DEBT ND CREDIT. I dislike tbc tvholo matter of debt and credit from my heart I dislike it; and think the man who first invented a ledger should be hung in cfligy, with his invention tied to his feet, that his neck might support him and his works together. My reason for thus sweeping at the whole system is, not that I believe it totally useless, but that believe it docs more mischief than good, produces more trouble than accommodation, and destroys more fortunes than it creates honestly. Theso opinions are not of a recent date with me; they are those upon which
I sat out in early life, and, as I grew old

and their State, will throw us off our guard
l,ut they must not depend too much up
on that.
Gen. Ewing and Col. Lars are middle aged men, and good speakers, we had little opportunity to hear them, and only attended to their remarks in the papers. Col. Lane is a very attentive industrious member, and made an able speech upon
the Dcpositc question, on the legality of which, we have never passed an opinion; for the best reasons, we are unqualified to judge be that as it may, the Col. displayed much skill in the management ol the question.
Gen. NcCarty we are somewhat troub-
cr, I became more and more confirmed in icd him. Something seems to be
them: not that I changed my practice,
while I held fast my profession, and got my fingers burned at last, by trusting my name in a day-book, for I never did it, because I saw the evil elTects of credit around me in every shape and form. A visit this morning, to my old friend Timothy Coulter, called the subject up so forcibly, that I concluded to write you a line upon it. His last cow was sold this morning by the constable, fcr six dollars though she cost him sixteen; and they have not left an ear ot corn in his crib, or a bushel of rye in bis Lbarn, much less any of his stock: it was what is called a winding up of the concern; and he is now
on his good behavior; for I heard one of
his creditors sav, that, if he did not iro vc
ry straight, he would walk with him off
to the county prisonship. Thus has ended Timothy's game of debt and credit. When he first commenced farming ho was as industrious and promising a young man as was to be found ; he worked day and night, counted the cost and pondered on the purchase of every thing. For a year or two, he kept out of debt, lived comfortably and happy, and made money; every merchant, that knew him, was ready to make a polite bow: each knew him asoneof3'our cash men, and liked his custom. The mechanic shook him by the hand, and begged his company to dinner, hoping to get a job from him; and even the lawyer, in contcmplatiou of his high character, tipped his benver as he passed him, with a sign, as iru.ch as to
say, "Tim, you have more sense than half
the world, but that's no consolation to us." By some fatality, Thimothy found out, howevsr, that that there was such a thing as credit. lie began soon to have many running accounts, and seldom paid for what ho got; it soon followed that the inquiry, "do I really want this article V before he bought it, was neglected ; then the price was frequent!' not asked; then
he began to be careless about pay-day; his accounts tood, he disputed them when rendered, was sued, charged with costs,
nnd perhaps, sluy, with interest too; and
he became a money borrower before long; but his friends after a law suit had brought them their money, were ready to trust him
again, and he was as ready to buy. The same farce was played over, until now
the end of these things has come; and, poor fellow, he is turned out upon the wide
world, without a friend, and six miserable
babes
I asked the constable for a smht of the D execution and he showed it to me. It was
issued by young squire Bell, and I could
not but recollect how diliereut was the
history of this man from that of Thimo
thy. Young Bell was a poor boy, and
commenced his life with nothing but hcaltl and trade; but he adopted as a sacred ma
.im,"Pay as you go;-1 and he frequently
told me he found little diihculty in stric
king to his text. The necessaries of life are few, and industry secures them to every man; it is the elegancies of life that empty purse; the nick-nacks of fashion, the gratification of pride, and the indulgence of luxury, make a man poor. To guard against these some resolution is necessary; and the resolution once formed is much strengthened and guarded by the habit of paying for every article we buy, at the time. If we do so, we shall seldom purchase what our circumstances will not afford. This was exactly the manner in which Jack Bell proceeded. Habit strengthened by long continuance, and supported bv reason became second nature. His business prospered ; his old purse became filled with Spanish dollars; all his purchases being mado for cash, were favorable; nnd by always knowing how he stood with the world he avoided all derangement in his atlairs. He is now the squire of a little village, with a good property, a profitable business, and the respect of all who know him.
the matter; whether he is smitten with the charms of some ladv the U. S.

John Tipton last session, and that he refused to meet us at Bladcnsburii. Since that we O have, through the interposition of friends become reconciled, and arc now as thick as two pick-pockets. Seriously Senator Tipton is one ot our best men, always ex ccpting Senator Hendricks. Though those infamous slanderous Tcmpcrcncc

Phenomena for Naturalists. An aged neighbor of ours, in a conversation this
morninr, observed thattac present season t
was a very warm one; the air having a
peculiar dryness that he has heard of
but two or tnrce swarms of bees coming out this season, in this country, and that
they immediately Hew away that he has
seen but one yellow-jacket and no hornets i
that the squirrels are so numerous as to devour whole fields of corn, and have be
come, in a manner, so domesticated that
they will play on the trees, be thev ever
so near an inhabited house that the black and white oak trees show many acorns,
but that they, although apparently of full
size, are empty. Weekly Messenger.

erties were menaced in 1793. lis principles are 1. The Declaration of Independence, mud the Constitution as maintained and illustrated by Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. 2. That our eorerment is constituted of
three distinct, co-orumate, responsible Classes of functionaries: J. The Legislative, in a Senate and House of Representatives. II. The Executive, in a President. III. The Judicative, in the courts established by law. 3. That neither of the authorities can in-
fringe upon, assume, or deprive either of t4J others, of the functions, powers, or dutti
assigned by the Constitution. That a charter granting privileges to issue pieces of paper, instead of money, ii a breach of th public pledge, by the Constitution: affecting property, exposing it to an arbitrary or capricious fluctuation. That the coinage laws forbid debasement of the gold and silver coin; and the debasement incurs a penalty; and usurv on money
I is also made penal, it operating as a debasement, by deduction from the established
purposes of the coin. - That the paper unlawfully authorised to be issued, reduces the universal powr of gold and silver, and is also made the means of exacting usurious interest for the use of paper, in violation of all the rights of property, and of those guarantees which are the objects and cuds of society, constitutions, and
laws. At an early period of our government, persons adverse to freedom, and invested with trusts under the government, caused innovations which have grown into abuse, upon the absurd and pernicious common law notion, that the principles of the constitution may be settled by construction like the practice in courts of law, in a country which has no tangible constitution, and w here judgments and opinions are in perpetual conflict antt contradiction. This spirit of innovation aimed, at a verr
early period, to divest the execution of its constitutional authority, by constituting the Secretary of the Treasury a second executive, in derogation of the Constitution; that this gross and unprecedented innovation has operated ruinous mischief, at three several
periods of our history!. The charter of
