vVnuld not men labour with more ilii-

aot pay them the laws furnished a quick md certain method of compulsion I s hun one man receives of another his oroperty does not moral honesty and nound policy require laws to be so framd as to enforce pa; mcnt for the amc ? )r does it in any way serve the farmer, y. the mechanic, or the purporsc of inernal trade and domestic traffic, to encourage men in withholding from those whose propci ty and labour they have enjoyed, their just dues ? does not such laws icad to general distress, lo distrust, suspicion, Sc the total distinction of confidence and credit between man c man ? But some will say, 'tis hard that a mans property should be sold at an underrate. saciiriccd. Now w hich is the hardest case; for a rich man (The law is out J he question as regards ssrving tht fioor ) to -have his property sold to pay his ju st debts or that the man who sold him ihe property probably his chief dependence, should be compelled to lie out ol his money and his property too? the lattei is unquestionably the hauler case.

Hut it may be said that ncighbourini

states have adopted acts of a similar nature ; and that it is necessary for us to meet their policy. Admit that such acts have been adopted in other stales ; after the experience we have had, what doeit prove? why, that their situation does not correspond with ours. There is not robabiy, in the union, a state so entirely dependent at this time, on agiicultuu as Indiana. While other states are supported, some by commerce sonic by manufactures, and some by both, in addit'n'o the productions of their soil ; our sup ort is and for years must be, entire! ; deiivcd from the latter source. As tconforming to, or trying to meet the pi ! cy of adjoining states in all its ramifi ations, the idea is absurd. Our inlet
