To incoroora-e the Kreiimnl Green Spring and Republic Plank Road Company. To authorize tlm commissioner of certain counties to subscribe to the caiiibil stock of certain railroad companies therein named. i pon the third reading of the above hill, Mr. Hutchius said that he did not arise to make a npecitic opposition to this bill more than others of the sumo churucier, too many ot which urn before the nonse. iiiero were a larye number ot bill ot this haracter before the House, not one of which, be would enluro to say, could pass the House alone, and he rosa for the purpose of entering hi protest ngainst this dishonest and contemptible svsteui of public ubindfr. which is destined iu its ellect to pmdtiee incalculable injury and distress to ihe people. There ore acts of incorporation providing for the creation of more than three millions of debt, an umouut of indebtedness which, created in this hasty manner, may in their con sequences bo destructive of public ami private pros peuiv. Mr. Hutchius said that if tho proposhion were mnde to subscribe, on llio part of the State, three milliom of dollars, to carry on the plauk roads and railroads of uie oiaie, every one would stand up to resist it; but we take this matter in homeopathic doses, and under the influence of our feelings of interest forget the enormity of the tolul result. Air. Houston said lhat ho had, in one or two iustnn es, voted under a fuisfippielmiisioii. He hud. while unacquainted with their provisions, voted lo give the niiytniti iuu iiiil ut mx. me nuuoriiy. neuiu uot ne-lieve iu the principle. Mr. 8 peb mi u uid that he had htstloubte in regard to the course we had been pursuing, and it-It it his duty to state his opinion to the House. Mr. I'rigu said that he had all along had his doubts of the constitutionality nf ilie pi-iueiplcs involved in the bill; hi muiu objection, however, to it, had been on the score of etpetiiuncy. He believed that the ro-suit would, in nil cases, be unfortunate. He had uot looked upon it as probable that any stand would be made against the passnge of law ui which so many were inti-rent'-il, and Im hud made no opposition to them iu fact bud voted for some of tle-m., ou the L'round of giving the people, the people iu general, what ihev itfk lor. However, if a stand could be not made ayaiiist them now, lie would aid to shut the door, provided enough could be found to lilru the key. Mr. Waite suid he would give his assistance. Mr. Pngh. And go against all of them T Mr. Waite. Yes, against all. Mr. Roedter expressed his opinion against the principle of allowing, in these cases, ihe majority to tax (he minority for the purpose of local improvements. Mr. Long saitl thai he had early taken grouud upon this subject, and he found other gentlemen, when they had got their own bills through, coming up to his as 4ut.-UiCk. Mr. Myers said thai he came le Te as the rcpreseuta live, aud not as the master of his constituents. They wanted at the hands of the Legislature certain servi ces lo be performed. It was not for ibis body to die line ui uie people wnal tliey siiuil nave, or to inform them ns hi what limy want. He believed that it was I he right of Ilie majority to govern, whether lhat government shall consist iu a-sumijii; the right to make muds, or do any other act calculated to beuetil tho public. Air. Myers denied that he had not lit nil cases gono for such principles as were iucontorated in his own bills, and declared hi intention stdt to do so. Mr. Franks said that he had ull the time cone against the bills iu question, and intended still to do so. Mr. Sprag up spoke iu Invor of (he democracy of the doctrine of allowing the majority to tax the minority. tlJiving so recently been tui ned out ot the Democratic puny, he held .lhat he ought still to have the tret I it uf remembering what the principles of the parly were. The debate was continued by Mr. Long, Frauks, Myers and oilier. Mr. Worlev said that he did not foresee in the consequence of the acts of incortoratiou now before the House, nny of those misfortunes which the gentleman from Tnimbtili had depicted. These roads are to be conslnicled by the people of their several vicinities, I their own capital, and lor thru own beuetil; and it i their credit that is involved in the couscuueiices. He did not understand how I'eulleineu should refuse to the people the exercise of rights so simple aud so ueueiuiai. Mr. Hawkins suid that he had no bill of the kind in uiestiou now before the LeL'inluture. His couutv. however, had such