The Exemption Law.
Mr. PACKER, Senator from the Lycom
tug District, in presenting a petition last
week signed by citizens of that county,
praying for the repeal of the law passed
last session, exempting from levy and
sale on execution, property to the value
ixf $3OO, made the following philanthro
pic, just and truly dettiocratic remarks :
Mr. Speaker, I do not sympathise with
the player of the petition I have just ,
presented. Ido not believe that the law
Of last session will injure the "poor and
Middle classes of community." I do not
believe that by exempting the last three
hundred dollars' worth of property of
the poor unfortunate debtor from levy
end sale on execution, and by driving
from the door of poverty and distress,
the sheriff and the constable, urged on
by a closefisted, miserly and heartless
creditor, that you injuriously affect the
'interests of the poor. Sir, it cannot be
'true. Do you for a moment suppose,
that you would benefit the "poor and
Middle classes of community" by expo
sing their last article of household fur
niture—their last bed—there last stove
i—or their last cow—to the tender mercy
Of an avaricious creditor 1
If senators entertain such an opinion,
let them comply with the prayer of the
petitioners, and vote for the repeal of
The law of last session, together with all
the exemption laws previously enacted,
and they will promote the interests of
the poor and middleclasses, to the heart's
content of the rich. Sir, so far from
sympathising with the petitioners, I
would extend theexetoption law still fur
ther. And, permit me to say, which I
do with all confidence, that the day is
not far distant when it will be carried
further. The day is dawning when ev
ery family will be protested in their lit
tle ROME, in defiance of the bad conduct
of an intemperate father, or a profligate
husband. The (lay is coming, nay it is
now here, when it will be conceded that
the man with a comfortable, permanent'
home, will much sooner pay his honest
debts than he who is almost distracted
Wirth impending troubles, and who is ev
er at the mercy of an execution.
Many of the States of this Union have
led the way in this humane reform.—
Maine exempts a homestead to the value
of $5OO, and in the absence of a home-
Stead, personal property to that amount.
Vermont exempts a homestead to the val•
tie of $5OO. lowa and Minesota forty
acres of land or a lot. California ex
empts 320 acres of land, or a lot worth
$2OOO. Deseret, the proposed Mormon
state, it is said secures a home to every
family. All the States end territories
named having acted on thili subject
tvtth
in the past few months. Gtorgia; Telas
Michigan, Wisconsin, and Conneileut,
have long since enacted liberal txernp.
tion laws. New York, always among
the foremost in popular referffrs, is also
pressing onward in this matter. I have
before me the dnnual message of Gov;•
ernor Fish to the present legislature of
that great State, to which beg leave to
tall the attention of Senateris. On the
subject of homestead exemption; the
Governor says:
While it is admittedly a priMary
duty Of the legislature to enact laws for
the punishment of vice, ft is no less its
duty to remove the causes which fre
quently lend to the commission of crime.
The impressions made upon the youth
ful mind, by the gentle forte of parental
authority and example, and by the assn•
elation. of the family eircle;areamotig the
most active and enduring of the info- .
ences which control the conduct of af
ter life. Much of the vice that we are
Called upon to deplore, may be traced to
the early removal of Its subject froth the
reach of that authority and example, and
from the innocent, but the Wholesome
nssociation of a home, howeier humble.
The caure of morality; Co less than the
dictates of humanity, demands the prei
ervation of the FAMILY OIRCLE, and the
Maintenance of the FAMILY HOME, as ef
ficient preventives of vice, rind sure and
permanent contributors to individual
virtue and happiness, and to . public pros
perity and order."
Such, Mr. Speaker, are the views of
the Governor of New York. They are
the sentiments of a humane and far-see- .
ing statesman—and I honor him for his
Manly independence in giving them the
weight and sanction of his official sta
tion. Sir, I go with the governor of the
Ehtpire State. I would secure to every
family a HOME and a niakru. I would
not peraiit the covetous and hard-heart
ed credithr to diive his unfortunate debt
or, naked and pentiilessi out Upon the
Cold charities of an inhospitable world.
The laWs that anthorice sudh a proce ,
.dure should be' blotted froMthipages of
file statute books of every state in this
Union—they are repugnant to the spirit
of the age, and tevolting hihrimartity.
Like the 'mita sanctioning itriprisdnment
fOr debt, they should be repudiated by
every philanthropic legislator—they
shciald exist but in the histosy of the
liast—an obsolete idea.
It halt been truly said, Mr. Speaker,
that he who sells out the last little prop.
arty of a wife, and family of small chil
dren, of a rash, heedless, or perhaps
intemperate husband and father, and af
terwards with a cheerful countenance,
goes home to dine—goes horde TO FEAST
ON HUMAN HEARTS ! Sir, money thus ob
tained has a damning curse upon it !
Entertaining these views, Mr. Speak
er, I cannot go with those of my constit
uents who demand the repeal of the ex•
emption law of last session ; nor can I
believe that any considerable number of
desire it.
,From the Now York Expross c) Monday,
Awful Calamity
STEAM BOILER BURSTED.
DESTRUCTION OF LIFE AND PROPERTY.
Between half past seven and bight
o'clock this Morning the vicinity of Cliff
and Pearl street was alarmed by a
explosion which convulsed the Whole
neighborhood. It proceeded froth the
bursting of the boiler of a steam engine
of forty horse power in the Machine
shop of A. I Taylor & Co., trfnunfac-
Hires df steam presses and edginct:—
The explosion, there is etier3 , reason to
believe, was complete, the boiler Hying
intd fragments, throwing the foutidations
apart and bringing the whole edifice titian
the heads of those employed within. The
immense works of Messrs Taylor req ir•
ing large fires, the mass of ruins became
Immediatdly ignited and the flames
tiptead at once to the buildings next
door.
The firemen were almost immediately
on the spot, atid eninmenced work with
the spirit they habitually display ; they
probably never before had more painful
duties to perform.
In the establishrtient of Messrs. Tay
lor were employed More than an hundred
persons, the greater number of whom
at that early hour were probably collec
ted in the several shops and Workrooms.
The fall of the building was so instan
taneous that none, or at least Very fear
of them, were able to extricate them
selves, but the whole personel was. buried
in the mass of timber, machienery, ect.
By their own and the exertions of the
by-standers, however, many were eNtri
cated, without exception we learn, more
or less injured. The names of the suf
ferers it was nearly impossible to learn,
a number being at once seized on by
their friends, who had collected from all
parts of the city and Brooklyn, and oth
ers being so injured as to be unable to
give any account of themselves, and so
bruised and contused as to be almost ir
recognisable by casual acpuaintances.
At 10 o'clock a large number, proba
bly about fifty, had been extricated.
At eleven o'clock, eighteen bodies had
been taken from the ruins, generally so
defaced as not to be easily recognised.
The boiler had just began to grow
warm and the machinery had made but
a few revolutions when the exploston
took place. The boiler was one of Mor
gan's Patent, with upright tubes, and
the force of the explosion was vertical,
passing through the whole of the six sto
ries of the building.
Most of the persons as yet extricated
were employed on the second floor.—
Those on the first floor are supposed to
have been lost. There are innumerable
reports afloat in reference to the number
killed. Some rating it as high as one
hundred hnd others two hundred. It is
pretty Well ascertained, however, that
there were near three hundred people in
the Wilding-IA work at the time. It is
to be hOped that there . Is some exagger
ation in the case, but time only can show
the extent of the damage as the fire is
'prevailing to n great extent, and the fire
men are yet busy on the spot, in endeav
oring to rescue their felleW
crowd of persons in the neigh
boring streets; Oak, Hauge; Pearl and .
Cliff streets, was very pea!, Thou
sands having come from ail parts of the
city. Ationg these were ►many females;
who were hurrying about, asking all
whom they met for some father, brother
or husband, supposed to be. lost. The
scene was one of the most painful we
have ever witnessed; and was enough to
melt the most callous heart.
Curious Litigation;
The Charlestown (Va) Free Press of
last week has the following t'
Wd Venture to shy, that there is a
suit, pending in the Coutt of this Coun
ty, unprecedented in the amield . of ju
risprudence.. About eight , years since,
a highly respectable merchant left the
State with the intention of attending to
some business in the eastern cities, and
having prolonged his visit to ' an unusu
al period, and not being heerd.frOm, his
friends became apprehensive that he was
either sick or dead. Weeks . ; months
and Yeats elapsed, and still hie myste
ribus disappearance could not be explain
ed. His business was carried on 1 ? - 3 , his
brother fol. two or three years after his
departure, and finally,' application was
made to the court for letters of adminis
tration .en his estate,•and they were gran
ted. The adminietrator" proceeded, in
the discharge of hid duty; to sell the
property and collect the debts, and af
ter ho had made almost a full settlement
of the liabilities of the estate, he sud
denly died. An administrator de bonis
non was appointed, and in the course of
three or four months all matters were
clot - cf,• and a surplus left in his hands
aftiouritlng to several thousand dollars.
the court made an order that this sum
be paid over to the heirs of the intestate,
but before it was executed the veritable
dead man MADE HIS'APPEARANCE and filed
his nisserir to the proceeding. HE HAS
NOW INSTITUTED SUIT AGAINST THE EXECU
TOR OF His FIttST ADMINISTRATOR FOR A
SETTLEMENT OF THE LATTER'S ADMINISTRA
TION ACCOUNT. It is something "new un
der the sun" fat a dead man to come to
life.
Chaplain of Congress.
The Washington correspondent of the.N. Y.
Tribune, takes the following notice of the Chap•
lain of Congress, and a sermon preached by him
on the 3d inst.,
Mr. GURLEY preached a plain, old fash
ioned Presbyterian sermon before Con
gress to-day at the capital; and after
observing his inanner and listening at
tentively to his argument, I felt satis
fied that the choice made of a Chaplain
was a discreet one. The object of his
dlicourse was to ineuleate the propriety
or necessity of throwing aside expedien
cy in matters of clearly revealed duty,
and of doing that which is right, come
tvAa . t will. His text was appropriately
taken from
.Dtactat., relatiVe to the three
Hebrews who would only worship the
God of their fathers, whether they were
thrown into a fiery,furnace,or hot. They
had implicit faith in God that he could
preserve theta whatever the danger:
"But if nbt, (said they) be it. known to
thee, 0 King, that we will not serve thy
gods, nor worship the golden hinge
Which thou hast set np. 3 '
Returned recently frorriAfrica, where
he has been aiding the Colonization sys 7
tem, by whiCh he intended to raise the
most barbarous people on the globe IA
the social Seale, Mr. GURLEy conirastO,

