that, unless the frontier people will receive

Mr. Smith, . ■ "*
I HAVE lately obferyed, that it is not un
fashionable, through the channel ot your
Gazette, to suggest plans and to dictate systems
to the legislature of the state—Upon this
ground, I beg leave to thgew out a lew hints
for the use of that body, relating to some of
rthe objetls which will come under their, con
lideration in the ensuing fertion.; As they con
tain nothing lut what is altogether compatible •
with the policy which this ftjie has hitherto
pursued, and which flie.,flill keeps in view, I
flatter myfelfthey will be cordially received.
I am, Sir, your very humble servant,
A wealthy Bankrupt.
iff. Then, at the framing a judiciary ad
will make a very impoitaot part of their de
liberation*, let their great ohjed, in this bu
lined be, a* much ai pofflble, to protect and
feteen the dehors, who, it j« well known have
in all government! been corifwiered as the
mod mcnt&rioui put wf the community.
ti.Ut no person t>e liable , 0 t e
** ’ * ur debt, un the corutnencfmeut of 4
leu many worthy citizens, who have
>ng negieefed paying their debts, thould be
hai raffed and imprfoned.
3d. Upon the return of the writ by %hich
a fliall be commented, let the de- •
lennant have it in hi* power. tu unpaii* tu ihe
lecond term, when the/rit tria may be had—
At the. third term let the lecond trial take
place, and a tina I den (ion bd g:veu By iffig
means, (as. the court it ution admits of but two
terms no jurigme/n *an be ob- -•
tamed iaa ihouer time than between.twelve
. and eighteen months.,. Bcfides every Helen
‘ dant, ought 'o have a righi as bg/etofbre, by
giving leeuruy* to delay execution to the fit ft
of March ensuing the judgment, which will *
give, at least,- fix.inoutba more—The Sheriff
cannot be compelled to have the money teady
until.the next term alter 1 ffuing execution, so •
that a creditor will not, in any cale, be able
to recover his debt within a Ihorter period
than two years, and in many cases, not iu
)els than three years after commencing a pro
lecutiou.
‘ • * ♦ *
4 i,1 ‘ Th e times for holding the Courts -
thou Id be so regulated as to come in lucceflion, »
withm one, of each other, so that the
Jixlv-e who may ride the circuit will be un- >
at*je to attend ia any one county, throughout
t ;e whole term. %. This will make it necessary .
mat Aniftant jjuftices (hould preflde, the con
sequence of which will be that half the bud- .
nels of the term will remain undone—This
will be. a happy addition to the delay efju/tice .
sth. The jury, on the fccond trial, ihould .
he nominated by rhe panties* by which meins .
tne debtor will have his particular friends to t
decide his cacfe, and.th'e cicdiior who refldes
abroad, will not be able to chufc any but those
.whoare pcrlcft llrangers to him. ; .
Finally, Jet the Tender be continued *
on the Paper Medium, with the addition of
penalties on-those who refufe it—This will be -
a lading.fliield to the debtor—For it is evi
dent. -fiopi a very fortunate derangements
which has taken place in our finances, that ,
ftiiiliug ol it can he burnt agreeably to
the plan of the Jaft Legislature.
1 hefe hints attended to, and the objed* -
primed out by them, obtained, will lecuie
to the state of Georgia a continuation of that
happiness at home, and reputation abroad,
which llic has io long cujoyed.
