Any statute which relieves party from
this doty, or enables him to evade is, is
void.
An occasional, if not a frequent recur
rence to fnnademtal principles is useful.
Let us, therefore, consider teky it was
thought necessary by those who formed
our government, to make this provision in
the United State Constitution. Every
word of that instrument was well consid
ered every priuciple was founded in pa
triotism and virtue. Those who had ned

H I
in
to be tbe powers
privilege, monopoly, rank, bad their day
land were discarded. Upon a new soil
and in a fresh clime, a government was in
augurated founded upon tbe virtue and in
telligence of those who were of it. Very
tew were neb ; the masses were poor ;
and those who were expected to come un
der it by immigration were to be poorer
till ; and the whole body were dependent
upon industry and integrity far prosperity.
Under these circumstances, what was ne
cessary for tbe business and prosperity of
such a community t If it hail been left
to the control of capital, the few who had
it would have bad a monopoly, and indus
try and enterprise would have been para
lysed. To prevent this, integrity was
put ia competition with capital, indeed al
most to supply its place. Every man's
word was to be bis bona every contract
was to be unavoidable. Not only was
the capitalist assured that if he would
venture his capital for the interest of the
community he should have every guaran
tee for Us safety, but tbe laborer was as
sured that industry should have its re
ward ; that in the absence of capital to
"pay down," industry and enterprise need
not falter, because a promise of reward
should never be evaded or impaired. It
will be seen, therefore, that the provision
was
as not so much for tbe protection of cap
tltal, as for the encouragement of industry
and enterprise. It was a guarantee of
justice to all, and ia expressly against him
who would obtain the profits ot industry,
and withhold the reward. It is a pro vi
ta vor of industry and honesty, and
inst idleness and treachery.
Probably the wisdom of our ancestors
could not be more clearly vindicated than
it is by tbe circumstance which nowsur
rounds it. i..et it no sopposeu, mai were

neither creditors nor
debtors to any considerable amouut, and
are dependent upon tnefr Ubor tor sudsis
tenec : and that depends upon the invio
lability of contract. Another third, one
hall the whites, are small fanners and la
borers, dependent npou the rewards of in-
dnstfy. The other third may represent
the creditor and dcbtflsMasscs. Of these
there are, doubtless, meritorious cases on
each side., On one side there may be the
exacting shy lock creditor, and on tbe oth
er the exhausted, unfortunate debtor. On
the one side there may be the widow or
the orphan creditor, and on the other tbe
wy ependturitt debtor, It u irapoesi-
to make geueral rules to nt these ln-
idual cases ; and it was wise to leave
contract inviolable, and the hardships
to private adjustment. Probably the at
tempted interference in favor of one class
against the other, has held out false, not
to say unjust boipes, and has prevented
the private adjustments which might have
been made. As it is, we find that eight
years of stay laws have left a considera
ble indebtedness with interest and cost ac
cumulated, and creditors and sureties im
poverished, without corresponding benefit
to the principal debtors ; some of whom
pay and have sought relief from the Bank
rupt law ; and some have delayed, and
have lost the opportunity for that relief
by reason of the false hopes held out by
the stay law ; and some of whom will not
par, although their means are abundant,
and are used ia speculation and extrava
gance. Again : it was very well known to those
who framed our Constitution, thafr with
the most prudent and honest purposes,
persons would auiuetimes boeonse in vol
ed beyond their ability to pay, and that it
would be cri
ipptiug muustry ana enter
'd them no escape from mis-
prise to affri
fortune : and, therefore, the same Consti
tution which makea contracts' inviolable
by stay laws, provide for a general bank
rupt law, by means of which a debtor may
be absolved from his debts and take a new
start
Again : the laws, which they provide
for the enforcement of contracts, are not
used to the extent of oppressing the debt
or, lor there have al ways been exempt ions
of what were deemed necessaries. In our
earlier days times of great simplicity and
small estates ve bad tbe exemptions of
wearing apparel, Wheel and cards, loom,
bed and furniture, See., as our fortunes in.
crossed, the exemptions increased, and
provisions, furniture, etc., were added ;
and subsequently, as times and habits
changed other thines were added. All of
which met the approval of the public, and
was nxt injurious to creditors, whilp the
debtors weie not reduced to want, nor left
to broken spirits.
Now there is a eommendable spirit
which finds expression in our new Consti
tution and in popular approbation, to al
low homesteads ; for truly we say, why
allow a bed without a shelter to keep off
the raial
ilirmaelves one third of them
Bat exemptions and homesteads on tbe
one band, and stay laws on the other, are
vary different thiugs. Tbe former allows
a man to be comfortable and honest, and
encourages industry, while tbe latter ena
bles him to be profligate and dishonest ;
the former is for all, the latter for a favor
ed feat.
Thar has been no case before us requlr
ins the decision of the question, whether
the provision fpr a homestead in our State
Constitution is ia violation of the Consti
tution to the General
ibly, yet our Court ia so cons titut
that we have not felt t liberty to deliver
any authoritative opinion upon the su
jeet. But the faet may be Mated, that
our new Constitution was approved by
Congress, with that provisi n in. it; and
it is not to be supposed that it would have
been done, if it bad been thought to be in
violation of the Constitution of tbh United
States. And it is settled, that every pre
sumption is to be made in its favor ; as
having tbe approbation of the Convention
of the State, and of the Congress of tbe
United States. And it may be repeated
that exemptions have nlwsysexisred, not
to any considerable amountgfpo bo sjkre,
but still, in increasing amounts, keeping
pace with tbe chanawA manners and cus
toms, and the condH of the country.
If au exemption of tbe value of M00 was
necessary ia oar infancy at a jpeople with
the simplest habits and Jtrr under the
maxim, de minimus mm curui lex, it may
be that the exemption of a homestead ot
M ,000 value will be deemed less consid
erable note than f 100 theu. Aud it has
the sanction not only of Cewgrcss aud of
tbe State Convention, but of the liberal
spirit of the times as well. And it may
well be supposed to be the earnest wish
of the Government in al! its departments,
and of every enlightened aud benevoieitt
citisen, to see every man with a HOME
a home for his wife and children, a
homo to adorn aud to love his home, sns

