MIR. Sherwood of Fairfield advocated the rights
of the poor farmer with his usual force and
ability.
Mr. Stewart of Bristol thought it possible to
egislate 50 much for the poor man as to impair
his credit thereby.
Mr.. Whttermore of Belvidere thought there
was an. unfavorable discrimination in property
made by the bill.
Mr.. Myers Of Jamaica thought we were
driving away our young men, whom we could
retain, if We leglslated to protect their rights.
He was glad that we were gradually advancing
towards such protection, and hoped this bill
would be sustained.
Messrs. Slayton OF Calais and Dickerman
argued that our legislation exempted too much
from execution already, and that it did no good
to the poor man, but rather harm.
Mr.. Dyer of Salisbury doubted about legisla-
ting to retain our young men ; he did not know
but it would be an excellent plan to give them
good preaching.
Mr.. Olmsted did not fear that the poor man
would be injured by the passage of the BILL lie
did not know why the arguments IN favor of it
were not sound. They were certainly spacious
He did not think the House would act rational
ly unless it should discriminate between the
property Of different classes. II the tools of the
mechanic were exempted from attachment, he
could not see why the team of the farmer should
not be also.
The third reading of the bill was then order
