CONNECTICUT LEGISLATURE.
Hoosn or Rnriti-:sEiv'rA'rivi-zs, Jlfay 22.
An act for the observance. of the sabbath, was
taken up—the amendments made to the original
bill in the House were negatived by the Senate.
[It will be‘ reme.tnbered that the object of the a-
mendments was to limit the time during which
civil process should be restrained i024 hours,coin-
inencing Saturday night at l2 o’clock.] .
Mr. Keyes moved to reconsider and concur with
the Senate. The motion was advocated by the
mover and Messrs. Hart, Butler and \Velch, and
opposed by I\-‘fessrs. Johns-.on, Tracy and Footc.
lvlr. Johnson remarked that this subjecthad had
much discussion in this hotise and the amedments
were adoptéll by a large majority. That by cori-
curriug with the Senate it would look too much
like doing away all reverence for the Sabbath.
Mr. ll-art said that he had always been opposed
to doing any thing on this subject; but after ob-
scrvirig the course of this btrsiiiess he was in favor
ofa reconsideration and concurrence. He never
had the shadow ofa doubt in his mind, but that
I
out of the old Sabbatli laws, the committee had ,
made it good selection. Iltrtasltiw'sl1'-.id remained,
a part of whichwcrc dead and a part asleep, we
ought not to awake tbemyfor fear they would be
out upon us.
M r“. Footr: had no dispositioii to establish by law
what was holy time ; but it was neccssrry to fix
the time during which civil process should not
be served. No man ought to be arrested by an
ofliccr while going or returning from public,wnr-
ship. By the decision ofthe Supreme Court he
would be liable to be taken to prison while going-
to worship his God. It was well known that gun-
crally in this state, meetings were. llCl(.l on the
evening of the Lord's day.
Mr. Velcli said that we had begun at the wrong
end of the commandment—-we should enforce
that part of it which directs us to labor six days
before we enforced the keeping of the sabbath .
Mr. llart said that no advantage would result
from the amendments. II: was surprised when
the gentleman from VVindham introduced his a-
iiiendmeiit respecting the Sabbzitarians; no doubt
lie ditl.it-from the best motives. Ifihese amend-
ments w re retained we should have two Sabbatlis
in Connecticut. \Ve had a considera'ole code of
laws for the first day of the week, and we should
be under the necessity ofmaking a new set for the
seventh day. The coiistitntion says no preference
shall be given to any religious denomination. Do
the t'.abb;rtai‘iaiis enjoy the some pt'i\'il:'gt:$ as
the rest of community ? He thought we should
be under the r.ecessi'.y of niaking laws for their
support.
Zvlr. Kcycs said that the gentleman from Nor-
wich C'.ll‘l‘i.cLl an idea that the bill as left by the
Zlouse, would make the time more indefinite
than the aniei'rdme_nt. The gentleman from Clie-
shire says an oflicer will follow at man into a
house of worship, but no ofiicer would followa
man into a house of worship—-but if there is at
thief he ought to be followed into that house.
Motiur. to reconsider and concur negatived.
iliuy 23. An act respecting Jails and .IdIf()l‘S,
which passed this House was returned from the
Senate amended. [The object of the ':3r:nate’s

the Jailor or to have no benefit of the money left
for their keeping by the creditor, in those cases
where a man had taken a poor man's oath.) The
bill as reported by the committee required the
Jailor to pay the weekly allowance to the Debtor
in money, if he preferred it, and allowed him to
board at any place within the Jail liberties.
Mr. Church said that the Senate seemed to
have gone upon the principle of legislating for the
benelit of prison keepers ratherthan for creditor’s.
Senate’s amendment negatived.
On motion of l\r'It'. ll-art, his bill for repealin:e;
so much of the law as exempts ilic property of
the Clergy {to a limited amount) from taxation
was taken tip.
