Wednesday Zllay ‘.3.2.—Resiimed the con-
sideration of the bill in form on the petition
of \Vin. H. Coit, which was under consi-
deration when the House adjourned.
Mr. Eaton remarked that he would not
detain the house long with his remarks; but
as he was a member of the Legislature in
1802, at the time the question came up, he
would briefly state the views entertained at
that time. The great object was to secure
credit. Manufacturing establisnincrits start-
ed up like a fog bank, and promised to be
sources of profit to the individuals concern-
ed, and the public generally. At the close
of the war a new state of things took
place and disastrous consequences ensued,
‘establishments were started without solid
capital, and the change was for the purpose
of having the capital stock paid and not
liable to be withdrawn. Since that time,
no instance of failure in ‘Wiiulliani and New
London Counties, where there are 35 or 40
incorporated companies, has occurred; we
have therefore the e§:perienc_c of years on
the subject, and also the experience of our
neighbors in Mzissaclinsctts. If any one
doubts the correctness of this policy, let
them visit Lowell aml ‘Wultliain and their
doubts will vanish. }Vill it then be expe-
dient to. change this policy until evils grow
out of it? The object is to have capital
invested and not withdrawn, and though the
individuals composing the company may
fail, yet the company property-remains se-
curo. In this case, we do all that we can
do by law forithe security of the public.
There is one portion of the capital which is
in the nature of a pledge; about one third
must be invested in buildings and fixtures.
and cannot be withdrawn. He hoped the
amendment would not be adopted.
Mr. McCurdy remarked that at this stage
of the business he should do injustice to
the house, where he to trespass long upon
their patience ; and would only briefly state
his views on this important subject.
The case is simply this, anuinber of per-
so s associated for the purpose of prosecut-
ing .- ianufacturing business, and thcyinvest
in a common fund a given amount, and
hold themselves out to the world as objects
of credit, and virtually say, we have pledged
the capital for your security, and will .not
withdraw it, and if this, in your estimation,
is satisfactory security you can give us cre-
dit, otherwise not. - \Ve do not promise you
payment individually, but in our corporate
capacity. Now to hold these persons per-
sonally liable would be unjust. For what
reason shall we make this great change?
Theory may go far in favor of it, but one
fact is worth all the theories that can be ad-
vanced, and experience invariably testifies
that the failures which have occurred, have
not originated in the exemption of private
property. _
Mr. Cooley remarked that as the heavy
artillery of eloquence’ was discharged, he
would endeavor to present the subject in a
plain country dress; and ‘recapitulated the
arguments which had_been advanced and
decided pcremptorily,that unless the amend-
mcnts were adopted he would neither vote
for this or any act of incorporation which
might be presented to the house. He
alluded to the remarks of Mr. Lanman,. of
Norwich, who he denominated “ the Daniel
Vlfebster of Connecticut,” and whose com-
pliment he considered of the same value
with his arguments, of no consequence.
-He disclaimed the idea of self-interest, as he
was not in any manner comiectcd with cor-
porate bodies and hoped the house would
have good sense enough to adopt the amend-
ments which he thought iudispensiblc to the
security of the public. . —
Mr. Glazier had formerly been in favor o
provisions like this, but experience and ob
['I‘liis bill makes it‘
‘.
servation had entirely changed his views.
He was much in favor of protecting the
manufacturing interest, as he considered it
identified with the agricultural prosperity of
the eoinmunity. He had noticed the falla-
cy of the idea that laborers were under the
influence and power of manufacturers-
tlie contrary was the fact, laborers were
constantly speculating upon their employers,
he thought the amendment ought not to be
adopted. , _ ‘
Mr. Haley said that after the arguments
of the gentleman he was still in favor of
the amendment. He replied to the argu-
ment that credit was given to these compa-
nies undcrstandingly, by saying that credit
was generally given them without a know-
ledge of the fact, that their private proper-
ty was not holden. He insisted that it was
not embarrassing to a company or an indi-
vidual to place him in a situation where he
would be entitled to an extensive crcdit.——
He considered himself the representative of
the people generally, and could not be wil-
ling to go home and tell his constituents that
he had incorporated a company without
making their private property liable for the
payment of debts, and they must trust them
under these circumstances, if they trusted
them at all. '
Mr. J. C. Smith moved the previous
question, carried, and aniendmcntlost.
Resumed the consideration of the bill in
form, incorporating the Merchant’s Bank at
Norwich. .
Mr. Haley moved to amend the bill by
introducing a section making the private
property of the stockholders liable to the
amount of their stock, and argued its adop-
tion on the ground of its beneficial effects
both upon the Bank and the community.
Mr. Huntington hoped the amendment
would not prevail. Such a principle did
not exist in the charter of any Bank, mid
he thought it would be only holding out a
mere ideal security of no cohseqiience to
the public.
Mr; Butler moved to lay the bill on the
table to await the order of the day on the
Comptroller's report relating to Banks——-
laid on the table.
Bill for a public act for the protection of
feathered game, read second and third time