a charter, and they were and would be benefited. He believed that the people know what they want when ihey ask lor a thing ; and when the voice of iho majority asks for a thing of a local character, aud not contrary to the Constitution, it ought to be granted. We gain every thing lhat is desirable by taxation. It is by laxniinu that our public institutions have been constructed, and every thing valuable lias it-en acquired. Mr. Hawkins said that be wns a linn believer iu the light of the majority to govern, and he held that to refuse to ihem dm right lo goveiu, and lo confer that telit iiimu ihe inuioiity is anti-Democratic, anti-m publicnti, nud contrary lo Ihe intent nnd spirit of the Constitution- Mr. Hawkins said lhat ho was in favor of all im provements, of every kind they added to the wealth I Ihe State, opened new laud lor setilemeut, aud pro-idi'd for the tulure protqiei ily of general ions yet to route. Mr. Hawkins continued hi remarks at length. Mr. Hutchius saitl that when tin se bills Iirst made their appcurauce in (he House, he h;ul uot got his cour age screwed up to the place ol making a strong opposition. He had however, now, ou ctiiisideratioii of the subject, determined lo go against the whole batch. He was opposed to tin manner ol giviiik' o the major ity the power tn tax the minority, except for the legitimate and iiecessurv objects of government. .Mr. 1 1 n tt'li nit. read the provision ol the bill before be House, and showed ils ellect upon the comities nf- lected h it. Mr. Ilolconib moved that the bill be referred to a si dec I committee of throe, for the purpose of extending its provisions lo the county of Alliens, which was agreed to, and Messrs. Holcomh, Clark and Will were appointed said coinmiltee. And tlm House look a recess. Moppfiii; (lie Siiplic, The Opimsitimi seem to be sadly disturbed because they have tailed to carry out their factious and revolutionary scheme for slopping the supplies. In spile of ihe etldrt of the Bitler-ciidcrs to einliMras Pro-ident 'avlorby withhnldini: the money nec'sarv to be ex pended in the collection of the n n'tiim, the imod sense and pal riot ism of the majority have triumphed ; and ilie country is stved indu lurmer contusion and disgrace iu tho revenue th pertinent.

To incoroora-e the Kreiimnl Green Spring and Republic Plank Road Company. To authorize tlm commissioner of certain counties to subscribe to the caiiibil stock of certain railroad companies therein named. i pon the third reading of the above hill, Mr. Hutchius said that he did not arise to make a npecitic opposition to this bill more than others of the sumo churucier, too many ot which urn before the nonse. iiiero were a larye number ot bill ot this haracter before the House, not one of which, be would enluro to say, could pass the House alone, and he rosa for the purpose of entering hi protest ngainst this dishonest and contemptible svsteui of public ubindfr. which is destined iu its ellect to pmdtiee incalculable injury and distress to ihe people. There ore acts of incorporation providing for the creation of more than three millions of debt, an umouut of indebtedness which, created in this hasty manner, may in their con sequences bo destructive of public ami private pros peuiv. Mr. Hutchius said that if tho proposhion were mnde to subscribe, on llio part of the State, three milliom of dollars, to carry on the plauk roads and railroads of uie oiaie, every one would stand up to resist it; but we take this matter in homeopathic doses, and under the influence of our feelings of interest forget the enormity of the tolul result. Air. Houston said lhat ho had, in one or two iustnn es, voted under a fuisfippielmiisioii. He hud. while unacquainted with their provisions, voted lo give the niiytniti iuu iiiil ut mx. me nuuoriiy. neuiu uot ne-lieve iu the principle. Mr. 8 peb mi u uid that he had htstloubte in regard to the course we had been pursuing, and it-It it his duty to state his opinion to the House. Mr. I'rigu said that he had all along had his doubts of the constitutionality nf ilie pi-iueiplcs involved in the bill; hi muiu objection, however, to it, had been on the score of etpetiiuncy. He believed that the ro-suit would, in nil cases, be unfortunate. He had uot looked upon it as probable that any stand would be made against the passnge of law ui which so many were inti-rent'-il, and Im hud made no opposition to them iu fact bud voted for some of tle-m., ou the L'round of giving the people, the people iu general, what ihev itfk lor. However, if a stand could be not made ayaiiist them now, lie would aid to shut the door, provided enough could be found to lilru the key. Mr. Waite suid he would give his assistance. Mr. Pngh. And go against all of them T Mr. Waite. Yes, against all. Mr. Roedter expressed his opinion against the principle of allowing, in these cases, ihe majority to tax (he minority for the purpose of local improvements. Mr. Long saitl thai he had early taken grouud upon this subject, and he found other gentlemen, when they had got their own bills through, coming up to his as 4ut.