by the following " Democratic gentlemen : Tho-

Martin Van Buren ? Does he not know that
M Democratic" States and State Legislature,
were foremost m sending on petitions prayingibr
the passage of such a Law !
In 1$27 Mr. Van Buren voted for a Bankrupt
LawUnd one too, with the M cheating clause,"
retrospective m its operation, and not extending
its benefits to farmers or mechanics. f A mo-
tioa was made so to amend as iwt to affect M any
of 4his acL'x , - Against this amendment are record
ed the names of Messrs. Bentoty Woodbury, Wm.
R. King, ft. M' Johnson ziii Martin Van Buren.
Mr. Van Buren was even unwilling to extend the
advantages of the law to any individuals but to
merchants and traders and made a speech against
such extension. CoL Rieh'd. M.Johnson replied
to Mr. Van Buren and said, M tbe vivifying princi
ple ought not to be confined to any privileged or.
der but the relef and advantages "held forth in the
bill, ought to be general and unconfined; and
their good effects be dispersed to the cottage as well
as the palace.

of Jiquidating his debts, which honest men fre

The interest of the debtor, the interest of the
creditors, the interest of society, and the glory of
our country, all conspire to sanction the iusasure.
1 he obiect of Government ought always to be the
mitigation of human misery, attd the advancement
of human happiness, as far as possible. If I can
igot op the smile of gladness, even to one solita
ry bosom where the tear of sorrow was flowing,
enjoy in the act gratification hich my feeble
anguage cannot describe. With these senti
ments, 1 hare ever been the advocate tor relief to
the war-worn soldier, and te the widows and or
phans of those who suffered or perished in their
country's defence ; and with the views which I
have expressed upon this subject, I have exerted
all my feeble powers in favor of tbe abolition of
mpriBomnent tor debt When I am satined that
the object' of a constitutional measure good, I
can never abandon it on account of dtfncalties
which present themselves in making it peri'ectin
all its details. Similar difficulties may be urged
with equal plausibility agamat free government ;
againut universal suffrage ; against popular elec
tions ; and indeed against all of our institutions.
t is not good to be impracticable. No man ought
to put himself up as a Stamford to which all must
come however great, he will he disappointed in
the end, and perhaps his URSfuiuess in some
measure lost We should provide a uniform sys
tem of bankruptcy upon as liberal principles as
justice will warrant and as experience shai
show its imperfections, we should give it such
consideration and amendment as will be found
equitable. I should expect its provisions to be ex
tended to all classes of every profession, involuntary
as to merchants, and voluntary as to otheks.
The law should embrace all cases existing at
the passage of the law, as well as all which may
happen in future. Such are my views upon tnis
subject I do not set up myself as a standard for
others organised as I am, I could not act other
wise, without a violation of conscience, and the
obligations of solemn duty. For I have no doubt
that if the system should be estabnehetf, its bene
ficial effects would be felt in every part of our
country, and especially throughout our whole tra
ding community. It is a system which I believe
prevails in every commercial country in burope.
and in every civilized nation on the globe. Indeed, j
irora tne earliest anuquuy, me jews, mougn an i
agricultural nation, bad their general jubilees. It
is the same measure in a qinerentform ; the same
great conservative -prioejpJe, for the same great
object In this country, all power is based on the
will of the, people. We have no legal or consti
tutional classes ; but the rich and the poor, the
fortunate and the unfortunate, are all equal
There is a perpetual revolution of property, the
poor becoming rich and the rich becoming poor ;
and to suffer any unnecessary impediments to en-

xerpnse, is to inierruui oo prosperity ui uu w

gives, extending all its provisions to all who de

more due to this great Republic.

And yetth Senatorof his party' talksaboutthe
Bankrupt Law, and " the cheating clause of the
Bankrupt Law," and asks wbat did tne Whig
people of the West gain by this!" We do not
know much about the finances of the Whig peo
ple of the West, arte therefore cannot say
whether they M gained" or lost by Uio law. Bat
of one thing we are certain, that however the
Whigs of the West, whom the ' Senator of his
party seems to have taken under his special pro -
tection, may or may not have been personally af-
fected, they have patriotism enough, if the law
was in their estimation a good one for the people
at large, to have supported it ; if a bad one, they
have sense and shrewdness enough not to allow
the Senator of his party" to throw upon the
Whigs the exclusive odium of passing it They
know that action on Bankruptcy was pressed by
all parties, before 1340. Some. Democrats too,
were in favor of extending its provisions to corpo
rations and opposed the bill of 1840, only be
cause they were not included. Thjs confining of
its operation to individuals, did not certainly alter
its principle, so far as it dtd go. There it stands,
cheating clause and all, not quite Catholic enough
for Democracy to be sure, but if its provisions had
been a little broader, and embraced corporations
in its compulsory clause, (claws 1) it would have
been hailed by Democracy as the redeeming act
The. Whigs of the West have studied their
horn books long ago, and are by no means so
simple as the Senator seems to suppose They
know why tbe acj of 1840. was not a Democratic
measure, and they know it was not because of
the cheating clause," but because of its confined
operation. The democratic leaders wished it to
be vnirersal in its action. And now, H what have
the Whigs of the West gained" by it forsooth 1
Wbat have the Democrats gained by it ! They
have rained a hobby, and an opportunity of abu
sine the Whig party for honestly passing an act
which, as they believed, would afford relief to a
large. class of citizens, struggling with want op
pressed with debt, sinking among fragments of
ruin that floated around them, on the maddened
sea of experiments. Their design was patriotic
and humane and the Whigs of tbe West will
not forget that the condemned act with alt its

The session of Parliament was brought to a
close op the 24 th ult by a speech from the Queen
in person. The speech, except iu reference to
the affairs of Ireland, is without interest
The Prince de Joixville and the Duke d'Au-

Engxaxd, being despatrhed thither, by the King
of the French to invite her Majesty to visit
France on her .contemplated excursion by sea,
with which request slie complied, and was recei
ved on the afternoon of Saturday, the 2d, at Tre
port by the King of tlie French and family with
great eclat, whence they proceeded to the chateau-
d'En, reaching that place at seven in the
evening. The Queen's journey excites tbe grea

ations were being made for her entertainment.

in our Town on Wednesday last, on the occasion
of a dinner given by the members of the Bar at.
tending Rowan Superior Court, in compliment to 1
the highly distinguished gentlemen whose name
stands at the head "of this article, A select com
pany composed of his Honor Judge Settle, and
the members of the Bar, with a few invited guests,
sat down on laM Wednesday, (the Judge's birib
day) at 5 o'clock, to a sumptuous: dinner at the
Mansion Hotel. Wine, "Wit, sentiment, song, in
terspersed with a bountiful share of anecdotes, at
which " his Honor" did bis part roost happily for
about four hours, made glad tbe hearts of as
happy a throng as ever sat at table. Many "an ips
and quiddities," many smart retorts and brilliant
repartees : many pratriotiesentiments, and glor
ious reminescences of those who once graced the
annals of Carolina's Jurisprudence, were deliver
ed without an effort. Surely a more hearty, con-
genial and intellectual array, never were corigre
