Bat this suspension of the laws had a

not want a stay law. They had more

In reference to the bank suspensions, he
said, we as a Legislature had never sane
toned anything of the kind. We have a
statute which cOmpels these banks to pay
specie for notes, by motion or warrant
This argument was more for buucomb
than anything else. In addition to this
he doubted whether any Legislature had

repeal OF the stay law, in 4 short dime
could be worth fifty thousand. The letter
also stated that the writer had lately Wit

Mr.. FARNsWoRTR said that nearly every
man who ayailed himself of this stay Law.
was sued by the creditor in order 10 OBJ

the stay law he forteits the confidence OF

Of this stay law has no credit and is there

men. IL makes them reckless and careless
OF their reputation for honesty. He con-
tended that It was forthe interest of the
debtor that these stay laws should not
pass.
Ar. SNIDRR moved an amendment that
the law should expire on the LIST day Of
January, 1854. -
Mr.. DAVIS said If the House considered
It wise to extend this law to 1854 it would
