1. Subscribers who do not give express no
tice to the contrary, are considered ns wishing
to continue their subscriptions.
2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of
their newspapers without settling all arreara
ges, the Publisher may continue to send them
until they are paid for.
S. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their ncwspapcrs'froin the offices to which they
are directed, they nre held responsible nntil
they hnvc settled the bills, und ordered a dis
continuance.
4. Tf subscribers remove to other places with

held responsiHle.
5. It lias been decided by fhe Courts that
subscribers refusing <• take their newspapers
from the office, or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prime facie evidence of inten

Office Department, of the neglect of a person to
take from the office newspapers addressed to

In last-week’s issue we made quite a
mistake, which we take the Iil>erly to
correct this week ; though our attention
was called to the-} error before we. had
stricken off many copies of our paper;
yet, we would not have ose of our read

position that we do. In speaking of the

The'Rxomptioa Law.
The Southern Commercial Convention
recommended to the slaveholdiug States
the enactment of a law to exempt one
slave in every family from levy and sale.
At first blush this would seemingly be
doing creditors an injustice, but on the
whole it would be a good law. In the
first place it would check the credit sts-
t«m, the thing that is ruining the world.
In the second ph*C9 it would extend the
institution of slavery, which was the
great object of the Convention in recom
mending thef passage'of such a law.

especially those of the mother! The vene
rable minister proceeded te preach an np
propriate and powerful discourse. And as
he made an occasional allusion to the depar-
ted and the manner of his death, the sym
pathies of the audiaccej responded to the
groaus and sobs of the relatives. Towards
the close of the discourse, the pTeacbeT said,
in substance—•• Only the day before he was

incendiaries and incendiary literature from
among its people, it haa been resolved by
the enemies of slavery to reach onr non-

l%ls is to be done through the Halls of Con
gress, Stole Legislatures and the public
press, with the confident belief that,ultimate
!y, the non-slavehnlding mind of the South
will be reached, enlightened and directed
thro* the ballot-box to the extinguishment
of the hated institution of negro slavery.—
-Admitting the first assumption to be true,
(*nd to some extent, it may be,) the question
for us to determine is, how can the interests
of the slave holders and the non slaveholder
be so consolidated as to destroy this assump
tion and produce, South of Mason and Dix
on's line,-* unfa There is, between these
classes of our people so every great identi

ous’.y the slaveholder bolds himself a little
above the non-slaveholder. There is a so
cial distinction, and it is useless for the
statesmen of the South to expect its conceal
ment. The safety of the South and of the
institution of slavery requires that the dis
tinction should be abolished. It can be
done, but time must do it. Southern legis
lation must be so shaped that, in the course
of a few years' the who-'e people o{ the South
must be relieJ upon to protect its institutions
or honor in any emergency.
How is it to be done ? The remedy is ea
sy—the plan simple. The laws of theSouth
must encourage every citizen to not only be

come a slaveholder from choice, he must
choose between remaining so and divesting
himself voluntarily of the value of such
slave property as he may possess. Iu short,
a law, exempting a certain number, or a
certain amount in value, of slaves from ex
ecution or sale for debt, must be enacted
