SENATE.-Rssoiulions, from the House, for
the collection of the school fund.- &c, amended on
motion Of M. Crawford, and passed
Essen County Senator
resolution, on this subject, taken up, when
Mr.. French addressed the Senate in opposition to
the resolution, taking the position that the facts,
as reported in the case, do not warrant its adop-
ton:
Mr.. F. went into review of the remarks OF Mr..
Bartlett, delivered in the Senate yesterday, and a
careful examination of the proceedings IN the alledg-
ed organization of Victory, contendng that from
n.ho IN he hava M
legal organization ofthe town. All of the pro-
ceedngs, Mr.. F. thought from the commence.
ment to the close, were characterized by tissue
Of bunders and illegales from the morning of
the meeting to the close OF the affair. The meet
ing had been warned at different place from the
one in which il was held; and the record itself
bore upon its face, evidence of gross legality of
proceeding, if not Of false entry and fraudulent in
tent.
The debate was further continued by Mr.. Dill
llngham in favor of the resolution Mr.. d. read
the Certificate of the Town Clerk of Victory, pur-
porting to give true record of the proceedings;
Mr.. D. contending that the record true one,
and bore pretty conclusive evidence of the fact
that Victory duly organized town. The
vote not to organize, Mr.. d. said, counteract.
ed in its legal influence, by the subsequent vote
to organize. For illustration of this position, Sem
tors were referred to ancient precedent, the
servant who declined his masters will, but, relent
ing, finally and faithfully performed his duty.
