A NEW MOVEMENT.

The following resolutions, passed by a
public meeting in Albany, and which have
been published in the Albany Argus, will
attract the attention Of the reader.

collection of debts in This state as useless,

the law itself has not the power 10 regulate,
and which we believe would regulate itself
in the absence Of the law. And we are led
10 believe that men would be more punclual
to pay all demands against them in the alb.
sence of the law than they are under the
law; for then all debts would be debts of
honesty and honor, and every person who
pays any regard TO honesty. and considers
reputation and credit the only sure road to
prosperity, and by which he expects TO gain
the esteem of men, would puLctually pay
that individual, who placed implicit con6-
dence in his honesty and granted TO him
without any sign of reluctance the assist.
ance he demanded. And we do further
believe that if the law was abrogaled we
should not witness IN its absence those wild
schemes OF speculation which we witness
under the law; for men could not get The
means to build castles in the air il there was
no such law; but under The law they recog.
nlze their friend as security; and ge, means
by which they ruin themselves and others.
And we do further believe that i, would
supersede the usnry law, for it would open
free trade on true principles between man
and nan, which we believe no body of men
have right 10 take away; Aud further.
more, we do believe its repeal would break
up these hungry swarms of lawyers and
Pel!ioggers who fat in consequence OF the
law, and bring them to the necessity of a.

drive them from their petty offices into some
more honorable business where their pro.
duciions would add something 10 national
