The Guard gets out ofthe difficulty in
which it was involved in regard to the Su-
preme Court decision. upon the bond ques-
ton, in the following manner: He affects
to ridicule the idea of the Bond question be-
ing governed by any principle which the
Supreme Court may establish. AS if the
editor could convince his worst enemy that
he was ignorant of the fact, that sa,o was
made up of adjudicated principles, and tha:
principle once settled, will govern a
thousand cases in which that principle may
arise. We consider the article in his last
weeks paper, as virtual acknowledg gment
that the principle upon which rests the
constitutionality ofthe Supplemental Bill,
has been settled by the Supreme Court.
Whether he acknowledge or not, 1t is true,
and all the sophistry and ingenuity ofthe
repudiators cannot dlsprove it.
Holly Springs gazette., 1843-09-08
THE BANKRUPT Law.

The repudiating papers are trying hard &c
make political capital out ofthe Bankrupt Law,
and endeavoring TO create prejudice against
those unfortunate men who were compelled to
take the benefit of that act. 1t is true that they
disclaim any intention of the kind but they hold
them up to the world as a-orse than repudiators.
They know that large number of honest men
and good democrats have availed themselves OF
this measure Of relief, and they try TO soothe
their feelings BY "sofl sawder'' at the same time
that they are publishing the names Of others who
took The benefit OF the law, in capital letters and
inSinuate that they worse than regulators.
This is desperate effort to create counter cur
ton, as the light OF truth QasheS upon the minds
of the people. But it cannot impose upon the
most ordinary mind that Will examine the sub
Ject. Whatever may be the policy of the Bank
rupt Law, is not for the unfortunate debtor to en-
quire. II is enough for him to know that il is
the law OF the land, and not only appearing upon
the statute books, but that it has gone through
the ordeal of the Judiciary, who have decided it
constitutional We believe, that without sim
gle exception, the Judges of the Supreme Court
of the U s. have so pronounced it in every in
stance in which it has arisen. We know that
Judge Caron, Mckinley. and perhaps some 9TH
ers, have declared it constitutional. w hat<blame

bankrupt law? Does the Guard which publish

really think those men culnahle1 If not why
does il compare them with men who have bor
rowed money, feasted upon it, now enjoy lis
benefits, and repudiate its repayment upon

THE sPEAKINa4pN MONDAY.

The candidates for the Legislature ad-
dressed the people onz4ast Monday. The
discussion was opened by M. Josselyn,
who spoke about an hour. He did moi under
take to argue any ofrhe Important questions
before the people. but stated what were bis
views upon the leading questions. He was
a repudiator, but did not say how long it had
been since the light of reputation broke
upon his intellect. He closed by referring
10 some charges made against him, which
were new to ourselves, and we suppose to
most of his audience Among other char
ces which arrested our attention was, that
j, was urged against him that he was poor
and friendless, and had no relations, and
great connexions to help him along" or
something to that effect. Whoever j: was
that started these charges, was certainly ve-
~ ignorant of human nature, or electloneer-
ing. We have generally seen candidates
in this country, anxious to get such charges
-ln circulation. We must never give our
opponents an opportunity to plead persecu-
tion, is we wish TO beat them.
MIR. Anderson gave US very excellent
argument upon the bond question He
showed that the bonds ought to be paid that
they would be paid and finally, that we
could pay them ,CitAont taration. He poin-
ted out many defects in the laws which he
thought required amendments Among
others. he thought there should be law
passed regulating the lien ofjudgments, so
that a purchaser at Sheriff's sale could buy
with certainty of getting good title. He
thought security who had paid offa debt,
should be permitted to use the same execu-
tion against his principal. and other laws
which we do not now recollect. He made
sensible and effective speech. without any
party asperi.y. He lamented the existence
Of party spirit among Us, as the creates. evil
Of the day.
MIR. Steger then arose and made short
address. He seemed to be taken rather by
surprise. and said that he did not come
with the expectation Of speaking. therefore,
was unprepared for the present occasion
He did not attempt to present any argu-
ments upon the questions At issue. bat in

jecs Of The constitution. He said he would

up the questions at greater length.
Judge Huling came next. and spoke for
more than an hour upon the questions at is
sue. We will not undertake to give his ar
guments, upon the bond question. In our
opinion, it was conclusive. upon the constitu
lonality and justice ofthe debt. He show
&c the necessity taking immediate steps to
provide for their payment, while the means
were in our reach. He showed it could be
done without taxation, if taken in time.
Like Mr. Anderson he adverted to ma
nv laws which require ed alteration. He
would abolish the office of Assessor. and
give the assessment to the magistrates. He
would lower the fees Of magistrates as be
ing too high. and give them per centage
for assessment. He spoke of other laws,
which we do not now remember He was
for economising the expenses of government
He showed how S29 900 could be saved to
the State from the Judiciary system alone
He lamented the high state of party ex-
element, and attributed to it much of the E.
vii we have suffered He exposed the con :
duct of unprincipled men of all parties, who
had heretofore been in power. who legisla-
ted for their own interest without regard 20
the public good He desired no man to support
him upon party grounds, but to vote for him
or not upon qualification alone. He did
not know who he should support for U. S.
Senator. He would 60 for a man of his
own principles, if he could get him if not,
for the one nearest TO it. In no event could
he be induced to support repudiatOr. His
speech was much applauded, and gave more
than satisfaction TO his friends. The bond
payers may congratulate themselves upon
this days work.
1t was so late when Mr.. Greer arose, thai
he had not time to enter at length upon
the different questions. He seemed good
deal excited, uuder the impression thai Judge
Huling had personal allusions 10 him, IN de-
the course of some of the more
violent repudiators. especially upon the Bris-
coe Bill But Judge Huling disclaimed
any intention of the kind. and told hlm that
while vaging uncompromising hostility to
repudiation in al its shapes he knew. and
had so stated, that the repudiators, with the
exception of a few. who were personally in
terested in Reputation. were as honest as
himself; and that he meant no kind of insinu-
alton against Mr.. Greer's character. Judge
Huling was SO explicit upon this subject in
his speech, that we were astonished that MIR.
Greer could have misinterpreted him. He
vas as severe upon whigsas democrats, and
SHARED none who had acted from interested
motives.
The candidates will canvass the county.
and address the people at every precinct. and
they will have an opportunity of hearing
and Judging for themselves.
