W lienover llie people mav make application Wan net of incorporation, let the Legislature of that day uud time, in view of fbo objects of tho corpora tion, and iu view of ull the circumstances, say whether icy will grant it or hot, nml if ihuy incorporate, then to what extent. The Legislature may prescribe ditler-eul rules for different corporation, in one case they may prescribe that a contractor shall suffer any loss noceuing Iroin his own want ot caution and a lull knowledge, of his business. They may enacl that the losses of a corporation shall, in a tiiveu case, fall upon ihe president or idher otlieer, who may have made a hud, n dishonest or Iralliluleut contract. Mr. SA'-VYKlt. I would ask the gentleman a ques tion. He is unwilling to incorporate this principle in tho constitution because bo desires tho people to ex-pn s themselves upon the principle from time tn lime. It we should nol bcIUu ihi matter in relation to tin special project before us, why do it in nny other casef Why mil leave every thing to tho Legislature? Carry the principle out, I snv. Mr. MASON. The question of my honorable friend had not been wed considered, before ho propounded it, or lie would uol have asked it. Tho question is, why confer upon the Legislature any power at all, or why undertake to lake any from them f w hy have a written constitution at nil? Ho pre-suppose thnt this inesliou of individual liability, as applied to n corpora tion, ii more important ilnn all ihe principles of . gelation upon which (he legislative power can act. Look at tho unlimited and illimitable mass of legislative power that you confer upon ihat department ul he government by the tirst section in tlmt report, Why not put ii all in the constitution? Why not insert a provision, thut no man shnll lend money in Ohio to another, except bu do it upon good and sutlieieut mortgage upon his real estate ? (io on and fix the extent ol tho land or the value of tho iriorpjage interest f Why not put that in your constitution iu onler lo save money lenders in order to savo the rights of creditors. The ceo lie man from Amduie will see that ho usked the question prematurely. I could run on un it! I had exhausted my hlteeii minutes in asking questions, why you Hhould not have this thing or that thing upon your statute books, but these nro abutidaiiily ueceshury to answer all such inquiries us have been made. .Mr. Chairman, this creat question cannot be put to rest by any such inquiries as ilu-se. It is a proposi tion to be sustained, or not, bv iirirumcnt not nv a party rally.

'Hie ipiesliou whether you will be halve lor more until thai, is simpiy a question at more or Itn, uud that measures tho enormous mug- nilude of the qnusiiou now hi debate. You niny give it ir-nt factitious import unco, by making it a party inesliou, and bv talkuitr about "the masses, hut you :anuot increase it intrinsic importance thereby. An- nlvze the idea, and you have n nucstioit ul areoler a- less securilv " more or h'Hs n mortgage, or per- onnl security fur the payment of tbo debt, where a nrjionition or an inilivuhial coii'nicla. lu myopia ion. it etui be salely conhded lo the Oeuenil Assembly in oilier words, to the action of tbo p- opb from time to time, to regulate this whole question. I would rutin r conhde it there, because the Legislature can mould itself to suit tbeexieiicies, wants mid condition il (lie people incorporated. It would be safer lo trust the Geueinl Assembly lo apply Ibis principle, from time to time, to ihe condition of tho ticihhorluH d and portion ol the Stale where thceorporatioiiBan desired 1 to insert a pmvision lo qualify and make it fall upon a portion of the corporation, or upon n part or por 1 tuui ol the ieetintii'B, or cnilit.

It is advocated bv mv friend froui Hamilton Mr. Hrt mh.in upon ibe ground, ihnt he was afraid, that his political friends might forgot their principles ami get ho mixed up with ' W higixery " that they could not lell where lb-y really belonged that they mi jhl embrace an iiiili-demiHralir faith.

W lienover llie people mav make application Wan net of incorporation, let the Legislature of that day uud time, in view of fbo objects of tho corpora tion, and iu view of ull the circumstances, say whether icy will grant it or hot, nml if ihuy incorporate, then to what extent. The Legislature may prescribe ditler-eul rules for different corporation, in one case they may prescribe that a contractor shall suffer any loss noceuing Iroin his own want ot caution and a lull knowledge, of his business. They may enacl that the losses of a corporation shall, in a tiiveu case, fall upon ihe president or idher otlieer, who may have made a hud, n dishonest or Iralliluleut contract. Mr. SA'-VYKlt. I would ask the gentleman a ques tion. He is unwilling to incorporate this principle in tho constitution because bo desires tho people to ex-pn s themselves upon the principle from time tn lime. It we should nol bcIUu ihi matter in relation to tin special project before us, why do it in nny other casef Why mil leave every thing to tho Legislature? Carry the principle out, I snv. Mr. MASON. The question of my honorable friend had not been wed considered, before ho propounded it, or lie would uol have asked it. Tho question is, why confer upon the Legislature any power at all, or why undertake to lake any from them f w hy have a written constitution at nil? Ho pre-suppose thnt this inesliou of individual liability, as applied to n corpora tion, ii more important ilnn all ihe principles of . gelation upon which (he legislative power can act. Look at tho unlimited and illimitable mass of legislative power that you confer upon ihat department ul he government by the tirst section in tlmt report, Why not put ii all in the constitution? Why not insert a provision, thut no man shnll lend money in Ohio to another, except bu do it upon good and sutlieieut mortgage upon his real estate ? (io on and fix the extent ol tho land or the value of tho iriorpjage interest f Why not put that in your constitution iu onler lo save money lenders in order to savo the rights of creditors. The ceo lie man from Amduie will see that ho usked the question prematurely. I could run on un it! I had exhausted my hlteeii minutes in asking questions, why you Hhould not have this thing or that thing upon your statute books, but these nro abutidaiiily ueceshury to answer all such inquiries us have been made. .Mr. Chairman, this creat question cannot be put to rest by any such inquiries as ilu-se. It is a proposi tion to be sustained, or not, bv iirirumcnt not nv a party rally.

'Hie ipiesliou whether you will be halve lor more until thai, is simpiy a question at more or Itn, uud that measures tho enormous mug- nilude of the qnusiiou now hi debate. You niny give it ir-nt factitious import unco, by making it a party inesliou, and bv talkuitr about "the masses, hut you :anuot increase it intrinsic importance thereby. An- nlvze the idea, and you have n nucstioit ul areoler a- less securilv " more or h'Hs n mortgage, or per- onnl security fur the payment of tbo debt, where a nrjionition or an inilivuhial coii'nicla. lu myopia ion. it etui be salely conhded lo the Oeuenil Assembly in oilier words, to the action of tbo p- opb from time to time, to regulate this whole question. I would rutin r conhde it there, because the Legislature can mould itself to suit tbeexieiicies, wants mid condition il (lie people incorporated. It would be safer lo trust the Geueinl Assembly lo apply Ibis principle, from time to time, to ihe condition of tho ticihhorluH d and portion ol the Stale where thceorporatioiiBan desired 1 to insert a pmvision lo qualify and make it fall upon a portion of the corporation, or upon n part or por 1 tuui ol the ieetintii'B, or cnilit.

It is advocated bv mv friend froui Hamilton Mr. Hrt mh.in upon ibe ground, ihnt he was afraid, that his political friends might forgot their principles ami get ho mixed up with ' W higixery " that they could not lell where lb-y really belonged that they mi jhl embrace an iiiili-demiHralir faith.
