I did intend to have offered otic other amendment, but was induced to give it up by the representations of my friend, gen. Wilson of Gibson county the bill authorised a stock ot g 1 00,000, and consequently that sum might possibly come into the hands of the commissiuiiei s, and -would be at the control of two of them only The security required by the bill 13 only g 10.000, from each commissioner, and consequently they might have S7(y 000 at their control, uncovered b bond. This I intended to hav e obv latcd, by tequiring bond foi g50 000, instead of g 10 OuO. The commissioners might be Honorable men, bat acc dnis sometimes hap pen ov. n to such men I am aware that an effort has been made to tepresent this bill a state concern, to clear up this subject, I refer all candid men to the l ith se i on. No ingenuity of argument, or cl c .ns. ruction, can induce any -nan who will take the trouble to understand the hi I to believe such a thing.

And to tui private co' potation it was proposed to (11VE, not to LEND, your three per cent, fund l' is unfortunate for men intrusted with p b business, to permit private id will to overcome, and coimtctan their judg ment.

I was opposed to repealing all restrictive laws regulating the licencing ot taverns and glog shops, the cffci t ot which would be, that all who would pay theii licence, however bad the character, sjioud sell. I was opposed to au increase of fees to officers, upon the ground that fees ate as high now asjhcy were eight or nine yeais since, although the wages ol the hiieling have been i educed mote than one hall, and otic dollar now, is wotth as much to the holder, as two wet e then. I was in lavour of a moderate reduction of fees I was opposed to the improper drafts that have btcn made upon our treasury, and hazard nothing vvlo n I say, I am the friend and delcoder of tl.c sttrmr box I was in faour ol your petrion respecting the Ivnox county seminai y, and it was not without the gn att st exertions, I could ffcel the pas.ige ol the bid in uccoid ance with you wislu s I am unilotmlv opposed to relief to dc lauUing officers, collectors, &c upon the ground that otiicei s should be made to do
