THE BANKRUPT LAW.
Tliis bantling of -Federal Whiggery is thus
strikingly delineated by the Hun. JameStK.'
Folk, iii a speech recently delivered by him
■in Tennessee’;
“In the catalogue of relief measures' of
the late Extra Session follows the liankrupt
law.” This law pruyidesior voluntary and
Involuntary bankruptcies. In its practical
operation it will apply alm.pst exclusively to
the .former class; id failing’merchants, spec
ulators, and other large dealers and trailers.
Banks which Fuji to pay their. debts are cx
emptedTrom its operation, under the class
of involuntary bankruptcies—thus making
aii unjust.aiidibdiaus distinction in favor of
these privileged corporations over individu
als. . 1
• By the provisions'of the liny the debtor may
pay off all his creditors by an oath, leaving
his “partners, joint contractors, endorsers
and sureties”liablc for the debt, and though
he may afterwards become wealthy, his
creditors, or those who have been made pooi;
by having his debts to pay fur him, have no
legal remedy or recourse. The orphan
children of the creditor, endorser, or secu
rity, may be in penury and want, and look
on without remedy on the bankrupt who has
obtained his discharge in court, and sec him
in the full eqjoyment of all that wealth or
luxury can afford.’ The credit nniy have
been extended upon the character of the
debtor,for business, or upon the known fact
that he had an estate in expectancy from an
ancestor, and yet when at a future day it
descends to him, and he comes into posses
sion of'it, it cannot be reached. A familiar
case, not unlikely frequently to occur, may
illustrate still further (his measure of relief.
A merchant sets up in business. He b'tings
with him a fine stuck of goods, appears to
be full handed, and .has money at command,
but whether he is operating upon borrowed
capital or real means no one knows. After
he is in business a. lew months, he obtains a
high credit in his neighborhood, buys the
farmer’s cattle, pork, tobacco, or cotton on
credit; borrows tlie surplus money* of those
who have earned it by the sweat ol the brow,
who desire to draw interest upon it and
think it safe in his hiftids, and prpcureS his
frieniM ’ After a,time he
converts •most-of -his visible property - into
■money, t gives it out that, he is. v broke, takes
A!>e-,ltcn:«Bt.q>fv|J)y^lnJij'opt.lawiand paysall
his debts,by anoitth, and obtains a clear
discharge. .His hidden treasure is conceal
ed from all human eyes but his own-, and he
is beyond detection. The temptations, to
commit perjdry will be very strong, and nu
merous frauds will be inevitable. The far
mer or small dealer, residing at a distance
from the federal courts, can seldom if ever
avail himself of its provisions. It will ope
rate.in favor of bankrupt merchants and
traders alone, and . to . the prejudice of all
honest and solvent merchants, apd to, the
balance of the pommunity.. That there may
be some unfortunate cases of honest men
who fail in business, is freely conceded, but
these will rarely be oppressed by their cred
itors, and’ if ever able to pay, they will
cheerfully do so.'
1 would abolish imprisonment fur debt.—
I would incarcerate the person of no free
man in the- walls of a prison," or otherwise
deprive him of his liberty, if he was honest,
had been unfortunate, or from other causes
was unable to pay his debts; but I would
hold him liable to pay, if in- after- life he
should become able to do so.
The late Bankrupt law is retrospective in
its operation, covering debts'contracted be
fore its passage, and impairing the obligation
of contracts. By its provisions, too, the
bankrupt, having squared oil' his old debts,
(it may be by the use of an
may become a bankrupt a
pay off his new debts by a
vided he will give, up
enough-to pay 75 cents in the dollar of the
new debts he has contracted. Under its
operations reckless gamblers in trade may
be expected to increase iii number. If they
are fortunate in their new enterprises' it is
well. If unfortunate they cannot be worsted
in their circumstances.”
THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE LAW.
It is no unusual thing to see men in this
country rise to eminence at the baiyand in
the State, by their own unaided energies,
and the natural vigor of their minds. Of
this kind .was Judge S—, of Maryland. He
bad come to the ; bar late in-life, avoiding, or
. overstepping the dull technical formalities
which surrounded the usual approaches to
the! practice.. Having reached lhe‘, profits
nnd advantages of his profession without
them, he felt or affected fur. them indiffer
ence o,r contempt, and the old ‘Martinets’of
the law were often made to stare at the lib
erties he would take, with what they deem
ed indispensable and unnecessary forms and
rules of-practice. To S—the form was
nothing, so that he could seize the right.
