The circumstances and condition of
very many poor and unfortunate debtors,
arc subjects which call aloud ior egisla-
tive interference 1t is hoped by nany
humane and benevolent persons, thar the
General Assembly, will hot pass by, as
their next session, the CONSIDERATION Of
the Law, respecting poor debtors. The
law, as il now stands, is barbarous, and
dlsgraceful to the character and present
improved condition OF Society OF this
state. That poor, unfortunate nan,
who has large family, depending ON
his daily exertions tor subsistence, should
be cast into gaol, aud deprived oi hnis1ib-
erty, perhaps Tor the contemplate sum
OF three dollars, or less, is deros atory 10
the character Of the state. The unieel-
ing creditor, has it also in his power, to
Keep the POO, debtor in .gaol, as long as
he AOeS, by paying one collar rer week,
for his board. 1t is not so in Connect.
cut and Massachusetts,. In the former
state, the creditor must pay two dollars
and fifty cents per week, for the gratif-
cation OF his inhumah disposition; in The.
latter state, there is 10 such qualification
allowed, to the iIhberal creditor. This
disgraceful trait in the character OF the
laws OF this state, Wig. the confniag Of
poor debtors in gaoI, and allowing he
creditor 10 continue him there, by PAYNE
one dollar Per week, should be reptaed,
or expunged from the laws. 1t answers
none OF the purposes of justice, to con-
fine poor man in gaol. because he can-
not pay his debts. Let the troberty Of
the debtor bc liable, to answer the exc
cution; let the debtor be held to bail. IL
you please, until judgment is rendered:
but by no means cogfne the body Of a
poor de6lor, in loathsome gaol and
thereby deprive his helpless children, Of
their only means OF procuring bread Tor
their subsistence. II there is little mercy
shewn towards poor debtors, by their
creditors; i Justices, issue Writs, ard
Constables can boast of their having onc
or two hundred of those writs. to serve,
the cost on which will often amount to
more than the demand; ! say, il such is
the case, it is time, high time, that the
legislative, should interpose in behalf Of
the poor and unfortunate debtor.

SUGAR FROM RAGS.

SUGAR FROM RAGS.
A method OF extracting sugar from
rags has lately been discovered by an
eminent French chemist. 1t would be
profitable and pleasant to many of our
neighbors to obtain the recipe. They
might then convert the bills of some of
the Eastern banks, which are now good
for nothing, to some useful purpose.
We advise the HalloWell and Augusta
directors to send immediately to Paris
for this chemist, and endeayor, if possi-
bic, to redeem some of the worthless
rags with which they have inundated the
State, and cheated the community. Ma.
ny poor honest man would be happy to
change them for sugar. But we fear
that the process these filthy rags have
undergone III the banking house, have
deprived them of any saccfarine quality
they might have possessed. and that they
arc fit for nolhing but the fire.
Insanity. On Saturday morning last,
a man by the name OF Kent, living be-
tween Little Britain and Newburgh,
hung himself, by his handkerchief, in

Revolutionary pensioner. We have
heard no particular cause assigned for
his committing this horrid deed. - Co.
