Mr. Editok: Will you niinvv one ot the itavertign peoplo (so called,) of this grout Democratic Republican Government, (so cfcll ed) to express an opinion, tlirougli your columns, on the subject of what id best to be done, in tbis great emergency?ill is peculiarly embnrraFfing condition?that we find ouraclvea placed in by outaide pressure, and oilier cuutea beyond our aontrol. I liavo reud ino6i of tlio speeches delivered at tlia called eepsion of the ( Legislainre. The prominent idea in all of tliem, is tlint something ought to bo done lor the re'icf of ilic people, in this gr?at crisis About what that something should be, there seems to hare be*ii ? grea*. diversity of opinion. They all admitted the existence of the evil nnd tho necesnity of a remedy, but itmsmuch as they could not agree; thoy adjourn ed without doing any thing, or proposing any lliing worth calling a remedy, for the overwhelming evils, brought upon us by the Slate and General Government, acting in conceit. The most sensible portion of them, finding the subject rather embarrassing, like all good and faithful Agents, under similar circumstance*, propose to refer the wliole subject to their principals, their employer?, tho people; which I suppose meuii", if it menus anything, that not knowing* themselves what to do, they j desire the people to tell them what they ought i to <]o. This being the cftfutruetion I put upon } the proposition to refer this eiiih:irrassir.r? enti- I jeotto the people, I hlin'l proci ed lit once to give Ihoin I lie benefit of my advice ami eouu- i ? 1. In a multitude of counsellor:} there is safe- J ty. lit llio fust place then I would ad vine the j L>'gialotuie on ne-einbling ot the regular fch- ^ tiione. inasmuch m the S>;nte Iiuh abolished i slavery and thereby deprived the people of ! three fotirtliB of their property and consequent j ly diminished their menus to that extent of pn>iig their debts, to pasa iv law, forthwith, releasing every imiu from three-fourth* of liis debts. That, tins is right and just, it d?e? seem to mo mil#' nppeir plain to the common Re'iae of every man. For llie State to deprive the people of t-he means of paying their debts to the extent of thi ee.-fourtlia ftnd then require them to pay .he whole account, dues itppenr to my mind most superlatively unjust, and absurd. Luw< to be constitutional ni;nt be uniform in their operation on the VlifTt rent, classes of society. There is no anifotmity For example my neighbor and I were I each worth twenty thousand dollars before i emancipation. Fifteen th"u!>>uid in rnch cn?e ! *?nn nojjro |.rt?j?rty, live thousand in land. Tim State hu3 deprived us of tins fifteen thousand, and live thousand is now nil that i-? left, o cither of us. I once owed a iloht of four thousand dollar? to my neighbor, which I could have paid hitn before emancipation, and have had sixteen thousand ltf?, or Iwo-thirds as much tts iny neighbor. If I am required to pay the whole amount of four thousand now, with a capital reduced tofivo thousand I will be reduecd to one thousand and tnv neighbor* raised 10 niue thousand. This inequality will he produced by the action, in other winds, by the law of South Carolina. This is obviously unjust, but let the State release me from threefourth a of my debt, and we arc placed in the same relative position that wo were before { j that is be would be worth fix Iboiuund, and I i four thousand. Tim), trnitt.l lu n..!r..... .1 ! ...... vv uimuiiu, I (J I ?? fore Constitutional ami right. Having thu* demonstrated th*?, repudiation to thip extent is jubtand right, whatever intervenes to prevent its accomplishment, is wrong, whether it he the judges or tho Constitution, and should be disregarded. I have advised repudiation to the extent of three-fourth:* to illustrate the truth and justice of the measure. Three-fourths however will not apply to all coaes. The law should be an framed, to be exactly right?that every tnon should be released from debt exactly in proportion to what he has lost by emancipation whether it bo three-fourths or one-fourth or nine-tonths. If he hae loot ull, thou ho should have the benefit of a General Bankrupt Law, which our most excellent Governor has hud I the good Benee to recommend, and which should by all means be passed. It is a wise and humane measure, and one that the exigency of the times imperatively dornnnd, I would advise the re-enaotmeot of the Stay Law as the next most important measure, to continue in foroe for at leaot twelve months. This is highly necessary, as we the people, on aeconnt of the faiture ixi the crops, have made nothing to pay debts with, thin yaar. If wo can keep from starvation, it wity bo rather more than fve expect to do, m Thero arc other matters of less importance, that I will simply call your attention to. For* example, the necessity of ueing the credit of the State, to bay corn, so as if possible, to keep the Sovereign people from starvation. It might be 9 question, however, whether starvation, under existing eircuropUiiices, would not, bo a blessing, -in- relieving us froj* the greater evila by which wb aro surrounded. That is a matter thht I shall leave entirely to your discretion. There' are important measures that I hfivo recommended for your consideration, and-{- hnvedisehniged my duty in eo doing. It trill bo seen whether you will have the good Rente to adopt any of ibem or not, I cortege that I am by bp meaua #augaine, from Vhftt I liave u<5tioad of jour proceeding* heretofore. I om fearful that yon 'don't realize our true condition. 1 nave been surprised when I hav# hoard membere of the Legislature, and others talk abort the .great resources of the 8iate,'predicting that lh? people would recover from thwa eiriU, in ft few year*. Why ihjsisno or dinary calamity, tint mao may, by industry , and eoontony, rtcover from in a.few year a. Jt is overwhelming. A perfect avalAoche of tfeaIruotion, front which tliera is bo recovery.
