IMpRIs oNMENT FOR DEBT. The writer in
your paper of the 30th ut. who styles him
self the ''West End" very much mistakes the
sentiments of the citizens of This section of the
city, if he in his article headed "lmprson-
ment for debt" speaks in behalf of the people;
it may be, and no doubt is, the opinion of your
correspondent, that this law should continue
to exist, but the people here sanction no such
crude and unCharitabe sentimGnts-and |
would almost guarantee, if the question was
put, whether Imprisonment for debt should be
abolished, two-thirds of them would vote in
the affirmative; and WHY because they are
dishonest; anxious for the blotting out from
the statutes ana law which would hinder them
from evadng the payment of debts contracted
in good faith, but from fortutous crcumstan-
ces, unable to pay at the precise time their cred
itors wish; no, but because the adjustment of
the law would afford them additional advan-
,ages for the speedy payment of their liabili-
ties; these advantages | cannot here enumerate
Your correspondent in the opening Of his
communication allows no sincerity to those
who have heretofore advocated a repeal ofthis
law, but says ''they affect the greatest horror at
the idea of Imprisonment for debt" |, sirs, do
not "q6eCtn but cypress "the greatest horror"
at his communication-it is the advocacy of
an unjust lava TRADE against the worthy ad-
vocates of its repeal tamperng with the
nicer feelings of the poor unfortunate doGtOr |
regard IL as ga relic Of blrbarism''--a foul
spot upon our high claims to civilization, and
gospel benevelence; it takes in It's operation
the energies, aye, the reputation of the debtor,
incarcerates them in a loathsome prison, and
leaves them there to wither and die. And is
this nothing!
Again, your correspondent very chartably
recommends the ''insolvent laws" which were
made, he says. "for the poor, honest debtors
especial benefit" One word here. We all
know, Messrs. Editors, the effect upon the re-
putation of that man who takes this law, it
forever prostrates him in the eyes of the COM
munty. The ptbLic look with suspicion and
distrust upon him who is stgmatized as "pe-
titioner'' For myself, had as live trust a
man after as before pettioning, provided he
was a man of integritY,) but to an individual
who has no means, no mOnisd capital, bat who
depends alone upon his character and reputa-
tion for the maintenance of his wife and be-
loved offspring, the avaiipg himself Of this
law generally proves death to his present and
future prospect. ! would like TO 90 into par
ticn,qr review of this question in all It's bear
ngs and aspects, but time nor space will al
low In conclusion, [ will 90 with your cor
respondent for the enactment of law which
vii! provide ''fos tie better collection Of debts
but will never sanction, by word or deed, a
law which places She honest and dishonest
man on the same footing, and which, while it
clears the ''guilty," uirIuutiy declares hia
/ equity" who pleads in bcseeching Tenderness

In the Senate, Mr.. Cass submitted the reso.
lu.ions of the legislature Of Michigan in favor Of
our title to the whole ofOregon, and instruct.
ing the Senators from that State to vote for the
notice and all other measures on the subject
recommended by Mr. Polk The resolutions
also endorse the doctrine of non.interference As
laid down in the message.
NJ. Jarnagin offered resolution which was
adopted, calling upon the President of,he Uni.
ted States, to communicate to the Senate the
authority BY which MI. voes was appointed a.
gent to receive the indemnity from Mexico
whether bis appointment was made with the
concurrence of the claimants-and whether he
has paid over the monies received by him, to.
gether with all information in possession ral.-
tive to the subject.
The Senate then proceeded to the special or
der Of the day Oregon ques.ion,) and
NJ. Allen resumed his remarks, and said that
Great Britain would not and dare not, single.
handed, fight the United States for Oregon.
The principle object Of Mr.. Aliens speech ap.
peared to be TO show that the power of Great
Britain was greatly exaggerated, while our
own was as much moderated.
II. Allen closed his speech with the start

Nj. King said that the reason why he did
vote upon the Oregon question was that

suppressed part Of the correspondence as
