HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, POUGHKEEPSIE.
Wednesday, March 19, 1788.
The House met pursuant to adjournment. The Bill for giving relief in cases of Insolvency, was read a third time.
Before the final question was taken on the Bill, on motion of Mr. Harrison a clause was added, making a gratuity of five per cent. to all Insolvent Debtors, who shall pay fourteen shillings in the pound; with a proviso, that the sum allowed them shall not exceed two hundred pounds.
The Bill, as amended, then passed the House, and was sent to the Senate for concurrence.
A message was received from the Senate, that they had passed the Tax Bill, without amendment.
Mr. Graham, from the Committee to whom was referred the petition of B. Martlings, praying to be allowed a pension, in consequence of being disabled in the service of the United States, reported, that the prayer thereof ought to be granted.
The said report was referred to a Committee of the whole House.
The Bill for the relief of the Creditors of William Vanderlocht was read a third time.
A motion was made by Mr. Jones, to recommit the Bill. This was negatived.
On the question for passing the Bill, a division was called.

Thursday, March 20.
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
On motion of Mr. Jones, a resolution was entered into, authorising himself and Mr. Speaker, who are the Commissioners for revising the laws, to prefix to the first volume thereof, the Constitution of the State, and that only the titles and the dates of private Bills should be inserted in the same; and further, that they are to omit all laws which will expire within two years.
A message was received from the Senate, that they had passed the Bill for the naturalization of the persons therein named, with an amendment, having added the names of sundry persons thereto.
The said amendment being taken into consideration, was agreed to by the House.
Another message was received from the Senate, that they had agreed to the amendments of the House to the Insolvent Bill; and that they had passed the Bill relative to the forfeited estates, with an amendment, which was to strike out the clause, prohibiting the Surveyor General from making any sales before the next meeting of the Legislature. This amendment was agreed to.
The Attorney General, to whom was referred the petition of Richard Peters, of Philadelphia, informed the House, that he had unexpectedly obtained information, which enabled him to report on the said petition, and it was his opinion that the prayer thereof ought to be granted.
He then offered the form of a clause to the House for that purpose, which being agreed to, he was directed to take the same to the Senate, in order to have it annexed to a Bill then before them for the purpose therein mentioned.
A message was received from the Senate, that they had passed the Supply Bill, with two amendments; one for paying to Samuel Loudon 350l. the other for raising the wages of the Sergeant at arms from 12s. to 16s. These amendments were agreed to.
Adjourned to 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Eodem Die, P. M.
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
A message was received from the Senate, that they had agreed to the resolution of the House respecting the revising of the laws.
Another message was received from the Senate, that they had passed the Bill relative to the Land-office, notwithstanding the objections of the Council of Revision.
The House proceeded immediately to the consideration of the same.
The following are the objections of the Council:—
In COUNCIL of REVISION, March 20, 1788.
P R E S E N T,
His Excellency Governor Clinton, The Hon. Mr. Chief Justice Morris, The Hon. Mr. Justice Yates.
THE Council object against the Bill entitled, "An Act to extend the powers of the Commissioners of the Land-office to the cases therein mentioned, and for other purposes," becoming a Law of this State, for that the clause which directs the sale of
the land, the great and only palladium and security, for the rights and property of the people. With the public good; inasmuch as the consideration resulting from such sale cannot benefit the State so much, as the loss thereof may be detrimental, in depriving the public of an island, whose advantageous situation the Bill itself declares necessary for fortifications and works of defence; for which, altho' it may not be immediately necessary, yet the future safety and convenience of the State suggest the propriety of retaining it. Nor can the providing clause, by giving a discretionary power to the Commissioners of directing the reservation of such parts thereof for fortifications as they shall deem proper, remove the objection, as the probable views of Government may be more extensive than works of defence only; but should that not be the case, the buildings and improvements which will probably be made thereon, when sold in small lots, will defeat the object intended to be provided for.
G E O. C L I N T O N.
Which being read, Mr. Speaker put the question, "Whether the said Bill, notwithstanding the objections of the Council of Revision, should be a law of this State?" And it passed in the affirmative unanimously.
Adjourned till to-morrow morning nine o'clock.
