,ber of yvoes Will be oither 297 or
gr o, take a thousand dollars of A's
money, and give it to B., to console
him for the loss-of his wife or of, alas I
alas! his negro. To rob Peter to con.
solo Paul, shows a kind heart perhaps
-Paul at loast mill think and say hr,
-and considerablo sympathy, coin
passion, charity, love, and other vir
tuous affTctions-for -Paul; but if Po
ter don't feel revolutionary at least, 'if
not positively rebellious, he isn't the
man wo havo always supposed him.
And yet this is exactly the working of
1 retrospective frilostend exclmption
act. It give.; to tho debtor plroperby
which belongs t( tlie prelitor, un11der
existing laws, anld 11.akcs the oreditor
no coin pensat ( ion. It is simple robb
ry, jiustilied by benle vtl mce. Just so,
if we are not mistaken, Overy thief
justifies his conduct on the prinlciplo
that charity begins at, home. "Am I
not 'bungry ?' says he, '4Isut my
wife ntarving and141 compolled to do me
nial work ? Won't I be emarrassed,
if I continue honest ? Tihe laws were
never made for a poor man, but al.
vnys favor thf. rich, heartless, &c.,
&c." And ,o he steals.
Now it' sympathy for X*s losses
whether of child, wife, or More seri
ons yet, negro, is to just i*y the '1Lgis

It is, indeed, aiasing how pecunia
ry distress will becloud the mind of a
sufferer, and darken (lie veiy first,
principles of morality. The ridicut.

would be a ricl ti-atto a lanter who
had just. dinled oin ham and turkey and
drank his wine, btI to -one whi) is conr

of a querulous wife acroms a table

Let charity to sulorers, at the
expense of otI'ers, or expediency irro

Iot siiply justice, equ1al jiustice to
each and all, lie onceo adopted as the

thtan atiother, one mant, andt one class
more bitrdened ian aiiother, and1( all
uipont the most plausible pretexts.
Much more money will be raised than
necessary, lbtoanse5 it is, int their own
op~'lon, benev~olent to support the of
fioers of the governmecnt. Jobs will
be undertaken, bcecause they .ought to~
be done, andt ought to lie hand(soimely

We wait for act nuimaber twa
We pul.->h in to-days issuio a comn
municat ion which gives uts Law on
the subjoet of HIomiestead exemption,
and propose to give onr veadors wo
rulily oni the samic. The tLegislaturo
pro. teim. has, however, already passed
an act exompting a homnestead to theo
value of a thtousanid dollars to be mneas
tured off or othoerwise dtcetnuined by
three appraisers, one appointed by the
debtory one by the creditory anid tthe
third solooted by thiese two appraisers,
so alppoinitedl, Though thme bill, as
passed, is indistinct on the subject,
it is understood to apply t.o past and
exstitg jutdgn,ents and debts, and in
the case of a dhebtor owning no land,
but simply a house or store, itb is uns
deratcod that the l,peira;or, can seti
it, and pay over to the dlebtor a thtOus
and dollars, the roimainider of the pro
ceds of the sale to go to the oroditor.
The effoet of this law if. th'o courte
lot it annd, will be to swindle-erodi
tors ithroughtout tha State out of. fromt
one to two bhoush~nd dollars (for we
know how the appraisers will act) for

