The President laid before the Senate the following Memorial: Which was read, And on motion of Mr. Dunn, laid on the table. To the Honorable, Senate and Assembly of Wisconsin: The undersigned would respectfully represent, that at the Session of the Territorial Legislature of Wisconsin, held in January 1847, he was elected Public Printer, to hold his office for one year, and until his successor was elected and qualified, and that he gave bonds for the faithful performance of his duties; that an extra session of the Legislature was called in the Fall of 1847, at which a Constitutional convention was authorized to be, and was holden in December of the same year; that the undersigned believing himself under the law, printer of that body, prepared himself to do the work at considerable expense; that said convention immediately after convening adopted a resolution to let out their printing to the lowest bidder, and the firm of which the undersigned was one, believing it to belong to your petitioner by virtue of his election aforesaid, bid the whole work off at one cent. The undersigned would further state, that he executed the printing of that body to the satisfaction and acceptation of all, and for a number of weeks employed a large force of workmen, and was at a heavy expense for labor and material, and at the close of said session, after an outlay at first cost for the public benefit of about one thousand dollars, he received an appropriation therefor of one cent, the evidence of which will be found in the Journal of the convention. The undersigned further alleges that he has never drawn this appropriation, and never received any pay whatever for work done for that body, saving compensation for the Daily Slips, which amounted to a small sum, and was regarded as an extra charge. For the amount of work done he would respectfully invite a reference to the Journal of that body and to his vouchers. He would therefore respectfully submit to your honorable body, whether it is consistent with the honor and dignity of a great State, to take the labor and capital of its citizens, without making compensation therefor; and whether himself and associates ought not in equity and justice to be paid, having now laid out of the use of their capital for about five years? The undersigned respectfully asks that this subject may be referred to a committee, and that he may have a hearing, in order that you may learn all the facts of the case, and to take such action as will do justice to the parties interested. On motion of Mr. Hunter. Very Respectfully, H. A. TENNEY. The Senate adjourned until next Monday morning, |
