Questioning

Mr. John Young, Whig cancíidale for Governor of New York, having becn ddnged with letters interrogatin? bim on inattcisof State policy, has nnnounced that he shall answer no such leners. This. no doubt, w] be ratlicr dístnteful lo the Ictter-writers. But lliere is reason in al I ihings. Tlie people ou!it to bc alle to know the npinions of candidates on all important politic&l questionson vKich tliecandda(es may f.e cnllcd to act : and how can they learn if those opinions are carcfully couccaled 1 On the other band where the views oía candidato have becn blicly explaincd, a separate letter for cach person s unnecessary. Yet the general rule should be í for tlie candidate to mnke his views fulla knmciv. and a refusal to answer reasonable questions, asked for information on important maners, isa suffiejent reason for the inquircr withholding hi, suífrage from thecandidnte. Ü-J" The valué of real ond personal estáte in the city of New York, as assesaed ibis year. is as follows :Were the wcalth divided equally ainong ilie population.it would amount to about $G62 to each person, or 3.310 to earh faniily- enough to make evcry inliabitant comfortably rich. The average of the valuaiion of the whole Stme oí New York, including the city, gives 216 to each person. EP We undersiand ihat the Rev. Prof. Finncy, of'Oberiin, spent the last Sabbath in Detroit, ond preanhed with great acceptance in the morningat the Congregational Church, (Rev. Mr. l Inmmond's) nnd i.i the cvening to a crowdctïaudience in the Presbyterian. (Rev. Dr. Duf field's) His preaching w.is niarked wiih thal terseness, pungency and hnppy illustration which has herctofore so distingu'ihed him. His published sermons on account of those qualïtier, huve atiracied great :itteniion obroad. He was among the earüest oí the ministers in this !an I to give Slavcry iis due. May his example be followed.tt? The Mqcomb county people seem to be strongly tinged with radicalism. Their paper, the Patriot, isa reform paper, going for all the notions oftho Young Democracy ; such os ilie dectiun of public officers, biennial sessions. no bnnks. judicial reform, &c. The candido tes to the Legislature hnve been questioned on these points, and by their answers we should jude that the whole population were of one minJ. the race of Oíd IJunkers having become extinct. Glad to see it. Let the people talk, discu83, íesolve, quea'ion, nnd gorern.
