And this i not unjust nor unretion

If there be no expectation, anil per

be prevailed on to enact a Bankrupt
law. the states are in uutv bound to it

It is a great evil that dilterent states

When a man in arrested n an exe

nor secure to the creditor' aiisl.n lioo,
it may safely be taken for true, in a

Imprisonment, as a punishment for

or cannot pay. is neither consistent with
the spirit, of the lines, nor with any
just views of expediency and propriety
The hui-'niess of mankind, in thia age, is
too mueh connected with a system of
mutual debts and credits to allow it to
be considered at a crime, for a man to
be in debt. ... . . ' :

are many deposites,
where it cannot be
reached by creditors, bj any legal pro
cess. One obvious ami sinnu in
stance is that of money m the lunus.
There is no mode, that I am acquainted
thority ,with. by which public utocks can be at
laclieu. or taaen in execuuou oj
itors. One might have a hundred thou
sand dollars "in ihe funds, live on the
interest, and bid defiance to his credit
ors, from whom pcrhap' he had obtain
ed the monev to make the purchase.
Annuities, rents lor hie, charged on
land, monev in the hand of executors
a
nd administrators in short notes of
hand and bills of exchange, which tbe
debtor rosy hold in liia pocket, to any I
amount, are all instancea and proofs of
the necessity of some means' tl compel
ling payment, where the power of ma
king par men' doe really exist.
This indicates the true, and only true
and proper object of impris omen; Im
dute little or no benefit to the ci editor
oblige the debtor to consider l-.imstll
as one, who cannot hereafter, enjoy the
blessing of propeity. U is quite ob
vious that great aud various evils would
result from having in the bosom of so
ciety, a numerous class of thia-descnp-
tion nl persons. i' "l),c mig'ii or
pursued; but every man' rellctlions j
will suggest many things, besides those
winch aie here meniioneu.. ,.
For these reasons, .the Slate lawt
ought to provide, as far as they consli
tutionally may do, tor a oiscnargc oi tne
debt, to follow the assignment ami alia
tribution of effects
J imagine it, would be competent for
the Legislature to provide, that when a
debtor had made an assignment ol hia
lands, tenementf .heretfiiamenta, goods,
effects ami credit!, in. trust for his ere:
diiom, the fund shall be divided among
such of the creditors at are Uling to
their iust dividend, on condition
of discharging iheir debts. If they dc
not choose to comply with ihit eondr
tion. they will retain their deals, wjtb
a right to collect it out of Ihe future ac
quisitions of the debtor, but not by ar
resting or impnsoning in person.
I am aware that many persons win
think that a law, tuch at I have now
ed. would be attended with mis
chief that there would be many fraud,
in the disclosures of deb:ora, inucu cott
cea'.ment. &c.
The answer to all such arguments
i twofold: firtt. that tuch miacbietsex
iat now to a great extenu eeconoiy,
that discriminating ivsiem it much
more likely to remedy them, than a tya
icm which makes uo diarritPina'tcn m"