A notorious offender,who had lung escaped
the.meshes of the law, by means of flaws and
holes in indictments, was to be tried before
him. Gen. Mason was his standing counsel;'
and the fellow’s good fortune, and the inge
nuity and tact ot his counsel,were consid
ered as good as law proof. Judge S. was
well satisfied that the fellow deserved puish
inent, and was determined that he should
, receive it, maugre the talents of Mason, or
any legal difficulty that anight interpose.' .
Tlio prosecution went on and the counsel
for the state made out a very clear case; the
offence; was proved point blank, and Mason
began to think his client rather cornered,
• when the prosecuting attorney, to make as
- surance doubly surd, culled one. more wit
ness, a,very .respectable man iir the county;
he confirmed all that had been proved by
former witnesses as to the.offence, and with
it this.additional impbptant fact, that the of-.
~ fence was conimiyed. in L’ennsyl7ama; hot
: Maryland,—it being in one of the border
- counties. Apparently the court paid no at
” tention : ,to tins part of tfie'testimony. "But:
the crimihal’a counsel "that he
euppoaed he need call no witness, as tliis
fact, sowell ascertained, must at once-put
. an end to the prosecution. .“Not -at all,-*—
not at alj—go on,” said the court. “YuUr
honor will not attempt to try an offence
committed in another State?” , “I tell you
1 will; air, and show you good reason for it
The offence has.been clearly proven, air’
deservespupishinent—we h’aveliim here
can punish him. In Pennsylvania they <
not catch him; and the law is not to be bai
«d by such technicalities.?’
Thu counsel here reinarKed that ho Ci
Convince the Court of its error, if he had
time to look up authorities —he had not the
bookswith him, but could procure them in
half an hour., -
“O; I will give yon as much timd'asyou
want,” replied the, Judge.- “Take half a
: day, if-yon'choosevW;- -
So soon as Mason had left the court, in
search of the unanswerable authorities, the
judge turned, and remarked to the jury,
‘‘that they had heard the testimony, and
could no doubt make-up their .verdict, and
he would take care of Ton'Mason.’*- The
court sentenced him to receive fifty lashes
on the bare back, and ordered the sheriff to
execute the sentence forthwith. His coun
sel returned with the least possible loss of
time, and without noticing the absence of
his client, commenced quoting his authori
ties, and arguing therefrom—the court tak
ing notes and listening very attentively all
the time. Mason at last missed his client,
and enquired where he was. Never mind,
never mind—go on Mr. Mason’. But Ma
son had became alarmed; and refused to go
on furtheivuntil satisfied of the whereabouts
of his client. '“WcU, Mr. Mason,” said the
judge, “if you will step up to yonder win
dow, you can-see him.” 'Mason proceeded
in the direction-indicated by the judge’s
gesture, and.had no sooner looked out than
le turned to the Court, with the exclama-
tion, “by G—d, are flogging him.”
"That makes no dillSrence,” replied theim
pertui'able judge, ‘(proceed in your argu
ment.” “What good will my argument do
—the man is already sentenced and punish
ed? 1 have nothing to gain by convincing
the Court!” '“O yes, I will ■grant you,”
said the judge, “o new trial!”— [Pittsburg

MORE, TROUBLE IN PROSPECT
It would appear from the following arti
cle,which is copied from (he St. John’s Cour
ier of the 6th ult. that our neighbors in New
Brunswick regard with ‘dissatisfaction the
exports survey of the United States Gov
ernment, to determine the due North line—
.and anticipate difficulty, provided the line
should he continued.beyond the St. John:—
“ and the New Survey.-
We believe it is generally known that an ex
parte survey- of the due Novty line from the
inpmimcnt, as claimed by the American Go-,
verrijnent, Ijas this year-been going on Under.
Major Graham and otht'r officcrs-of the ,U.-
States TopographicarEiigineers/butcjn’e’be
lieve that flie ihode"oT carrying on that sur
j'vey, is not yet fully understood. We there
fore have to state that the American Survey
ors are running and marking the fine by the
transit instrument, or, as we Understand if,
making an astronomical Survey,’ they.having
found, on trial, that such would give them a
considerable advantage, by carrying n-new
line considerably to the eastward of the line
establishcd.by the joint survey of the bound
ary commissioners many.years ago.-"-
A short time since we learned that this
new line had been extended as far north as
the Aroostook river, where it was 780 yards
(nearly half a mile) to the eastward of the
former line, and of course interfered serious
ly with private rights. In ope instance, it
was said, the owners of~ the land had resist
ed the survey, thrown down the observatory,
and driven off the commissioner and his sur
veyors.'’ We now hear that the line has been
extended nearly to the fet. John,-and that it'
will cross that river more than half a mile
below the former line, but a very short dis
tance above the military post at the Grand
Falls. We offer no opinion as to the expe
diency or propriety of allowing this new line
to be run and maided, because permission
to do so was granted by our Executive, and
we trust it was on good & sufficient grounds,
but we cannot refrain fr6m expressing a de
cided disapproval of allowing the American
surveyors to continue their line north of the
St. John.
