In reference !o the srnc subject, Dr.
ft II. Hail, Representative from this
district, offered the following:
Mr. Hull submitted a resolu
tion instructing the committee on
the judiciary to inquire into the
expediency of settling, by law,
under what rules and regulations
private property (if to be taken at
all) shall be taken for public use.
Mr. Hall accompanied this re
solution with some remarks, w hich
were very imperfectly heard. Af
ter referring to the admission
which had been made on all sides
of the House in the case of D'Au
terive, in rjespect. to slaves being
the property of their owners, he
supposed that question to be be

He offered thi

conduct, after being in this House

thought, a sufficient pledge that
he had no disposition unnecessa

reason alleged is, that -the influx
of free negroes and manumitted
slaves from the north and from the
south is so great, as to become a
perfect nuisance, and have increa

of crime.

a question which peculiarly be

Mr. Taylor hoped that the gen
