‘ S lIV re aj - two capital faults in our l;uv with
relation to civil debts. One is, that every man
13 P reuim eu fid vent. A presumption, in innu
mcrablc catb, direffy again ft truth. Therefore
the debtor is ordered, on a fuppofnin of ability
! and fi and, to be coerced his liberty until he make
payment. By this means, in all cases of civil in
! Givency without a pardon from his creditors, he
is to be impnfoned for life ;_and thus a mifera.
ble mistaken invention of artificial science opera
te? to change a civil into a criminal judgement,
and to fcotirge misfortune or indricretibn with a
punmunent which the law does not inflift on the

“ -Hie next t .tilt is, that the infliefing of that
pumfliment is rot on the opinion of an equal and
public judge ; hut is referred to the arbitrary dis
cretion of a private, nay, interested, irritated in
dividual. Ile who formerly is, and ought to be
the judge, is in reality no more than ministerial, a
mere executive inllniment of a private man, who
sat o ce judge and party. Every idea of judi
-i. 1 order is subverted by this procedure. If th ‘
iuiolvency be no crime, why is it pu .ithed with
arbitrary imprisonment ? If it be a crime, why is

Mr. Irvine —Many of our cH*

as ibe Americans pol Els thi* upper

a6per hand. The Kentucki ns could
dislodge any force from Now Orleans,
come when they may. For so rapid
and irrettfhjjle is the current of that
immense liver, that a defeending force
has every advantage of an amending
