Western Sun & General Advertiser, Volume 21, Number 27, Vincennes, Knox County, 14 August 1830 — Page 3

yinoi:nes, august 14, 1830.

In the first page of this day's paper, I have commenced the publication of a sejics of essays upon the subject of public education. The subject is an important one, and the time occupied in reading them will not be niispcnt ; I shall continue the publication until all are

51 vcn.

I have received a statement of the votes for governor in Illinois from a number of counties the result appears as yet to be doubtful. ; o ; o : o - o : o ; o : c It evidently is a favotite object with General Jackson to pay the national debt, and give to the nation its first moment of absolute and entire independence, when we shall be left free to shape our course of legislation, as to the finances and condition of the country, best to subserve the highest interest of all One of the first duties of an individual is to ,mv his just debts i he has tire means to do so ; and he is not justified in hazarding his capital in adventurous speculation?, to the prejudice of his creditors, nor to postpone the payment of his debts, that he may embark hs means where the result is problematical as to loss or pain, and where, in the event of loss, it either goes to a total inability to meet his engagements, or to postpone to an indefinite period the liquidation of Ids just dues. The same reasoning is applicable to nations, as it respects the point of justice involved; and it is difficult to conceive of a course of policy that would go to divert the public funds from this legi tima cend, and, in so doing, contravene the paramount demands of justice "Was not the President, therefore, right in placing his veto to the bills that he not only thought unconstitutional, but that vent t encourage an appropriation of the public finds to an extent that would inevitably have postponed the payment of the national debt, if it had not led ultiu.ately toils increase ? It is a well established fact, that there is a class of politicians in our country who lean to the most defective principles of Great Britain, and, among other heresies, believe

that a national debt is a national blessing. It is very easy to glide into the practical operations ot this principle by an unskil ful course oflegislation ; and we think it was fully exemplified in the history of the last session of Congress. There vere, at one time, bills in transitu between the two Houses, that contemplated the appropriation of near thirty millions of dollars for internal improvements, when it was known tint the estimated receipts into the Treasury for the year were but a fraction ovei twenty-four mil lions, and out of this v3s to be applied ten millions on account of the national debt, besides the incidental expenses of government. Let us not be told that Congress always legislates with a reference to regulate the disbursements of government so as to have thcm'comejwithin the compass ot its receipts This is not the fact, as it will be seen that the appropriations of the last session exceeded the estimated receipts between one and two millions of dollars. . The embarrassment incident to government appropriating more than received, can only be met by one of two measures; loans, or direct taxes The first goes to increase cur national debt, and the later to impose new burthens upon the people, Both are odious, and deserve to be carefully avoided. We contend that General Jackson is right, first to pay the national debt, and then lessen the tax upon the people. If, then, in the tide of full success, the people shall deem it expedient to have an overflowing treasury, and that its redundancy shall be applied to a great and well digested system of internal national improvement, their vrisdom will guide them to correct results, and their better experience will be their safe guarantee.

Geld ?nincsin Georgia, and the Cherokee nation. We were yesterday sliown a phial full of gold from these mines, of a beautiful color, with various specimens of the stones and sand in which this precious mineral is lound. When the cry of "gold mines" was first sound ed among us, no person dreamed, not even the most sanguine, of the extent and quantity of the minetal, which ex isted in the country, and most were dis posed to regard the whole subject as a matter of ridicule. But w-arc assured by a gentlemen, v. ho has had tfie best opportunities of knowing, that for, some time past, (until very recently, when the Cherokee mines were abandoned pro tern, by order of the government) gold has been obtained thcic and in the county of Habersham (Georgia) at the rate of a million and a half of dollars fier annum. " Single pieces have been found, which were tvorth 875 or 30 each The following facts are furnished us by the gentleman above mentioned. Jonesbouo, (Ten ) June 26. Tcre Gold.

CHANCERY

A feverish anxiety has been manifested by some of the politicians of this city to ascertain the result of the late State elections. This is by no means surprising, as their calculations, so far as returns have been received, have proved erroneous. We advise them to be patient, as the evil they sought to avoid

j will be manifest quite as soon as the

have anticipated. It is already obvi-
