Senator Nicholson said his object in presenting
TINS bill was to give legitimate effect to the last
clause Of the second section of the fourth article of
the Constitution of the United States The pres
sure OF the public sentiment of this state the last
session, eyinced by memorials upon the subject of
iugitves, it would seem, had not since abated and
believing that, 50 far as he had extended his ac-
quantance he would be fully acquitted of possess
ing any sympathy with party claiming fugitive
from service further than the obligations Of the
constitution compel, he nevertheless Judged it
proper to provide, by an Act, for the legitimate
operation OF the provisions of the constitution
and ut the same time hedge up the way against
the manifest abuse thereof. This bill had been
haftiiy drawn up, since the last adjournment, and
ts merits must consist rather in principles than in
detail but the latter, in the hands of a compe.
tent committee, may easily be reformed, so as TO
bring the bill on trial upou its merits
By Senator Glecd, relating to witnesses (allow-
ing husband or wife to testify in cause of either
party)
ResoiutDn.-By Mr. Everts, that the judiciary
committee be instructed to inquire into the expc-
diency of amending the law of the last session of
the Legislature as to provide for the election of
one additional Judge of the Supreme Court;
adopted
