Halk-way RxPCDlATlOJt.?We regret to see a
?class of legislators andj urnals engaged in raising
nice- distinctions in regard to Repudiation, and con?
tending that, while a State ought to pay the utter?
most farthing of her bwnds for which she has
received full value, vet she is justified in refusing
payment on others, as in cases where she has
entrusted them to others for nego'iition and tbey
have retained or squandered a good part of the
proceeds?or where her agents have hypothecated
them for much less than their face and been unable
to prevent their sacrifice?or even where those
? gents have actually sold them on a credit, to pur?
chasers who provod dishonest or unable to nay for
them. These cases, it is speciously contended,
form exceptions to the general rale?the State
Hoes not really owe the money, and ought not to
pay it. Let us consider the question.
A State?siay Indiana?deliberately resolves to
establish a State Bank on borrowed capital, or to
embark largely in Internal Improvements. Hei
Legislature passes acts accordingly, authorizes the
issue of bonds and the negotiation of loans, an?'
appoints Commissioners to do the business. The
bonds are executed by the proper authorities, and
put in the hands ef her Commissioners to nego?
tiate. All this is matter of public notoriety.
Each is a solemn promise of the State to pay to
the bolder the principal and interest stipulated
therein. It is not a promise to pay in rase the
!5ank is well managed and makes money, or in
case the internal Improvements prove a profitable
investment?these are the risks voluntarily a?.
sumed by the State, and not imposed by her on
those who may be induced to furnish her with the
means ef ptosocuting her undertakings. She aays
to the whole world. ' Lend us money, and taki
our obligation, payable to any one who may hold it.'
[n this form, being readily negotiable and trans?
ferable, the obligation is more valuable than in any
other, and of course commands n higher price. 1'
i i the interest of the Stato so to i?stie them, even
in view of the fact thai llieii facility may be abused.
Well; the bonds are issued, and voluntarily
transferred by the State's agents to purchasers or
brokers. They are unconditional promises of the
Slate to pay to beater s? much for value
received. For some she has received value;
f .r others she hus taken part pay and pait promi?
ses ; for some her agents may have chosen to take
promises alone. At all events, they are sold, and
thrown into ihe market, atul have per Imps passe I
through rive hundred hands before interest day. It
comes at length, aad the holder steps to the propei
quarter for his interest. He ts met with a rebuff:
"Sir, for this bond we received full consideration,
" and we will pay the interest ; but th.ni/ one was
" bought by a swindler or bankrupt who has kre
" ken his contract to pay for it, or was bypotheca
" ted wdh a broker for a quarter of iis face, and
" sold to cover bis lien?so we shall not pay for it:
"aid this is partly paid for arid partly not; you
"must wail till we boo how we come out with it,
" and we will then tell you whether we ahull pa)
" all, or part, or nothing."?' But,'says the trem?
bling holder, ' I found these solemn promises
' of Indiana to pay so many dollars to the
bearer, floating in the market; I bought them at
' their current value?one the same as another, re
' lying on the pledged fuith of the State : you do
'not deny the promise; I ask its fulfilment: the
'bread of my children, the education of tint orphans
' whose means I have here invested, depend upol
'yuur fidelity. The folly ef your agents in volun
' tarily parting with the bonds for inadequate con
' sideration or on insufficient security, was a mat
' t.er entirely within your discretion and beyond
' mine. Pay me, or give me a chance to establish
' my cluitn in a Court of Justice.'?" Sir," says the
State Treasurer, buttoning up his pocket, ?< l ean";
"he bothered. IIV sold our bonds to rascals, and
" yon must sutler for it. We won't pay, and you
" ean't sue us. Make tracks, and whistle for youi
" money I"?Now it may be that there is a softei
t'rni for this than swindling ; but can any be more
appropriate I
One year ago we would ba\e appealed to the
honor of americans to spurn from them this ab
horrent doctrine of Repudiation in every shape
and form : since the result of the Mississippi Elec?
tion wo can only appeal co Whigs ; and we beseech
them to hear and heed us. We see intimations in
the journals that Whig Senators in Indiana bav<
given countenance to the project of repudiating
those portions of the State Bonds fairly in the
hands of innocent holders, for which no considera?
tion has been realized. If any entertain such h
purpose, we beseech them to renounce th-.- Whig
party forthwith, bill go where their doctrines and
their principles will ensure them a welcome and a
congenial atmosphere. Gladly would we be found
i.i a hopeless minority, and subjected to perpetual
defeat, rather than be tainted with il.e fraternal
breath of Repudiation, and the lasting infamy which
it must entail on all concerned in it. If a Stale
with a population of Seven Hundred Thousand
and a property valuation of Two Hundred Mil
lions, shall deliberately resolve to turn common
s wind terato rid herself of a fraction of her debt ol
Fifteen Millions, we pray that she may at the same
time lake up hei proper place in the ranks of L<>
co-Focoism. and stay there until she shall have be?
come renewed lo Honesty and Truth.
A Dreadul Tragest. The Georgetown,
Ohio, Standard, of the 13th inst., says?? On Fri?
day morning last, Mr. Hugh O'Neil, of Perry
township, in this county, was found dead near the
door ft" his house, and his house burning over the
murdered bodies of his wife, and three children t>l
T. 0. Rilev. who were living with the deceased.?
From circumstances, it was supposed that he mm
dcred his wife and the three children, set fire tu
the bouse, and cut his own throat. No other
cau>e can be assigned for this horrid deed than
mental dcrangemoat.
Heads Up!?W e are gratified in being able t>
announce thai the loan of $100,000, in aid of tbr
Housatonic Railroad Company, has been taken up.
and almost exclusively by tie Stockholders. W *

