observe, that knowledge to be acquired oy

abroad. 1.-THE mind he thus properly traih'
ed, learning will be great and Vaiuaoic az
ouisition, but in itself it is but small part OF
education When we admire the hero's''
and patriotism of the ancient GreeHs ana
Romans, we should recollect that tneir sys'

| The imperfect provisions in our acts OF
Assembly relating to apprentices, induces me
to recommend this subject to your carly at
tention. Some specific Legislative regulations
seem to be necessary on the part oi the mas
ter as well as the apprentice. 1t would DC
well to define how far, in all cases the as

of the matters which occGr on this SUBJECT :
many more will present themselves Oh fuii

The issuing, and circulation Of bank notes
under five dollars ought to be prevented.
The pretence is want ot change; but tie sup
pesed remedy produces the evil; tor i the
small notes were not to take the place ot sle-
Gle, change in silver would be plentiful &nt|
sufficient Many such notes are counterfeit,
and this loss falls on the holder: maay OF
them are destroyed and thus gain is made
! by the banks to the injury of others. In the
late report Of the Secretary Of the lreaanry
to Congress, we are informed "that dircc-
tions have lately been issued to all the re-
y CcIVeTS ana COlleCtOIS III lnC IDipil1 iNftl'bN-
not to receive in payment made to them, bank
notes OF any Of tho St,te Banks, of less a
mount than five dollars - and he says "in
discountenancing a species Of paper circula-
ton dee ned to be Objectionable, reference
was had to the authority OF Congress upon
this point, AS seen in thc prohibition to the
bank of the United States and to the banks
existing in the district Of Columbia against
issuing notes of a lower denomination" The
, benefit and security Of the people seem to
advise such a prohibition on the banks in
this state and an absolute inhibition Of the
circulation OF any such notes OF any bank out
OF this State.
