We have seen in I he pnpcis that there is a hill !> fore the Legislature in Onlwnbl* I to detemiine the question whether the | Homestead is to he an exemption from exe? j en 1 ions for debts existing, or only to these ' hereafter contracted. It nppeare that WuirrER, nrhe ia justly esteemed one of the ! most clear-headed men in the Legislature, I % ami a just minded one into the hnnrain. in- ' tints tlint lh? Homestead, not exceeding j $1,000, shall not be taken for nny class of i debts. He is unquestionably right, in our , opinion. Tlic Constitution does not forbid j the States the right to control and pre- ' cribe the legal remedies for debts, by for- , bidding lows impairing the obligation of | contracts ; and there a e many legal decisions of different State*, and some of the United Slates Court, to sustain this view.? True, as was said by Chief Justice Punkix, in his decision on the Stay Law, for the la*t forty years, the ourrent of decisions lias been rather more against the rights contended for. But this is, in fact, a judicial admission, that for I lie first forty years after the Constitution was adopted, when its meaning was beet understood, and whilst its framrrs were still living, scarcely any jnige or court ever decided against the j right of the States to regulate the extont of the remedies for debts. To impair the obligation of contracts is one thing, but to say to creditors that the State will not permit you to arrest and imprison an honest debtor, or take his last cow and calf, or the home and shelter of his fnmi'y. Is a diff r ent matter; the contracts remain unimpaired, hut the States possess the right to Ray and to prescribe in what manner they shall he enforced. Tlicy must, have the power of preventing their populations from being pauperized and enslavod by the forms of law. If h rea*onnble homestead cannot be protected from execution, by the same process of reasoning, imprisonment for existing debts cannot lie abolished, yet this power lias hardly ever been disputed. One of the remedies that creditors had for their d"t>u, previous to the adoption of the pres ent State constitution, was to arrest the debtor. It might as woll lie said that hecause this remedy is taken away the obligation of the contract is impaired and tIre law is unconstitutional, as for it to he said thai because tin re was once a right to turn a family out of their cabin, and last refuge i of liomc ami shelter, that therefore the State must continue tlini remedy forever, till the deht is paid; it may be ibr twenty, or for forty years or longer; the creditor lias only to sue, get judgment, and before the end of twenty years nfter renew hi* jiulg inent. And Uiu.n this present gen* rati-n, as it if a generation of debtors, would all bo ear. ried to their gtaves, w'lhout enjoying, for themselves or their families, any assured prospect of a homo It is honibleto think of, a.id we are astonished nt the zeal and activity of ceituin people In Sooth Carol! na in opposing the liberal views of the Con atitution of tho United States, and the rights of tho States in regard to the eonlrej of legal remedies and modes of enforcing them which prevailed long after the Consti tution was adopted. One would think that those who complained so mueh of tyinnny would not insist on the most tyrannical construction ol the Constitution ; that they would not be disposed to throw away the earlier and justcr views of com ts, adopted when the Constitution was firct made, and insist exclusively on the fullest effect to later decisions, which are the natural lesull of an abuse of power that even judges are not free from?-the cankers of a calm world ?uu ?""8 pCUCC. We have but few like Sir Mathisw Balk and Chiei Jus'ice Mar.-hall, in our Bar and Bench at this time. There is a merciful side to the law, as well as a vengeful, a philosophical as well a technical, sound reason as well as modern precedent and authority. And if the better elements of law are not disregaided and more ancient precedent, likewise the Homestead will have the best of chances to survive the attacks of creditors of every class, if the Leg. \sluture docs not unwisely give way to the | uofside pressure of a few wi iters and speak ers, who do not represent M?e State or oi\?

