Our Legislature has been in session some ak
weeks, and enacted several laws, but none of any
great importance, save the repeal of that odious
statute. commonly called and known as the Ap-
praisement Law.
am induced to believe this State will repudiate
the payment of the :" real estate bonds" and pro-
bably the State bonds also; in some counties the
she members or candidates for the Assembly that
run on that question have been elected by a con-
siderable majority.
The Real Estate Bank has refused to allow. the
committee appointed by the General Assembly to
examine into the affairs and situation OF the same;
they defy the authority that gave it existence. AT
the last session of our Legislature the an was
passed placing The he bank il. in dss put
bank refused to obey it. Such proceedings,
government am fully satisfied the. people will
zens of the State will refuse to pay their debts TO
the Bank; and il they are sustained in that, the
Bank never will be able to pay its bonds; and the
people are not, at this time, a.gong to stand tax
TO pay the interest on the Real Estate Bank Bonds,
to say nothing of the principal, &c. So you see
the dilemma we are placed in. ! should be very
sorry TO see this State repudiae; but see no way
to prevent it, unless something can be done, and that
quickly. Will the Congressdo anything for the in
solvent States, &c. 1t would ruin this State at this
time to pay the interest on her debt, with the harce
population that we have now
