tHE BEST BEMEDY FOB EXISTING EVILS.
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.