On this point we feel certain that we
merely express the universal feeling of the
people of this province, who see clearly that
the running of this line will eventually lead'
to very unpleasant consequences, and that,
in the mean- time it tends-to unsettle, disturb
and harass, a large number of her Majesty’s
loyal subjects, who, being settled near the
border, ought by no means to be disquieted
in their possessions, or allowed for one mo
ment to entertain a doubt of their perfect
security,- There is another view of this
matter which should not. be overlooked.—
The General Government of the U. States,
sajr that this line is run by them ex parte
only, and merely for information; but the.
state of Maine treats it very differently, and
appears to consider this'survey as establish
ing the line by which they mean to abide.—
It is generally understood, jfuot already iu
voWed, that 'when Gov. Fairfield is sworn
into office next January,die intends to take
possession of the new line, and will sell and
settle the lands with the least possible delay.
Such a course would produce an instant col
lision, from which we hope long to be spared,
but it can hardly be avoided if,this survey
which Maine is fully disposed and quite dp
lermined to consider final, is alldwcd to pro
ceed, ■
The New Orleans papers contain some
items of Mexican intelligence, received by
a late arrival from Matainoras. We exthict
the following from the Bee of the sth Inst:
“After a prolonged struggle, Santa Anna
has succeeded in overturning the',Govern
ment, Bustamcnte, it. is said, is imprison
ed, and at. the mercy Of the conquerer, a

tile new Government is, about to despatch
expeditions Ibr’the purposeof subduing those
Provinces which have the audacity to de
clare themselves independent-—su£h as 'Tex
as, Cam peachy, and Tobasco. This circum
stance would lead to the belief that it is San
ta Anna’s intention to organize a strong Go
vernment—in other words a military rule.
Santa Anna should, how'ever, 1 remember that
if the’laurels of victory sometimes conceal

BRITISH POWER IN INDIA
Mr. Lester, in his, recently published'
work, entitled “The Glory and the Shame
of England”—-devotes a chapter to the ori-.
gin, growth,and abuse of British power, in
the possessions of the East India Company.
He states 240 years ago, Elisabeth granted
to a company of English merchants, an ex
clusive right to the .commerce of India for
Id years. That the privileges of this Com;,
pany have been successively renewed, until
they now form an empire of 1,500,000 square
miles, embracing 150,000,000 of subjects.—
The native army of the Company comprises
about 260,000 infantry and 26,000 cavalry;
while about 8000'troops are levied in Eu
rope, aided by 20,0b(T6f the Queen’s regu
lar army.- Mr. Lester affirms that the entire
population of this vast empire; ai'e subjected
to-tlie most degrading servitude. Millions
of them, it is estimated, are held in the most
cruel bondage, while a vastly greater num
ber are,.indifferent forms, reduced to the
condition of abject vassalage—bringing with
it in innumerable instances,;a deeper degra
dation than any*produced by West Indian
or American Slavery. He. affirms, that in
consequence of the system practised", millions
of the people of India have been starved to
death. Dr. Bbwrlng is quoted as having
said .at a public " meetings in London, that
while India possessed boundless tracts of
land with every shade’ of climate fit for the
best productions of tli'e earth-—yet men were
perishingjjy thousands and huhdred of thou
sands from famine, while the storehouses of
the East India Company were .filled with,
bread wrung, fronr tlieir! soil by a standing
army. He says thiitjn 1-837, a famine-in In
dia swept off 500,000 people; and
brought on'chiefly by roblitngitjie
of theproduce of to till the coftqfs
of the East tiidia Company, It is added,
that multitudes starve to death every year
in India, because of the terribly oppressive
'land-tax,-—and that during the fainipcs, un
counted multitudes sell theniselves-aiid their
children into slavery', for buead lo prevent
their-dying by starvation.: The Duke of
Wellington is quoted as having said, that he
knew that in the hut of every Musselman.
•soldier in the Indian army, is a female Slave
who accompanies hint in all, his marches.—
This is a strong picture,.and althoughdoubt
less highly colored, it may well be placed q
motig the list of evils which go to make up
the “Shame of England.”— lnq.
