United States, that state insol vent laws could only have the effect to exempt the body from imprison fncrat, but not the property sabsc qnently acquired, the plaintiff took out an execution against the goods, and this was a motion on the part of the defend ant in the court, below, for relief. The question submitted to the court, and argued, at great length, ft>y the counsel on tbotli sides, was, whether the original contract, being made after the passing of the state insolvent law, vas not made with ao implied reference to it as ode of the existing laws of, the state, and sub* ject to be controlled by it accordingly? The court was of opinion in tlie af firmative, and ordered the execution to be discharged. * Another question of scarcely less interest, was argued by the same counsel, viz: w bat woukl be the law in a case wlteia Hie debt was contracted previous to the insolvent act; but on this no opinion was given.

There appears to have bean little or no resistance, and a government had already been established satisfactory to the citiaeus generally, under a General Lopez. The opinion gen erally prevalent at Puerto Bello, was that Chagres would also (all in to the bands of the Independents; and that Sir Gregor was in expecta Jion of news from Lord Cochrane >n the otlier side of the Isthmus with r considerable fleet to encourage a movement to Panama." To :hf Editor the Camden Gczetlr. Sir ;?I cannot t^iarge the Para>-;raphist in the Southern Patriot with ingenuousness; nor its Editor with fairness of conduct. It appears 1 have npt the imprimatur of certain great men, for the admission of my reply ; but, an answer not of the mild est character, is ^iven and my meaning mistatcd. But still 1 do not yeild, I still maintain the fallibility of the public officer, as well us the public right to investigate his conduct/ and, if the investigation should appear correct, to enquire into his motives. The K$ginc?rs uzeat~&c;"^ I did not impugn; but, as to the assertion, of his having M fulfilled the intention of the] Legislative*" I am still a heretic, and, not the only one in thi? District. Ik He isi expressly directed to open the Broad and Saluda Rivers hut when ? not before the, river below was in such a state as to se cure a fair passage to Charleston, for the commerce brought to Columbia by sUCh an opening. V also dissent from the opinion, that the public is so extremely well satis fied with arrattgemenie, that, tor 2 or 3 months after the publie money Was voted* suffered the apportunity, offered by the lowest river ever known, to be lost, and 1 jm in doing what ? in cutting canals in the\ centre of the State? And canals which; 14 when completed/' according to Major Wilson's own lettor, addressed to His Ex-' celloncy the Gov o( the Sta'e on the 16th <>f M arch,<# would render the Saluda r?avi*j ?able for(only)20m>Yr#." I did not wish anv Consultation to be had with cither A.*Or B* but 1 hoped that common sense might have been consulted, a due use made of the first and most efficacious me^ns within reach, and then all would have been eemmc it fuut? It was generally understood that flie operations were to commence at this (the Jraluda) point." ' From this assertion I dissent. No such understanding existed in this neighbourhood; uor has any mem ber of the Legislature been heard to say that such wns his impression. It fnay have been understood l>y the Columbians or by the Loungers indie Lobby of the H* R.; but, even in tltose circles, the under standing must have sprung from the re presentations of a mind too sanguine as to the time and expence necessary to the completion of public works?a fault too common among professional men, and men of the greatest latent*. If the C itizens of Charleston are satis fied, it is well; but, really this satisfaction docs not^ extent as for as the Wat^ree.
