QUITTING NEW YORK STATE.
Former Occasions When Secession
Has Found Advocates.

To THE EDITOR OF FIJI SUS-Sir. III
our newspapers n on the floor OF the
Constitutional Convention itself the
threat has recently been made that II
the convention does not grant to New
York city some satisfactory measure of
home rule and relief from excessive tax
alton the city will secede from the State.
This agitation recalls efforts In the past
to disintegrate the State when one Sec
ton or another had not been fairly
treated by the whole.
The present state Government was
formed in l17i. After the Revolution, in
1857. a constitutional convention was
held at Po%ughkeepsie to discuss the
adoption of the Federal Constitution. A
political battle royal mad taken place be-
tween the adherents Of Governor George
Clinton on the one side and Of John Jay,
Alexander Hamilton and Philip Schuyler
on the other. Clinton had been VIC
torious. and when the convention met at
Poughkeepsie his friends o~utnunbered
his foes about forty-three to twenty-five.
Clinton was opposed to the adoption OF
the Federal Constitution without an
agreement to amend IL.
At that time the merchants and resi-
dents Of New York city were strongly
in favor OF adopting the Constitution
Immediately without amendment, and
they threatened TO secede unless their
desire was granted. II was pointed out
that the eastern part of New Jersey and
the southern part OF New York would
make an admirable state, and that IL
the upstate residents did not accede to
their desires they must take the conse-
querces. The convention itself arrived
at a satisfactory compromise by which
the Constitution was approved upon The
agreement of jay and Hamilton TO urge
the amendments desired up State.
The mex serious attempt TO secede was
made by a business faction ir that part
Of the State of New York lying west OF
what Is known a. the Preemption Line,
which run north and south through
Seneca Lake. John Livingston and somo
business friends OF his from Hudson and
the surrounding country had obtained
from the lioquois a long lease of the
lani in western New York, and when
these leases were ~abrogated by the State
OF New York conferences were called in
what was then known as the far of
tennessee country. AMI efforts were made
10 have the inhabitants Secede.
A convention OF the conspirators was
held at Geneva In 1859 and vigorous
threats were made to repudiate the au-
thoriN of the state. \ compromise was
finally arrived at by which Livingston
and his friends received the title to 100
square miles OF land IN the old Military
Tract, and secession died.
Perhaps the most discussed suggestion
OF secession was made by Fernando
Wood. the well known Mayor of New
York. in 1851. Wood was "a politician
OF great ab.llty. lie held his power
against the opposition of both Tam
many Hall and the highbrows. ON
January : he stated the advantages of
the secession OF New York city. not only
from the state OF New York bu, from

being pumped out and worked to the
limit Of American energy.

All this Is very stirring and heart
enipg. Just as are the blast furnaces
roaring at full capacity and the radi-
outlook for crops of vast volume.
1t Is prosperity. abnormal, fictitious,
temporary perhaps, but still prosper
ity; a refreshing oasis In what was
fast becoming n very bleak and arid
waste stretching to depressingly far
horizons. Just what will happen
when the reaction following the war
sets in rests in the lap Of the gods.
But it hardly needs supernatural fore.
sight to suggest the ACCESSIBILITY of
keeping the ship trimmed for queer
weather ahead. And as a preliminary
to such trimming nothing could be
better than chucking overheard a good
deal of the legislative junk with which
the decks are cluttered.