Friday, March 21.
A message was received from the Senate, that they had passed the Bill for enabling the Commissioners of Forfeitures for the Western District, together with Goldsborough Banyar, and the heirs of Peter Remsen, deceased, to convey the lands therein mentioned to the present possessors, with an amendment; which was agreed to by the House.
Another message was received from the Senate, that they had passed the Bill for the settlement of public accounts, and for other purposes therein mentioned, with sundry amendments; which being taken into consideration, were agreed to.
Adjourned till to-morrow morning, nine o'clock.
Saturday, March 22.
A message was received from the Senate, with a resolution for concurrence, that the next meeting of the Legislature, should be at the city of Albany. The question was then taken for concurring, without debate.
Affirmative. Messrs. Cornwall, Winant, Wyckoff, Sylvester, Tearse, Baker, De Witt, Strang, Van Orden, Frey, Arent, Tillotson, Powers, Webster, Savage, Schoonmaker, Cantine, Bruyn, Bloom, Low, Wisner, Sickles, Younglove, Brooks, John Livingston, Lewis, Harrison, Winn, Veeder. 29
Negative. Messrs. Jones, Niven, J. Smith, Doughty, Patterson, P. Cantine, Benfon, Hedges, Osborn, Graham, Verplanck, Clinton, Tompkins, Havens, N. Smith, Drake, Clarke. 17
A message was received from the Council of Revision, that they had no objections to the Bill for naturalizing the persons therein named;
To the Bill relative to forfeited estates;
To the Tax Bill;
To the Bill for giving relief in cases of Insolvency; and
The Bill to prevent breaking and defacing mile stones, and other public monuments.
A message was received from the Senate, that they had passed the Bill for the relief of the creditors of William Vanderlocht, and for other persons therein mentioned, notwithstanding the objections of the Council of Revision.
The said objections being read, were in the words following:—
In COUNCIL of REVISION, March 22, 1788.
P R E S E N T,
His Excellency Governor Clinton, The Hon. Mr. Chief Justice Morris, The Hon. Mr. Justice Yates.
THE Council object against the Bill, entitled, "An Act for the relief of the Creditors of William Vanderlocht, and for other purposes therein mentioned," becoming a Law of this State, as against the spirit of the Constitution.
For that, by the last clause, the persons therein named, confined upon execution, in the several gaols therein mentioned, altho' their several debts should exceed the sum of Ten Pounds, are to be discharged from custody, and the plaintiffs have no other remedy for the recovery of their demands, but against their property, if any they have, or can be found. However proper it may be to extend the benefit of this act generally, to objects confined for small sums, and where the future industry of such persons affords a reasonable prospect to the creditors of being paid thereafter, yet this will by no means apply to larger debts; besides, by the known existing laws of this State, such plaintiffs have, by a Judicial process, established their demands, and they remain of record; and such an interference of the Legislature, by a partial law, in favor of individuals, renders property insecure, and subverts the fundamental
law of the land, the great, and only palladium and security, for the rights and property of the people.
G E O. C L I N T O N.
The Speaker then put the question "Whether the said Bill should be passed, notwithstanding the objections of the Council?"
It was carried in the affirmative.
A message was received from the Council of Revision, that they had no objection to the Supply Bill; and
The Bill for enabling the Commissioners of Forfeitures for the Western District, together with Goldsborough Banyar, and the heirs of Peter Remsen, deceased, to convey the lands therein mentioned to the present possessors.
Another message from the Council of Revision was received, with some objections to the Bill for the settlement of public accounts.
The House took the same into consideration, and passed the Bill notwithstanding.
The Bill and objections were then sent to the Senate.
A message was received from the Senate, returning the last mentioned Bill and objections, informing, that they had agreed to the resolution of the House, for passing the same.
On motion, the House entered into a resolution, that if the Senate would concur, the Legislature would immediately adjourn, to the first Tuesday in January next.
The resolution was sent to the Senate for concurrence.
A message was sent to the Governor, by Mr. Winant, to know if his Excellency had any farther business to lay before the Legislature? Mr. Winant returned, and informed the House, that his Excellency had none.
