ent session, or even at the next session, of
Congress. There must be radical change
IN the composition of the House of Rcpresen-
tatives-such one as there is little reason to
expect at present-before the subject can be
revived, with any hope of result different
rom that which has now taken place. There
is hut little probability, ii appears to us, orthe
passage of any law of bankruptcy, that can
be OF use to the present generation of men.
we see no remedy for this, but in AN "a
mendment of the Constitution, restoring to
the states, respectively, the powers in this res
pect which they possessed before the adoption
| Of that Constitution or. if this be- denied, in
! the passage, by Congress and by every state
| IN the Union, of laws abolshing imprisonment
OF Inc body for any thing but fraud or breach
OF the peace, and providing for the security
OF the creditor against the favortisin of the
debtor &c. (.Nnf bH.
