Troup called for the confide ratk-n of the motion made by him on Friday lad for priming for the life of (he Houfe certain papers re lanv- to the Yazoo claim. Mr. Bacon moved to amend it fo as to include the following papers : tG >a of ti e legiflature ©f Georgia j if don the 7 hof January, 17 55, [j- ;it?rg to (undry companies and individuals certain lands therein rie'cribeu ; the m’ flags of the Pre fix nt if the Ui/irea Hiatts ccmmu mcated ro this Houfe on the 17 th d.v of Feb-uary 1795; an adt of Corgrefi, f ailed the 7th day of Ap-iJ, 1798, for an amicable fetrle i: ent of lim ts with the date of Ge ga, and authorifing the efiab liffment if a government in the M tl.fliippi Territory, and an adt fiipp’cmental to the lad mentioned id, pafled the 10th day of May, 1800 ; and the report of the com mit tee cf claims on the memorial of fundry citizens of the date cf Maflkchufetts and others, purcha fi rs under the Georgia and MiiTif fippi company, made to this Houle an the iS hday of January, 1805. Mr. Troup had no objection to imluqe in h s motion all the papers merdoned by the gentleman irom Iv (fachufetts but the fird. The H ufe could not get at the ad there a iuded to, becaufie the virtue of the people of Gtorg a had induced them iok mr.iy to confign it to the flitnes &'.d nothit g cf it remained but its sfhes, from which it could not, Pi ceuix I kr, revive. Ic had bttn committed to the fl .mes becaufc it was an uncoriditutional adt of an uncct diiuiional leg flatuie ; a le giflicure unconditutional beeaufe corrupted, an adt unconditutional becaufc refulting from and originat ing in fraud. He afked the Houfe Wi eiher they would fandtion the corrupt adt of the leg'fluure of Gnorgia, when in the mod foiemn manner the people of Georgia had configned ic to oblivion ? Unlefs for the purpole of infulc to the date of Georgia, the houfe would not in any manner far.dlion fuch an adt. It would be in cffldt to kg (late for the date of Georgia, which this houie had no right to do. Mr. Bacon iaid that cne fraud of the tranlacbon had been alleged a gaind the petition referred lad week, as a rraion why it fhould not be confidered. Ic was impjflible to get a corredl underda.idir g of the circurr.fiances attending the granr, unlefs the houfe had the adt in its poffcffion. How would it be made to appear that the legiflature had adted corruptly, except its adt, and the names of the members concur ring in it v’ere produced ? file knew not how the g niletnan would preve the corruption vvh.ch he had pledged himffll to prove witiiout that -..dt—and Mr. B. laid he was d< Srous of affaiding every conve nience to the gentleman in the talk he had undertaken. As to the adt having been burnt, Mr. Bacon faid he was much miftaken or he had fieen ccpTs of it in the printed doc uments in the Clerk’s Library.— The houfe, by ordering it to *e printed, would not exprds any opi nion on the validity cf the adt. Mr. Troup obferved that as much* cf the adt of 1795 as was neceflarv for the purpole alluded to by the gentleman from Maflachufetts, was recorded in the adt of 1796, and fo much he had no ohje&bn to have printed, as it was a matter of record. Mr. Bacon replied that as much of the adt of 1795 as was necelTiry.. for the purpole of the refeinding le-’ giflarure had been pubkfhed in ihe adt of 1796 j it was not to be fup pofed, without imputing to that le giflature any improper motive, that any more of it would have been publilhed in the aff. But he was defiroua of feeing the whole of the adt. M r . Bibb remarked, to (hew that this adt was not on record, that a year or two afi.er the pad ge of chs refeinding acr, certain gentlemen had been appo ; nted to publlfh a ciigefl: of the laws of the (bate of Georgia. They happened to be in favor of the claim, and in filled upon inferring in the work ti c act of 1795. The people of Georgia would not permit if, aid the book in which this act was in ferred was declared by the legifla ture not to be a digeft of the laws of Georgia. Mr. Livermore made feme fur ther obfervarions ©f the fame tenor as thofe of Mr. Bacon, and Mr. Troup replied. When the queftion was taken on including the paper objected ro by M r . Troup, ic was negatived 53 to 46. And , Mr. Troup accepting the other papers as a parr of 1 i tion, the whole was *g:'* ; 42. December e-o. The houfe again r V 0 into a committee of tit v:J ; , ,vT.