A message was received from the Senate by Gen. Schuyler, agreeing to the resolution of the House for an immediate adjournment.
Then the House adjourned accordingly.
Prospects on the Rubicon:
OR, An Investigation into the Causes and Consequences of the Politics, to be agitated at the Meeting of Parliament.
L O N D O N:
Printed for J. DEBRETT, Piccadilly, 1787.
[Said to be written by the Author of Common Sense.]
[Continued from Yesterday's Paper.]
W E A L T H.
THIS is an important investigation, it ought therefore to be heard with patience, and judged of without prejudice.
Nothing is more common than for people to mistake one thing for another. Do not those who are crying up the wealth of the nation, mistake a paper currency for riches? To ascertain this point may be one means of preventing that ruin, which cannot fail to follow by persisting in the mistake.
The highest estimation that is made of the quantity of gold and silver in Britain at this present day is twenty millions: and those who are most conversant with money transactions, believe it to be considerably below that sum. Yet this is no more money that what the nation possessed twenty years ago, and therefore, whatever her trade may be, it has produced to her no profit. Certainly no man can be so unwise as to suppose that encreasing the bank notes, which is done with as little trouble as printing of news-papers, is national wealth.
The quantity of money in the nation was very well ascertained in the years 1773, 74 and 76, by calling in the light gold coin.
There were upwards of fifteen millions and a half of gold coin then called in, which with upwards of two millions of heavy guineas that remained out, and the silver coin, made above twenty millions, which is more than there is at this day.
There is an amazing increase in the circulation of bank paper, which is no more national wealth than news-papers are; because an increase of promissory notes, the capital remaining unincreased, or not increasing in the same proportion, is no increase of wealth. It serves to raise false ideas, which the judicious soon discover, and the ignorant experience to their cost.
Out of twenty millions sterling, the present quantity of real money in the nation, it would be too great an allowance to say that one fourth of that sum, which is five millions, was in London. But even admitting this to be the case, it would require no very conjuring powers to ascertain pretty nearly what proportion of that sum of five millions could be in the bank. It would be ridiculous to suppose it could be less than half a million, and extravagant to suppose it could be two millions.
It likewise requires no very extraordinary discernment to ascertain how immense the quantity of bank notes, compared to its capital in the bank, must be, when it is considered, that the national taxes are paid in bank notes, that all great transactions are done in bank notes, and that were a loan for twenty millions to be opened at the meeting of parliament, it would most probably be subscribed in a few days: Yet all
men must know the loan could not be paid in money, because it is at least four times greater than all the money in London, including the bankers and the bank amount too. In short, every thing shows that the rage that over-run America, for paper money, or paper currency, has reached to England under another name. There it was called Continental Money, and here it is called Bank Notes. But it signifies not not what name it bears, if the capital is not equal to the redemption.
There is likewise another circumstance that cannot fail to strike with some force when it is mentioned, because every man that has any thing to do with money transactions, will feel the truth of it, though he may not before have reflected upon it. It is the embarrassed condition into which the gold coin is thrown, by the necessity of weighing it, and by refusing guineas that are even standing weight, and there appear to be but few heavy ones. Whether this is intended to force the paper currency into circulation, is not here attempted to be asserted, but it certainly has that effect to a very great degree; because people, rather than submit to the trouble and hazard of weighing, will take paper in preference to money. This was once the case in America.
The natural effect of encreasing and continuing to encrease paper currencies, is that of banishing the real money. The shadow takes place of the substance, till the country is left with only shadows in its hands.
A trade that does not encrease the quantity of real money in a country, cannot be styled a profitable trade; yet this is certainly the case with England; and as to credit, of which so much has been said, it may be founded on ignorance or a false belief, as well as on real ability.
In Amsterdam, the money deposited in the bank is never taken out again. The depositors, when they have debts to pay, transfer their right to the persons to whom they are indebted, and those again proceed by the same practice, and the transfer of the right goes for payment; now could all the money deposited in the bank of Amsterdam, be privately removed away, and the matter be kept a secret, the ignorance, or the belief that the money was still there, would give the same credit as if it had not been removed. In short, credit is often no more than an opinion, and the difference between credit and money is, that money requires no opinion to support it.
