We regret to learn lliat in tho in- telligent District of Abbeville, there are aorne who are in favor of "nbrogntn g by: law all private debt*.'* W«- understand (hat it is urged upqn the ground that U'e emancipation of slave* has deprived duhtor* .of Alieir principle itetp of property, and tb.ere'ore tlie njeans of paying debts. The proposition, as we are informed, in not limited to debt* contracted for negroes. the property taken away.bijt extends to all debts contracted before as well a? during the war. As thus stated Uie idea if* boili novel and extraordinary, and the reiiflon assigned for it is, if possible, still more ex« traordinary. It seems to be thought tlmt because our people have lest a large part of tlieir property, it would mend the matter by takii g from them another portion. Tliat because they have heen mad^ pour, it is now neees-ary for their prosperity tliat Ihey should give up their honor hI.ho. Jf this could previiil, fear, the next propo . iiion would he to givtMip the Undn also, and all toke an even start. The right of piop*rrty, hs all niuar. admit, is ihe firnt element of civilisation. This springing operation is discreditable hs being unprecedi nted in history.Reparian in principle. 7 mm mi I'uppi IMC 111 IHUI* Unprecedented, because this in not repuriintioii, once so famous or rather infamous. That wa* bad enough and covered with disgrace certain Western State-* of the Union. That wan the refusal of h State to pay its own debt. and pleaded in initiga ti«n, (hat the debt was coinracted by fmid ulant ngenta and without authority. But in litis case it is proposed thai the State *hsHl by law abrogate the private contracts of her citizens. When in tho bisiory of the world was such a thing propered be fore? Agrarian because debt is but the* repro tentative of properly, *»>d is as s^-rt-d n* ilial which it rfpie^enta. Tlitf mm wlm is in possession of a plantation hnn no nv>re right to be p»otei:lrd than the Individual who sold tlie place, and holds llie m>te ol the possessor. It is the same in principle to rote the land away as to conBscnte its value. The next step after voting away your neighbor's note, is to vote \ourself bis (arm. Ill both cases unadulterated Fohhery through the forms of law ! Unsound in policy, because it would be unequal and unjust. We.have lost nearly everything but our character, let us not wantonly relinquish that. We are going buck into the Union, let us carry with ur at least our old fa>hionerf nnlini.n of »m»K mid integrity. The creditor is a*citizen an well »» the debtor, and as mncli entitled .to the protection ol the State, which should not he a mother to one and a step mother to the other. Honesty is the best policy. We need the credit, which nothing but a pood name aff.»rd!», to obtain the ntt-ann of recruiting our shattered condition. Wh.» would gue credit to a people, covered alt over with the ii famy of attempting t<> uurrguo private contracts. .'We say attempting to do it, for it i* i.ot not only unjust and inipolitiu but impotsi ble. If every man in Abbeville District were clamorous for it, tlie tiling could not be done. We mean that i> c.annotbe done by law. If any go<»d citizen has the desire to cancel bis claims upon bis debtor#, he may do bo. No one wuu d have «n interest in it or the right, to ol-jegi. Uut it. can't be made Cum|>nlxi>ry by 'law. The (Jons'itution of tbe United States prohibits it, and any lit# of any Legislature or nny Ordnance of a Convention a'tempting it, would bo install Undeclared uncmi>tituLiunal sn<i sr t aside. The Brat article ol tbe tenth section provides t-<nt "no state sliall pass any bill <>f attainder, ex pott facto law. or lav> imvairinn the ahlinntinn. V A V """" of contracts," dec. J'his Ojiibtituii-in is tucdiug on us and is ihd «upr me law oi the land. That ends ttw matter. It ip true, and pity 'tis ttu>*, that the coantry ^greatly exhausted and itnpoveiished, but the remedy is in indulgence to dehiors, not abrogation 'of contracts. Execution* should be staid lor the present, and war debt* ratted according to a proper tcaje. fins will afford the relief which the country «o much nreds. - .* jruMCiUiU.*BOCI&i< APfTHY.

. We regret to learn lliat in tho in-telligent District of Abbeville, there areaorne who are in favor of "nbrogntn g by:law all private debt*.'* W«- understand(hat it is urged upqn the ground thatU'e emancipation of slave* has deprivedduhtor* .of Alieir principle itetp of property,and tb.ere'ore tlie njeans of paying debts.The proposition, as we are informed, in notlimited to debt* contracted for negroes.the property taken away.bijt extends toall debts contracted before as well a? duringthe war. As thus stated Uie idea if* boilinovel and extraordinary, and the reiiflonassigned for it is, if possible, still more ex«

traordinary. It seems to be thought tlmtbecause our people have lest a large partof tlieir property, it would mend the matterby takii g from them another portion.Tliat because they have heen mad^ pour,it is now neees-ary for their prosperity tliatIhey should give up their honor hI.ho. Jfthis could previiil, w« fear, the next propo. iiion would he to givtMip the Undn also,and all toke an even start. The right ofpiop*rrty, hs all niuar. admit, is ihe firnt elementof civilisation. This springing operationis discreditable hs being unprecedinted in history.Reparian in principle.

Unprecedented, because this in not repuriintioii,once so famous or rather infamous.That wa* bad enough and coveredwith disgrace certain Western State-* of theUnion. That wan the refusal of h State topay its own debt. and pleaded in initigati«n, (hat the debt was coinracted by fmidulant ngenta and without authority. Butin litis case it is proposed thai the State*hsHl by law abrogate the private contractsof her citizens. When in tho bisiory ofthe world was such a thing propered before?Agrarian because debt is but the* reprotentative of properly, *»>d is as s^-rt-d n*

ilial which it rfpie^enta. Tlitf mm wlm isin possession of a plantation hnn no nv>re

right to be p»otei:lrd than the Individualwho sold tlie place, and holds llie m>te olthe possessor. It is the same in principleto rote the land away as to conBscnte itsvalue. The next step after voting awayyour neighbor's note, is to vote \ourselfbis (arm. Ill both cases unadulteratedFohhery through the forms of law !

Unsound in policy, because it would beunequal and unjust. We.have lost nearlyeverything but our character, let us notwantonly relinquish that. We are goingbuck into the Union, let us carry with urat least our old fa>hionerf nnlini.n of »m»Kmid integrity. The creditor is a*citizen anwell »» the debtor, and as mncli entitled .tothe protection ol the State, which shouldnot he a mother to one and a step motherto the other. Honesty is the best policy.We need the credit, which nothing but a

pood name aff.»rd!», to obtain the ntt-ann ofrecruiting our shattered condition. Wh.»would gue credit to a people, covered altover with the ii famy of attempting t<>uurrguo private contracts..'We say attempting to do it, for it i* i.ot

not only unjust and inipolitiu but impotsible. If every man in Abbeville Districtwere clamorous for it, tlie tiling could notbe done. We mean that i> c.annotbe doneby law. If any go<»d citizen has the desireto cancel bis claims upon bis debtor#, hemay do bo. No one wuu d have «n interestin it or the right, to ol-jegi. Uut it.can't be made Cum|>nlxi>ry by 'law.
