In room nf Co!. J. Foftcr resigned, Thall. '
rus Beall ctq. has been clewed in Columbia
county.
Mr. Chronicle .
IT is very b ird that, we Brothert,, can. i
p(?{ even in religion or morals I If I
m rightly informed, mjr very, perhaps over
jralous adversary has challenged yourappren.
nee on Saturday morning lad and wanted to
[enow or nmr.p ont of him, wh*', I Cant,
well arul This certainly would not have
placed his Reverence in an eafior or more
convenient frr.r, than ha is in at present—-
finely he might ha A recollect'd, if he h-aa
«.t any br P lks, that he sent me to Hdl a
lew Sunda) ’s age, where he might fioppefe
he would fine toe at flipper with his* friend
ami ally, for I take it no one can cr v.i'.l )
hard over another to a fovercign power with,
wit feme fierce imderft ending he tween the
parti*s : this is illujlrated in the case of
fhc Irish feme \ cars back, .:n being t ransfer,
cc, by that great, pious, magnanimous and
fnpient king o England Nebucadnczzer, to
his dear and beloved brother the king of
Pii.ffia.
Mr. Chronicle, I under ft and that an ?p
-prtntice is Inoft folimnly bound to keep Ins
mafier's Ircreu, obey his lawful orders &c.
Any man therefore, who publicly or private
ly, taenffers with him and dcfircs to ccaxont
his ferrets, if any he (hould have, is a bsfe
man and an ugly chriilian—he has no: the
fear nt god he:ere his eyes-—he violates a
sacred obligation, andTcts moral duties as
defiance ; he who cracks one commandment
breaks through the whole—if this be not
found doctrine I give up—but I have not
■one yet.
I am informer, for the faint docs not come
to hoar me, and to tel! the truth, very f, 1.
dam da 1 go to hear the faint (chough Bro
thers) (hat he denounce# iheatrtcal amitfe.
ibents ! —no doubt from his in
timacy with his in— almajefty he mult know
bctier than 1 Can pretend to do ; far I am
rot in the ferrets of the Cabinet cf S*. Cloud,
nor do I pretend to know any thing that is
paffiog beyond thcfurf?cc of tins little globe,
that we are rolling and fUy'm* on for a few
days and nfhls.
Bat, Mr. Chronicle, let us fee for a mo
ment, whether, the fir ft or the Lrt—the A
postles or the Priests of the present day are
the better chriftians. Oprn the new Tclb
m;nt end read ir from to (he end,
and tell me then if yon have, fated a paflage
verleot line again# Theatrical Amufcmcnis,
In those day*, ami during many centuries
before our Lord and Saviour cam; into the
wbtld, Plays, Tragedies, and Farces, by
the mofl celebrated authors, were in vogue,
in Greece, Rome, and Italy, and we do
n-'t find that a single Apoftlc or Disciple, in
their pcrigrir.at ions fhto ami fro—in afi their
steal and preachings—in ail their Apostolic
Jove for the reformation of a corrupt, idol
ttroos k superstitious world, evrr expressed

/‘Tell tre then, Mr. Chrtnic’e, are those

for the CHRONICLE.
I.eiter to a friend tn the State of . |
YOU have no doubt been informed of
what the L;g>llai<irc ofth»«ftate have done,
I allide to the entire suspension o! law. We
wied not here qaeftion the conftiuuior.ality
t f the raeafurc. We necd'not aik whether
ic impairs the “obligation of contracts” is
export fifty &c,” a comparison of ir with
taeconftiuuion at once proclaims the tfnfrccr.
4 n *ed not stlk if the Ivmefl creditor's fc-
CUflt y •* prefer ed or dclhoved, that quT
tsan is nt once answered by the law prahibi.
’tag the iffaing of civil procciT.s and abridg.
t’/'i s he attachment Law. But a feri m quef
tma now prefeats iffclf.—What ought the
Legislature to do ? Ought they to ic
the suspension law ? Certainly, ifir
I ’’heft, adopt it again. Has it the viitne of
j a Trice to the citizen r. ho deserves
1 \ it fecarc the unoffending credit.