fho strength of the Domooratio
ticket is thus ably set forth by the
New York WYor/d. It describes the
W01i(111r.ful ei 1tsismi81 vlich atteIded
the nominfations, and says :
'1ni he first place, then, Horatio Sey.
miour is, beyomd ill question or con
test, the first stattesman in ti I)Cmo
oratic part-y----the one who nost fully
represents its princ iples, who has the
most consuitonmato ability to expound
them with luninous cniiess, whose
mind is the broadest, whose culture Is
the most thorough, whose. digility of*
clarc111ter and bearing is )(!St fittled to
adornt a great station, and to Imlagify
evon the high oflio fer whicl 40 liohs
been nominatcd. le possesses, ina
pre-eminent degree, every )ersoal
(ualiflatiun and accomplishment.
which befit the Chief lagi:strate of.
a great nation.
In the next place, MIr. Seymoir has
P strong grasp of the questions which
relate to tho resuscitation of the shut
tered prospority of the country, and
tho ini i teniineo of the finlancial honr,
of the couitry-that is to say, of the
questions wiclulh will chioly occupy at.
tention Itring the iext Presidentiail
term. Onl thpse (Iestions lie has
very distinot and very doci(led opin
ions.; opinions not caught ip of' I
sudden to serve an eleutionlenrill.,
turn, but deliborately formed after it
large survey of the subject. Those
opinions have been often proclaimed
and are weil k(nown ; they are
fuch opinions as compel the assent andI
extort the approval of honiest aud en
lightoned political oppolents. II i.
election would establish con fidnce,
both at hoeio and abroad, in tlm finian
cial ioor of the country, and settle
that confidenlco onl tim firmest louida
,ion. 13Y nominating him, the Demo
cratio party has opened the way to a
8011d currency, to the revival of inl
dustry, to the redution of L,axationl, to
IL ch1anlgO in 1lhe forItm of a nI a1.tionil
debt by now loans at t greatly redn
ed intorest., and taxable it them. Satlle
rato as other destiriptions of' property.
Again : ir. Svymtour hias always
been so conlsistelnt atlI thorough a
Dmllocrat, and his popilatri-ty and in.
fluenco inl the paty are so uilbounded,
that he alone possesses the mioral
weight requisito for adopting the poli
cy of the party it) tho altered ciremill
stances of the country. No secondary
statesman could act with tlie authori
ty and indepondene which i are tieed
ed to engineer the .gover It i1 t in thle
face of a hostile Senato and in the
now conditioni of things which Iresults
froni tho overthrow or tho re.ilar
Stato (lovernments of tle South.
'The ship of Stato is to be piloted
through difficult and obstructed chan
nols, and it will need no mnall degroo
of political courage to iike suclh Col.
cessionls as lay bo liecessary for so
criulnoiits of the South, ill an atteitpt
to -rostablish the stipre iacy of the
Constitution. It is precisely ill thii
relation that Mr. Seymour wvill be a
far stronger President than Chief Jus
fice Chase could havo 1olon. Th e Chief
JUstice would ha'e been regarded
by the Senate as a renegade, an1d 4 dis

015. Whatever' ho yields the Senate
will regard as of grace, anid Ito will re
ceive the full endorsetment of' the I)e
.mocr'atic par'ty, becatuso no inemtber of
it will suspect himi of' lurk ing patrtiali..

03'. JHo can do aill which J udge Chase
could have done), anud Canl (1o it with
moral authority atnd a fultiess of
Demnocratio sup)port whichi Mr. Chase
could never have commianded. What
ever ho may concede will be accepted
as a coneessioni to necessity, and( not
acouted as the indulgence of a par
tiality for negr'o suflfrage or for any of
the Radical heresies.
The Poisono IPIil.
Th'le Liegislatuira pro. tomi. hias as the
first fru.its of' its labors, pas.cod1 a r'etiro
speetive HIomestead exomtptio n01 ot.
Its object is to conciliate dishonost
debtors throughout the State, and al
though the courts will undoubtedly
foil the game, and disappoit the ox.
peotations of those who, like the
Apothecary in Rlomeo and .Julict, when
dealing in aenio, wvill salve their
conlsiences by saying, "mly poverty,
not mIy will, consents," it may still be
useful to describe the qualities of the
poison in this sugared pill. It is of'
the most deadly species. It lhas be
fore this, impoverished empires and
dlronched fatir States in blood.
MeIn in society hold their proper'ty
uindor the law. Unless their title is a
good legal title, they hioldI their p)ro.
porty by the precarious tenure of
chance or transient force. Whtatevecr
property then, any man in the State
owns, lhe owns by virtue of bori laws.
Now noav laws it is a settlod principle
of justico, should apply eqtually to all.
The Legislaturo cannot justly tax A.
to the extent.of one-half of his Income,
and 1. to the extent of only one.-tonith,
but inust tax A. and 11. alike. Nor
can the Legislature, because B., has
host bia wife, or what seems n~ow.to be
Considered a severer ailliotion, his no-.
port or a,Jpast acquiesenso of th'o
rarmers of the State .who are in debt. 'l
In Edgefiold, whore Ex Gov. Pickens

We cannot see, why the ILegislatdre

land and nmiey that b'bongs, under

Tliis nwamuro-aims -a .blow at -tie
morals of our State, for which no ma- c

will lead, if suestaad, to otlibr agra
