Representatives in Legislature assembled:
The undersigned citizens of Portland would
respectfully ask your honorable body to pass
law that shall be effectual to save this State
from being depleted of its money, its enter
prises from being crippled and ruined, and its
population from being drawn away, as is now
being done by the policy which has so largely
obtained among our savings banks of making
loans and investments in distant States. ~
Believing this to be vital question to the
State of Maine we most earnestly call your at
tention thereto, begging to remind you that the
policy of Massachusetts,, in confning the loans
of savings banks to Home securities has given to
the industries of that State, an impulse which
is stranger to those in ours, and which they
can only feel when we adopt a simuar pOlicy." "

State government had done much good, and
the people would sustain it. He was in
favor of the motion to remain in perpetual

wise.
Mr. Faulkner said it was humiliating that
the members of the bona tide Legislature
should be subject to arrest by pretended
officers of fraudulent Legislature; but.
nevertheless, such was the fact, and he be-
lieyed the circumstances which surrounded
us are unparalleled, and but few persons
understand them. By attempting to arrest
members of this House, the Carter faction
hope to bring on conflict, and throw the
responsibility of that conflict on the lawful
Legislature.

then put, and unanimously carried.
