In the c__ourse of some appropriate and clas-
sical remarks of the Raleigh Register, on the
festive observance of May-day, we find tl-ie
following handsome notice ofan Act ofthe
Legislature ofNortli-Carolina, that exalts the
character ofthe vir_tuous state which has fur-
nished so fine an example of wisdom and be-
nevolence to her sister States.—.7V'at. Int.

‘But thisfirst of.-‘Hay, 18225, is marked with
a higher degree of interest to the citizens of
North-Carolina, as the period of abrogation
of one of the last proofs of feudal oppression,
which disgraced our country. Our readers
will recollect that the last session of our Le-
gislation was distinguished by passing a law
for the abolition oflmprisonnient for Debt, in
this State, for all debts contracted after the
1st instant, when the law goes into operation.
From this time, (except for previous dcbt,)
no honest but unfortunate iuan can be incar-
cerated at the will of his iron-hearted credit-
or—no innocent family can be exposed to pen-
ury, sul'l'ering, and misery, because their legal
protector has been imfortimrilc.

A retrospective view ofthe misery inflictcd,
under the laws sanctioning iniprisoiimeiit for
debt, is painful to every feeling heart. A sud-
den transition from the comforts of life to a
dark and loatlisoiiic dungeon-—-fair fame
blasted, and happy prospects destroyed ; and
when, after tedious imprisonment, the debtor
leaves the precincts of Misery, he finds his
family stink in thcirown e,stimation,liis friends
grown coldly careless of him, and he knows
not where to seek subsistence. It will be said
this is overcharged: let those who have en-
dured these sull'erings, these privatioiis, see
how far short it is oftriitli.

To the creditor and the debtor, this humane
law will be equally favourable, for credit will
necessarily be more circuinscribed, since the
power of imprisonment for debt is done away;
consequently it will prevent too great an ex-
tension ofcredit, which is frequently thesource
of ruin to small capitalists. The debtor will
be compelled to limit his indulgencies, since
prudence will limit credit. Be it therefore re-
membered to the honor ofotir State,that here-
after, crime, or the accusation ofcrime, can a-
lone place her citizens within the walls ofa
Prison. Esta Perpetual

The Boston Recorder contains a letter frnin
a clergyman, in which he says he has receiv
ed and read the following Circular Letter,and
the Speech which accompanies it, and is free
to declare that the subject has made a very
strong impression on his mind ; and express-

" es his surprise that the law of iriiprisozzineizt

for debt has so long continued to resist the im-
provements which a Christian age has been
constantly making in the condition of man.

‘ BOSTON, M arch 2-‘r, 182:3.

‘ Rev. Sir-Tlie .Socz'cty_fbr the relitf qfllzc
distressed, in this city, take the libert_v to on-
close for your perusal, the Speech ofthe Hon.
R. M. Johnson o-flietituclay, in the Senate of
the United States, upon the Bill introduced
by that distinguished gentleman, for the aiml-
ishinent ofiiiiprisonnieiit for debt. In calling
your attention to this docuuieiit,we hope by the
irresistible firgiiments it contains, to strength-
en and sustain the principles of humanity and
kindness which are every day e.\'tending them-
selves with the increase of religious and mor-
al iinproveinent. A reformation ofthe laws
upon the subject of imprisonment, will pro-_
duce a most important reformation in the mo-
rals of the comniuiiity. It is high time that
thegreat principles ofmeekness, forbearance
and love to one another, taught by our divine
Preceptor, should have some influence in reg-
ulating our civil code. Imprisonment for debt
is the offspring of avarice, and is fruitful in all
uncharitableness ; it has reference to the cold
calculations of interest, and prefers the love
of gold to the love of our neighbor. “Love
thy neighbour as thyself,” is the command-
ment of God ;.butthis law tramples down the
divine commands, and offers up living sacri-
fices ofliuman flesh on the altar of the Gold-
en Calf of its most idolatrous worship.

The society avails itselfof this occasion to
express its belief, that a portion ofthe labours
of the ministers ofthe gospel, may with great
utility be devoted to the application ofits be-
nign principles to- the laws which are to gov-
ern aiid regulate the rigli-ts and libéities ofthe
people. * * *

‘Tlielialcyoii days of a careless minister,

are few in number. The clouds already be-
gin to lower ; the storm thickens ; the thunder
murmurs at a distance; it grows louder and
louder as it approaches; it scttlesoover the
head of the devoted victim ; he cries for help ;
he looks around for shelter ; he has just time
to see that he has none to find, when the tem-
pest bursts in one dreadful peal upon his guil-
ty head,_ transporting his soul on the_ light-
ning’s wing to the bar of God, apd leaving his
body in dust and atoms. Then all his dreams
of ease and happiness are gone ; then his false
peace forsakes him, and a terrible sound, the
cries of souls perished through liisnegligence,
awake him from his sleep, and dispel torever
liis- fatal sltitnbers.’

The recent very serioiis- rebellion at Harv-

DANIEL O’ROURl{E’S DREALVI.

