IN SENATE. Friday, Jan, 9. Mr. Craig filed the following pro test, viz; Tiie un-le-signed is ured, by a sens,-of lu y to Jds constituents, to protest against the pisse of an act anlhot'si.vjr the county commissioners of Svvi;z -'rland county to hold an extra sessiun, for the purpose ot trying a pretended contest of the election of a Cki k in said county, oi the petition ot Francis Perkins and Jatn?5 Ram;; and dos solemnly protest against the same, lor the following reasons, 1st. B:cAnse the petitioners are well known to the undersigned, as men possessing no visible interest in said oouaty of Switzerland, nor in the pretended contest, which they havs &et on footl and because he believes they have suffered themselves to ne used as tlie subservient instruments of others, who wish to keep in the dark. 2d. Because there was no legal 'ground ol contest set forth in the petition ot said individuals; nor was it at lodged that the election would have bs t-n varied hud the votes, which were impri!,.:rly given or refund, been all t'U'.o i-i any otii 'r candidate, than the li. Uv s !u .1 declared to be elected. Jo .t majority of the representatives, him the: cou ty ol Swiiz- rland, . were d cidt diy opposed to the passage of sunt act; atvJ tn their opposition conscientiously believe they represent the wishes and feelings ot their -consti u nts. 4ih N'.'t u panicle of evidence, other than the signatures of these oocure p t'.lio iers, has been exhibited to the senate, iu support of said act; while nearly one hundred and fit;y citiz ns of Switzerland county nave pointedly rtm .straied against the act aforesaid I.i sucn a situation of lirngs, and with such evidences of public sentiment against the bill; to pass an act, which necessarily causes the county of Switzerland to incur a reat deal of expense, appears to the undersigned entirely inconsistent with the duties, which a legislate body owes to the people, and at war with 'alt correct ideas of representation . be set in suecesstul opposition, not only to one hundred and titty, but likewise to the public and authorised rep esentatives ot a whole county, app ara to yh: undersigned very much like lay-tig the axe to the root of our repuuhcan institutions; and a repetition of such acts, if not checked in time, would go near ;o subvert every thing like free government. V. For these reasons the undersigned ubscribes this solemn protest. GEORGE CRAIG. ' Corydon.
