[Citizens’ toast, INDEPENDENT of the Pledg ed unconflitutionality cf the law It is in the fit st place unjust in its operation between debtor Es t creditor. For whatever claim the former may have had on- the indulgent in terference of the legdlature, the lat ter certainly had aKb'their rights which ought to have been rclpedt ed. And if their honest due’ is at prsfent withheld, to the injury and perhaps to the ruin of their affairs, it is a tyrannical stretch of leglfia tive power to prevent their render ing themselves ultimately fecuie. To have prevented by feme means the epprtflive facrifice of property under execution, was what the times seemed ter require, and what we hoped and expected would be done. But to bar up the civil fide of the courts against the creditor, and allow him .nothing like an e quivalent provision—to compel him to set down a hdplefs witness of his own ruin in the prodigality ot an unprincipled debtor, was a measure the flagrant injuft ice ..of which, no circumstances could juu ifv or excuse. This law is immoral in its ten dency, • In no country more than this, is it n°ct flfary to incuicafe a spirit of pur.ctuality in the performance of pecuniary, engagements. A relax ed remiflhefs in this particular, in evitably draws down upon society, all that train of obvious evils which necessarily result from mutual dif trufl. It injures the cause of mo rality in general, but in particular it weakens those obligations of ho nor and virtue, which bind men to their individual crntrr.&s, their ge neral duties, and the imeretis of their country. How clearly is*it then the duty cf a legifiatute tc fof ter and cherifn this principle lo ho norable to our nature and so ulti mately connected with the firft in terests of our country. But what has been done ? a law has been palled which when taken with irs attendant circumstances speaks this language to the people “the price of your staple articles of produce having fallen rather lower than or dinary you are absolved from the performance of your engagements. You who owe money may by J remaining m the (Fate, and reckon ing nominal interefl: on your unli quidated dues, squander your fub liance or convey it out of the reach cf creditors, who though prefied themselves and driven to utter bankiuptcy (hall not interpose their claims to interrupt your pleasure, or disturb your repose.” That this is the fubftanrial import of the s&, we have only to appeal.to the act it ft If.