Mr. Church observed that he had heard no rea-
son urged for the passage of this bill but this, that
the exemption of the property of the Clergy was
unconstitutional. If he believed that this provis-
ion was either expressly or implie‘dly unconstitu-
tional, lic should be in favor ofthe present bill----
but it was not. If the Lcgislat_ure were about to
confer on any man or set of men, exclusive privi-
leges or cnioluine.-tits, such as are intended in the
first chapter of the bill of rights; if they were a-
bout to endow any mercantile company, for in-
stancelike the East-India Company, with exclu-
sive privileges, that would be within the meaning
ofthe Constitution-—it had reference to cases of
that kind and no other. By otir laws the polls of
persons over7O years ofage are exempt from tax-
ation—was this vi-ilating the constitution ? It was
equally so with the law under consideration. hia-
gistrates were excitiptcd from military duty; had
any body ever heartl that this was unconstitution-
al ? Just so much so as the law the gentleman
wishes to repeal. The Constitution never intend-
ed to restrict the Legislature from exempting the
property ofthe Clergy from taxation, when public
3;jf)0(l required it ; and this was not conferring ex-
clusive privileges or emoluments on any set of
men. There is another class who are exempt
You exempt -the property of Yale College and
their l’rcsident and Professors from the poll tax.
You also exempt the property of all Literary and
Charitable Institutions. Did any one believe that
this was unconstitutional? Certainly not. These
exemptions ‘were made for benevolent and lauda-
ble purposes ; for the interests of virtue and the
good of community---and the principle was right.
It was proper that this little pittance of the Cler-
gy should be exempted--and he hoped we should
not aim our legislative batteries exclusively at
them.
Mr. Badger said that he was in i'avot'- of the re-
peal of the proposed law, but not because it was
unconstitutional. It would seem front the argu.
ments of some gentlemen that the constitution
was a bar to acting at all. He was in favor of this
bill on the ground that the Clergy were not enti-
tled to this exemption any more than any other
set of men. He had never seen any reason why
a Clergymaii worth considerable property should
be exempt, and a poor man worth $500 taxed.
The Clergy, generally speaking. were not veryla-
borious-—they might study six hours in a week
and they nsiglit not two. It was a hardship to ina-
ny of them to be called to a neghbour’s li‘o-use to
offer consolation to those who needed it. one
day in the week was sufficient -for their labours...
it might to be sure be different with some.-—Il' we
attempted to introduce a bill to alter the present
law we were ‘considered as standing on unholy
ground. There was no propricty in granting to
any set ofmcn exclusive privileges. They lived
generally in a handsome style——were well paid--
and because they ‘were able, they ought to contri-
bute for the expences of the government.
Mr. Foot regretted that any gentleman Sllmlltl
speak disrespectfully of the clergy. As to the
remark of the gentleman from VVindham, that
the duty of a clergyman is not laborious--if he
did his duty faithfully it was laborious, and if-he
did not, he was answerable to his conscience and
his God. The people of this state had a respect
niaiiitained.
Mr. Badger said that he meant no disrepcct to
the clergy-—-he loved a good man whether a cler-
gyman or any other man. VVith their salaries
they were as able to pay as almost any class of
men ; and he believed it ‘Has the general opinion
in the part ofthe state where he resided, that the
clergy who have large salaries and fare sumptu-
ously every day, should pay their proportion of
expense. He did not respect any man because
he held an ollic-:, but be respected a man accord-
ing to his real worth.
M r. Slosson hoped that the House would pause
their aitc ntion to the state of society in Connec:i-
cut, and ask what were the causes that liatl raised
our Cllttl':tClCl' in the eyes of otir own people rural
of people abroad ? 'l'.hey will find that our clei'gy
have been one of the principal causes. If we
looked at the circumstances of the clergy, we
shall find them generally pnnr—.—tlicre were very
few-ofthcm who possessed property out of their
own societies, and the difliculiy stated by tlie'ta'-;ii-
tlcman from East Hatlclani would rarely v-('.r‘2'rr.
