Wtt. HtrVTlVGTOBnS REPORT. The following report on the subject of impriaonment for debt, wa» made by Mr. HUB-

TING TOW MHM days ago, fn tbe House of Representative*. The select committee to which was refened a resolution of this House, on the subject of the abolition of imprisonmcnt for debt, have had the subject under consideration, and report, that, in the investigation of the important subject submitted, the committee has been guided as well by the views ?md opinions of others, distinguished alike for their philanthropy and their intelligence, as by the light which our own peculiar institution* and political condition have furnished. Whether we look to tbe origin or to the operation of laws in this or any other country, that subject the body of a debtor to imprisonment at the instance of hi* creditor, we find them unsanctioned and unsupported by any piinciple of humanity, of justice, or policy. These, like most of our laws, have been derived from the mother country. In adopting tbe British common law and code as our guide in the formation of our own systems of jurisprudence, we have, with many good, adopted many very bad principles. It is often very difficult to judge of the peculiar adaptation of laws, which were wholesome under the British form of government, to our republican institution?, and in Adopting many of the municipal regulations of England and incorporating them into our own laws, our statesmen have not been careful enough of the differences of the two governments, their institutions, and the habits and feelings of the people. We can discover nothing in the origin of the laws alluded to and now the subject of investigation, to commend them to our adoption. On the other hand, we regard them as incompatible with the piinciples of humanity and of justice, incompatible with our free institutions and with the genius and feelings of the people, and incompatible with principles of policy.

It has been contended by some who are advocates for imprisonment for debt, that the common law sanctioned it, unci therefore that all time has tested its propriety. This is however incor rect, and the stain thus attempted to be affixed to that splendid pile of human wisdom, erected by the events and experience of ages, was removed in a speech of surpassing eloquence pro nounced in the senate of the United States, in 1^28, by a Senator of Kentucky. In England, government more approximating to our own than any other in the security it affords to the individual and natural rights of the subject, imprisonment for debt was unknown until the reign of Henry the third. It was introduced by an act of Parliament,ns an extension of the then overgrown power of the Nobles,- under the specious pretence of securing them against the frauds of their" bailiffs and stewards." This power then extend only to the Barons, and only operated under the peculiar restric tio/is upon a particular and comparatively a small class of the people. In the reign of Edward the First, the erchants procured the passage of an net of Parliament giving the power to imprison their debtors. In a subse ijuent reign the power to imprison was yet farther extended, until in the reign of Henry the Eighth, it became a general Kiw. Thus it will be seen, that nftera hundred and fifty years of tortuous legislation, commenced by the aristocracy, and subsequently continued step after step by the unseen but grasping power of wealth, civil imprisonment was sanctioned by the laws of England. It has been well and truly said that"power is ways stealing from the many to the /$*' and the remark applies with .t force to the government of Kr ,*nd and to our own. It has and e* .r will be so, and until some moral sffcl political revolution shall take place in the world never yet "dreamed of in our philosophy," a large majority of mankind must be hewers of wood and drawers of water" for the minority. The people of England lost half their freedom when the right to imprison for debt WJIS establish--col This right did not exist by the common law, which comes down to us hallowed by time and sanctioned by its wholesome operations upon all tuusau concerns, but was filched from the people b* the power of aristocracy and of wealth, and secured by acts of Parliament. Having removed the impression that civil imprisonment was sanctioned by the common law, we now p^occcd to show why in the opinion of the committee it should be abolished. "While we have rejected by a glorious revolution the political code of England, and repudiated that maxim of tyrants, that kings rule by divin

ruthC wc have adopted many of civil regulations and laws perfectly at war with the essentials of republican freedom. Ours is emphatically a free government of the people. It reposes alone upon the immutable basis of virtue ana of mutual right*. Any law that impairs the natural liberties of tbe citizen* eicept to for as it may be necessary io the general welfare, Uinco»-