oa the subscription books. The Directors, in the

time ot resuming payment on demand. As thr

The Society then adjourned to the 22d of De?
cember, 1542. x
A: 3 o'clock. P. M. the Society and its friends
assembled in the Tabernacle, where, after an OJe
by the New-York Sacred Music Society and a
Prayer by Rev. Dr. Spri.no, the Annual Oration
was delivered by Prof. C. B. HaDDLtk of Dart?
mouth College. N. H. After n retros-ec: of the
nistory connected with the Landing of the Pil?
grims, the Orator proceeded to a searching analy?
sis of the distinguishing traits of their common
charactct, and the im; rcss which they have left en
their defendants, and tiiencc upon the face ef out
Continent. He maintained that, apart fum theii
reverent piety mid dauntless energy, their indus?
try, sobriety and ali dome-tic virtues, the Pilgrim
Fathers were eminently an educated and intel*
I lecttml people, fur before their age in their ideas
of Government, Society, and Freedom in Religion.
They were not perfect?they did not pretend to
be?hut the spirit which can overlook their lofty
Faith, their burning; Zea] for Right ftnd Liberty,
their vast achieve merits for Humanity, to dwell
upon their transient delusion in regard t~ Witches
and their harshness to the 4'iaker-. is not to Lc
envied but deplored.
Prof. Had duck closed with a beautiful elucidation
of the pet fees accordance of the love of Hone which
dwells in every New-Englander's breast w-ith that
spirit of fearless Enterprise which carries so many
of then: to the utmost corners of the earth. Through
all their wanderings and advciitutes. the love tt
Home is still the guiding-star of every true Son of
the Pilgrims; his heart points ever to the dear
spot of its nativity, und thrills at thn memory of the
sunny hill-sides ai.d smiling villages by which it is
surrounded. And at Inst when life's struggles
draw to their clause, w hen its fitful lever is nearly
ended, his spii il ye irris intensely fur the scene ot
its earliest associations, und bis form is often laiii
in death beside the father who guided his i.-.fant
footsteps, and the mother on whose bosom ho was
nourished.
?After the pe: formanm of the Grund Hallelujah
Chorus by the Sacred Musie Society and the in?
vocation of a hie-sing by Rev. Dr. Wainwright,
the meeting adjourned to the Astor House, where
the Annual Dinner was prepared, to which about
three hundred ladies j:it down to a sumptuous and
elegatit banquet, from winch all Wines nnd Al?
coholic Liquors icerc strictly excluded. In the
face of a violent attack from the lending organ of
depravity in our City, every tb-ket had been so d
before 3 o'clock of the day, arid many applied fot j
them unsuccessfully.
At 7 P. M. the company snt down to their ie.
past, which was graord by the prescHce? of over
one hundred fair Daughters of New-England.
After ample justice had been done to the subslati
mils and delicaries provided, the cloth was re.

