Imprisonment for DsbL--As the votes o
the Senators from this state against thC
" passage ofthe bill abolishing imprisonmen
for debt may be nisrepresented, we extrac
the following remarks from letter to th'
editor Of the Commercial Advertiser ,givn,
the true character Of that bill.
The bill proposes to establish the 7rinci
pie thattrime alone, not debt, shall rcndel
q citizen liable to the loss of his liberty
but it does not apply this principle to case,
where the government is the party plaintiff
The friends ofthe bill say that they cannot
take it upon themselves to restrict the pre-.
negatives ofthe government; that the ex-
pediency of such restriction presents dis.
tinct and important question, which they
will consider whenever it shall be brought
forward as separate and distinct measure
This may be a correct view. but it does
not meet the objection for the bill not only
does not restrict, but it enidrges the prero-
gatives ofthe government.