-UiCk. Mr. Myers said thai he came le Te as the rcpreseuta live, aud not as the master of his constituents. They wanted at the hands of the Legislature certain servi ces lo be performed. It was not for ibis body to die line ui uie people wnal tliey siiuil nave, or to inform them ns hi what limy want. He believed that it was I he right of Ilie majority to govern, whether lhat government shall consist iu a-sumijii; the right to make muds, or do any other act calculated to beuetil tho public. Air. Myers denied that he had not lit nil cases gono for such principles as were iucontorated in his own bills, and declared hi intention stdt to do so. Mr. Franks said that he had ull the time cone against the bills iu question, and intended still to do so. Mr. Sprag up spoke iu Invor of (he democracy of the doctrine of allowing the majority to tax the minority. tlJiving so recently been tui ned out ot the Democratic puny, he held .lhat he ought still to have the tret I it uf remembering what the principles of the parly were. The debate was continued by Mr. Long, Frauks, Myers and oilier. Mr. Worlev said that he did not foresee in the consequence of the acts of incortoratiou now before the House, nny of those misfortunes which the gentleman from Tnimbtili had depicted. These roads are to be conslnicled by the people of their several vicinities, I their own capital, and lor thru own beuetil; and it i their credit that is involved in the couscuueiices. He did not understand how I'eulleineu should refuse to the people the exercise of rights so simple aud so ueueiuiai. Mr. Hawkins suid that he had no bill of the kind in uiestiou now before the LeL'inluture. His couutv. however, had such a charter, and they were and would be benefited. He believed that the people know what they want when ihey ask lor a thing ; and when the voice of iho majority asks for a thing of a local character, aud not contrary to the Constitution, it ought to be granted. We gain every thing lhat is desirable by taxation. It is by laxniinu that our public institutions have been constructed, and every thing valuable lias it-en acquired. Mr. Hawkins said that be wns a linn believer iu the light of the majority to govern, and he held that to refuse to ihem dm right lo goveiu, and lo confer that telit iiimu ihe inuioiity is anti-Democratic, anti-m publicnti, nud contrary lo Ihe intent nnd spirit of the Constitution- Mr. Hawkins said lhat ho was in favor of all im provements, of every kind they added to the wealth I Ihe State, opened new laud lor setilemeut, aud pro-idi'd for the tulure protqiei ily of general ions yet to route. Mr. Hawkins continued hi remarks at length. Mr. Hutchius saitl that when tin se bills Iirst made their appcurauce in (he House, he h;ul uot got his cour age screwed up to the place ol making a strong opposition. He had however, now, ou ctiiisideratioii of the subject, determined lo go against the whole batch. He was opposed to tin manner ol giviiik' o the major ity the power tn tax the minority, except for the legitimate and iiecessurv objects of government. .Mr. 1 1 n tt'li nit. read the provision ol the bill before be House, and showed ils ellect upon the comities nf- lected h it. Mr. Ilolconib moved that the bill be referred to a si dec I committee of throe, for the purpose of extending its provisions lo the county of Alliens, which was agreed to, and Messrs. Holcomh, Clark and Will were appointed said coinmiltee. And tlm House look a recess. Moppfiii; (lie Siiplic, The Opimsitimi seem to be sadly disturbed because they have tailed to carry out their factious and revolutionary scheme for slopping the supplies. In spile of ihe etldrt of the Bitler-ciidcrs to einliMras Pro-ident 'avlorby withhnldini: the money nec'sarv to be ex pended in the collection of the n n'tiim, the imod sense and pal riot ism of the majority have triumphed ; and ilie country is stved indu lurmer contusion and disgrace iu tho revenue th pertinent.
