Litchfield enquirer., 1861-06-06

l sAVs6ne member of Congress under the law. becense would have encouraged, as it will. . surplus n, tpulation. MT. Adams thought, as the preser law stood. the speculator had the advantage He entered into legal investigation of the sul Ject, quoting noted authorities in support of hi position. including decisions of our own court and those ofsister States. He called special a tentlon to the fewage laws of Massachusett Maine and Rhode Island. because the climat was more like ours, to show the practical benefit of the same. He made an eloquent. appeal wit regard to the liberality and patriotism of Cor nectlcut in the exercise of extrane0us natter but making a comparison on the exigencies the present bill, as calling for local pride an wisdom. The constitutionallty of this bill l hundreds and hundreds of cases, is fully estat lished.
 This whole matter is to be regulated by publi utility only, to be decided by the commissioners If this is an unconstitutional act, at least giv us chance to test it before the courts if it b sad that it is unconstitutional, shall say heart fly 7" Amen" But the presumption is almost il resitible, judging from the action of other states that no such judgment would be rendered. H believed if the bill would pass, the benefits woul be incalculable. There are no private interest to be promoted there will be such rush of car ital, after the clouds that now enshroud us hay passed away, as will stimulate every avenue o business the bill invites capital, and tell yo pass this bill and the state will ever after bles you.
 Mir. Toy, of Simsbury, objected to the bill h. 1 argued that the best lands might be overfowed and gave the data of the Pennington river t, show that slight rise would produce great dam age to farming lands. If this bill passes, m, constituents are ruined; his individual in terest were in favor of the bill, but the public interest," were adverse to the individual demand. H, claimed the law to be unconstitutional; he want ed no decisions offoreign jurists to establish thu integrity of the Constitution of the State o Connecticut; the cause of justice demands thu defeat of this bill If the eastern portion of thu State insist on this bill and pass it. the westerr portion will fight it and make it's repeal an issue in coming elections. A liquor bM has already revolutionized the politics of this State, and ,cote' bM may be made the medium for duplica ting the movement. He read an extract from the Connecticut CouRANT of l849, being a com munication setting forth opposition to the prin ciple of the bill. He hoped this was the last time this question would be before the Connec. ticut legislature. He continued in very hum orous strain, which drew out strong applause