p t in hi* debt,, or give him the lead chance
I , f fecutitv ? If yea it is a good law.. Or
1 tc atford to the diflioneft :;n opportuni
; "y of efeaping from jufticc, to the debtor
| chance of Joofing ihe payment of h>s jad
“t' f » iofhe con tracing of which he recciv
*d property, f or which his creditor toiled
Sf'lfweated. If yet, it ii a bad law. 1
.J gteit objeft ol law is the fccurity of
"* creditor. How at this time of embar-
E-and commercial suspension is ibis object to
I e «ffLitcd. I should propose
that tha present law be repealed in
; tot®, r
Second, that the judiciary fvftem b; al
. *od that fach bs fuff wed to go on as
B wl to jadg nint w ith a ft.iy of execution
?^c usual requintes, nine, twelve, or
months, or months, after
‘‘ J - of the endnrgo, as the af|>cfl of
I r -iWKi and the wild am of the Legislature
may authorize—
Third, that jjdgmznt be faffsrei to b«
obtained and execution issue „f U al ap( i
tnar property be liable to Ire fold at or i
ot what it (ball be valued at, and in case it
cees not produce that price on the dav of Talc
be fubjcfl to be taken by the plaintiff in ex
ccution at that valuation or be replevied by
the defendant with a (lay of execution with
the usual r«juifites, nine.- twelve or eighteen
months, or months after rising the em
bargo—Or——
hourth, that law Ire fuiTered to have its
former aeon Homed operation.
By the firft ol these proposed meafores an
ahfurd and contemptible law will ct.t4« to
! exit.
B * th? facond although the creditor will
not have the power of collecting his debt im
mediately, he well Lc fecuiedin its future
colleftion.
B y the th ird, the cecditor will either re
ceive h«s debts in tnony or property, or have
it Ic cured to him by a repliyy with the ne
cells ry fecuriiv See,
By the fourth, law will resort to its old
ccuife, to which every man is accustomed,
find by which every man can obtain redrtfs
for an injury done him.
Toe fitft will I apprehend b; opposed by
those rtr.ly who are much in debt, and who
have no debts owing to them. This dafs of
men will be influenced by abftrnded and not
by the general interest, No rational man
can fhir k that the innocent creditor or fuf.
serer fhoulcl be fucrificed to the. times in the
production of which he had no agency and
the unjust and injnring party be protected.
Which ought to Pe facrificed, if cithermuft
be, the innocent or the guilty—the debtor
becaiife he had not it hone ft ly to pay, or the /
creditor because he trusted him through gene,
rest tv, cr in the usual course of trade f
The second may pa ihaps be opposed upon
the ground, that it will encourage la* foils,
that every creditor will eadcavor to obtain
the fir!] claim on th e property of his debtor,
be judgment, and that fails will, indiferim
/ inattiy | e instituted, Because (he foi%
will be pietry generally I,Tough I the credit
or mull trt thrown into a Bate of insecurity,
and the debtor have a chance of evadlrp eu.
tirely the payment of his debt ? A fine per
version of jr.fiice.
The third will he opposed upon the ground
that (he appraiicrs will be faliibie and fuhjeft
to corruption and that a “ poor debtors pro
perty will be facrificed, to bribery and die
anety or that in a (hort time a great many
will ho aim oft bereft of property ncceflary
to ease or fubfiftaocej and that there will be
“old puling and hauling.” I
Ccmmcrcial fufpenfinn will not restrain
the natural fertility of the earth, the pro.
duflion of cotton &cr as usual, if their cot
ton ran he made as usual it can as well as
other property be fubjrftcd to appraifnunt
and the fatisfadion of debts, or be replevid
as proposed above. If debtors have cotton
lying by them,, it can very well anfwet rhe
purpose proposed. If they have imdc eftt
ton, fold it and spent the money, or will
not fell or barter it towards the payment of
the debts, they deserve to fuft’ec all the evils
which the meaftire can indief, as to the cor
ruption of the appraisers, let example an
swer, the mode has been tried in Virginia,
and no man complained of corruption, why
can it not be tried here, arc we more diflio
r.eil than the people of Virgia ? 1 Ihould be
firry to think we were a set of knaves and
i villains Sec,
The fourth upon the ground that it would
open an overwhelming “ (luce” to the dc
ftruction of every body.
At least fare one of thrfc mctfurcs must
be adopted, fiippofcd the prcTenf Irw is con
tinued, how long before the Federal Courts
will begin their operations on the citizen? of
Georgia. The Federal cootls will have
judgment and executiotf, while the State
Courts deny them. Creditors who hold pa
pers will endorse; them out of the (late and
obtain judgment and execution in the Fede
-1 ral courts, wft i\e inch mav be the firuaiion
of the dvbtor, (hat he cannot get rise
debts due him into the F dcrai courts—he
uoty have no papers to endorse he will not
have the power of recovering damages for
violations ofpetlon or property, his due on
open accounts «sec. he will then he compel-
Fd to pay, wlide be has no law compelling
others to pay biai&c.
