ON IMPRISON \ir NT CUR DKBT.
We 'lo nut know thai we ever read
any tbtng stronger on this subject than
lhe following extract from the message
ot governor Robertson to ihi legislature
o{ Louisiana, at the commencement of
U?4n?>ual session. A'at. Intel.
** At the Lst session ot the legislature,
1 pto|H>?ed lor ns onsidtiation the pro
priety of abolishing imprisonment lor
debt; or, in other words, of rescuing the
individuals of society irom the meanest
of ail slasery and the most insulting of
all tyranny, that or confinement in a jail
by one ul the i.seivcs. It is the boast of
| the institutions of America to have se
cured the liberty of ni3t> against public
oppression; whi.st they have left it the
victim of individual tyranny. The state,
the United States cannot con 'uct even
criminals to a ptison, without a public
trial before le.rned judges and impartial
juries, whilst a creditor, by means uf an
oath in the first instance, and subsequent
ly by the fial ot a single obscure justice
ot tne peace, may indge l>y the side of
I the convict, in the same nunsion of vice
and misery, an unturiunaie and less ta
vo'cd debtor. Barrier after barrier is
elected between lhe murderer and his
cell, whilst the way is clcar fioin ob
structions and the doors of the dungeon
stand optu wide (or the reception ol the
debtor. But it would seem that the in
| justice and inhumanity of the practice
are objections not sufficiently strung to
' produce its abolition; will it be yielded
up if it '? e shewn to be contrary to the
constitution? Is it nut a violation of con
tract? Docs it not add an engagement to
thai agreed on by the parties? The pro
mise is to pay money simply ? the taw
I ad If, or render the body to prison.
?? it may be, as it has been said, that
the laws are known, that they are in the
contemplation uf the partus, mat their
provisions torm a part uf the agrtement.
But this, to the exient o! the proposition
as stated, is a lanacy; ttie parlies con
tract with a view to none hut constitu
tional law?. Laws viola ing a contract
arc unconstitutional, and any change
whatever of the express agr ement be
tween the pat ties, is a violation ot the
instrument, and cons qoently void.
What v>ou!d be ihr effect of an agree
ment on the fiart qf an individual to un
dergo imflrinonnient Jor a certain time in
discharge oj a dcbr? Wou.d the courts
cnfoice i?? It i> believed that they could
not ? because the right of liberty is una
lienable ? becau->e the person is secured
against unreasonable seizure* ? b< ? a?j.?e
cruel punishment cannot be inflicted*
I But if imprisonment be not found in the
contract, ur, if lound, be nugatoiy, can
it be superadded by the laws, and cu. ?
sidcred binding on the partii s? although
all these principles ate violated as well
as the sacrcdnessof the conn act itself?"

feet. Mr. Godlt-y has no doubt he could
open a ship channel lor vessels drawing
25 feet water, from Philadt lp ia to n e
ocean, provided no rocks interfered.
We understand he is willing to dispose
of the right to use his machines for a
state or tor a particular river, or any
part therof; and will furnish am inf< r

ly useful to those states which have em*
barked, or may hereafter embark, in the
widening and deepening of the beds of

Professor Lindsly, of Princeton Col
lege* in an excellent discourse lately
puolithed, stales the following exuaor*
dinary facts: ? u For more than thirty
years past, certainly, not a single death
has occurred among the students of this
institution (the college of New Jersey.)
nor have 1 been able to ascertain that
such an event has ever been witnessed
in Nassau Hall." ? Hud auch an event
ever occurred, it could acarcely have es
caped the enquiries and researches of
professor Lindsly, and it is therefore ?air
to presume that it never did occur; and
yet, it would seein almost miraculoua
that in more than seventy years not a
death should have taken place among
so large a number of atudents as have
generally attended that seminary.