listent with the spirit of our institutions. The punishment of crime is nece&iary to the health of society, and- in the formation of otir criminal code, we have except in two cases (the cases of treason and murder) rejected the vindictive penalties of the British criminal code, and substituted imprisonment in place of death. To protect the innocent from the vicious, is the duty of all governments, for to suffer the wicked and tbe base to prey with impunity upon the virtuous, would be to plr.ee vice and virtue upon the same moral and political footing. But who is thore that would place the crimes and the misfortunes of men upon the same political and moral scale? If judgement and the honest charities of our natures are left uncontrolled, crime would excite our horror and misfortune our regrets. The heart that would shudder at the crime of perjury would sorrow over the pecuniary ruin and distress of man. And yet under our municipal laws the peijured and the unfortunate debtor are alike subject to the pains of incarceration. It is true that in the one case, the mark of the criminal is stapiped upon the captive, while tbe other only bears the indicia of sorrow and misfortune.— But in the case of the criminal, twen-ty-four of his peers under oath pronounce the punishment, while the doom of the debtor is left to the tincontrolled determinarion of an unrelenting creditor. It may be, that a wall phall separate the victim of his own dark crimes from the miserable debtor, but the free air of heaven is alike denied to both. They are both the tenants of a prison, and the cold sympathy of the world will scarcely stop to learn the distinctions of their moral condition, while they both wear the same fetters. In the language of the benevolent Stern, "disguise thyself as thou wilt, still slavery, still thou art a bitter draught."

It is true that debtors are in some cases guilty of fraud and dishonestly evade the payment of their just debts, but one of the favorite maxims of the common law is, that the least corporeal punishment is greater than the greatest possible amercement." If the fraudulent alone were imprisoned, the evil would be comparatively nothing, but it falls indiscriminately upon the honest and the dishonest. Where is the community, boasting of its civi and religious freedom, whose mora senes will doom to the same prtlon with the criminal, the man," the deep damnation of whose offence" alone consists in his inability to pay his debts: and this too at the instance of one man, left free to gratify 4ii« own malignant feelings. To pretend that the world is mere charitable,or that creditors are more indulgent towards their honest debtors in the general than this, is to deny the allegations of history. The prisons of Europe and we lament to acknowledge it) of our own country, all speak the same melancholy truth. Upon every principle then of humanity, imprisonment for debt should be abolished.

We next proceed to inquire whether the power to imprison for debt is not inconsistent with the spirit of our republican institutions. In the language of the declaration of independence, "all men are created equal they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." To support these prin ciples the b«st blood of the land was freely poured out. Who will say that this declaration of natural rights sanctions the deprivation of personal liberty for any thing less than crime? In the first section of the first article of the constitution of Indiana, the same principles are asserted, and although the right to imprison for debt, "where there is strong presumption of fraud," is fully reoognized in the 17th section of the same article, yet the very phraseology of that clause denounces it for any other cause. But in the 8th article of the same instrument, embracing in our conception the substantial meaning of the tiue spirit of tbe whole, so far as it relates to this subject, lit is solemnly said that "as the holding of any part of the human creation in slavery, or involuntarily servitude, can only originate in usurpation and tyranny, no alteration of this constitution shall ever take place so as to introduce slavery or involuntary servitude in this state, otherwise than for the pun-

ishment of crimes, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.''—

This, in our opinion, applies as well to involuntary confinment and servitude in prison, as to the African slavery, foi it specially recognises imprisonment for crime as involuntary servitude. If this construction be t.iie,imprisonment for debt stands condemned by the letter and spirit of the constitution. In short, from the declaration of independence to the present period, there can be found nothing in all our institutions and characters to sanction and reccommend civil imprisonment.

Is it sanctioned by the feelings and genius of the people of this State or of tbe United States! We say it is Dot. We boast that we are freemen.

while we aw all by one act of folly, (not of crime) by one indiscretion, or DJ cne misfortune, liable to be cast into prison. While the world is as it is, and has been, men will be liable to misfortunes, sometimes the result of ignorance, sometimes of folly, but oftener of unavoidable circumstances.— Human foresight cannot always avert the coming of disaster and distress. The rich to-day, may be beggars tomorrow. Fire, tempest, the sword, crime, death,and the countless changes that are constantly going on in the moral and physical world, all render the durability of human fortune as well as human life fearfully precarious.— While all human concerns are thu? liable to change, is it right that the miseries and evils following these unavoidable revolutions should be increased by the degradation and dishonor of the prison? The moral sense of any community priding itself upon its civil liberty, must recoil from such a doctrine. The feelings and genius of the people of Indiana must ever condemn it. But this is not all. Imprisonment for debt impairs that veneration for civil liberty which is the duty and policy of tbe government to cultivate.— Tear the unfortunate debtor from his family, cast him i'ito prison and leave hi.*n there to reflect upon his humble condition, and if he be a man of the ordinary sensibilities of our nature, he will lose every feeling of pride and privilege which commonly attaches to the American citizen. He feels himself degraded in the eyes of the world. He ponders upon the ruin of his once happy home,and sees his family thrown upon the world, the object of a cold and careless charity. lie has nothing to look upon but wretehedness, his family altars have all been cast down and violated. He

