CO.EMUA ICITION.

-
Much has been said, and, much is ex.
pecled from the Honorable General AS
srnbly, at their present session; to be
done for the relief OF poor debtors. Ii is
high time that the Representatives oi The
people, of this state, should turn their at
iention to the unhappy, nay wretched
condition of many of their iellow-ci,izens.
The barbarous law, which gives the un-
feeling creditor, the power Of keeping an
unfortunate neighbor, confined in loa,h-
some prison, by paying one dollar per
week, shonld be repealed This IS not
all; the poor man. who has family,
ought to be allowed a certain amount, as
in Massachusetts, and Connec,icu:,> o.
l,gniturc, &c. to enable him to keep
home. Tx present law, allow one bed,
TO family, numerous or otherwise. "A
commentary on Mls tayf OF thr las,
would not produce very pleasant sensa-
ticns. II night appear to have an i'm
moral Tendency, by seeming to autl,orizc
inccstuous habits. Were | one of the
General Assembly, would vote in favor
of a law, which should entirely exempt
the body of a poor man from confnemesi
in jail for debt. ] would cause The exc
culion oruu against the properly wherev.
er it could be forward. But, lwouh by
all means leave the snf vtun0te father,
Ola family at perfect liberty, 10 procure
for his helpless children, as man, OF the
nccessaries Of life, us his industry and op.
portunl,ies will allow.

POOR PRISONERS,


A correspondent, whose favor is too long

Honorable General Assembly will, as
their Presert session, either repeal or SD
modify and amend the ac, fo, Me relief
Of poor prisoners for Iebf, that it shall not
be in the power OF creditors, by leaving
dollar a week, to keep unfortunate
debtors in prison after they have taken
the poor prisoners oath, and have been

debtCts thus kept in gaol on this paltry
allowance. as being very wretchcd-that
twill only furnish one scan,y meal in
twenty -four heurs--obliges them to lie
on the bare floor, in loa,hsome apart. ;
ments, and subjects them to constant
privations and misery, from which those
who are confined for the commission Of
crimes. are exempt. He refers TO the
laws Of Massachusetts and OF the United
States, as being more Ienient in this
particular, and hopes, for the honor Of
our State, and for the cause OF humanity.
that our enlightened legislature will
frame an act that shall put il out Of the
power Of a hard hearted, inexorable cred.
i'or, TO oppress. to in,mn!e and keep in
prison his ncighbor, because he is poor
and unable to pay his debts.

EsHE publishers in Offering the above work
Il to an enlightened ami discriminating
public, feel confident of receiving that en-
enlargement which has hitherto been so Ii.
berally bestowed upon all productions of me-
rlt. Among the many orators who have dis
played their eloqueDce at the bar, both in
America and in Europe, none have been
more successful in touching the finest feel
ings Of the hear, anC exciting the noblest
passions oil the soul, than Mr. Phillips. His
speeches are replete with metaphor, and
possess. in great degree all that telicitous
copiousness Of which the English language
is so susceptible. His euogium on tie i'm
mortal WASHINGTON. is OF itself master
piece of eloquence. In his character OF Bo-
noparte, he paints the actions OF that won
derlul parsonage in language at once sub
lime and imposing with all the chasteness
and precision Of an historian, he recapitu-
lates his movements from the cradle to the
camp--trom the camp 10 the thTone--and
lastly from the elevated station OF all en-
peror to that of an exile and caplive-there
by confirming truth, that power unsupport-
ed by virtue is liable to w!her and decay
His speeches On the various Grim. Con. Ca
ses, will be read with lively interest by all
classes of readers and the citizens Of this
republic, may, while perusing the inmorali-
ties and vices Of Europeans, rejoice that in
this country such a crime is almost unknown.
Ills speeches on the Emancipation of the
Roman Catholics Of Ireland, need no com.
ment-they speak for themselves-and I'M
fold to mankind the history ola class of men,
who, although denied many political and CT
vii privileges, have always been known to
be the friends of their country in times OF
danger and in battle.-The American reader
must view with Indignation the various OPP
pressions under which great portion of that
gallant and patriotic people at present labor
and ages yet unborn" will lament the ex-
istence of a code which prevents man from
worshipng his Creator according to the die
tates OF his own conscience.
The publishers, therefore, feeling ANNA
ted by desire 10 present to the American
public, specimens of sublime and chaste elo-
quence, which has been so often exerted in
the cause of benevolence and the noblest
rights OF human nature, with respectful diff
hlence invite the patronage Of all classes
who are interested in the display of national
social, and forensic oraiOry.
