sHypocrisy Unmarked!
Il IS we'll known That tie great mass OF the
Northernaad Middle State opponents OF the Bank
rupt Inv have based their opposition an tue pre-
text thar its pre- .ions not nniform-that they
do 70. apply TO Corporations. This is emphat
ica, the pretexi OF the Loco Focos OF all this
zion They absolutely ashamed to appear as
the advocates of eternal bondage TO the insolvent
debtor, and Of lifelong depression to his family,
and they make The exclusion Of Corporatons their
prominent objection. The Sun has distinctly as
serted hotif Corporations had been subjected its
power there wc.!id have beer. serious effort to
repeal --jusl as thoughthe addition OF all the SIS
pended Baaea and their stockholders, dependents
and friends to the number Of It's active, deadly
mics would have strengthened the meas ore The
fact il, that the friends OF Bankrupt Law, as a
class, have been Indifferent to the Corporation
clanse--sone Of them for, against it; but all
agreed in putting The bill in the shape most likely
to insure its passage, and aiterward amending i,
so as TO render it perfcc, as possible. The sim
pie and sole why the Corporation clause
was not deserted in the original bill was this the
bill could be passed ,oithout AID could not ,ciA
such clause. Ihefrends of the measure did not
feel justified in sacrificing "a certain and vast good
in n hopeless crusade against Corporations.
Bu; a, engtia small number of the Members
whose votes carried the measure turned against us,
and gave us into the powcrof the enemy. The Bank
rupi Law appeared doomed, unless reinforcement
could be summoned its aid. The friends of the
measure were now a5solved from farther obiga-
tons, and free TO act with any who could be sum
moned TO us aid. They were ready to make a
frank and friendly overture TO the pretended advo-
=caes OF u strictly uniform Law, including Corpor-
ations. Accordingly, on Friday last, Mr.. Briggs
OF Mass moved that the Judiciary Committee be
Instructed 10 report an amendment Including Cor
poratt0@$. his proposition was instantly met by
motion from Mr.. Cave Johnson Loco. Foco) that
it de lie on Aetabic, which proposition was sus-
tanned by 33 Wings, mostly open enemies Of any
Bankrupt Law, and fJty-Atree Leco-Focos, includ-
ing Messrs. Borne, Clinton, Dich Davis, Doig,
Eg6eu. FERRIS, J. &. Floyd, C.A. F2oyd, Cor
don, Houck r. Mcclellan, Riggs, Sanford, and
Van Bmen, {l4) Of this State. 1t failed by eight
votes. After 4 farther struggle to kill it, q Mr..
Care Johnson ngaia moved to lay On the table Mr..
Briggss motion to subject all Corporations issuing
