delegation Of this power in an extra constitution
al manner.
Mr. Powers Of Woodstock opposed the amend
mout, and said that the House should not dele
/ gate this power and no one wished it to be DONE
that the injury to the interests of the Passump-
sic road and to Orleans county, with few ex.
cepuons, Is imaginary, and the friends of the
Passumpsic have no fears in regard to this extern
ton, in rcality,-thit the appointments of com
mittees by county courts to locate roads were
seldom satisfactory, and persons had been Sc
lccted, nne-tenths of whom were utterly inca
pable to perform these duties. He was not pre-
pared to say that such would be the case in re-
gard to this appointment, but he knew of no
committee who could perform this duty,-that it
did not appear before the committee that the
Passumpsc desired this connection, from any
knowledge in the possession Of the House, and
if they do, they should make the connection
themseyes,-that the good faith on the part Of
the Legislature, commended for, and so much in
oiot1A Nbf AoNdito ltic uaouilpolNs hHoulu bt
exercised also towards the Atlantic, and should
be preserved inviolate towards the latter.
The discussion having been protracted to

son was laid on the table, to be made the special
order for tomorrow at 10 o'clock, A. NJ, and the
House adjourned.