A Heavy Fall of Snow,~ The La porte,
(Indiana) Whig of the 29th u!t,Bays-T-'*Snow
commenced falling in this place on last Sa
turday* for the first lime this fall. Although
a large amount melted ns fast as it fell, it
covered the earth, to the depth of several
indies. Sixteen miles cast of here it was
over two feet deep) and at Niles, Michigan,
we understand it was over three. It is sup

Terms $2,00 for'ike Session. „
THE undersigned being fully aware of the im
portance of having a Daily Democratic Paper,
published at the Seat of Government of Penney 1-
vaniafduring llieecssiona of the Legislature, in
compliance will) the request of a number of their
democratic friends, purpose .to publish the KEY
STONE DAILY, .during the approaching session
on a Koyal Sheet at the lowipnce of two dollars ‘
for the session, or two cents per Single copy.
- The great object lo be attained by thopublica
tion v of a Daily paper,at Harrisburg during the ses
sion of the Legislature, is'togive Reports of the
Debates in the two Houses, on aU important pub
lic questions, more at length than has heretofore
been customary, and to get those*reports out be
foro the public, mora expeditiously than by the’
slow process of a semi-weekly paper. There is
an anxiety in the minds of the reading public to
obtain the earliest informatibn in regard to all pub
lic movements; arid as the measures to be brought
forward and discussed, at tho approaching session’.
of our Legislature, will bo of the very first import- ‘
ance, to the people at large, we conceive that there
can he no more suitable time than the present, for
the commencement of an enterprize of this kind. -
As one of the proprietors of the Keystone is a
professional stenographer, ,and lias long been en
gaged its a Reporter in Congress, in the Conven
tion to amend the Constitution, and in tho State
Legislature, lie confidently hopes that he will be
enabled to conduct the Legislative Department of
tho paper, in a manner entirely satisfactory to those
members whose remarks he may report and the
public at large. He will be assisted by compe
tent reporters, and will at all times attend in one
House himself to ensure faithful and accurate re
ports of debates in the Legislature. The other
proprietor will take charge of the Editorial De
partment of the paper, and. as ho has, heretofore
had considerable experience in conducting a De
mocratic Journal, in another part of the State, he
hopes to be able to make the Keystone acceptable
not only to Ids political friends, but to the reading
public.
We shall also havo a correspondent at Wash-
ington, who will give a daily synopsis of the bu
siness transacted in the National Legislature; and
an.account of all the political movements, which
may be made at the seat pfj.be general government.
. As wo shall incur a very heavy expenditure;
over & above our own labors, in getting our Daily *
and in employing Reporters, Correspondents, &b»
we trust our friends throughout the Stale will ex

The I*enrisylvania Reporter,
WILL be issued DAILY during the ensuing
session of the Legislature; and also twice
a week as formerly, to such of our.subscribers as
prefer the old form and size*
The semi-weekly paper will be two dollars the
session—the usual price. -
Our Daily will be furnished at two cents per
jnngle'Copyrpayable on deliveryt-and-for-two dol
lars during the Session, to bd paid before its final
adjournment. 1
These prices.are extremely low, there being but
little advertising custom in the country. But, be
lieving that the Democracy of tho Suite will be ’
greatly advanWgrd by an earlier and fuller circu
lation of-politicaj information than liasimretofure
been derived frpm the Seat of ami
being encouraged by many of our friends to be*
liove also that sufficient patronage may be obtain
ed to save us from any considerable loss in the cn
terprize, we have concluded to take the risk for
the sake of the important object in view.
We feel great confidence in our ability at the
Sent of Government to make as pleasant and use
ful a daily paper for the general reader, as may be
found elsewhere, at least during tjm sessions of
the Legislature and Congress; anil 1 if encourage*
ment be afibrded us, our arrangements to that end
shall be made without regard to the cost, so that
the earliest and most accurate information on sub
jects of a public nature be. procured, and the char
acter df the paper reach tho proper standard of ex*
cellcnce ip other respects.
Since the Pennsylvania Reporter was establish
ed fifteen years ago, it has yearly contained as full
reports of the Congressional, and nth*
er official proceedings as could be published in a
semi-wepkiy Journal. Tho intention has*always
been to represent all public transactions with im
partiality, and in as intelligible a'form as was
found practicable by close attention and freely
1 making the necessary expenditures. A daily sheet
howevcrwill afford additional advantages, in al*
lowing greater detail incur reports, and more room
■ for miscellaneous reading; and we shall of course
accolpmodate our arrangements for the Sessions of
the Legislature and Congress, to-this increased
requisition at our hands, .
Persons sending us five subscribers and $lO,OO
will receive one copy-for their trouble.
