Homestead Exemption.
We give our renders .to day the Rome
stcad exemption Kill of Minnesota. There
is, as wo oWeirvej quite a diversity oi sen
timent, as to its jusbie-eand propriety. W
entertain the opinion that a rascal will
client yon exemption or y.io exemption: and
this law may shield Honest debtors from
the severity oi' unfeeling creditors^" until
such time as they can accumulate a suffi
ciency to pay their entire indebtedness.—
A.t all events we can give if a fair trial
and if it disappbints$be expectations of its
friends it ^an he repealed.