UUsjftUB Jr9Jmv3p, pumic..pwi.
motst, aud which is founded on justice, and
which gives to every mar. a home from
which ho cannot be driven, may well be
supposed to find favor with the Court, no
member of which has Intimated an unfa
vorable opinion. If such should be the
ease, then every man will be saved from
oppression. And, in the absence of any
stay law to prevent, every man will be
obliged to do justice to his creditor!, by
surrendering to the satisfaction of hisnetts
so much property as is not exempted as
his homestead.
We have been thus full (n what may
be regarded as an unusual discourse of
the subject by the Court, because wo are
aware that the effect of our decision will
be felt very far beyond the case before us;
because of the anxious sta'e of the public
mind ; and because, in declaring Invalid a

were shown several hundred young ap

in the same holes from which old ones
had been grubbed up, the young trees, tor

ANGLING FOE DOG.
"Brick Pomeroy tells the following
gooa "oorg story.
T it M ..
Another time we were travelling
grounds we had no right to tramp ever.
The only excuse was 1 Ike that of milita
ry necessity it was better fishing through
the farms where the trout had been pre
served than hi the open lata wheat all
at 3, ridden ton times, and struck the
creek as the troop were ready for break
fast. Looking carefully for a sheltered
piece to hitch our borms, we slyly crept
on behind fences, etc., till we reached the
part of the stream not generally la bed.
A farm bouse stood a quarter of a mile
away. -We saw tbe morning smoke curl
ing lightly frpm a stovepipe ; taw a ssan
and two dots come out to do chores ; saw
women busy about tbe door, and a fero
cious bull-dog wandering about the yard.
If ever we fished close, it was then
not a whisper to disturb the birds, or the
owners of the land. We crawled through
the arass and dodged behind clumps of al
dcrs. lifting large speckled beauties out of
the water till our basket was full
This was the time to have gone ; bat
tbe trout were so large and bit so readily,
that we could not withstood the tempts
tion, so we decided to string and hide what
we had. ana take another basket lull.
So at it wo went. No sooner would tbe
hook touch the water than we had s trout.
We forgot the house, the man, the boys
and the dos.
Suddenly there was a rushing through
au oat field as if a mad bull were coming I
We looked toward the boose, and saw the
farmer and his two boys on a fence, the
tbe women in tbe door, and tbe bull-dog
bounding toward us. We sow it oil we
had been discovered. Tho well-trained

pervading all being, henceforth vmws sj

The all-pervading Spirit, even tho

fate, and conquers in every instance,
is harmless when taken by a well per
It will also cure scarlet fever. Hero is a
recipe as I have ased it aad cured my
children of scarlet fever ; here ft is as I
have used it to cure the small pox when
learned physicians said the patient moat
die, it cared: Sulphate of xiuc, one grain j
foxglove, (digitalis,) one grain; half a
teaspoonful of sugar ; mix wiib two tefcie
spoonfuU of water. When thoroughly
mixed, add four ounces of water, Take a
spoonful every boor. Either disease will
disappear iaJsrelVe hours. For a child,
smaller doses, according to age. If coun
