State debt, as it should
be paid, in coin, and the Comptroller
having no funds which he can apply
to the purchase of coin for that pur.
pose, as last resort l appeal to the
men of capital, the bankers, the mer-
chants and Others of the people of our
great State who have its honor at
heart, to provide means, by voluntary
contribution, whereby at least so much
OF the interest as belongs to non-resi-
dent creditors, if not the whole, may
be paid promptly in gold or its equiv
alent. sF h 'is.7
Unless this be done the honor of
New York is lost. .p ..... rsE
In wealth and numbers, in the abil-
ity to pay, New York stands far
above every State in the Union. 9th
er States, inferior in means, do not find
the obligations of the hour too great
for an honest performance. If New
York falters now it can claim no indut-
gent opinion Of the world-the State
brands itself with dishonesty.
For the purpose of showing the his
tory of legislative action upon this
question, / append the message sent by
me to the Legislature last year and at
its present session. To you who areI
identified in the minds of the CONNER
cial world with the character and cred |
IL OF our noble State, to whom the
honor of New York must be a. your
own, appeal that you will, save the
State from this lasting disgrace. i ask
the bankers and merchants of our great
to act in this matter. 1t is
due to their future credit and their
future pride that they advance the
money which is needed to this end.
In the hands Of the active and en-
ergetic men of New York, whose
sIdrit Is always prompt to noble un-
tertakings, the honor OF our State Is
now left. .-. ..-,.,...,l

honor be paid to the last penny of our

His Message in 1861 Relative ts Gold
Payments. f..

When, in April, 1864, the question
touching the payment of interest due
upon State bonds arose in the New
York Legislature for the second time,
Gov. Seymour addressed the following
message to the Legislature, and sub
sequently the following appeal to bank
ers and others:
The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1868-10-02

heavy demands Of the Tax gatherer.'
HoRATIo SEYMOUR.
True, but did not Mr.. Seymour
omit to say that these taxes were
collected to pay a debt contracted in
the prosecution of war conceived,
begun, carried on and fought by
Democrats, in short, that these taxes
are collected to pay the great Dem
Iocratic debt? Is Seymour afraid to
tell the whole truth

TO the Legislature:
My attention has been called to a
concurrent resolution, which has pass
ed both branches of the Legislature in
the following words:
! WHEREAS, All the stocks issued by
this State were made negotiable in
this State; therefore,
Resolred, That 10 distinction should
be made between the foreign and do,
mestic holders of snch bonds as to the
currency in which the principal and in
terest thereon shOuld be paid. -'
To the prineipel laid down in this
resolution, in terms, there can be no
objections offered. All the creditors
of the State, whether they be of our
own people, or foreign, should be
alike paid; paid promptly and in full
all that was promised them. ..-I-
The Legislature last year adopted
concurrent resolution on this subject
i'll the following words;
ReSoiUed, That the interest accru-
ing on 30 much of the State debt on
the first day of April as was on the
first day OF March, 1868, held by per
sons residing out of the United States,
and is still. held by them, be paid in
gold OF its equivalent. .,.
And an, appropriation was made for
the purchase of coin to an extent /
sufficient 10 enable the Comptroller to
pay in gold the interests on the stocks
of New York, held by persons resid-
ing abroad and only to that extent.
the resolution of last year
did not in terms forbid the payment
Of the interest due to our creditors re-
siding in this country, in coin, yet the
absence of any appropriation for the
purpose obliged the Comptroller to
iorego such payment. In practice, a !
distinction was thus made between the
l0n resident creditor and the resident
;reditor. We kept faith with the
stranger who trusted us; we broke |
aith only with those of our owni