citizens of these United States, and .
rightly ascribed to the benign influence
of Christianity the ennobling, elevating
character °four free institutions, and td
the want of religion, the depressed con.'
dition of the unhappy Africans. To the
influences of Bible Christianity he un
hesitatingly ascribed American liberty
and our unrivalled prosperity.
As Chaplain, he thanked the House
for the honor it had conferred upon him,
adding that when the fear and love of
God had united the Representatives of
the Republic, and the principle set forth
the text had been adopted as the rule
of action, the permanence and happiness
of the Union would be thereby secured.
If lie Ventured to suggest a remedy for
their dissensions, it would be the laying
aside their passions, so that all who
turned their eyes to these Halls might
be able to say, "Behold how good a
thing it i, for brethern to dwell together
in 'pity."
The Hall df the House ot Represents
attd It is a magnificent one, was
filled by an tittentite thingregation, and
the strife of opinions on weekdays hap
pily exchanged tor harmony and con
cord. 'the Chaplain is a stout, farmer
looking man, probably above 40 years
old, his hair is getting grey, his voice
and manner are winning and persuasive,
without the least tincture of servility or
affectation. He seems kind, benevolent,
anxious to promote peace and gotid
—unassuming, unambitious. He is said
to have suffered many and very severe
privations, while in Africa; is poor; hits
a large family; appears to be far :nore
earnest about the next world than this;
and neither in prayer nor sermon did he
make the slightest allusion to party
politics. I felt quite at home while lis
tening to Mr. GURLEY.

