Our Correspondents.
It Is always a pleasure to us to g;ve public!
ty to the views of correspondents upon sub1
jeets ol general interest, even whet: their viewi
conflict with our own. Tbc nicrc fact of a dif
ferenco of opinion between oursc'f and a cor
respondentia wholly Immatori >1
J "'"J
question involved it, whether a communication
of doubtful utility can be luulo to co-itributi
to the great end which all public journals shoult
have in view?that of the public good.
We publish tn this papor two qpmmunien
tioas on tho subject of "relief to debtors,'
which we fear may have the opposite effect
from that which these correspondents doubtlest
intended (the public good) by exciting rxpecta
tions which never can 1)0 realized. They wouli
revive a subject which, a* we endeavored tr
show so;ue time ago, is res a ljudicata, tin
highest Court in South Carolina having settled,
so far as our State is concerned, the question
of "old debts."
From this decision there is no appeal. The
decision ct the Court of Errors in respect tc
any law infringing the Constitution ot the State
is conclusive. Its decision in respect to a law
in supposed derogation of the Constitution o!
the United States is likewise conclusive, as tr
this State, when their decision is against ti e
law. If its decision is in favor ot the eonstt
tutionality of tho law,?if, for example, tho
Court of Errors had decided thut 'be Slav law
Wild M/i/ pontir*nu?i? f * L

United States, there might have horn an rppcAl
from its decision, by Writ of Error, to the Supreme
Cour* of tiie United States as the r.p
peltate Court of the last resort. And in such
ah uppcal, who can doabt the result, in view of
the uniform decisions of the Comt on t'uia
subject.
Neither of onr correspondents h.i^ sugg**ted
any mode by which we can get around
these decisions of the Courts; and we would
submit to th'cm, whether it is wise and profit**
bio to dwell upon the necessity for relief withi
out suggesting any lational mode by which re'
lief can be obtained. Neither have indicated
any line of policy. One of them tells us that
'old debts" will never be paid, "stay liw or no
atiiy law;" and th'c other says that indulgence
is of no advantigc to the debtor, hid we not
believe that our friends would not harbor
0cn>uiicii> .-<> iuumu !?iiv unjust and unciiristlan,
we would be tempted to chu'ge them with being
in favor of wiping out ull liabilities by some
genera! act of repudiation.
T!iat tlierc is need for some lawful and conRtitutional
measure of relief, we do not gainsay;
on the contiary, we have advocated a line ot
policy which we lind supposed would benefit
the debtor?that of indulgence. The Fditbra
of this paper can fully enter info the sympathy
expressed by a ' Farmer" for the widows and
orphans, who may be turned out of their homes
by an enforcement of the laws for the collection
?? debts. Iho subject ia one of earnest
concern and sympathy with us. And we have
likewise had occasion to feol sympathy and
compassion for a class of creditors, "widows
and orphans," who have their ail invested in
personal securities, whose debtors arc luxuriating
in the beat the land aiTnrds, tiring in
bouses and working plantations bought with
the money of the creditor, while the latter hare
only the debt which will not shcl'.er nor feed
them.
Our friends should remember that there are
two sides to this question of Relief to debtors ;
and while we would go us far as any one else
in support of a policy that would favor the
boneat debtor, we would condemn, as unworthy
and inhuman, any measure which did not have
m aonm regard for the rights of the creditor.
But we are digressing from our oiiginal d?.
sign in commencing this article. Wo only d?
aired to reiterate what we before endeavored
to demonstrate, viz : that relie!, whether in the
way of repudiation or by stay laws, is not now
within the power, either of the Legislature or
ef a State Convention ; and we hare susuinod
our pos'tir.h by facta and arguments which wo
conceive to be incontrovertible. If, howevor,
w o ar? mistaken ; or if any practical courae for
relief, ju.-t to all parties, and no'i liable to con.
etitutional di.ficult.es, can be suggested, our
correspondents will find no more earnest supporters
of *uch a mersu.e than the Editors of
this pcper
Thb Convention.

is, tbe "absolute" - inability of tbe debtor

Well, what ;b the result ? The creditor

bought probably for one fifth its real value,
the deb'or pays, it may t?e fihy cents

officers get one half of what is paid. and
the creditor is not materially benefitted.
It may ha that this <l?b'or is no more to