The order of the day on the bill for a public
act i'e;-etling two several acts entitled “fin act
for the" support of Literature and Religion,” and
‘An Act in addition to act, entitled, an act for
the support ofLite:'c-.t:irc and religion.”
Mr. Gl:i7..ier.was in favor of repealing the acts
ift.lie_v were in force; be was in the negative
when the law was niaclc. and be thanked God
that he had lived to see the time when he could
again record his vote again t the original law.
Mr. L:iriman_ had no doubt that the law was
originally drawn up with an acute pen and an
acute heiid,a.nd with a special View to dispose of
the funds in qiiestiou in the most satisfactory
mauimr. Ila believed that the acts confcred
vested rights which could not at this time be
touched. , lle also claimed that these acts were
repealed at the time of the revision ofllie slal-
v
n
srry, and if aiotmpted could not be opvrativc.
Mr. Mix did not agree with illr. Lanmau.
He stated that the funds in question involved a
vast amount of money and considered that
and aqucstioii of propriety.
history ofthe zirigin of the indebtedness on the
part ofthe United States that the sum of 145,000
5
and probably would in time be paid. He claim-
ed that as there was no consideration moving
the Legislature to make the original grant, cou-
of a contract. He did not believe in legislating
upon matters of religion. He believed religion
was :1 solemn matter between a man and his God,
and that every body ought to be at liberty tower-
ghip in their own way. The fact that this mou-
e_v ap,':ropi‘iated to the 'pI'Oln.Dl.I0|'.l of literature
and rcitg-lot! did not, in his estimation, go far In
ooinmendiugit to the favor ofthis or any other
legzslalurc. He also adverted to the int-quali-ty
of the distribution under that law, at the present
time, and tliattlieie were other objects, not pro-
vided for in the law. which had equal claims to
the munifieence ofthe State.
Mr. Judson opposed the doctrine ‘of vested
rights, advanced by Mr. Lanman, and illustra-
ted his idea of vested rights‘ by supposing this
Legislature should lay a tax of one cent on it
dollar for forty five years to come. He then pro-
ceeded to show the reasons why the bill ought
to pass.
Mr. I-lalcy remarked that he should not go
into the constitutional questions which had been
discussed byfthe gentleman who had occupied the
floor, but should confine himself to the question
of right in the case. From the fact that the
money came from the pockets of the people, he
argued that the law ought to be repealed. He
also drew an argument from the fact, that the
money distributed to the several religious socie-
ties, was appropriated to Clergymen; ineu, in his
oppinion, the least of all entitled to receive it.-
He was anxious that the money should get back
into the pockets from whence it ‘came, but did
not want it to go in fettered in any manner
whatever.
Mr. Raymond offered an amendment rappro-
priatingltlie money in question to the support of
the poorin theseveraltowns; but as this would be
running againstCliarybdis in endeavoring to avoid
scylla, he withdrew the aiiieiidnieet, and the
question was decided by Yeas and Nays—Yeas
190, Nays 6-
Mr. Foot, of Cheshire, remarked that he vo-
ted in the negative on constitutional grounds.

N. York he will pass through this state, Rhode

thence to Western New York. and return to
Wasliiiigton about the 4th of July. The time
allotted for his tour is so limited that it will be
