y DEBATE
OS the Bill to prevent Oppression it
under Fxecution
Sales
; Saturday, Dec 23. , 1
The bill bcinff read for its first reading
a motion was made by Mr. Mebane
postpone the bill indefinitely. "
- When l e Reporter entered the House,
. : tt :.l
XVlr. Jjv7arim was speaKii'j uc aim,
this bill was intended to prevent the pro
. perty of a debtor being sacrificed for less
than two-thirds of its value and, he doubt
ed not, wonld have a happy effect on the
community, .
Doubts 'hadJ;een expressed as to the
consitutionalitv.of jhis bil?. He had r.o
ioubt on this point." When a la w passed
making' it ; necessary to advertise land ta:
ien under execution forty days before it
was sold, instead of ten days, no objection
vas made to it;; and if ti.e Legislature
could extend the time of advertising from
ten tolbrty days, they nrght extend it to
-a vear.- -' (' ' . '.
'Mr. M. said he had every reason to be
lieve that this bill would meet with much
opposition fronf gentlemen possessed of
great legal taleptsl He had made these
few remarks in favor of the bill that they
might be answered ; and he wished gen
tlemen to shew jwhat patt of the Consti
tution prohibits the passage of this bi)l.
.Mn ileiane cnfessetf. when he had to
. meet Gentlemen of the Bar on a constitu
tional question,, he felt himself much at a
loss, as he was belter acquainted with the
Plouch than the examination of constitu
tional question. But when gtntlemen
talk about contracts, he thought he knew
nmethinp' fthrn'it them. and uhen thev
- " - - - , -
might bexonsidered as' impaired. Sup
pose, for instance,, said he, 1 make a con
tract with my neighbour, and sell him a
tract of land for SCO dollars payable at a
given time. He gives me his Note for the
amopnt And fit h expected that at the
expiration of the time, he will pay' the
money. What, further is understood ?
Why, that if he fails to comply with his
contract, the lawof the land will enable
me to get judgment and execution within
a certain period.. This is the understand
ing at the time the contract is entered in
to. But, by this bill, the Legislature steps
in, and say s, No ; we will alter the obli-
" gation, the contract shall not.be fulfilled
according to your understanding of it ;
you shall .either tftke this man's property
at two-thirds oFwhat. it may be appraised
at, or wait until yc-u can get the money.
This is clearly an alteration of the original
contract, and IsV-jn effect, a -suspension
law. And we have had the decision of
tor Supreme Court-on'this question.
However desirous J may be, said Mr.
M. to relieve tfie distresses of my fellow
citizens, my conscience will not suffer me
to infringe the Constitution to effect even
this object. . : ' '
But gentlemen say this is not a Suspen
sion Law. ,What ele is- it, asked he?
Suppose I have taken an execution out
against a neighbour, and levied upon his
corn, and it i3 to be exposed to sale to pay
his debt. Three geed men are to be call
ed in to say what the corn is worth ; and
a gcod honest Farmer will tell you that
corn is well worth half a dollar a bushel,
and this he wll do on oath. Take two
thirds of this valuation, and it will exceed
the market price, and of course, will not,
sell. So the payment of the deot will be
Suspended J !
There is another prohibition in the same
article of the Constitution of the U. States,
which says' that r.o'State shall make any
thing but gold and silver coin a tender in
.payment of debts." This bill proposes
somethmgTike a tender of property.
Another. objection to this bill is, the bad
' influence it will hare on the morals of our
country. Mr.M. thoughtit high time that
he people should know they must cam
ply with their contracts ; &nct that they
may run into' debt and difficulty, with ': an
expectation that .the Legislature will in
Jerfcre with their contracts. Lcok at the
effect this has had in a SisJer State: It
aasbeen ruinous totheir morals. If, said
Mr. M. the Legislature "can suspend thel
payment of a debt cne year., why net two
years, why not three yearsj or forever ?
u C niUSt be ,ndctd pninipbtent if we can
thus break in . between the contracts of
uebtors and creditcrs. For his part he
nad ntf doubt that the measure, proposed
was unconstitutional, he must, therefore,
oppose it. . . - ' '
Mr. ron said, if the argument of the
gentleman trom Orange had any weight,
ne Legislature was reduced to an" humi
liating situation indeedtheir consciences
are to be pfaced.in the hands of the Su
preme Court; .They have declared a sus
pension law unconstitutional, and there -
S? ft! UgisLatrure ha.ve no ri5ht to pass
Jbe bill now before the- House. It has
een said that this bill infringe tho.
lae in i the constitution of the United
anv? "h.,ch sa:s!" No State shall pass

coustruction, he asked, could be given to
it f Is it possiblei to pass anf law which
will; net violate a contract that changes
the manner in which you shall enforce
debtors to make payment. Yet this is a
proceeding acknowledged to be within
the province of the Legislature. Tbey
have the power to alter the laws in' this
rcsnect whenever they please. ' Look,
said he, at a law you have passed at this
session for the relief of debtors. When
you entered ; into a contract before the
passage of this lawV you had a lien on your
debtor's body, whereas now you have no
such lien. one could doubt," Mr. A.
said, but I he Legislature hasfthe power
of altering the situation of debtors and
"treditors: Tf, instead of holding a Court
on the first Monday of a month, you di
rect it to be heldon the 2d, 3d or 4th
Monday, you make as great a change in
the obligation of a contract, as is propos
ed in this bill. - !