? Tuesday, Dec. SI.
To supply the deficit of .$14,218,070 in ike
Treasury for 1S42. as estimatisd in the report of
the Sf cretarr of the Treasury, in arcount of which
was ci'-'en in my last, the Secretary recommends
an extension of the term of that portion of the
Twelve MtlHon Liar, not set ttiken, aad a re-i-sue
of Five Million* Treasury Notvs for the bahnen of
deficit then remaining, and Two Million Dollars
estimate! necessary to meet emergencies of the
public service: he recommends an imposition of du?
ties on foreign articles imported into the United
States, to be selected -i with due regard to a rigid
restriction, in amour.:, to the actual wants of Gov.
eminent, and a proper economy in its administra?
tion." He then lay- down the principles which
should govern the adjustment of the Tariff for thi3
end.
The usual number and Ij.OQn extra copies of i e
report wore ordered to be printed in die Senate.
The Secretary's Fiscal plan as described in the
Message, uas to-day laid before both H .?-.>. aji.i
in the Hons" referred to the select coremitti.c
that subject.
In the Sen \te several bills were reported;?
tmong which are the following : by Mr. Hu.VTlS ?
tos, iron the Commi'teeon Commerce, mensosing
the pay of revenue officers who Und been ser.i::g
in tiie Navy ; by Mr. Smith of la. lot the ere uion
of u land district in Missouri:; by Mr. Linn, for
the relief of certain companies of Missouri volun
! teers. Various other bills of a private character
wen1 reported ami introduced.
Mr. Linn in pursuance of previous notice intro- ?
duccd a bill to repeal the Uistiibtition Act, and ap-1
proprio? the proceeds of the lands to the military
defences of the country : which having been once
rend, and the question beinj on its reference, an j
interesting debate sprung up continuing for over
two hours, in which many Senators participated.
Mr. Linn recommended the reference to the j
Committee <>u Military Affairs, as this Committee,
baring: in charge the defence of the country, was
prepare! to b>ok into this subject. Mr. S?lTH, of
Indiana, ?* Chairman of the Committee on Public
Land-, could not report favorably on it if sent to
thai Committee. Mr. Calhou.n thought the sub?
ject belonged t? neithei of t.'se above mentioned
Committees, but moved that it be referred t- a Se- j
leci Commttee. Mr. Fierce spoke of the im- 1
parlance of the bill, nnd the great need of appro?
priations f-jr the defence of the country. Mr. Al?
len vehemently advocated the repeal of the Dis?
tribution Act, and the appropriation of the land
proceeds t" the defence of the country. Mr. Pres
ton said, according to the instructions of his State,
tie thought distribution inexpedient and unwise;
and contended thul in the present state of the
country the best defence was to bo found in n
healthful fisc und sound Treasury. Mr. BtJ< has?
an though the reference sboulaV.be made to u Com
mttt-e who would fairly present iho subject to the
American People. The subject ought to be con?
sidered in n financial view, and the reference ought
tobe to the Committee on Finance. He discours?
ed largely on economy, opposing the extravagance
