There is a provision in the bill winch retlects on the state It exempt trom debt between individuals but not against the stale There was a proposition made 1 1 anuv ec jna WGO na(1 purchased ot the state and pad enough to purchase forty acre into tne treasury to record forty acre It it had been that they should record forty acres whether thev had paid tor it or not it woalj have been more bartno mous ny ahou the state hive her honest debts paidanymore than individual? What is the dis tinction that come up betore us so bold and prom inent and I ill ad I invidious Tne date says to individuals you sh 11 not collect your honest debts but you must pay tne state and a high interest even tvveniy 5ve per cent and forfeit what you have paid unless you pay the whole I protest against ini kind ot legislation All that wasclilined was to record the land paid for In adopting a law we should adopt it on ume principle so that we can be able i tell why it waa passed Another thing th it ia beautiful in the bill I lav it down that there is not half tne men in the state mat nave got the amount of property protected by Ian bill and the othsr of exemption Then you are preventing from this very Get the pour from eoilectmguJebts from the more ealthy in more than half tne case It is the poor in ma iy caes who are eueiog those who are worm more than they are There was a proposition made that for work done or for necessaries of a life a man should ba able to collect hi pay but it was voted down After look ing it over it was not found lo be harmonious It wa repugnant to the principles of the bill and con trary to me laws ot nature that a poor man should ba permitted to get hi pay by law Another proposition wa3 voted down which puts to siiencc the assertion lh it it is intended for the benefit of a poor man which puts a qutetus on that It wa that if a man would come up aud swear that he was not worth $200 and another that il he would Swear he was not worth 350 in the world that then he might collect of aman that nad this homestea and a thousand dollar besides A in worth notning cannot collect ot a man worth two thoueind dollars enough lo buy bread for his family if they were starving 1 call it a bill ot abominations I believe I his bill if it pae will become a bve word and reproach to the state of Michig in A bill of this kind never can stan 1 tnete of experience it is opposed to every principle oi justice It is claimed th a it is popular but are our tables covered with petitions for it? No such thicm There may be a sampathy for a class of men those vv hs ive lived in ease and affluence It is bard for them lo be compelled to work but shall we pass a law to give an adv image to one class over another? We had supposed the world had token theliber ty to suppose the writings in the law books as lin ed tba: me character of a an wasof moreconse quence than bis property But it is discovered in 18 17 that character is nothing comparatively that the possession of property i the evidence of great ness and the amount on hand the criterion bv which to judge I look upon it as an unaccounta ble position taKen in the bill that a man may be allowed lo trespass on his neighbors steal thcr property slander do any rong and tort and hold his property secure against a claim 1 1 is as unjust as any thing in tne world can be tn the shape of a bill Il is an abomination I regard it as such The people of the state will regard it as such and the democracy of me state will never sanction it Vhtrn a man get mad at hi neighbor will he not cut down hr trees or his corn? There are men enough that will do it If the law will sustain taetn in their malice when quarreling with their neighbor toey will go to the extent of the law Tuey have a right to do it And they will do it thereis no mistake in that matter Again are we going to produce peace and harmony in family mat ters the list of alt things to be disturbed Is it not the very thing to induce women wheth er there is reason or not to make the Will they not asume a kind of pride in thinking they have the breeches on? In any little do mestic quarrel will they not ue liii in threi' rung nothing more It is throwing a source of disquietude into the domestic circle I not a dinner of herbs where love is better than a stalled ox and hatred therewith? Are tney not better let alone witn tbeir property than meddled with bv those gentlemen? It is a small business we are going into family matters It is invidious in princi ple nd must be pernicious in practice A woman may control a thousand doll ars of a property so tnat he cannot use it for two years nor even then without her consent It no argument to say that nothing be done under it or that it may be repealed if it i not founded on correct principles it ought net to pass our laws ought to be such as to command respect Have we not passed and repassed every thing tilf our law books have become a libel on 'the State? Do not men believe thetr rights are put in hazard when they send ns acre? They watch us with fear and trembling they are in constant apprehension of some new and wild project to set tbeir right anoaton an ocean shoreless and bottomless Gentlemen cannot pretend but that this is an ex A I'C! i 330 prose nriion matches for aal ly A BRuTHKIt RM eltow Hal' WOJ4 foQmp At the National fotel in CRT of the evening rhrMy March riUHJKOl pu i i il (Hark! hark! each pertaR hour) 1 uhan from La det tf laiy etnitio Cielo (Piano and duiej The orever calk from C4uir4rauJ adj frumUie Mountain' ART SECOND ibe a ghten Kinr Ar Irmu MuseS fn ypt arraure I tor rhe Piano by TlMlber 01 H'1" or Brash Irish ir Ii (uno and luiel ii''ltY1 Uenrpter frtioi Winn Thu ai Rose of Ifiiti lEelody Lonoc Mynheer Van Huru HR Bhop ja'! ytk s' 1 eaeli to be ban at the principal boM an4 ul the no tat ore uod iroui Uk msuntrers of pie committee HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES Tuesday March 2 1847 ATERXOOX SEsslO' THIRD REVDIXG BILLS Bill to provide against the recovery of damages done by beasts and cattle where therein not a law ful tense passed yeas 43 nays 13 Joiut resolution in relation to the amount ie the University fund from the countv of Lenawee passed yeas 40 nays 9 The appeal from the decision of the chair on the bill to incorporate the Raisin Institute was taken from the table On the question that the decision of the Chair do stand the vote wa yeas £4 nays 30 On the decision of the chair being reversed 'The Speaker declared the bill paed The Houe went into committee of the whole on the general order Mr Noble' in the chair who after wards reported back the following bill Bll to amend chap 20 of the revised Statutes relating to the return and sale of lands for taxes Lid on the table Bill to provide for the relief of the primary school land or Univers ty land the table btli amendatory to an act to organize an active Militia to a third reading Bill io amend an act to" establish a State road Laid on the table Bill to authorize the minor heirs of Martha Town to release their cli to a certain tract uf land Laid on the table Bill to attach certain townships in the county of Gratiot to the county of Clinton indefinitely post poned The House adjourned Prayer by the Rev Mr Davidson March 3rd Uujj.