Mr. (haham said, he would not occupy
the time of the House in; joining the lists
with the Knights from Pasquotank arid
Halifax, who had handled the -various
weapons of: the national armory, if not
with . skill at least with great obstinacy of
character. The bill, he considered, as a
' perfect absurdity, and certainly one of
, the most fungcus excrescences that iiad
I yet appeared for the relief of the people
u was in iaccpassiuj a suspension low,
which he believed unconstitutionaVand
should therefore vote for its indefinite
postponement.
The question was called for. 'u
Mr. Hillman said, before, the question
was taken, he felt it due. to himself and
his constituents, to give to the House the
reasons which would, induce him to vote
for the indefinite postponement. t -r
Mr. M. observed, that the gentleman
from Pasquotank had denied that xhis
bill was unconstitutional, oecause as soon
as a judgment is obtained, cn end is put
to the contract; This was a most extra
ordinary remark from a lawyer. When
you call in the aid of a court to enforce
your contract, that tkis step puts an end
toil ! - . i ;
But the gentleman says this bill is not
unconstitutional, because the Legislature
has a right to say in what manner con
tracts shall be enforced. But if the Le
gislature had a right to put off the pay
ment of a debt to a more distant day. than
the contract fixed, might they not with
the same propriety, fix an earlier day ?
If they can relieve one of the parties toja
contract, they might also relieve the
other.- . . ' j ' . . . -
But, said Mr. H. on the grounds of ex
pediency, this bill ought not to pass.'i
What standard, he asked, would be erect
ed .for fixing two-thirds of the value of
property f l ne only proper criterion
wnnlrl hp what it wniihl hrmo- in . fait-1
nnd men market. The rPntJpmnn frm
Pniinani- hnH pvim-pccp himif xor.tr i
friendly during the session to the relief of
poor debtors ; but this bill is better cal
culated to relieve creditors than debtors,
by inducing persons to come forward as'
securities when sales cannot be effected,
which would be. most frequently the case.
Mr H. said, if this bill passed it wo.uld
operate injuriously on the community by
increasing the price of all goods purchas
ed from' the stores. - For when our mer
chants go to New-York or Philadelphia
to purchase goods, the northern merchant
having heard of this law, will take ad
vantage of it to increase the price of his
goods, 25 or 50 per cent, on account of the
impediments placed in the way of a reco
very of the debts which they may contract.
And, of cr.urse, if more, be paid for goods
abroad, the merchants of our State, will
charge them accordingly to1 their custom
ers. ' .-i I
But, Mr. H. said the bill was doubtless
unconstitutional; If, when a creditor is
entitled to. recover payment at a certain
time, an act be passed putting him off
twelve months longer.;the contract was
surely impaired ; or, if he be not willing
to wait twelve months longer, he must
take property in payment, which is mak
ing property a tender in payment of debts'.
He, therefore, trusted members would
pause before they voted for this bill. , V
Mr. Uadc made a few remarks against
the passage of the bill, on the grounds of
its unconstitutionality and inexpediency.'
, Mr. L. Walker replied to the objections
which had been urged aerainst the bill.
and insisted on its constitutionality "andsc
pediencv; V 4'y' 1 ' ,
The motion for ah indefinite postpone
ment of the bill being negatived 75 to 4S,'
the bill passed its first' reading without a
division, , ? ' :.