The gentleman from VVindiiam had said that our
clergy were idle and did nothing. He would ‘ask
him ifhe had not an opportunity almost every
evening in the week to hear preachiiig,and to hear
them perform their appointed duty.
Mr. 'l'ierit remarked that the grand people of.
this State had heard it rlechu-ed from the (les,l{1l]a[
religion was in danger-—-it had been so rleclzircd
before the cliaiigc of atlrniiiis'.rat...ii tool’. ,.-race-

females presenting 100 runs or yarn to clergymcn
.._they we“e placed in a better situation now than
before. He hoped the bill would pass.
Mr. \Vood said that the law was not originally’
inade to favor any privileged order‘; but was a
measure adopted by our ancestors for the purpose
of promoting public worship. It was their policy
for the clergy and he wished it should always be,
and reflect before they passed this bill——zind turn i
i A bill was passed, apfiointing l{obei't Faircliild,
Chief Judge. and Stephen \’Vliee_ler and Zalmon

26. The bill for the observance of the Lord’s
day which had passed this house with certain a-
mendments, which wereiiegativerl in the Senate
(and upon the ‘different votes of the two houses
committees had been appointed) nowcame from
‘ that body with the vote ofthe senate agreeing to
all the amendments of this house, excepting the
one which restrains civil process * from 3'. o’clock
on Saturday night to 12 o’clock on Sunday night’
-—'l‘he bill as it passed the Senate restrained ci-
vil process‘ * during the Lord’s day’——\vhicli ac-
cording to the decision of the Supreme Court,
extended from the rising to the setting of the sun
on that day. .
Mr. Ingei'soll moved that the House reconsid-
er and concur with the Sen:-rte. Motion t~:tippOt't-
ed by the tumor and Messrs. Bellamy and Hart,
and opposed by Messrs. Foote and Johnson, and
iiegativccl lots to 74.
On motion of Mr. Foole, the house then resol-
ved to adhere to their vote.
The committee on petition ofthe Foreign Mis-
sion School at Cornwall, reported a bill fora pub-
lic act, cxempiirig the polls of the l’rincipal, In-
strtictors and Students from taxation.
The Report of a committee lt) whom certain
of the revised Statutes had been referred, which
were rt-porter! by the committee of .l.le\'ision,
wnerciri small alterations" had been made, was
read——nn bills accompatnictl their report.
M r. Johnson thought that the Bills in which al-
terations had been made, should at any rate be
read and passed by the house; those acts wherein
no alteration had been made need not be read.
It was contended by several gentlemen that as
these bills had been examined by the committee
of revision, and also by another committee ap-
pointed by this house, there would be no occasion
of going through the form of reading them ; that
the committee in their report had pointed out all
the alterations--tliat their labor was entirely lost
if they were to be read, and that it was proper to
pass them en II.'aS':‘(‘. -
Aflr:r some debate on motion to postpone the
report, the question was Ilt:_L'_l-.l!l\'L’£l 82 to 62.
M r. Johnson said the wheels were now blocked
up ; no were going to pass a book of oflaws out

to encourage literature and religion--anti it had
never yet been con:’iLlered unconstitutional to en-i
courage literature. It had been the policy ofthis ‘
goveriitneztt also to encourage religion. The law I
originally extended to all the property of the cler-
gy for this reason-—-In the early settlement ofthe
state the population was sparse——tlie people «.vr:re
unable to bring public worship to their doors. In
order to give ciicourtigcnient to the clergy arnoug‘
the small population then existing, it was said that
their property should be exempt from taxation. In
this way a general encouragement was held out.
ted amount, societies were enabled to get minis-
ters on better terms than they otherwise would.---
lie was surprised at the remarks which had fallen
from the gentleman from \Vindham. He did not
know that the clergy in that part of the state were
of that description--they were not where he resi-
ded. Ifa cler{,;yn'ian is settled on so small ti pir-
tance that lie is obliged to labour six days out of
seven you must expect prcacliing aCCOl'(fll'lg‘ly---
c-mainly not that kind which was the most useful.
