Perhaps no question of moro vt tul itu por r tinco to thc entire people of the St?to will be I* brought before the present Legislature, th wt' I tho Hill to repeal the Act of 180G. repealing the 1^1:ry laura of this Stale. With great I difficulty, and after humorous eloquent do ? jmonstr.itions of the gobion fruits which would billow steadily into the State, but for tho usury Mhuvs, tho Act was repealed. That none of these expected beni fils have resulted, everyone will ad.nit. On tho contrary. is j jboltevod genor.dly.that our c in ditton and pros ; ?poets Ji'ivo boon damaged by tho oh ange, and that under tho present system of interest, we y join never enjoygeuend prosperity. This is our ; decided opinion. Wo ure un agricultural ! iaoTTilTl?Tm ? ?.>.j->M~an-m^ui^?--rW^"cn'r [ frurue ol money is regulated by hw. Can j 'pur funnier** pay the prcrtent late and realize 11 profit <m tho products of their farina ? Is it jftot sppircut that tho entire profits of the farmer uro Fwallnwtd ftp in thc exactions i ,of tho capit?ilUt', and the real wealth and H prosperity of theStalu aro not increased ? It i is contended, if thc present law be repealed, j Jimmey cannot ho ha J sud the wheels td'tr ole ; will be obstrueted. Tho circulation of money u?perids not so ni Uah' on thc ruto per cent as jj -tho security iii?v.rded for its loan. People in vest in United States bonds, at seven per ] 'cont , rainer than loan to us nt twelve or j itwoaty par conti, and iii fa?t every one will I jsuspeoi those who apply at high rates. Wo S ,tliink it far belter to begin our operations on jft small and suve scale, adding our savin?s annually to tito'?ido of production, th an for years to keep up tho appearance of a hollow il and artiliieiul prosperity. Under the present jj M'?t'??, wo may | ihnr und stfivo and sweat, [ ?Boason after season, but to find that' \tc arc ? poor still, and that all our hard earnings go , nbrond to thc enrichment of the capitalist - ! ?Docs tho prosont law benefit tho uiorcliftftt? j ^"f jjen,. thou the greater tho reason fur its te j? peal. If tho merchant operate on capital I borrowed ut twelve to twenty per cent., then i ?po roust realizo, as-profit on his sale, this per. j p?nMgo-over and above his legitimate profits. This niuvtt come from tho fanner, who tu tho j ?jnsunior, and in this way a large amount is maiuStrnrtod'ftKun thc channels of production Ij^ind transferred to tho foreign capitalist to I ,he impovciialuncnt of tho State. It may bo fbr juid that in somo cases "A," by borrowinc: ? nonoy ut twonty per cont., can realize a prof I ,t, but-this-is au. exceptional case and proves jj iothing, for in nineteen out'of twenty oases, !io harrower will roap.pecuniary ruin; If bc j ?10 sucoessful, is not success at the expenso . f ftomc eiti?i>n in distress and to the injury I ioi'hnps of tho State't It may be again said . h*t he, who ventures ot n ruinons percentage li' 'nd loses, has only hiinsolf lo IdilOio ; but ir ? i not tru? that tho ruin of any individual ; i detriment id to the general prosperty, inns tucli ns tho Stato iiV' but. a ooll?ekion- of in ivldual?. Tho present law is, in few Wfn'ds, j protection M the rich nttd- powerful and ' n oppression to tho woalc-nnd poor ; and in li ict nt no period in tho history of" thc Stale, rould tho repeal of tho u?ury laws havo 'peroti'd granter detriment than ot the tinto it tn* effected. An 'ndividual. fir failing ?lr?' itmstances, borrows v illi difficnlty nnd only t ruinous rntOM, but if geiienil prosperiry .lxvails nround him, ho nmy by this means ?j hvo himself md re establish his credit ; but [hon. lli? out tro pcoplo.of u Stato nro reduced p comparative poverty, its wealth nnd stand?

Such is our condition l/IKti.'y.-- The Stale is poorer thar.-in 1*5?6, A ll&cy w ..?ot inyre pleniiful than ftt Hud timo. Tho predicted manufactories are fail? j uVei, ?uil it must ho ovulent to cybry think- | ing man, that ns runners we cannot prosper ' un capital borrowed nt eighteen per cent., nor can wo with such moans orcet tun tm fae tories so us to competo successfully with those w'.tO oper?te under moro favorable cir cu?as! met?. Wo oro poor und must pay for our bad credit, or b< git? as a poor mun docs nod create our own capital mid crodit - .This is tho only road to prosperity.

If wo were rio h. und prosper ous, tho repeal of tho usury laws, would scarcely hive, been felt j but wo aro liku th) inan I,!' failing circumstance, an I under tho present nrrang-jticnt will so continue, Un pjaliog tho usury laws, Under such cireum stances, w is opotlblg out tho flood gate i of op pression 0:1 an impoverished people. Thc State owes it to itself to olos? up the debt sive door and protect its groat interest-* pin l)ndiod; in rho occupations of productivo in dustry, until prosperity and credit uro re cs tab! ?shed: Thc advocates of tho present- law offer tw.> or runic nts for its continuance. 1st, That mon cy, like everything else, is worth' its market Vilue; and 2nd. That if thu usury law bo pj-eniictod, its design -will lie defeated hy frau 1 and concealment'. That thc latter position is I not correct, thc past has cxcmplilic I. Pu rare instances tho law might ho evaded', hut generally il Would bo obeyed, lt would bc us effectual ?8 tho law against saiuirgliog or any other purely statutory regulation. As to tho fust position, money differs mate nally in many respects from other commodi ties. Nearly all thc products of industry arc perishable and liiust ho sold nt sonic price Money, int tho contrary, will not'lej r ci t . or waste by l;eminr. lt has a valuo which ten or twenty years houoc will ro nain undi inged by wear and tear.
