Fand void, unless enforced, With simple
interest, for the benefit of educational or
benevolent Institutions Determinations
between classes of lenders, tempt to fraud
and almost uniformly fail of beneficial
results. In this connection, your atten-
Ntion may also be usofully given to the
various devices by which banking insti-
tutions seek to evade statuary limitations
of interest, and to the provision Of more
effectual guards against such evasion.
Of the several amendments Of the
Constitution proposed by the last Gencr-
al Assembly, and submitted to the pee
pie at the last general election, none re-
ceived the sufrages of majority Of all
the electors, | do not regard this result,
under all circumstances, as decisive YER
dict, and still believing, for reasons here
tofore fully assigned, that Annual Scs-
sions are necessary to the proper care and
security of the public interest; and that
single Senatorial and Representative Dis
tricts are indispensable te a true express
ion of the popular will in Legislative ac
tion, | respectfully recommend another
submission to the people Of amendments
providing for these important objects; l
confne this recommendation to these
amendments because | regard them as
most desirable, and because experience
seems to teach that when more numerous
separate propositions are submitted, no
one of them is likely to receive the pop
ular sanction.
