But when the good people of to the f 'dcrral population of the counties compos- ' North Carolina implore that gentleman for relief jng them, upon their giving bon is on demand, j li oin their embarrassed situation, that gentleman is with at least two good and sufficie nt securities, found speaking against relief,- and also voting a- pi?r cent interest, which bonds shall gainst any and every measure that is brought for bearing six in all cases be made payable to tha President and i ward for that purpose. He speaks about dema Directors of the Literary Board, the borrowers' gogues, who have deception on their tongues, con- Warren, when the people call on that gentleman to renew their bonds every six months, at the same i trivance in their heads, and selfishness in their time paying all the interest which may have ac- hearts.

But, Mr. glecting, or refusing and it is hereby further pro-' b pea leer, unfortunately for tho gentleman' from vided, that no individual shall borrow more ma mount than five hundred dollars of these notes. Sec. 6. Be it farther enacted. That each agent or Joan officer, shall be required to make a return to the President and Directors aforesaid, in six months after the execution of their bonds for the notes received by them, and once in every- six months thereafter, in which returns they shall set forth the amount loaned, at what time, and to whom, the amount collected, at what time, and from whom, together with such remarks touch ing the solvency of the borrowers still indebted as shall seern to them just and true, and they shall also at the same time, pay over to the Treasurer, all moneys which may have been by them collect ed, by depositing the same in one of the Binks of this State, or their branches, and upon making such deposit to obtaie therefrom a certificate of such deposit, which certificate shall be received by said board in payment for the amount so due and required to be paid by the agents aforesaid. And upon failure of any agent or loan officer to make such return, and also to pay over, either in this of ?ome other way, all moneys which have bem col lected by them and each of them, within thirty days of the time above designated, it shall be the duty of the said president and directors to com mence suit on the bond of the said delinquent or delinquents, and shall appoint another agent or a gents, as hereinbefore provided, in his or their stead, who shall demand and receive from him or them so removed, all moneys bonds or notes in their offices belonging to said board.' '.: Sec. 7. Be it further enacted. That to prevent losses to the Board aforesaid, by insolvencies or re movals, the agents or ban officers hereinbefore ap- for relief, he is never found with the people -but, Mr. Speaker, natae .a Rail Road and let that ask for relief, and you will find that gentleman speak ing and voting for it. Sir, but a fwdays ago that gentleman voted fifty thousand dollars to redeem bonds that the State had indorsed for the Wilming ton and Raleig h Rail Road ; while that Rail Road corporation, if it had acted in good faith towards North Carolina, could' have redeemed its Bonds with ease. But thaf corporation, like nil other corporations, makes all it can out of the State, and leaves the large mass of the people to suffer from thejr unlawful acts. !: Mr., Speaker, the. people of rorin Carolina are, in a sunering condition, ana it was brought upon them by the improper schemes of th? banks. Sir, our government has, for years past been flooded with bank paper, under the dis guise of money, which was calculated to mislead the people, and has effected the object. : Now, Mr. Speaker, why not pass the bill on your table, to afford some relief? At all events, let us try an ex periment for the protection of the people. . Sir, the people are not able to meet the demands of the Sheriffs in the collection of their Taxes, much less the payment of their other engagements. , Mr. Speaker, I believe if there 'is nothing done this ses sion to relieve the people, that the Sheriffs and Con stables will be prevented, by the people, from per forming the duties of their offices. Sir, for a small debt of flve'or tea d6Ilar8,,4all the property that a poor man" has may bo-takeh away ; for there are many iron-hearted people who have no feeling for their fellow-men, who would strip them of all, and turn the poor family, the wife arti children,' out upon the cold charity-of the world. And, Mr. 2. An Act to extend the, time for register ing Grants, Mesue Conveyances, Powers of Attorney, Bills of Sale, and Deeds of Gift. Allows two years from the passage of the Act.
