NatisnaI Insurance Law

TO the Editor Of he Cincinnati Gazette:
Insurance agents throughout the country
are now being urged to petition and other
wise influence Congress to pass an act reeu.
latina insurance and securing uniformity in
this branch Of business.
Uodsr the thin guise Of the clause 10 the
Constitution of the United States securing
the privileges Of each State to the citizens
OF other States, It is proposed TO enact this
saormity. Ostensibly, the object sought
. right and proper, bnt really il is an attempt
on the part Of New York capital to secure
the control OF one of the most profitable
branches Of business.
To the pamphlet before me it is urged that
the different State Legislatures discriminate
against foreign companies, aud therefore it
Is the duty Of Congress to override the State
lave by . national one.
Lot it be granted that in many cases these
State laws are'unwise or unjust, does this
furnish . ground for Congressional interior.
enos1 Who are the sufferers from an unwise
law? Are not the people themselves?
Ii the people of Ohio and Indiana are
satisfied with their insurance laws, and car
exist under them, is it important that New
York men should interfere to secure to us
greater blessings2 The wonderful philan
thropy OF these generous gentlemen il
worthy OF our profoundest praise. In our
rustic simplicity mean now the citizen,
Of each State as such-we have felt able tc
regulate our domestic concerns in our OWL
way but it seems that we are mistaken.
