United States responded to the call; bat
from causes that could not be removed,
the bill did moi become law. The pros
pect OF favorable action of Congress is
now so remote, as to induce the citizens
Of this state to apply directly to their own
representatives in the State Legislature, for
such acts as shall restore to the unfortun-
ate their rights and privileges. as free
citizens of an enlightened Republic.
Your memorialists ask you to grant to
honest, unfortunate insolvents the right to
use, unmolested, their character for integ
rity, capacity and industry for the accu-
mutation of property, after they shall have
faithfully surrendered, by assignment, all
their property for the benefit oftheir cred
ltors. To secure this right more efectu-
ally, your memorialisls pray that you will
declare by law that all property subse-
quently acquired by such estinsolvents,
shall be exempt from execution or other
process of law, issued for the payment of
any debts contracted prior 10 an assign
ment made, after the passage of the law
prayed for.
This law will be humane. just and ex-
pedient-it will protect the honest, unfor-
tunate man in the avails of his industry,
as effectually as . bankrupt law, and will
be subject at all times to the action of the
State Legislature.
That this remedy for existing intolera-
Bile oppressive grievances will be constitu-
tional, we have the authority of innumer-
able decisions of the Courts of every State
in the Union, as we are assured that there
is no State that has not by law exempted
certain property from execution. Some
have exempted a small amount of house
hold furniture and apparel others have
allowed the debtor to reserve his real es-
tate and slaves; and all have acted upon
the conviction that the public good requires
such an interference by the Legislature
for the protection of the citizens.
Your memorialists believe that ifthe prin-
ciple of exemption be right, when applied
to property in possession, it must be right
inducement to unfortunate men, to pursue
course Of patient, honorable industry to
accumulate property. .s.z
The law asked for by your memorial
lists will stimulate to virtuous courses-it
will revive hope in the bosoms of thou
sands who are now in despair. and bring
into active, profitable and honorable com.
position mass of intelligent, industrious
men, who will do much to increase the
wealth, resources and character Of oul
state.
Your memorialists will ever pray.