Warmoutit, a?ks for United States Troops to be gent to that State, alleging great troubles ahead, from the conduct of Ku Kluxers, " K. W. C'b," and other rebel organizations. The Governor writes with apparent sincerity, but ho betrays the inovitaolo unfairness and malice of tho pure Northern Bsdicnl in charging murderous purposes, upon the whole population of Louisiana, who supported the South and their "Mm homes, in time of tbo war. It seems i i.'ble for a Radical of the genuine strij i v. .... or speak the truth io r^galfe to th* South, ? - ? Fashion* for Ladies. A writing for tho fashionables, it/led " Jf. jimp. Jcxr," states the fact, that at the Northern watering places this sr miner, the ladies have adopted a style of dress, and most becoming, and comfortable ; that is, unbleached linen, such as geptleincn sometimes use for pants. Another Innovation is tho introduction of reu'ly hiaile dresses for ladies Out of this Sutnncr material. The ? iino writer says as to ladies, head dressing, "There is not tho kest indication of an enlargement of tho bonnets?the hair is warn higher, the thhjHon larger than ever.

Wo have hnd the honor of reoeiving the first volume, sent us by the Publishers, and have hastily glanced over the wotk. It is a book ol g> eat uieril and worth. The reputation of Mr. S-rertiass a? a statesman, writer, and orator, is wel' known to the American people, lie is like wiee known to every one familiar with our political history, as one of the purest ami heat of patriots. 11 s name atone is sufli cient to give character and reputation to the wmk Tke first volume is devoted to the origin and nature of onr Fedeinl Government, and the causes which ltd to the war between the Slates. The style is colloquial, after the manner of Plato and Cicr.uo. Mr. SrrrrHBNS and thr>e oile r gcnilemen, .fictitious persona, are in conversation. They represent tlie various views, which have lieen taken of the American Constitution and Government, by the dilf-rent political parties in the United State* Ono of the interlocutors, at tlie beginning of the work, twits Mr SrisrnKNS with having gone for secession st tlie beginning of the war, although be was such a staunch Union man, nnd look suoh hold grounds against secession in the Georgia Convention and Legislature. Thi? brings up tlie whole doctriue of allegiance Mr. Stktukxs shows very conclusively that allegiance is due tin government making power itself, and not the Government, whioh can claim only allegiance to its laws. The enquiry thus arises?where d -es this government making power rest in the United Stale*; whether in the whole people of the United States, as one nation, or in the people of the separate Stiles as inde pendent cotntuunith r f In this quest ion is involved the origin and nature <>f our Federal Government.

The condition of tin- colonies is first considered, previous to the American ltevolution^ with their various charters?the d HVren* Unions attempted t>v the colonies | revlous to tlie revolution?how the Ucclaration of independence was made, whether by the colonies se| nrnlely or ns independent sov ereignties, or whelhct it was ini-l? iiy lie ni nb one nnitv<) people.

References nr.' made, too, t?? the decisions of the Supreme Court, the opinions of Washington, JrrfcnsoN, MahivN MosnoK, .'.\cks?i\. and olli re. After this extended discission and illus I ration, covering the greater pail of the present volume, a srinmnry is given, and the opinions of the wtiter expressed with great boldness in favor of the light of ?? cession, and in jollification of the course lie took in tho attempted revolution. Thi? revolution did not have its origin in el?very as contended by liotiAoK OptCKi.Y and others, but in the dillerent views taken by the North and thoSoiitli us to tin- nature and powers of the Federal nn 1 Stilo Governments.

We commend tit-* work to our ren'e-ST *1 Georgia United 8:atea Senators.

Georgia will certainly vo'e Di-moi eratio for President and Vice President, | that, is, for SevMocn and Blair. The intellect and morals of the universal bitter Radicals of the North, as related to the South, is debastd to the lowest savage. ism. For instance if any n>nn, or parly of men, who Ims ever heen on the Confederate side, should commit any outrage where a negro is conoerned, or so-called loyal man, white or hh<ok, should tliey be the It-naf injured or hurt by Coijft derates, even In self defence, forthwith the Rndicnl official* charge it upon the whole people of the State, and their newspapers, and preachers, and Congressmen charge the crime upon every Southern man, ns they did in the case of the N> w Orl-ans riot.
