Many of them were contracted on terms

greatly advantageous under the agency of

the houses of the first respectability.

whose liberality and confidence knew no

bounds.

This confidence was ixiven to our young

country because our resources (in no de

gree axaggerated) were considered immense, and because it was thought, as we

are of the Saxon family, we were essen

tially a debt paying people. Jndeed, from

an observation, which a larger residence, for the last five years, in Europe than in America, enables me to make, it is quite obvious if wo bad paid the interest on our foreign debt that the rato of that interest would have fallen gradually to the level of that paid by some of the oldest and best established States in Europe, and that for objects of well-founded public utility, and even of private enterprise, our industry at home might have been almost indefinitelyrnrigorarcrj mt of" the lorgo surplus" capital of this country. You will say, 1 am sure, that this faculty of borrowing has been a great curse toourown. This. I admit, is true to a certain extent; but it was converted into a curse by the action of our (iovernuient on the cur

rency of the Ended States. Under judicious regulations and prudential guards, a state of things more propieious. to the development of the resources of a x'oung

country like oars, borrowing of an 0

one like tins, us capital to invigorate us labor, at a low rate of interest, cannot

well be conceived. If the profits of labor transcend the rate ut interest, it was

to create capital at home. From what

atiL per cent, precisely double the amount

of our proposed loan, one farthing of

which the united States commissioner

will probably not be able to negociate.

Denmark and Belgium, neither of which

would be scarcely a breakfast for the hungry slouiach of Brother Jonathan on a frosty morning, can borrow at 1 per cent, w hat they want, and England and Holland, with the principal of a public debt, the payment of which is likely to be contemporaneous with the discovery of perpetual motion, can borrow just what they want, at and under .? per cent. , because they pay their interests, and tax themselves to pay their interests. As a statesman and patriot, I am sure,

mv dear sir, you will say that this state of things must not be permitted to last. No

country can continue in the worst species of insolvency, a bankruptcy in its repute.'

without losing that self-respect wmch is

life salient of all that gives vigor and re

nations and posterity will hold the uov-

nrnment of the Union morally responsi

ble for the character of its members, al

though the forms of our Federal system

a legal liability

may discharge it from

for their engagements. Admitting the potency and the extent of the evil, yon will ask what is the remedy? This, my good sir, is precisely the question I am about to ask you in the form of a specific inquiry, w hether public opinion throughout the Union, may not receive such an organization by the action of Congress, popular meetings and the press, as to induce thr. defaulting slides to luhl conventions tJ.is winter, comprehending those who have negociated loreign loans, who nevertheless have met punctually their dividends, that by united action they may induce the Legislatures of the several indebted States to impose, and the people to bear, such taxes as shall

provide the means ot paying tne interest,

and establishing a sinking-tund for the

gradual extinguishment of the principal

of their public debt? I cannot believe

that these appeals to State pride, and na

lional honor, would be unavailing. lou

1 1 . n - '

see that I lay out ot account mo as sumption of the State debts by the Fede

ral (iovernment, becauso.L oien. fear, if

this expectation were held out, the defaulting States would do nothing of themselves,

and the exigency has not yet arisen when such an onerous responsibility ought to be assumed bv tho National (Iovernment. so

unjust to those States who are faithfully

paying their debts, and to others who have perhaps been far wiser to forbear

contracting any. although I can conceive

a state of tilings in which such nssump

tion as a measure of finance and National

policy might be eminently expedient.

