Mr.. PREsIDENT-I am constrained to dis
agree with the majority, as this bill is an in
nOvation upon a tIme-hOnOred provision OF
the exem ptiOn laws of the State, and would
work a great hardship upon widows and
orphans, and have tendency to force par
| ties to remain in the State against their
wishes, or else it would cause them to con-
| ceal their purposes, privately sell SUCH eX-
empted property, pocket the proceeds, and
| leave the State by the public high ways
Besides this, there is such vigilance on the
| part of creditors, on account of the strin-
| gency of the times, that there is no neces-
shy for this Legislature to shut down so
| tightly upon the unfortunate poor man OF
the State. Let Us season justice with mercy.
