next election between liim and Generall '
Harrison. Looking upon the latter gen- j ber
t *tleman as the representative of Federal Caj
I principles, in the present contest, and me
knowing that he has never been identified ! mo
with the republican party in any of its eve
great struggles against the influencesj
which have been calculated to take power j
from the States, and give it to the General, us
Government; to suppose that I would for I nei
a mnmoni think of piving my support to ! dcr
such an individual as a candidate for thelCoi
Presidency would be a mockery of all pub- j of
lie principle. ' tcc;
In respect to the statements which have roc
been made in several of the newspapers 'pot
k of the day, that 1 disagree with many ofj I
A my political friends in the estimate theyjiyi
|A. have formed of General Harrison's milita-1 trci
W ry merits, I am not aware of having said J Tin
P? any thing to justify them. Having never icel
admired General Hairison as a military ! for
man, or considered him possessing the I wli
qualities which constitute the commander I
of an army, I have looked at his political j ]
relations alone in the opinions I have paj
formed or expressed respecting his pre-! ran
tensions to the Presidency, and the conse- <jcs
quences which would result to the coun-:f?i?
clionlil ihe suffrages of the people :0f
place him in that high office. erc
I am respectfully,

- TIIE BANKRUPT BILL. a"
til
We regret to learn that the Bankrupt bill, which
passed the Senate af or so Jong, and so severe, a Pa
struggle received its quietus in the House of Reprcsentatives
on the 7th inst. It was read twice as
a Senate bill, and on motion of Mr. Pickens laid on pn
the table, by a vote of 101 yeas, to 89 nays. Mr. cll<
P. gave as a reason for this course with the bill, the
want of time to givo it that consideration which so Spt
important a subject demand, d, and as tho bill was wf
not to go into operation till next February, immediate
action was the less necessary. The whole Soutli m(
Carolina delegation with the exception of Mr. But- ed
ler, who was absent, voted for laying the bill on p.j
tic table. : wj
We have, during the whole discussion of this
hill learud this result, and wc should feel less con- I
ccrn on the subject, if wo did not believe that want'
of time was not the true reason for giving this imno
portaut measure the go by. Many of the members
are opposed to it altogothor, and if any mode could , .
be adopted to got rid of it, without coming out in a
direct opposition, it would be resorted to. For _
ourselves, notwithstanding tho decisive vote, by ' 1
which it has been disposed of for tho present, our j
opinions remain unchanged not only as to the power,1 Pu
but the expediency of immcdiato legislation on the C*C
subject. mc
Tim nnrrnst linrlv wlllr.ll framed tlio constitution I Qril
of the United States, gave no power to legislate j ha<
expressly upon particular subjects, which they would i Ba
' not have acted upon themselves, had they bcon dc<
callod on to carry out tho provisions of the conslitu-! cui
tion. j jsti
Wo look upon the enactment of some uniform
system of Bankruptcy, as important, apart from the j
consideration of its humano provisions in e tabling lion- i
est, and unfortunate debtors, to release themselves j
from their obligations, so that they may again, un- J j- ,
trammelled, give their energies to business, and let
thoir country havo tlie benefit of their talents, en- r!
tof-prize and industry. It is of the utmost conse- S7'
quencc, in an extended country like ours, which is
day by day, assuming more and more of a commercial
character, that wo should have uniform laws
defining distinctly the obligations of debtor and
creditor. The insolvent laws of the various States,
all of which, partake more or less of tho charactor res
of Bankrupt laws, vary the relation of debtor & cro- est
ditor precisely into as many different phases as tlioro the
are States. Considering therefore the commercial He
character of the country without regard to the effects hai
of the law upon contracts already existing, it is an orii
important subject for legislation, which requires j

generally know of the insolvent or Bankrupt laws I
of the different States? There aro few of our law- ]
yers even, who can tell any thing about them, other .
than in the Stato in whicli they practice. It is therefqre
necessary, as the constitution expressly gives
the power, that Congress should without delay exer- (
