Mr. NORTON opposed the passage of

authority and precedent to sustain his posi-
ton, and declared the proposed issue of the

porary relief-would not lessen the State
debt, but would rather increase it bv so
much as the expense of the issue. 1t might
permanently injure our credit, too. and would
be OF little use to us out of the limits of the
State, even if it were legal and constitution
al.
