Mr. ADAMS, from the Committee on
State Affair-, rejxirted l»ack a bill relating
to the office of County Treasurer, with
amendment*, and the rvcomincudation that

County Treasurers shull hold their office
until the year 18C0—one yenr more than
the time for which they were elected.
Mr. VAN KTTEN thought this was an
aaxuniptii nof power totally unwarranted,
under any circumstances. The right to
choose their officers hud Iwn given to Un
people, and it would Ik* wrong to extend the
term of this office. The l-egUlature had no
powar to legislate for Uic benefit of certain
nxlividuids. or for ilk* recipient* of any of
fice, and if this measure is to be adopted, he
would introduce a bill grunting a similar
privilege to all the officers of the several
countx - in tlie State.
Mr. HALLsuid the bill was not fram'd
for the purpoee ol robbing tlx* (x-oplc of
any portion of their prerogative*, but was
merely u bill to continue in office men who
had Ixrii legally elected by the |xnple them
selves. He could nee no criminal amuinp
tion ol |Riwcr in the Dill now under conside
ration.
Mr. VAN KTTEN said the right of the
people to select their own officers was some
thing he should always suiiixirt, und liny at
tempt at assumption would iixrt hi* opposi
tion. conic trom what quarter it may.

|K>scd by the committee were agreed to.—
