New YORK, May D Gov. Woleott. Of
Connecticut, in bis message at The open

marks On subject OF very great Iinpor-

state but OF all the stale.
consider the law OF the last ses-
son, authorizing hunted partnerships,
as highly valuable, but TO extend and
secu. the advantages whichis Is adap,-
ed to produce, 1t Is necessary to pre-
vent partial assignments vi property
inteuded to defeat the claims Ut bona
flee creditors. This practlce has been
introduced by recent haoiL OF coDsld-
erIng the eDdorsers OF accommodation
notes as entitled to honorary prefereD-
ces over other creditors. can peceive
no formation In reason or III Justice
why such preferences should be allow
ed. All loans are voluntary, and can
be secured uy specific liens at the time
they are made, with which the parties
ought to remain satisfied: in any event
they never ought to secure partial and
unequal advantages above other and
frequently more rneritorious creditors.
also deem 1T proper and necessary,
that the wages of LABOR, ana the direct
relations between tenants and land
owners, mechanics and improvers of
real property, and between all persons
and the agents Il factors they employ,
should be protected against secret as
signments and attachments to defeat
their rights and l have no doubt that
this may be done, without introducing
new and dangerous principles, and with
advantage to every other interest
The practice here mentioned has be-
come SO universal, that it seems to be con-
sidsred as settled law. Aud yet in prin'
Ciple it cannot be indicated. Whether
legislative body can provide against 1t by
positive regulations Ut not, is somewhat
questionable. The only efectual mode
would be national system OF bankrupt
laws, by which all creditors would be
placed on a footing, and all fraudulent
Conveyances be liable TO be rendered null
and void. The effect of a bankrupt law
would be to check extravagan! adventures,
to prevent men from engsg & III bold and
daring enterprises, and from running those
risks which so frequently involve them
and their friends IN embarrsssme e., dis
tress, and ruin. The circumstances OF no
country more urgently require general
system OF bankrupt laws than this. and
yet there is bu, little probability that one
will be- adopted, at least for many years TO
come. Nv. Y. DAILY ddO.