sees

and feels all

this and perhaps to add to the bitterness of his miseries, he sees through the gates of hispribon his creditor roll by, surrounded by all the trappings of wealth and distinction. This is no fiction. These are every day scenes. And is it strange that under these circum stances the "iron should enter his soul These things must weaken the ties that bind man to his countrj. When the doors of the prison are unbolted to him, he returns to the world a misanthrope, and without one feeling in common with the more fortunate around him. It is not strange that he should hate the country that thus degraded him. And now having shown that civil imprisonment stands condemned by humanity, by the spirits of ourrepublicaa institutions, by the genius and feelings of the American people, and by the spirit of freedom, me consideration alone remains connected with this subject. Js the power to imprison fewdebt demanded on the score of policy? If it is not, it should not exist.

Its toleration is advocated as a means to enforce the payment of debts. To mprison a man, surely does not increase his means to pay it invests him with no more property. It makes him no more honest. What will it do? It will sometimes it is true induce the fraudulent to yield up what he has, but oftenei plunge him into deeper iniquities through the insolvent oaths. It will shackle his hands and prevent him from using the means of escaping from embarrasment. It will make his family if he has one, paupers.' It will degrade him. It may in some cases wring from him a dollar more and by operating upon the sympathies of his friends if heshoulf"be so fortunate as to have any, coerce from them the payments of his debts. But in nine cases out of ten, it will wring nothing from him but the groans of a broken spirit, and from his family, the unavailing tears of wretchedness. Punctuality in the discharge of obligations of every kind, should be encouraged, but never by the terrors of a jail* Equitable, as well as legal effects should be liable to execution. In a largfe majority of cases, imprisonment is resorted to, lo gratify private mjflice, rather than punish fraud. But the fraudulent

escape from prison through the means is

of insolvent laws, and too often add to their already degraded characters the crime of purjury. This should be a? voided, more especially, where it answers no earthly good. The honest man escapes thro' the same path* but subject alike to the same degradation in the eye of the world. Who is benefitted? Nobod) is benefitted. Let it not be said that every man can escape from prison by taking the benefit of the insolvent laws. No honest freeman should be forced into prison, even though the means of escape are before him. Crime should be punished, misfortune never. Prisons were made for the vicious, not the unfortunate or indiscreet We have no entails, no right of primogeniture to impair our equality, we should have no debtor* prisons. The committe therefore entertaining these views, earnestly recommend that imprisonment for debt be abolished. To effect this, they report a bill to amend an act subjecting real and personal estate to execution, approved February 4th, 1831: which was read and passed to a second read* ing.

MR.DOWLIKO:

It has been observ

ed that most of your subscribe! sin this vicinity call your paper the Currier, This pronunciation is not confined to the uninformed. It is used by those, who, in the language ofShakspeare should "know a hawk from a bandsaw." must,, proceed either from carelessness or ignorance. In either case, perhaps it will be corrected if ciearly pointed out. Currier signifies "a dresser of tanned leather"—a dresser of hides." If your paper were like the Castigator," the True Blue," or "Paul Pry," it might not be thought much of a license tocaJlit the Currier but as no man's hide Las been dressed in it yet save that of—, to call your paper the Currier seems to be assuming a license more than poetical. The name which you have bestowed upon it is "Courier," pronounced Shoo-reer. This word is defined in our common dictionaries, "a messenger sent in haste." As"wordsare the signsof our idea^w and this is a French word, which has been adopted into our language by "Reputable use, whose arbitrary sway "Words and the forms of language must obey," we should look to France, for what Professor Hedge would call the "archetype of the idea." The kings of that country were probably the first to introduce the custom of sending special messengers to announce to other crowned heads the occurrence of any interesting or important event. These messengers were called Couriers. In Grimshaw's France, page 209, may be found the following passage. "On the eighth of August, in the year 1744, the king (Louis the 15th, who in the early part of his reign had been called the "well-beloved,") felt some symptoms of fever, and on the 14th, was declared to be in imminent danger. The intelligence of his illness reached Paris in the middle of the night. The inhabitants rose from their beds, and ran aboutin great disorder, without knowing whither they went. The churches were open, though at night, nor did the people any longer regard the time of sleeping, waking, or eating. All Paris seemed disturbed, and the houses of public affairs were surrounded with a crowd. In many of the churches the priests who read prayers for the

king's recovery interrupted their sup- -P.!0014,