A V, v Saturday . Afternoon. ' ;
- The samebill beiKgread for its second
reading, : " " ' U
MfBarririger said, on the first reading
of this bill he had voted against the inde
finite postponement ; for he had no obfec
tion to the passage Aof the bill; providedeit
could be put ipto such a shape as would
suit the house. 7-: jy': pkA
-His doubts were not as to the constitu
tionality of the measure; but as toMts ex
pediency. Indeed the bill ?s so defective,
in its present state, that it could never be J
carrieu inter erieci. tie nw nopea:the
house would have consented to hav.e'made
the bill the order, of the day for Monday,'
that it might have been made more per-
If the bill passes, it might relieve some
citizens,! but he did not believe it would
have a good effect. on the j great body qf
the- i people. On persons jwlioT would, be
liable to.be SHed in the Federal Court it
would have a bad effect. ; In the twtv last
Federal Circuit Courts in this .State; judg
ments had been ohtairied td the amount of
S20O.000, and this money is not yet col-
lected. Nor canJicse persons be reliev
ed by this bill were it" to pass. The per
sons against whom therndgments were
obtained rely upnmakinQollections to
meet them ; but we are now about to ;ut
this out of their power-x:, ,' ,
rr MrBi'apprehended thatirthis bil were
to pass, its provisions would be evaded by
bringing, suits in the Federal Court. Jf
he had large bonds due from persons in
this State, it wodld lie necessary only to
get an individual of ariotiierState. to en
dorse them, in order to nia?;e them reco
verable in the Federal Cohrt. This was
his opinion, though he might be mistaken.
If there were any individual who felt
more fcr the distresses of his fellow-citizens
than he did, or would go greater
lengths to serve them, he knew him nof.
But , though he was sensible that many
were embarrassed by, the difficulties of
the present times, yet lie did not believe;
this bill was calculated to relieve them.
Take, said he, a single instance. The
property, of a man is levied: upon who has
a sniall stock, and who owes as much as
his property is worthNb sale is made.
He is unable to comply Withthe requisi
t ion ;cf this bill to find security for the
forth-coming of his property at the end
of the twelve months. His property is
daily wasting. . But suppose he gets secu
rity; it is probable that at the end of the
term the property will have been consum
ed, j The interests and costs will nearly
have doubled the debt, and the man's
means of payment will be less than when
the suit was commenced. !
, Mr. o. would nave peen glaa . it any
measure could have been devised for the
relief of the people ; buit; he had yet
seen nothing calculated to produce the ef
fect; He had heard of but one effectual
mode, which was 'to tax those who owe
nothing to relieve those who are in debt.
If creditors would give some indulgence to
their deb'torsk this would enable them to
get along better than this bill. But if this
bill passes, creditors will immediately re
duce their debts to judgments, and by this
course the' debtors will be put to greater
difficulties than at present. ; He had voted
1 for the pbstponemeut, that the bill might
! be rendered more perfect i but finding it
still in us imperfect state, he shculd now
vote against its passage, j
Mr. Mebane could not - keep silence
when a bHl was about to De'hafried-thrn'
all its readings on the same day, which he
f consiacrea aerogatory tc
to tne otate. ii
' t does pass, said. he, I wil 1 not be charg
ed Vtlth it for I believe it to be a direct
:.Iv!fT5oni?f the constitution. "
M When he this mornme vmade a motion
;to postpone the bill, he had stated that
j thej.minds fnnembers were too, much en
gaged about closing the business of the
session, to deyote that, attention to which
it would ' be necessary to make it answer
the! purposes for which it was intended.
But , gentlemen say we do not come t'or?
ward withour amendments. Wculdypu,
said he; ask a man to amend what he
believes to be radically wrong? . The gen
tlemen who support this measure ought
to bake it perfect. We think it ruinous
in.itself, and are not willing- therefore to
build upon it.
It is to operate, said Mr, M, as a com
plete suspension of the collection of debts
in bur county. To put citizens, who do
not wish to take advantage of it; in a situ
ation to do so against their will I have
debts due to me,8c in order to pay the debts
which I owe, I must collect What is due to
me, and thus be obliged to take advan
tage of a law which I extremely dislike.
Mr. M. would leave the! subject with
the house jlbut he begged them to ponder
well before they tpok this leap in the dark,
j'l Mr; Mston said jf he thought with the
geptleman from Orange, that to" pass this
bill v.ould be to violate the constitution;
he; should "act like him; but the; House
has already decided upon the principle of
the bill by a large - majority, on a morion
tolpostpone " it indefinitely. .He had Tnof
examined the details of th e bill it was
the principle for which he contended.
But as the bill has but a Viugle object, vj.
thiat a man's property ' shall inotbeisold
under execution, unless it witl brfng two
thirds of its value, the details could n;t be1
velry complex." The gentleman from O
range says, that this measure: will put a
total stop to the collection of debts'. Can
he believe that property will not, general
ly t sell ; for two-thirds of -its valye r t Hd
doubted not the creditors Ithemsel.ves will
generally )ffer two thirds of its value, and
if 'so, .thejaw would have no operation in
suspending payment. , f'y:;
: Mr. Mebane explained liis meaning.
Property, said he v ill be valued by neigh
bors at what they really ? think it wdrth,
and not what it Ijv ill sell', format ; the tinie.
Besides, if this bill niasieS; Jmbnied 'men
will never, attend sales in ; expectation of
making great bargains, and, there will be
