result would be that the whole thing would be
merged into personal ,ooatest, and that we
should not provo Our case. For ton such cases
would not by any means prove the rule, in tho
general terms in which no hid it down md
cren if we should prove the "ten cascs,' it
would be as easy to deny them as to deny the
general charge:
Justices are practically irresponsible to the
poor. There? are some: :twcnty Of them in the
city who are elected by the people TO ssy
that, under these circumstance, oppression
and fraud, under the forms Of law, will never
occur or will not frequently occur, is to deny
that Justices arc human. Now, from the in
formation in our possession, we hare little
doubt that more than half Of the ITO persons
imprisoned for debts Of ten dollars or less,
were SO imprisoned without any affidavit hav-
ing been made, and that in most Of the other
cases the affidavit II made. was untrue. The
statute allows persons certain specified arti-
c}cs Of property which ordinarily would be
worth about one hundred dollars, and sixty
dollars worth Of other property, exempt from
execution. Now, is it reasonable 10 suppose,
that any one, who had this amount Of property
would go to Jail on a debt Of Eve dollars
When man applies fur ca. 50. On debt Of
five or ten dollars, would it not naturally occur
to any honest magistrate to question him
carefully as to the sources Of his information
Did any one ever hear Of this thing being
done? Is it always done now, even since the
late decision Of the Supreme Court requiring it
But the most important conclusion to be
drawn from our article is one which, we pre-
sumo, neither III: Mllcrd nor any one elae will
be disposed to question. The law il, as it now
standa, disgrace to tho State. It affords
great temptation to fraudulent and oppressive
practices, and opens constant opportunities for
the petty sbylocks Of tue lower classes to grind
their debtors to the dust. It is not the class
to which Mr.. Mil1erd refers as "dressing in
fine clothes and living in fine houses," whc
are imprisoned at the rats Of one week, OF
debts Of less than ten dollars, but it is the
poor and the unfortunate, who cannot pay. II
tho cause our sympathiesare always enlisted
| aud it is for them that re now speak.

The Douglasites of ST. Louis to The humber
Of one Thousand had a ratification in TINT
city Oh Tuesday evening. What they ratified
docs not fully appear, for it is commonly uu-
ders:ood that the land Of pukes did not gire
tue Little Giaut any support at Charleston that
was worth talking about while thee Of her
delegates actually seeded ard joined his dend-
LEST enemies. 1t is matter Of recent history
TOO that the Democracy Of Missouri in their
State Convention, adopted platform utterly
at variance with Mr. Douglas creed on the
only point where he can be said to dif1erfro.n
Yancey and his cohort Of tire-eaters- Never
thele.a, they ratified. The evening was pref
t. much consumed by ono Judge Krum, q del
egate to Charleston, who twas astouished to
"flud on his return that s-me persons mis-
"construrd his actions" He then proceeded
to lny all the blame, If blame it was.) Of the
bad conduct Of Missouri at Charleston upon
the shoulders Of the Hon. james B. Clarke,
the representative Of the State on the Plat
form Committee. Gen. Clarke, said Krum,
was selected by the Missouri delegation to az
est in getting up the platform Gen. Clarke
went into the Con mittee and committed the
uupardonable blunder; or crime, Of voting for
slave.code platform, -coincIdipg preci: ely
with the plauorm Of luis constituents, instead
Of going with the minority Of the Commit
teo for squat1er sovereignty platform
diametzically hostile to that Of his
consu1uentsi But, continued Krum, in JUS
tics to Gen. Clarke it must be said that he was
really opposed to the slave code resolutions,
which his own State had almost unanimously
adopted, and only voted for them in Commit
tee for the purpose Of getting them before the
Convention, where he could vote against them
But that was not all. Mr.. Krum had another
zigzag shot in his locker wherewith TO con.
found those persons who had misconst1ucd his
actions. We copy it rerbatim from the Mis-
sonsi Democrat:
"The speaker proceeded The mejority re.
port aEn rtned non Intervention, aud in the uex1
resolution SAYS that Congress- must protect
property Of all kinds, whether in the Terriloriel
or On the h1gh seas. That resolution was con

This explanation seems to have been salts
factory to all hands, for Mr. Garesche. Of the
Commiltee On Resolutions, here made his ap'
pearancs and reported tolerably emphatic
endorsement Of Douglas, which was adopted
bv the rneet{nr Alter which the aorercfrn,
adjourned. The Democrat adds" rhc1,
