IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.

The notice Of Mr.. Vests speech this subject
has led " 10 inquire Why our State 10 so far behind
the age In not abolshlng the barbarous custom OF
imprisonment for debt. No doubt. much that has
been sad on the subject has unqncsionaby been
intended as mere defamation for the popular ear.
But when such men a. Mr.. West take up the sub
lcct we may expect them TO treat II in the manner
II deserves. and which will do more than anything
else for il abolition. II our fellow citizens would
sec ths rclct Of barbarlsm wiped from our statute
books they must elect men whose sentiments on
the subject are known and approved. II was only
by the votes Of few of the modern arstocrats that
such las did not pass the Legislature two years
since.
Among the Romans, the body Of the debtor was
at the disposal Of his crcd,ors at first even author
zing his murder and a DIVISION of his limbs among
them and sometimes they obtained his labor per-
petuay. 1t was the discomfort of the people which
compelled a change IN these inhuman laws; aud the
body was exempt from bondage, If the whole prop
erty was surrendered. connected with certain de-
grading ceremonies not necessary TO repeat. This
only discharged his body however. In France be-
fore the revolution, certain degrading ceremonies
were required Of the poor debtor to keep his body
from imprisonment.
Such was the treatment which attended innocent
but unfortunate debtors what aptly termed the
barbarous ages. We rejoice that better principles
have sprung up IN modern days, and that many OF
the States of this happy and enlightened country
governed by them We hope the Legislature OF
Indiana Will no longer refuse to adopt the measure,
necessary place herself the front rank of liber-
al and enlightened States The people should sound
their candidates the subject, and vote for none
opposed to the adjustment of that law. There can
be no doubt but the effect VII! be equally as benei
ca to the honest creditor as TO the honest debtor
Their true interests united and law which
Will punish only fraud, will best promote the com.
mon interest.
We hope our public men viii take an example
from Mr. West, and give this subject attention
than they have usually done. Perbum sat.