I am gratified to inform vou amidst this

convulsion in the credit of the severa

States, our own S.uth Carolina, "wears

States, with the arm of Sampson, and al

most "with the self same weapon, too, when we recollect all the twaddle of-the old gentleman on this subject. He, as

Burke said, was certainly a ''consummate architect of ruin," in his time and tide, and had the happy faculty of impersonating a corporation "in his mind's eye," for the purpose of hating it as cordially as lie once did you and Mr. Poinde.xter. When, therefore, Mr. Fiddle entered into a contest with this hero of two wars, be forgot the w isdom of the Spanish proverb: "He who sits down todine with the Devil should

eat with a long spoon." What has been the result of this feast, in broken meat

ind empty plates, you well know. It has

left our country palsied indeed hungry

in flesh and poor in spirit. I doubt, since tho creation of the world, whether such an

example can be exhibited as we have pre

sented for the last sixteen years of follv

and mis-government. No Southern planter would permit his plantation for one hour to be governed with such a lack of till sense an. 1 pro idenee. The Call'ras and

Hottentots, in reference to their con.ii

blood if it could recall the fatal past. But ibis is impossible. Let us look with courage, and resolution to the future. I believe you have, as you had at the close

ol the late war. the resources of mind and spirit to lift the country out of its present deep decadence. Yes, niy dear sir, I believe your ambition and your genius are on a level with all that is yreat

and glorious in human action and enterprise. The field is before you take the

lead in some great public measure, wheth

er it be a bank of the United Stales, or an exchequer agent; it is immaterial, so that

it shall restore confidence, invigorate in

dustry, give toustm abundant, sound, circulating medium. and drag up from the deep

the drowning credit of the States. Do this, and if the first honor of the country does not await you, its last blessings will rest on your fame. I remain, my dear sir, with sincere esteem, very respectfully " and faithfully yours, J. HAMILTON. P. S. I shall be out in the next Hallifix

If the defaulting States would only practice on this doctrine, the smallest imposition would produce an amount abundantly sufficient

to resuscitate tueir credit. Occupying the position you do, I sincerely hope, my dear sir, that your in fluence throughout tho Union will be brought to bear on this great National question. We all know that our countrymen are essentially honest. because rTiey are essetially sagacious as well as, in the main, right-principled, and require merely a proper direction to be given to their exertions to make even a heroic eifort to re cover and sustain the charectcr cf the country. But, auxiliary to these efforts, something more remains to be done by yourself. It is to lend vigorously the powers of your own genius, and the impulses of your own patriotism, in your appropriate sphere, the Senate of the United States, to create and establish a sound circulating medium throughout the Union, convertable into specie, but in sufficient abundance to elevate the standard of value from the dreadful depressian to which it has fallen, and. in fact, to be adequate to perform the exchanges of trade and value in our country. " Whether this be a bank cf the Unite' States or an issue of a redeemable currency by the Federal Treasury, is not of so much comparative importance, as that we should have an abundant uniform circulation from some source or other, which, making allowance for the variation' in the balance cf trade, shall be of equal valuation in New Orleans and Boston. This circulation, in lbs recess of thai financial w isdom which is past Ending out. was destroyed by our friend General Jack son, when he slew the Bank of the United

A country of immense resources, in a period of profound peace on the verge of bankruptcy! Any man who will read Hume's essays on "1'ublic Credit" and on '.Money," can be at no loss to trace our present condition to its true cause. We have been suifering ever since General

Jackson destroyed the Bank of the United

States ( with the exception a short period c

hstempered mllalion created by his own

measures) under a steadily diminished

circulation, which the eminent philosopher

to whom I have referred has declared to

be one of the worst calamities that can befall a civilized country far more dis

astrous "than the continued blightof ttn

result has been first in the constant action

of the Federal Government, or their sup

States, which created a universal panic,

that has compelled the banks to withdraw

their circulation, and next the Genertd

Government permitting to remain in

under the tender gripo of the Sheriff, the moral justice of General Jackson's Mcnioriable apothosysm will be but a dry crust, "that those who borrow money ought to break," a doctrine out of which their creditors are likely to derive as little comfort as themselves, although it must be adm tted that the General tried all he could to secure the blessing to the country. But. nv good sir, the day of reckoning must come. The account will ho adjusted now or by posterity hereafter. One of its first sums will be to settle what the victory of New Orleans has cost us. These are generally expensive pageants any how. Bonaparte probably never achieved one for La Belle France, except to the tune of twenty millions of francs: to say nothing of the lots of "cracked crowns, and bloody noses" he left en the field of battle. But his victories, in cost, were no more to be compared to the victory of New Orleans, than a penny whistle is ,to Baron Munchiuson's celebrated clarioft under an April thaw. 1 calculate that the victory of the Sih January cos; us fivd millions of dollars beside the small expense of entailing upon the country, "a set of drivellers whose folly has la !