of the Government, und mentioning the proposition
of ihe Post Master General to appropriate about
eight millions to Kail Road Companies for the
transportation of the trail. Messrs. Kino, Bah
kow and W oop ii wry advocated the reference ton
Select Committee. Messrs. MaKGUN and PREN
ri-s said it wus u bill of no details that required
toe examination of any Committee, but was in op
position to the will of the Senate, which will would
most dirr-ctlv be iiscertaitied by n direct vote.
The motion of reference to a Select Committee
faib-dt Yens 17; Nays 24.
Mr. KiNii then moved the reference to the Com?
mittee on Military Affairs, and Mr. Barrow t.?
the Committee on Finance. Mr. Rives opposed
the reference to any Committee, and called o divi?
sion of the question so us to vote fir-l on the com
mitt in:: of the nill. This was decided it, the nega?
tiv : Yeas lb': Nays 25.
The bill was tuen, on nioti n of Mr. Linn.
ciude the special order forth ee weeks from tc-daj.
In the IL.cse, the debate was continue 1 on the
reference of that portion of ti e President's Mes?
sage relating to ;ii Tariff, the original resolution
offered by Mr. Fillmore directing it to the Com?
mittee on Manufactures, im i the amendment ol
Mr. Athkrton to the Committee of Ways and
Means.
Mr. Solers o' <1. advocated the refen nee to
the Committee on Manufactures; w.u. h was co -
stituted to take charge of this subject. He favor, d
protection.
Mr. Linn of N. \. mode an able speech in favor
of ihe reference to the Committee on Manufac?
tures, advocating; the principles of protection and
showing that a mrui for revenue and protectii n
were not incompatible. He remarked incidental?
ly thut it the issue were mad<?which was unne?
cessary, and which he should regret?in the nd
iusrment wf the tariff between free and slave labi r
ha ihou d fee] bound to go in favor of the free svs
tcm.
Mr. H'm. Bi'tler o' S. <"., favoring the refer
ence to the Committee of Ways and Means; prin
i ipally directed his remarks o a rep y io pn ? iot ?
arguments; and, among oim r-, to th' grounds
taken by Mr. Linn, styling it a sentiment which
common lioi.esiy, good tuiih, and regard t ? con- ;?
tuiionui obligations, could never sanction, than
which the highway robber never uttared a broadei
principle of plunder ami rubbery. He com -nde.i
that the Constitution guaranteed to the South equ ?
protection to their labor w th that of the N irtb,
and placed them on the same footing.
Mr. Rayner contended that the tar.rt propose 1
to be raised being for revenur, the subject shouid
go to the Committee of Ways and Means, which
had control of tne subject of Revenue. He sp ike
al length, with his accustomed eloqueree and
ability, and avowing himself totally opposed to
Protection, a* it submitted other portions of the
Union to onerous exactions for tne bent-nt of manu?
factures. Reference had been made to the views ot
the acting President on this .-ubj-ct. He \ Mr. K.
knew not nor car"d what they mishi be. It ill
became the great Wh g party whose wateb-wor t
had been ' Resistance to Kxecuttve Dictation' to
consult the views of tlie acting Pr-sidem on this
subje. t. It was apparent tiiat he whs hi favor ol

