Mr.. EWING opposed The amendment Of the gen
tleman from Sumner, (Mr. Bennett,) because Wo-
man who desires 30 marry man socially her supe-
rfor. may allow him to have carnAl knowledge OF 4
/ her 70 compel him TO marry her. woman WAC -
destitute of virtue msy allow man to have earnsi 4
knowledge of her for the purpose Of holding IN ter
roren over him criminal prosecution. and 50 force
/ him 10 marry her. He thought it unsafe to make /
that crime and annex heavy penalty te it, which
never was a crime before. Legislatures have al /
ways haeu careful about making new crimes and
aaaes in heavy psnates TO them. When VIC nan |
Ais sac falls like Lucifer, TO more; society
has said so and says SO justly. 10 his opinion the
bill a amended simply proposes to put the sons oil
| gentl mon within the power Of women of loose VIZ
tue; for every Wouan who does fall never can be
| conhded in by brother, father, nor any one else
Bat there exceptions 70 this assertion. DE

He was opposed to making any more penal laws.
We have a sufficient number Of penal staentss now
in our Code. There is ler tdLoais 10 this country,
and where father has been sggreved in this way,
be eau take the Law in his own hands, and no jury
! can be found to oeAFict him. Women is protected
then by public opinion which stgmstizes this as
the very worst crime on her part Man does not
flrce-he asks, and she gives, and for that giving
y,u propose to put him in the Pehitenuary. Now
sh, can refuse, aud she is bound TO By every con-
dsratIon because soeiey will stigmatizs her. and
i not this moral e2psideraion slrong enough to
event any V:Ttuous woman from falling? II she
dos fall, the rises no more.
Mr.. MARTIN believed deduction TO be q crime
gilAin itself, although It is not crime yet accord
ing to our law. Tbs proposition in this bill is to
make it So Female virtue he regarded as the very
salt Of the EARTH and let throw around il the pro-
lection Of the law The snendaent proposed by
tae gentleman from Sumaer Mr.. Bennett did not
e meet with his appreciation, because he thought it
# would destroy the object of the bill. he was OPP
d posed to that principle which would lead man TO
t.ke the law in his owa hands he law abiding
man and he thought it the duty Of the Legislature
to pass Law preventing the necessity Of such 8
