| (Mr. Hoderby said that informa alton just from
the country satisfied him of the great necessity Of
enacting law, without delay, suspendlng the sale
| of property, under execution, for gwen tlme-
that he had heard of the sale of tract OF land a
few days since, at six hundred dollars that II was
sold the next day BY the purchaser for the sum OF
fifteen hundred dollars. He regarded such sacri-
ices ruinous both to the honest debtor, as well
to the better and more lo9ient creditors of the
country, and hoped that the committee would
send in bill at an early day embracing the OBJ
iects of the resolution which had just been read

| Mr.. Hutchison opposed the bill. He was op-
posed to increasing the States indebtedness, di-

now held by the State for others of doubtful va