seen by our Washington letter, was transmitted to

the general outline of the measure proposed by the
President in his recent Message cud that he ' is di?

a general exposition of the views entertained by
him. and concurred in by his constitutional advisers,
respecting it." Our readers are already acquainted

KINGS COUNTY OY'Efl AND TERMINER
Brooklyn .. Wednesday. Dee. 22
William H. Cook, (who had been arraigned on
eight indictments forburglary) was put upon his thai
charged w ith breaking into the house of Mr. Hokoe.
No. 77 Clark street. Brooklyn on a Sunday ntght in
the early part of Sept. li'JO.
Edward olangum, oneofthe accomplices, testified
that Cook proposed to himself and Nesbit to go to
the bouse of Mr. Bokee, stating that he had found
out a good place. They went between 12 and - o'
clock?lifted up the grate on the sidewalk leading to
the coal vault, when Cook entered, unfastened the
basement door, and they all went in. They regaled
themselves on pics, water melons, and other things
they foundTn the house, gathered up a lot of silver
plate, n mantel clock, a quantity of clothing, and some
other things, and w ent ou, carrying what they bad ob?
tained to the Eagle Tavern. Cook went back alone
a'od returned at broad daylight w ith a tin pail con?
taining a quantity of butter and bread. He seemed
to act as if it was nil a matter of course.
For the defence it was contended that the prisoner
is not and baa not been, of sane mind. His mother
(an interesting looking lady) testitird that he bad got
frequently hurt by the carelessness of n nurse, and
by fit!'-, on the head, and pointed out the scars left
by the wound. Several other witnesses testitied le

pocket book in the theatre and put it back, after look
: ids over a large amount of money. The bait took.
. anil a newly arrived abstractionist, t. c pickpocket
ea.-ed aim of his book. He and a fellow officer iin
mediately arrested the offender, and took from him
a r>ur:e of sovereigns attd here a veil is drawn over
the transaction ; for ray informant saw the officers
leave the pickpocket at* the corner of Chambers st.
and let him so fats way. The sovereigns they proba?
bly kept for, their trouble " "I bave.already said
enough today j on another occasion IwilL if you ap?
prove ofthis, give you further proof, and also exa
? mine the standmg of certain Uuirks who stand by to
: rob the felon after he lias robbed the foolish."
It was .-liar^ec. in the indictment, although t ?' -->"???'?
were used, that officers Bowyer and Gilbert P, Hays,
wer-- the officers alluded to tu the publication.
! Tue District Attorney opened the case tor the
people; Messes. James" M. Smith and Marshal j.
Bacon appearine for and conducting the defence.
Gilbert F. Hays, officer, deposed that he was in
the Park Theatre in the latter part of August, when
a pickpocket was arrested., and that he was acquaint?
ed with the transaction, to which the publication al
luded. He stated that Bowyer and himself saw .1
pickpocketnamed John Williams alias Davis, near the
box office of t.'ie theatre?that Bowyer took out his
pocket book and replaced it. and that the pickpocket
soon stole the pocket book, and was arrested by Bow
yer and witness; and lodged in the watch house
That nearlv $100 in gold pieces was taken from him
and handed over to the Captain of the Watch?and
that Williams was afterwards tried, convicted and
sentenced to the ?t?te Prison for 5years. The wit?
ness was then asked whether he considered B?wyer
and himself the persons alluded to in the publica
lion?but objection was made by defendant's counsel,
and alter argument and the citation of authorities?
the question was then withdrawn. Witness then
said he did not know who were the editors or pro
prietors of the Sunday Morning News?that there
were 33 to 4U Police Officers and some half a dozen
tiientres m the city. Witness did not discharge any
prisoner at tiie corner of Chambers st. and did not
know any one who did.
Robert W. Bowyer, officer, deposed that he knew
the defendants and* believed them to be the editors
mid publishers of the Sunday Morning News, as they
had admitted to htm that they were. Witness pur
chased the paper containing the article at their office
No. 1 Beekman street oa the 26th September last.
Cross examined.'?There were other persons pre
sent when they informed the w itness that they were
the editors. Witness asked who wrote the article.
Mr. Barnett said they received communications but
gave no name Witness then asked who were the
editors and proprietors of the paper and whom lie
was to look to .' Mr. Barnett pointed to Mr. Dra| er
aud said they were responsible for what was pub
lisned in tbe.paper The article charged as libellous
was then reaj from the Sunday Morning News?ind
Mr. Bowyer proceeded to give substantially the same
of the arrest of Williams the pickpocket, as was
given by Mr. '!. F. Hays. He added, however,
that Williams offered them $.r>0 to let him go, win. Ii
they refused, and he was convicted anil sent to the
State Prissn.
The Court then adjourned.
