PHILADELPHIA COUVKHTIOH?JUOVBS 07 OUR DELEGATES. ^Ve had -the pWatore daring-tho past #4ek t bf wetamHing bock our delegate* to the Philadelphia Convention, Judge Wardljnr and Gen. McGowan, and of receiving from their liu dilional confirmfttion of our previous impressions 'of the eminent success of .the lale Con cntion?its ability and high character, the - cordial reception extended to the 8oilthern delegate*, .the unanimity And harmony which characterized the proceeding*, the ^patriotic, and wise conservatism of its action;' end tho cheering hopes of its ultimate success. Tlie Convention was bne of the roost remarkable political bodies which has ever assembled on the continent, distinguished alike for the ability, character, and 'official position of its members. . Representing erery seotion of the country an<3 ojlof its great interests,kit embodied its collected wisdom and patriotism, and in the names of Doolittle, Dix, Cowftn, Black, Rauial), Browning, Winthrop.'nnd Raymond, furnished a" guarantee that party schemes and flecticnal interests Were controlled by considerations of national policy. * Nothing could hove boon more cordial f,han tiie reception extended to the Southern dalegates?whatjfVc-r may Lave been the motive? whether selfish or patriotic?it matters but JjltLc. They vrcro welcomed as brother*, standing upon a common platform, battling for a common cause, and reeking aljko the overthrow of Radicalism, which threatens to involve as alllu one common ruin. Animated by the same hopes, and impel'ed by the same fears' the delegates from South Carolina and Massachusetts. Pennsylvania atd Ohio, cordially fraternized in the advancement of common interests. r 'V. The proceedings were characterized by remarkable unanimity and harmony.

IV HUJIISb Hie | opposing right* of debtor and creditor, and at | the same timo avoid l',e constitutional difficulty I is tho vexed question. A writer in the Char- j leston offers tho following solution: My purpose is to suggest a mode of relief for debtor*?that ic tuasi relief; nothing short of aii actual rcpuomiion or payment ol tho debt will afford the sort of relief debtors need?und that mode is as follows: To begin with, and by way of avoiding nil constitutional objections, leave the present remedies where they stand ; next, by way of inducing the creditor to accept tho ntw remedy now to be provided, let bim have a lien upon his debtors property from the day of tho commencement of the suit; let tho notion he brought uotnmnrily by petition, ns in tho pres- j ?nt process?jurisdiction, of course, allowing i appearance and defence as now?the lien, as | weiutv ouggciieu, uoiy 10 do gooa id ease ot recovery; and. finally, stay the execution of final process on the annual payment of twenty-five per ceot. Here is n *tay-law, it seem* to me, equally as fair to the debtor as the Into law, and much more eo to tbo creditor, for it gives him an immediate lien, and which is entirely free from any constitutional ohjoction, it being left entirely voluntary for n creditor to accept it or not> and yet wo arranged as in most cases to induce him to accept it.

It is impairing "the obligation of contracts" to stay all processes from the Court for the collection of debt, but a there no violence done when nine-tenths of tbe debtor's property is taken oway, which he possessed at the time, and upon the faith of which ha made the contract. If the organic law is violated in the one instance, it certainly ia in tbe other. If it i? unlawful to depriva the creditor of Uia nieana of collccting his debts by suit, it is equally unlawful to damand of tbe debtor payment when the very means with which to pay have been taken away and anationed by tBe same law.