Near the pier head of Margate, stands the
Hoy Tavern: strolling one morning this way,
I saw 4 men very busily employed beating a
carpet in the Connauglit fashion, that is, with
a man in it. ‘What in the name ofpatience
are you doing with that unfortunate man ?’
said I. ‘ Nothing, sir,’ said one ofthem;———
‘ it’s only a bit ofa larlt, sir, that’s all ; you
see that window there, open in that house tip
tlicrc ?’ ‘ Well zir, as we wur shaking this
carpet, this man jumped out oftliat window
there, and we caught him in this carpet, and
wur giving him a little bit ofasliake, and that
is all we know ofthe matter, sir.’ ‘ Your lion-
or, your honor, you’ve saved my life, so you
have ; you never saiv any man so kilt before.’
‘For a dead riian,’ said I, ‘you appear prett-y
lively.’ ‘Och! by the powers; and it’s no
fault oftheirs, your honor, I’m as good as dead
any how.’ ‘I think I have seen you before.’
‘Truth and you may say that, Daniel 0’-
Rourke, sir.’ The last time I‘met Daniel
was in Dublin ; surprised that our second
meeting sliotild be in a carpet at Margate, I
asked him to explain his situation. ‘ Och,
your honor, I’ve been draming, and draniing,
and ’did’nt your honor come in a drame .9’-
Well what did you dream, and how did you
come into that carpet? ‘ Plaise your honor,
l’l| tell your honor all about it. I was bother-
ed all day yesterday; and I dreamed such a
drame! Och, sure, and did’iit your lioiiotir
coinethrougli the clouds in a balloon! Plaise
your honor, I am steward ofthe Polly Pack-
et; and every Monday in a week the Captain
gives the sailors {I treat; and the good mate
and the good drink ofthe captain’s did’nt a-
gree with meat all; Iate so iriiich that Inev-
er would desire to lave olf, and whenl was
home and a bed, I was none the better ofit;
and when I went to sleep, the devil a wink of
sleep could I get for dramiiig all night. Och
I wisliI may never drame such another.’-
‘What was your dream Daniel?’ ‘ Why
then saving your presence, I’ll tell y0u——I was
draming I was coming home from Molly Cri-
nigan’s, the fairy woman, where I had been
to get a charm for the breaked heifer, that
was bewitched, and I drained I was coming
across the Key of Ballanskeugli, and Iwas
looking up at the stars and blessing myself,
when what did myselfdo, but missed my foot-
ing, and fell into the water; that was very
well—thei1 I thought I was swimming away
for the brave life ofme, when I swiinmed on
shore on a desolate island, where there was
water enough to drown Johnny M’Glee, the
Irish giant; that was very well—I sat myself
down, anti set tip a crying; and as I was sit-
ting tliere by myself, a lusty big black devil of
an eagle came up to myself.’ ‘Good morn-
ing, Daniel O’Rourke,’says lie. ‘Good inor-
ning, sir,’ said I. ‘ God save you, Dan,’ said
he, ‘ You also, sir,’ said I. ‘\Vliat are you
doing there Dan ?’ said he. ‘ Nothing at all,
sir, I was only wishing inyselfsafe atBallans-
keiigli.’ ‘ Come get a horseback upon me,’
said he,and I’ll bring you safe liouie to Badlan-
skeugh.’ ‘ Och, my soul, sir,’ said I, ‘here's
persiiadin; Itliaiik you, sir, said I; and I’ll

him, and away he flew with me till he caiue
close tip to the inoon——so then I thought to
set him right, the cause why, I tho’t he did’nt
know the right road to Ballaiiskeugh. ‘Hold
yo_ur tongue, Daniel, said he, and mind your
own bizuess, and dontiriterfere with the biz-
iiess of other people.’ May-be not sir, said
I ; so Isaid no more till he came to the moon
itself.’—‘Take off rue, Dan. I’in tired.’ I
will not, sir said I. ‘ Take off me said lie.’—-
‘Indeed and I won’t sir, said I: had enough,
what will I do?’ ‘ ’I‘ake off me I)an, said he,
while I rest me.’ ‘Och! and is it to fall and
be killed, sir, said I.’ ‘ Get upon the moon
while I rest myself, said lie. ‘And is that the

accept your offer: soI got a horseback upon -

way you would be sarvingnie, sir, said I?‘-—
‘ Never fear, ‘Daniel, said he, don’t you see a
reaping hook sticking outvot“ one side of it?
take a gripe of it, 8:. you’ll come to the ground
like a flea in ti. blanket.’ Iditl so, when what
does himself (it), but turns about, and ‘ good
byeto you Dan,’ says ‘be. S Is that all, you
ugly old brute, says I ;, devil speed the travel-
ler, you are an uniiamral haste, so you are;
is this the way you would be sarving me P--
Well, that was very well ; when out came the
man of the moon, himself.’ ‘ Dan’lO’Rorkc,’
said he. ‘The same, sir, said I.’ ‘What are
you doing with my re'.>.ping-book, Dan 3” said
he. ‘ No harm, sir, only holding on, for fear
I’d be falling off, sir, said I.’ ‘Let go your
gripe, Dan, or else you’d better you had.’--
‘Indeed, and I will not, sir, said I, and the
more yoti bid me let go, sir, said I, the more]
won’t, soI will.’ ‘ We’ll see that,’ said he,
and with that he goes in and fetches out a
large hammer, and knocks olfthe handle of
the reaping hook, and down inyselffalls,t'alls,
like a bird that would be flying»-wlieii itpleas-
ed God to send a flock of wild geese by from

says one. ‘ It is so,’ said I. ‘ I think you are

falling, Dau,’said he. ‘You may well say that,’
said I. ‘ Take a gripe of me,’ said he, and I’ll

bring you to the ground in a way you won’t

fall and be killed.‘ Immediately lsaw asliip
below under me. ‘ Halloo lstop the sliip,stop

ship, Daniel, said they, by the raison we doii’t
know whether you’re over it or not P’ ‘ Arrali,
how shall we know that?’ says I. ‘Drop
your hat, Dan, and ifyou drop it in the ship,
you'll know you’re over the ship,’ said he. I
did so——wlien what does I but looks down and