OUR YOUNG MEN. BY CHARLES HOLDE.X.

w hat an important period of life is

that in which our youth pass from boy hood to manhood. With the mind in

great measure imdisciplined often see

ing things through a false medium ant

mistaking the glitter attendant upon fash

ion and frivolity, to be far more desirable

than the teachings of wisdom and often with no one to guide them aright it ought not to be a matter of surpnse that

sometimes a lad is lost on the rocks that

lie along his path, from the day ho starts a bright, unsophiscated boy, from the hearthstone of his father's house till he is enabled to say, 'I am of age.' At this

time of life, when he should be most pro tectcd from the wiles of the unprincipled

and the fashionable vices of the world,

he is then the most unprotected! Cir

cumstances crowd hira into new and dangerous scenes to fit him for a livelihood.

and with the good principles inculcated

at home not securely fastened upon him:

he breaks away grudually trom them ail:

and a tew years serve to cbstnap his

whole character, which budded so fairlv

and leave nothing but a wreck of an ingenuous lad, for parents and friends to weep

over.

Our young men must guard well the

tirststep in error, and so should their protectors for them. It is in the first error

that lays the foundation often for the most

horrid crimes. It is the first rdass that

ias laid th e foundation for the most squalid drunkards that ever ruined themselves

wi'h strong drink!

The period from boyhood to manhood,

s-hould bo passed in some cmn'ovm oil

... j which requires much of th 1 time. Idle

ness is the hanfi ol young and ..hi. but es-

peciadv the young. It gives them time to

think f an l devise schemes that oftrii ruin!

W hether a boy be learning a trade, or

studying for a profession, I would exhort him as a true friend to beware of idleness. x our occupation does not take up the whole time, (and it ought not;) devote the leisure hours to reading. If you have not a t3ste for it, acquire one, by reading entertaining books; join the youthful societies of your place and if there are none, endeavor to stir your companions up to forming them they are harm

less.

One word more. Do not imbibe the foolish notion, that the life of a farmer or that of a mechanic is less desirable than that of a clerk or a professional man. The life is honorable to which circumstance evidently point you. The public feeling in this respect, may be inferred from the fact, I saw stated in a paper a few days since, that an advertisement for a clerk in one of our cities, brought three hundred applicants while one for an apprentice brought but three! This is rdl

wrong; and young men must correct their notions in this respect, or suffer for them through life. The discipline attendant upon acquiring the necessary information to become a farmer or a mechanic is of the highest utility; it developrs the physical system and makes it a healthy fj tuple for the mind to occupy. The young man who rises above the vulgar prejudice that there is any tiling di-honored or degrading in that life which requires the exercise of those physical powers which God has so nicely adjusted in the human "ystem, will hardly fail to make his way in the world. The time h coming when the number will be but few that will not agree with me in this respect, and like all other truths, it must prevail.

For instance, everything in schoolbooks, social remarks, domestic conversation, literature, public festivals legislative proceedings, and proper honor, ull teach the young soul that it is noble to retaliate, mean to forgive an insult, and unmanly not to resent a wrung. Animal instinct-, instead of being brought into subjection to the higher powers of the soul, are thus cherished into more than

usual activity. Of three men thus educated one enters the army, kills a hundred Indians, hangs their scalps on a tree, is made Major-General, and considered a fitting candidate for the presidency. The. second goes to the sotith-wef-t to reside, some 'roarer' calls him a rascal a phrase not misapplied perhaps, but necessary to be resented he agrees to settle the question of honor at ten paces, slioois Ins in-

sulter through the heart, and is hailed by society as a brave man. The third lives

in New York; a man enters his ofiice.
