MAxIMs OF POLITICAL ECONOMY.

MAXIMS OF POLITICAL ECONOMY.
From the Address of the Philadelphia Society
for the promotion of Domestic Industry, to the
people of the United states.l
/. Industry is the only sure found alton
OF national virtue, happiness and greatness ;
and IN all its useful shapes and forms, has
an imperious claim on governmental pro-
lection.
2. No nation ever prospered to the ex-
tent of which it was susceptible without
due protection of domestic industry.
3. Throughout the world in all ages.
wherever industry has been duly encour.
aged, mankind have been uniformly indus
trious.
A. Nations, like individuals, are in a
career OF ruin, when their Expenditures
exceed their income.
5. Whenever nations are 10 this situa-
lion, it is an imperious duty Of their rulers
to apply such remedies to correct the evil,
as the nature of the case may require.
g. There are few, if any political evils
to which wise legislature, untrammelIed
10 its deliberations and decisions, cannot
apply an adequate remedy.
7. The cases of Spain, Portugal and
Italy prove, beyond controversy, that no
natural advantages, how great or abundant
soever, will counterfeit the balefuI effects
OF unsound systems of policy; and those of
Venice, Genoa, Switzerland, Holland and
Scotland, equally prove that no natural
disadvantages are insuperable by sound
policy.
8. Free government is not happiness.
II is only the means, but rightly employed,
is the certain means Of ensuriDg happiness.
8. The interest of agriculture, manu-
features and commerce are so inseparably
connected, that any serious Injury suffered
by one Of them must materially affect the
others.
10. The home market for the produc.
tons of the earth and manufactures is one
OF more importance than all the foreign
ones, even in countries which carry on an
immense foreign commerce.
IL. 1t is impossible for nation, pos
sessed of immense natural advantages, in
endless diversity of soil and climate-in
productions of iuestimable yalue-iu the
energy and enterprise of its inhabitants--

Miss MooRE has seldom written any thing unwor-
thy of repetition. The following extracts from
her Structures on Education," are quite ap-
plicable, and ought to be regarded.
CafstiN Recorder
Since there is season when the
youthful must cease to be young, aud the
beautiful to excite admiration to learn
how TO grow old gracefully, is perhaps
one of the rarest and most valuable arts
which can be taught woman. 1t is for
this sober season of life that education
should lay up its richest stores. Yet for
getting this, do we not seem to educate
our daughters exclusively for the transient
period Of youth, when it is for maturer
life we ought TO ADVERT Do we not edu-
cate them for crowd, forgetting that they
are to live at home; for the world, and
not for themselves; for show, and not for
use; for time, and not for eternity?
The phrenzy for accomplishments,
unhappily is no longer restricted within
the usual limits of rank and fortune. The
middle order have caught the contagion,
aud this new course of education, and the
habits of life and elegance Of dress con-
nected with it, peculiarly units them for
the active duties of their own very i'm
portant condition, while with frivolous
eagerness and second hand opportunities,
they run to snatch few Of those snowy
Requirements which decorate the great.
This is done apparently with one or other
of these views, either to make their fortune
i by marriage, or, if that fail, to qualify
them to be teachers Of others; hence the
abundant multiplication of superficial
wives and incompetent aud ilIiterate gov
ernesses. The use of tie pencil, the per-
Torrance of exquisite but unnecessary
works, the study Of foreign languages and
of music, require a degree of leisure
which belongs exclusively to affluence
Exceptions however, should always be
made in favor of great natural genius.
The admiration bestowed, the sums
depended, and the time lavished on arts
which add little to the intrinsic value Of
life, should have limitations. While these
arts are admired, let them not be admired
beyond their just value; while they are
practiced, let it not be to the exclusion Of
higher employments; while they are cul.
tivated, let it be to amuse leisure, not tC
engross Iife.''
