' Our Legislature, adjourned sine dir , on Tuesday last, after a session 6f little more *than Ave weeks, tftif inr Which they passed 42 public laws and 74 of a local nature. We caunot help congratulating our fellow citizens on. the passage of r an act at this session, for " the relief !<?f honest debtors"? -an aet which abolishes imprisonment for debt, and doe* onr Legislature immortal hon or. Th* sahject* it will !>e recoU let ted, has, for two successive years* bqpn recommended to the attention of the Legislature by Governor Branch, Hut it is with; difficulty that long-established usages are ab rogated, ho* v ever unjust and cruel they may be; a.ul the plating, an unfortunate debtor on a footiug with u criminal, \\ e have always consider ed both unjust and cruel, as well as tin becoming a humane and christian people. We therefore heartily re joice that the practice is abolished, and that creditors will, in future, have took aloue to their debters pro |>er!y, for satisfaction. Au hOnest man may now," in North-CaroHna at least, live without the /ear of being thrown into a prison, in case misfor tune should overtake him. N trtist that our sister States will, one <7 , - after another, follow the laudable ex-' ample thus set them, thai, through out the United States, the jierson of an honest, though unfortunate man,, may be placed out of the power of unfreling creditors. Another act provides that in future ? no sale of laud or slaves under exe- . cution shall take place but at the J court-house on the last Thursjlavjof the month, ou a notice of 401 days for land and 20 for slaves. Tins act i will prevent property froni being sa crificed for want of bidders. ? - J It is doubtful whether the act ex tending the jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace to $100, will prove bene ficial. ? It will afford a more sninma r y way to recover debts of this amount, which, income cases, may operate havdjy on debtors. The bill to prevent property being sold under execution for less than two-thirds of its value, was lost, by a few v^>tes only. It was opposed on the grouud of its unconstitutional ity, as being, in fact, a suspension law; and also as being unjust and inexpedient. * : ^ In onr last, we mentioned tliat ^ hill had been reported in the House of Commons, to compel the Ranl^a of this State to pay sj?ecie. and proiy posing, in case they failed to do so, thAt they pray 25 per cent, interest. Tliia, we have since learnt, was not correct* The hill was reported by the committee who had the subject finder consideration, in Wank, and the rrte of interest j^ontemplated, in case of failure tA p^9MF%pecie# was sixper c*nfo< The bill Wasthna til* led up whew it went to the Senate.? It was there rejected, on the ground? that a9 4he 'Banks bad lately resum ed specie payments, there was w6 necessity for a law of this kiud ; and ()esides it was alleged, that it wan perhaps best to leave the Batiks to regulate their Gwnbusincsq, far If the Legislature bore hard upon them, the.v would be under the hecessity &( hearing hard upon their debtors, which would only add to the diffi culties at present experienced from the scarcity of money.