WASHINGTON.—Feb. 4
The. excitement growing out of the
Slavery question is fast subsiding; and
the belief is generally entertained that a
embproinise will yet be effected on such'
a basis as will satisfy the moderate men
of all parties and sections. It is expec
ted that Senator Houston will address
the Senate to , Morrow, on the Slavery
question: ft . is understood that he will
take the ground that the constitutional
right is not 'vested in Congress either to
prohibit or establish slavery: He is wil
hng to admit all the territories into the
Union' as StateS, as, soon as they have
taken the necessary, initiatory steps,
leaving to the people of the territories .
the settleaterit of the slitVeri qu6stion.
On this basis, he Will appeal to the
people of the North and South to com
promise.' fit regard to Texas, he will
oppose a division of her territory,' unless
Texas agrees to cede a portion of her
territory for a fair equivalent.

is also
understood that Mr. Houston Will take
this occasion to assail Mr. Calhoun; and
Will endeavor to' shoW the inconsistency
of his (Mr. C.'s) political course an the
Various questions now agitating the

The Washington of this mill ,

that the Russian Minister, M. Bodisco,

, A a fiA ' BUIT. STORY."..-A singular, incident
occured, the other day, in Berke County, which
deserves a notice. The Reading papers informs
us that a fellow lost his leather purse, contain
ing a small amount of money in notes, in the
following singular manner. Ho was loading
wood on his wagon, when he observed a rabbit
in the pile,
which he caught. Removing a few
more sticks, another mode its appearance, and ,
in order to secure it, he tied the hind legs of the
captured one with the string of his purse,,and in
fancied security, laid down the rabbit, when it
started off at a fleet gallop with puree and mon
ey.' The countrynian ended it fof upwards of
six miles, when getting eXhausted and out of
breath, he gaVe up the chise. This is a pretty
tough story; but as it occurred in "Old Berke,"
where such things are more likely to happen
than in any other place, it is no . doubt true to
the letter.
