a. to the time to which these annual sessions
might he protractcd.
No~, ] think if yen take into consideration
the fac, that We will have annual sessions, this
restriction Of 80 days might be very well put.
Sir, there is great deal in peoples having
e. particular date 10 which they are to work
upon. The Legislature comes here, and they
find that the Constitution requires them to do
their business in 90 days; they set to work
and work up to that point; but if they come
here without any restriction, there will be
mere d;!lv-dsliy;Hg and less attention in the
commencement OF the session TO tbs business
which called tie Legislature together; and do
really Thick, with all due Difference to the
opinions Of the gentleman from Fauquier (Mr.
Sc5fr) that the amendment offered by the
gentleman fron R3rkbridge (Mr. DoRXAN
ought TO. be adopted, and | hope it will be,
Mr.. HALL, Of Wctzel.-I concur entirely
with the views expressed by tho gentleman
from ~Fauquier, tMr. Scott-) would state, in
addition to the reasons which that gentleman
presented in support Of the proposition as i:
now stands, that 1t is 4 measure Of economy to
leave the Legislature free and untrammelled.
We see in the extra and protracted sessions to
which resort has been had frequently since
this restriction to biennial sessions has been
pu, on, a pretty fair illustration Of the evils Of
that system. / am informed by the Auditor
o. Public Accounts that Tie mileage alone, re.
su!tirg from extra sess ons, is equal to
about the per diem Of the members for 70 days.
Il is not to be presumed that any Legislature
which will assemble within this Common.
wealth will extend its session 70, or 80, or
even 50 days beyond the time necessary to
transact the business of the people. If the
people cannot trust their representatives they
can hardly be esteemed fit 10 enjoy ~self:gov-
eminent, and the representative who would
SO far abuse bis trust as 10 favor an unreason-
able extension OF the p%sriod-with which the
public business might be transacted, is not fit
to represent 5 free people.
