There are many oomcientious monied men, when twy can turn their money to better account than to receive 7 par cent, will not lend it, though offered even 10 percent, for tJrt uw of it, notwithstanding that may excrtd any advan- tage they mightotherwise obtain, because tftey cannot Receive th«t rate of interest without fiolitiug a lt«rof the land. Tha consequence M «h»t the borrower is thrown intp the power of the profeised usurer, who mikw hit own twrot, fbr be bit no oompot- itor—who extorts, for he has no conscientwus scruples—and who is exorbitant in proper^ t»ntotrwrje«or«tniqueheinay besttppos- ed to incur. This k the operation of the usury laws in the cities with merchants. In the country it is still more doitructifs. A dealer it _ under the necessity of raising a ^100^ %Jrle ma* have it—and must have it to-day. He has a real estate always estima- ted to be worth flOOO; but to day ha can ob- tain only a $1000 for it. This sacrifice the. law not only permits, but invites j for it will not aUow hiro to make his note, and by pay- ing a large inter est, say 1 & per cent, if you please, relieve himself and preserve his prop- erty. If he asks the loan of a (1000 upon these terms, the usury laws say, no, it is ille- ga^it is usurous: you shall not po into the market and receive 5850 nil your note 0ft 51000 for a twelve month; but you may go into m1» market with your estateof |^S00O and sacrifice it for 11000. Theconsequenc- es, as welt as the contradiction, were obvious enough. . I also object to the law, because it cannot be enforced. The wants and neces- sities of mankind render it a dead letter.— It invites to evasion, aqd the cunning and artful elude all its provisions. It does not. protect the poor and necessitous; hut on the contrary imposes additional burdens. When applied to, the lender says, I admit 12 per cent, is the whole value of money; it is enough, and as' much as I ought to receive; but If I.lend yon the money at this rate of interest, I incur a risk by so doing, I expose myself to the penalty of the law, and for this risk yon must give me an additional 3 per cent* $he moral sense of a man will induce\ htm to consider it a crime to take a greater rate of interest than that fixed by a statutory provision. He knows that he violates the law; and to guard against the consequences of that violation, he exacts an additional premium, lam decidedly of opinion, that our usury laws ought to be repealed; but as sudden changes ate frequently dangerous, I approve of the suggestion of the Sneaker, that the repeal should be prospective. Mr. Spencer said he had brought in the bill which bad, been alluded to, to repeal our usury laws- It was very evident that the rate of utterett now established bylaw was nqta fair compensation, for the use of mo- ney, not being equal to its value. Money was wanted, and would be lent if its value coukl be obtained without violating the law, hut now men of property engaged in ro'an- tfacturing and other branches of business t§i3^.tb»a lend their; money at seven per mSbte^thit measure, tn4 thotefcte would consent to the law bejug prospective. ...Jftlr.

We are pleased that this question has been thus brought forward, for this consideration of the people at least, and we hope they will give it that consideration whkb Its importance de- mands. Tha Legislature of Massachusetts, convinced of the evil tendency of their laws la this respect, have recently, in effect, abolished them; and the time probably is not far distant, when the people of this state will arrive at a similar conclusion. At nil events, we wish that the subject might be thoroughly discussed. The Ltgidalvrt. —Owing to the length of the President's message, we have been under the ne- cessity of omitting our usual legislative summary this week.

He was convinced boif over that sucli a measure at the present time would be highly injurious to the public, and that it was not-expected: such also ap- peared to be the opinion of the gentlemen who were in favor of the measure, and yet wero Willing that the law they should pass, should not go into effect for a year or two. Why is this but because they know the pub- lic mind is not prepared for the measure, and.(hat fhe public good does not require it ? If U*ey thought otherwise they ought to in- sist upon the passage of the law, and not feav$. it to the subsequent ratifications ai the pepn^e, like a proposed amendment to the constitution. j$r. tfaote expressed bis opposition to a repeatof^e.usury laws; he thought such repeal wrong jn principle, and hi* constitu- ents did not expect it.
