Order, frugaIty and economy are the necessa-
ry supports OF every personal and private virtue.
How humble soeyer these virtues may appear to
some, they are nevertheless the basis on which
liberty, Independence and true honour must a.
rise. He who has the steadiness to arrange his
affairs with method and regularity, and to COM
duct his train Of life agreeaby to his circumstan-
ces, can be master Of himself in every situation
into which he may be thrown. He is under no
necessity TO fatter to lie TO stoop TO what is
mean, or to commit what is criminal But he
who wants that frmness of mind, which the OBJ
servance of order requires, is held in bondage to
the world. He can neither act his part with
courage as man, nor with fidelity as Christ
ian.

ANXIOUS PoPULI, who addresses hm-
self 10 the speaker and members Of The
Assembly, Is much embittered against
those persons called shavefs, and worid
denounce iii anticipation all those WHO
may think and vote against Gen. Black
buru's bill. Those who think with hIm
and Gen. b. may be right, for aughi
know but for one should be glad Ia see
the usury laws wiped from the statute
book, and our legislature decline in Ia
ture 10 regulate The price of money for
us, any more than they would anv other
article OF trade or traffic in the market.
Ii must he extremely regretted 10 see
any such bill pass the Virginia legislature,
as will make il doubtful i'll almost every
sale which we make, whether we are moi
taking more than legal interest, and there
by evading the law. The more gureason
able does II seem when we all know that
rothiag has a determined aud Interchangeable
value, and that the market or actual rates
for every species IT articles are continually
VARYING.
l. il wrong that we, as individuals, en-
deavor 10 get the highest prices which we
can for the produce, the merchandise
&c. we may have 10 sell the slaves, HE
horsrs or the money which we may have
10 hire; or the land, or houses and lois
hich we may have TO rent +! Or that we,
also, endeavcr 10 purchase, TO hire or 10
rcni at the lowest which we can? Accord
ing as the market happens to be supplied
with either OF all Of these articles 10 sell,
TO hire, or 10 buy, will they be high or
low. Why adhere 10 the feudal and ex-
ploded doctrine of attempting TO regulate
The price OF an article which will not be
controlled by all the governments on
earih2
If mistake not, the parliament of Paris
once decreed what the diet of all French
men should be. How preposterous !
but hardly more so than TO say what tie
price Of interest shall be, or wliai religion
we shall profess.
Besides; what business have our rulers
with private contracts, but TO enact laws
| for their performance Can any law in
validate them if fairly made and express
| ed Ii ought not.

time The change of names should not,
