M G. S. SPFNCER advocated the s. nats amend
inert. Ne person imagined tho funds wouid be mis-
applied. The larger sum proposed would enable the
CCumiss,btfs " do tic busDoss required oi them IN
on efficient manner. AF sOon as this sHe expended,
nnd The Quarantine removed, property 10 the value Of
over s6UUOOO voud be IN tho bands OF tho state to
realize money upon. IL LeceFtary 10 remove
Quarartn,, rot Tor the safe,y Of Richmond County
alone, but for the preservation Of Ewes oil over the
State.
Mr. ANDREWS believed the proposition 10 nppro.
pirate ouly $500 tendod 90 defeat the removal os
Quarantine 1t would be wOrse than useless b. sp
propfiAie ouch sum- le called the attention 81 the
Hone 20 the fact, that the clsute hppropnatng
80 go 10 the payment Of the interest On the canal
irshs might be driven through the House, but would,
beyond doubt, infure tho Executive ve'o Tor tbs
whole Supply bill. The Governor could never give
bis corsent to the bill vita THIS provision IA u, con
siste, tly with hs message on the Interest bul.
Tho SPEAKER took the floor, add said he believed
The ,ebtinent Of the House had not changed since the
last vote wa, taken on the same question. ny ron
tifnert was 70 give relief 10 hc iinonu Nouoy

rebellion uoople cement would ever be made
and for one DO would never cast his vote 10 thsir
favor while violence atd mobocrscy was suffered 20

that tho Governor would veto the bill, he tpufne1
such nm argumont He held TIA, the payment OF the
interest on toe Canal debt not only constitutional
but emif'ntly ust, aud that guided his vote
Mr.. TOMLINsON replied. lie said the arguments
IL the gentleman from Osweg0 lSpcaker lAltlelohnl
have DO weight with the House when unsOund. lie
had biLsof introduced a resolution into the House
carly In the fefeion, iDquTng into the whole amount
~ the debt owed by the STATE but through the care
lepIefs cIinnsliiy Of the majority that resolution
had slept in the hands Of the Canal Committee. He
believed the State would never agree 10 pay one
dollar toward the payment Of tho Canal debt until
they ascertain what IL lie amount and where IL
il 20 end. II that course was taken, the people
would GLADLY pay the principal and interest
He reviewed the action Of the House on the Interest
bill and charged that the Speaker had oDdeavored
practically 90 arrest the Supply bill. Unless he could
force upon the House dsgraceiu act, he sought 10
embairafs the Executive Of the State, by putting ths
interest IN the Supply bill, and hAmp.ring this with
other important tems. The removal OF Quarantine ID
not IA consideration for Richmond County alone. Tbs
detre 30 drive pestencc from our shores, and m
Appropriation was asked sufficient TO accomplish IT,
lie was ashamed 10 hear the speaker who should be
statesman and legielatOr from experience, advance
the dangerous and Isrfow minded doctrine thht he
would never remove the Quarantine until the people
OF Richmond County had been punished Was he
fTonineoDl, az citizen OfNew York 10 be punished
by bringing pestetce 70 biz hearthstone becanee The
people 81 Richmond County could not be punishod
The Speaker had threatened that Nisilsnce Commit
tees wOuld sprng up If the people Of Richmond Couh
" were DOT punished. lilo thought IL more likely
Nieilaht Committees might arise when pesiilehce was
anchored 10 the LarbOr Of New York. Nj. Totnlinson
clOfed by shOwing the necessity Tor the removal OF
Quarantine, aud urging the House 10 be guided by
sebse, reHeOn, and jusiics.
hr.TUTUlLL said that $4,000 would supply a
temporary hospital somewhere 10 the vicinity Of Ne"
York but that the people did no want. Two hundred
and ff y thousand dollars would insure the removal Of
Quarantine and possibly secure Sandy Hook before
tie New.Jersey Legislature had been In session tsO
weeks. II delayed, this business would have TO bo
gone ali over again. An appropriation nado next
year woud not be in time b. secure Sandy Hook The
people did not de sire 20 fqunnder $OOO on old hunks
