Homestead Exemption.
Home is the resort
lfI -. d


During the session Of the last Legislature, we cx-
pressed a hope that law might be adopted,
empting the homestead Of a debtor from execution.
Kentucky the first State in the Union TO adopt
the enlightened and humane policy Of abolishing
Imprisonment for debt Let her not be the last TO
withhold her sanction from this farther advance in
the progress Of civilization and humanity. "Home"
should be held sacred. IL awakens the best feelings
Of our nature, and makes us love our country with
irresistible power. Why should that spot endeared
by 20 many tender associations and exquisite mem
ories, be exposed to the hammer Of the officer, and
those who bound TO il by ties Of long years Of
happiness and content be expelled from its sacred
portals, as were first parents from Paradise.
Some will argue that nothing should be exempt
from legal process, that IL would destroy credit and
countenance fraud. Bot they take cold and err
roneous view OF the matter. Suppose a man s pos
sessed Of home Of which his family cannot be de-
prived, Of the value Of 5 500, would not that be
better basis Of credit than 10 have home? II
would be an incentive TO industry and integrity,
rather than indifference and fraud. II would soften
many rugged points in mans nature--it would lift
him higher than he now stands Character for
punctuaty is the best basis Of credit IL is the true
basis. A man may be possessed Of thousands, and
yet have credit
II is in moral sense, chiefly, that advocate
the homestead exemption. We desire to promote
the progress OF the human family-to Il in the
enjoyment Of all the concomtants Of hsppness-to
behold our country stand unparalleled among the
nations Of the earth, in every thing that tends 10
the elevation Of character the uufversaliy Of mind
and the cultivation Of heart. How proper, then,
that spirit Of emulation should be excited among
our citizens 20 secure = homestead that might be
cultivated by industry and adorned by tastei How
proper that the inducement should be held out 20
them 10 apply a portion Of their earnings 10 the
purchase OF property that will not pass away should
they be unfortunate and the world unkindi Many
good citizen would be saved 10 his family--many
iamiy be saved 10 society by such enactment.
Our country would be beautifed; industry, econo-
my, taste, would be stimulated; and people would
be rendered still more free and still more happy
To many poor man would be preserved tho place
where his years Of toll and labor had been expend.
ed-wbere the ashes Of his fathers rcpose-where
loved ones are sleeping, and To sever from which
would inhict a crushing blow from which he might
never recover.--L oasrius Jour of Commerce

Mr. VENAPLE inquired whether the document
contained evidence Of pensions, merely the list
OF pensioners?

House.
Mr.. CLINGMAN felt satisfied the document
ought 70 be printed and was Of the opinion that the
committee could 80 guard il in the mean time AZ
would obviate objection. His motion was, simply
to refer 1t to the Committee Printing with in
structions TO inquire into the proprety Of printing
five thousand copies.
The motion to refer the document TO the Commit
tee on Revolutionary Pensions was disagreed to,
and it was referred to the Committee on Printing.

Senator from Mississippi, in order that this conces
sion TO the South might be made one in fact, and
Also that the true intent and object Of the commit
tee in framing this section would be made appa
rent by their votes upon il. He had said that to
make the scheme complete this amendment was
necessary, that there might be no mistake in the
meaning Of the section.
He believed that the South had the right 10 go
there with its slaves had he ever held differ.
en opinion But he considered that after tho speech
OF the Senator from Kentucky, in which il was
ayowed that slavery prohibited there nc
thought the amendment recognising that right
should be pressed to a vote This was what he had
said yesterday, and the Senator could find his re.
marks in the Intelligence Of this morning.
Mr.. FooTE said that he had read the report Of
the debate OF yesterday, this morning, and was
sure that he was correct before he made his re-
marks He held in his hand report-a condemned
one IL was true-but one which was correct In the
statements Of what was uttered yesterday by the
Senator. Mr.. y. read from the sketch Of yester-
days debate as il appeared in this paper.of this
morning.l
Mr.. YuLEE asked what paper the Senator was
reading FROM
Mr. FOOTE The Republic.
Mr.. YULEE said that he had not seen the report
which the Senator was reading, and knew nothing
oft. His remarks were reported correctly in the
Trteiiigencv He did not take the Rep,.Jiic and had
seen nothing Of the report.
Mr. FOOTE said that he had not examined bic
report Of the Senator's remarks in the Inieiigsnce
as they might have been prepared by the Senator
himself He was then understood to maintain that
the sketches Of the debates which appear in the
Republic we're generally accurate, and then finished
reading the report, appealing to the recollection
Of the Senate 10 sustain IT, He said that the report
just read must be correct, or he had made some
very foolish speeches yesterday in reply 10 the re-
marks Of the Senator, for he understood him TO
say exactly what appeared in the paper

the cylinder was turned one-fourth round, and
again and again this was repeated until an entire

The beans were then taken out of the EARTH and il
was found that both the plume and radicle had bent
to accommodate themselves to every revolution,