He saw nothing in the present law which was un-'
constitutional ; anti he hoped this state would con-
tinue to hold out the same kind of ciicoui'ag:t‘uent
which it had hitherto done.

The Committee appointcrl by the late (‘-on'-‘cn-
lion ofthe President and Fellotvs of the Connec-
ticut Medical Society. for the purpose of collect-
ing in formation respecting the number and condi-
tion of the insane in this state, and of (.lC\I‘.'5lllg' a
plan for a Hospital forthe i'etreat and reco\'61'Y 0f
such patients, take this occasion to request the
co-operation and supportof theirmedical brethren,
tire Clergy, and all the lJtDt:V0lt:nt and compas-
sionate, who feel an interest in the welfare of this
unfortunate class of beings.‘ - _
The present is eminently an age for religious,
charitable, and humane institutions. Such en-
terprises. at the present day, are crowned with a
success hitherto unparallellcd in the history of the
world. Indeed so \\ ell are these subjects under-
stood, as to be almost reduc<;d to the certainty of a
_science. \Vben any new establishm-:nt is de-
manded, its utility and importance need only be
made to appeal‘, and the benevolence of the pub-
lic places the means within our reach. The ar-
dor which has been universally shown, for mello-
raiing the condition of the sick and the destitute,
for extending the blessiiiggs ofcivilization, knowl-
edge, and the arts, to distant savage and pagari ita-
tions, and for the general diffusion ofcliristianity,
by means of missions, schools, and the circulation
of the script tires, has been pr0sp::i'c(l beyond the
most sanguine expectations.
But while devoted to these truly great and
‘laudable undertakings, we have hitherto neglect-
ed all effectual means of mitigating the evils of
one ofthe most fiequeiit and distressing calami-
ties to which the human race is subject. Cer-
tainly the loss of reason is to be coiiteiiiplateyl as
pre-eminent in the catalogue of human afilictions.
The number ofthe insane, the liopelesstiess of
recovery under ordinary means, and the Iiftscry
resulting both to the sufl'cre'rs and their friends,
is far beyond the conception of those, who liuve
not paid particular attention to the subject. If
any reliance can be placed upon an estimate made
from some individual towns. there must exist at
this time, between two and three thousand insane
persons within the limits of this state.
The utility of the asylum for the deaf and dumb
is universally acknowledged. Its success has ex-
ceeded the expectations of its warmest friends,
and it promises to be--indeed it is already ranked
among the most valuable institutions of the-state.
Ten years ago, the project for this _asylur‘n was
attended with vastly greater difliculttes, than can
now attend that under consideration. It is believ-
ed, as in that case, the public need only be inter-
med of the utility and practicability of the meas-
ure, to be induced to carry it into speedy effect.
There are certainly twenty, and probably more,
insane persons, to one that is deaf and dumb.-
There is not a single argument in favor ofan asy-
lum for this last mentioned class, which will not
apply with ten-fold greater force, in favor of an
institution for rt:c_laiming the insane.
‘ lfthe mind shrinks for a moment at the as-
pect ofthis terrible di‘seas'e, which seems calcula-
rcad a third time. Bill postposed.
ted’ to humble the reason of man, it must after-
l\s2,:i'ds feel pleasing emotions in considering. all
that an ingenious benevolence has, [in other coun-
tries] been able to invent, to cure and comfort
the patients afilicted with this malady.’
