mercantile credit. I think that unfortu- 

 nate debtors, by the operation of that 

 law, by obtaininjj their own persona! 

 liberty, have it in their power to eon- 

 template, by their exertions, the paj'- 

 ment of their debts; and that the debts 

 remaining' always owing by thcni, and 

 all their property being equally liable to 

 the payment of tlie old and the new 

 debts, no injury is hereby snstuincd in 

 respect to mercantile credit.
