 PUBLIC MEETING-BANKRUPT LAW.

 In pursuance of public notice, numerous meeting Of citizens, m0stly men of business held in this .O express their views in relation to the passage of Genernl Bankrupt Law by Congress; whereupon AMos M. COLLINS vas called te the Chair, and CAL

 The object Of the meeting having been stated by the chair. on motion. committee, consisting of Ro land Ma,her, Erasus Smith, and Daniel P. Crosby, Esqrs, were appointed to prepare and report resolu- ons ET the consideration of the meeting.

 The committee reported the following resolutions. which having been ably supported hy Eras,1s Smith, Amos M. Collins. and LeoNayd Kennedy, Jv. Esqrs., were unanimously adopted:

 Whereas. nasmeFous petitions having been present. rupt Law which shall cancel or annul under certain crenmstances, the obligations subsstng between ere. ditOF and debtOr-and

 Whereas it is the deliberate opinion of this meeting that such law, embracing the general provisions of the bill urged at the last session of Congress, would affect unjusy the rights of creditorsbe detrimental sense of commercial honor and obligation which forms the h0sis of fcredit-Therefore,

 Resoiued, That we are opposed to the passage of such a law for the following reasons:

 Because it destroys the relation between debtor and creditor voluntarily assumed by the parties henl- selves. By Feleasing the debtor from his obligation to

 

 tor parted with his property; and thus nsateray af fects the validity Ofsubsisting contracts.

 2. It holds out strong inducements to rash and ad- can be wiped of with the sponge of insolvency, is direct premium on hazard and OveE-tTadings and brings the reckless sPeculator intc successful cope tition with the careful end honest dealer. a The laws relating to Bankruptcy, enacted in other countries and under different forms of govern mentv and which are now sought to be engraed into our systems of legislation appear have been pas sed, originally for the purpose of placing the person of the debtor beyond the reach o the creditor. With in the ass few yeass: great change has taken place prisenment for debt wi have place in the codes of civilized nations This change is an additional req son why the property Of the debtor should remain subject to the just claims of his creditor.

 f. Because an enlightened public sentiment will not sanction measures for the enforcement Of claims against honest but unfortunate debtor. and the history ot trade and commerce iR this country presents few cases where such debtor has failed to obtain fub discharge r0U his liabilities on the sur render of his property. s Because system oi Bankruptcy must of neces- sity require the surrender Of the property of the nsO vent into the hands cf Commissioners, who are paid for their services from the assets avas of such perty. 1T the insolvent is honest he is mach better honest he win co select his time EoE becoming hank rup and dispose of his property to leave little or nothing in the hands os comnassioneFs- indeed the histeey of all proceedings under banlrups lsws fully prove that the Of the insOlvene mostly absorbed in the expenses of the commission, and that little or nothing is left for the creditors.

 G. Because the Bankrups Law formerly enacted by Congress failed in its objects and was abandoned by it's friends an unwse and unjust interference be- tween debtor and creditor.

 ' Because Bankrupt Law is partial in its opera ton, aiming only to benefit the eommercia! snd tra ding classes. and overlooking altogether the interests of productive lahof.

 g. Because, finally, we are opposed to continual change in legislation, affecting the relations of debtor and creditor It gives instability trade, discOurn ees enterprise, and destroys that mercantile conf ence which is necessary to the prosperity and best in, rests of the country.

 On motion, a Committee of Correspondence was appointed, consisting nf Amos N. Colins Wm. J. Hamersley, Allied Smith, Calvin Day, and Ezra White, Jr. :. On motion, if was resolved that the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the Chairman and SeeTeia state. A. N. COLLINS, Chairman.
