Excerpt from Documents of the Assembly of the State of New York, Seventy-Fourth Session, 1851, Vol. 5: No. 132 to 149, Inclusive If the system of landlord and tenant, as it exists in our rural dis tricts, is a public evil, militating against our republican institutions, retarding the advancement and blightixfi the prosperity of large sec tions of the State, and antagonistic to due self respect and personal independence, and justly odious to the occupants of the manorial lands; and if it shall appear that the patroons and landlords have enjoyed greater privileges and immunities than other classes of ourcitizens; if our law books shall show them to have long been the especial favorites of legislation and of courts; then your committee submit that it is the duty of the Legislature, by all equitable and constitutional means, to discountenance its continuance - nay, to be sedulous and astute to effect, by constitutional means, its speedy abolition; and it will be no answer to the prayer of your petitioners to be shielded on equitable terms from twice paying the rents or for the use of such lands, to inform them that an act for that purpose would be special legislation, and that though it would be promotive of the public weal of the whole State, yet, as only some three or four hundred thousands are more directly interested, therefore it should not be granted. Wise and equitable governments are ever attentive to the grievances of their citizens and prompt in seeking a remedy; but unenlightened and tyrannic ones permit them to remain unredressed until they cease to be endurable, and ultimately result in anarchy and rebellion or revolution. No cause, however laudable or sacred, has ever long escaped un stained by the base conduct of some of its adherents; but it can never be derogatory to legislators, nor beneath the dignity of the State, to ferret out and remove all just grounds of complaint among its citizens, and to endear its government to all classes by cherishing their contentment and happiness, and thus answering the great end for which governments are instituted among men.
