ALBANY, April 7.-Governor Dix, in n
message To the Legislature, to day, says:
'Ideem it due to the interest and honor
OF the State to call upon you, as its
chosen representatives, to take into con-
sideration the propositions before Con-
gress in regard to the currency, though
immature and requiring the concurrent
action of both houses to give them the
validity of law, they have, nevertheless,
received in each such partial sanction
as to excite serious alarm as to the re-
suit. Your opinion, representing as you
do, more largely than the Legislature of
any other State, the financial and com.

carry with it great weight. The fla.

will be more apparent when you con-
slider that if adopted without repeating
the legal tender Act, it will be the most
tyrannical exercise and abuse Of fnan-

has ever been guilty. In times of peace
1t differs IN no essential respect, either
under its moral or its political effect,
from degradation OF the standard OF

would against any other food OF con.
tamination. I spenk with clear under
standing OF the force of my words. I
( believe and trust you will concur with
mein the opinion that the emergency
demands the plainest and most em phatic
language. I therefore recommend such
expression on your part as may comport
with the dignity of the Legislature, and
as you may deem due to the interest OF
your constituents. I am not without
the hope that o timely declaration of
Your views, to be presented to Congress,