Had it not been for the oversight and neglect
of our predecessors, two thirds of all our maniacs
might, long ago, have been restored to society.-—
l*‘or want of a suitable institution, they are now-,
nearly all, forever losr—~and not merely lost. but
they remain monuments of the deepest distress
and misery, not only of theinsc-Ives, but of all a-
round them. ’ .
ilillt Wtlll in insahily is a disease, which iti
impossible to inanage with much success, in pri-
vate practice. Suitable treatment requires pecu-
liar taltruts, which are far from being universally
or even commonly possessed, and it requires
that there slioolri be Physicians aad attendants ex-
clusively (lc\'(v'lc(l to the patients. and that the pa--
blc for carrying the proper medication into tficct.
In private fuinilies there is no opportunity of
applying that moral regicm, uhich is so indis-
peus-ahlc in the manageineiit of every disease ‘of
the: mind. In many instances. by suitable address
alone, the peculiar hallucinat_ion. which consti-
tutes the disease, may be i'ei‘n0vc(l, and the pa-
tient rcstortd without a particle of medicine. To‘
insure success liotvcyer, it is absolutely necessa-
ry, that the insane should be committed to the
cliaige of strangers. Parents and heads of fami-
lies, \\ ho have been in the habit of commanding,
and being obeyed, by cliildrc-n anti domestics, can
never be utlcquatcly controlled by them, norcan
frieiids and neighbors interpose with much better
effect. In fact it is often a cause of the continu-<
ance and one of the greatest. aggravations of the
disease, that the maniac is sensible, that he has
lost his influence over his family and friends, and
that he finds. he has for-fr-.ited their confidence.
Hence in private practice, chains, and even more
severe coertion, are frequently indispensable;
but, in a proper retreat, the insane are protected.
from the ill-jurlgetl severity, and unavoidable neg-
lects men of their nearest C‘JZ'iliCI-Litllls ; for strange
as it may seem, it will be found, on exarnination,
that frotn ig;iroraiit'e of the real nature ofthe dis-
ease, rieuds usually confound the I'~‘:l:‘t:Ull(lUC[ of
the patient, with origiiial perversity of temper.
In auiiitiuii to the essential improvement ofthe
situation of the paticiit, a Hospital produces incul-
culablc l’*.‘lI'.'fl0tl1&:l.|'IClN'lS. A thousand tnaziiucs
diffused through the State, inf-allibly (ll‘Lt‘.'.‘!i into
the vortex of misery, three or four thousand of
their conno:xions.
In a wrll :‘ =gulatt~d Hospital, two thirds at
least, of all the recent cases are rccovert-d, and
restored to society. It is tery questionable,
whether private practice can boast of a tenth of
this number. 1 is consequently the greatest hu-
manity to the patients, as well as their friends-—
nay, II no bcncvolclice iniperatively demands us,
to provide such a retreat.
A Hospital is the only place that afibrds means
of iiiiprovcmciit in the manageiiient ofthe insane,
and the only place WllL“l‘t: practitioners, can be
trained to cotiipetetit skill. In at Hospital, the ag-
gregate expence of attciirlatits, support, and med-
ical treatment, is much less than in private prac-
tice. \Vlicn a public imtit-uio-»_i= -m_<.-. c$t'dUilsr.,,

same inducements to send their ins-an-: friends as
the poor, and as towns can send their insane pau-
pers, with less expo-nee‘, than they can support
them at borne. _
The neglect which this subject has hitherto re-
ceived in this Stare, can be accouiircd for upon no
other principle, than that the mind becomes cal-
lous to the evils, which are constantly within its
sight. ‘.Vith the warmest wishes for the success
oz every other benevolent institution we loudly
flatter ourselves. that the time has arrived, when
ezcrv object of liuiiitiiiity, will have its due weight
in otir hearts, and receive its full proportion of
ourcharities. Surely their can be nothing ne-
cessary, but a proper difi'nsion of information.

by this forlorn class of human beings, l()gCl.lit-.t‘
with the practic-.ibility of so great an alleviation,
in order to induce the public as readily to found
and endow an institution of this kind, as to en-
gage in any one of the cliaritics, which are alrea-

i Tlie Coinmittee have no other interest in the
furtherance ofthis design, than that which is com-
