can shut his eyes to the fact, tha, tho debt
in which the state is involved, contacted
for the benefit Of the banks, will not and
cannot be paid by those institutions. But
the state is not yet irretrievably gone and
a proper course of the legislation will re-
store her prosperity. 1t should not how
ever continue to grope in The dark. The
strlctest inquiry should be instituted into
the condition of the resources OF the banks
for whose use the debt was contracted
and their applicability to its liquidation
fully ascer,aned. And if, upon eXaminn-
ton, it shall be found, as We believe it
will be, that the state at large has not
been benefited by the creation Of the
debt for which bonds have already been
sold, immediate measures should be taken
to prevent further disposition Of the state
bonds, now held by the Union Bank
The state has no means in hand with
which to pay her debts, as they may fall
due. Heretofore blind reliance upon
the ability of the banks has obtained in the
state Legislature, bat it is now time that
the subject receive that consideration
which its paramount Importance demands.
If the debt must fall upon the whole COM
munliY, why let them know it at once,and
in due season, let the state prepare for is
payment.
No proposition can be more simple than
that it will he better for the states 10 lose
FIVE, than fifteen millions of dolars--that
it were better that the state should pay
the former sum than the latter.
In considering this subject many i'm
poriant questions naturally arise, having
a hoaring directly and indirectly upon tho
public veal. Its thorough investigation
may induce Mississippi to abandon the
borrowing system, daily becoming more
obnoxious TO the natural ri hts of commit
mites, and TO stand forth as The champion
Of reform, in every essential in which are
involved the interests Of her citizens, and
the unaIienaJle rights of man.

A bill has been introduced before tho
Legislature Of Georgia to stay the collec-
ton Of debts during two years. II has
very appropriately been called bill TO
legaize swindling, and render the state
infamous. An attempt Of the same kind
was once made in Kentucky, when tho
ctlze"s of that state were involved 10 pc.
cuniary difficulties. The results Of The
experiment should be warning TO all the
sister states. The condition of society,
superinduced by the passage Of the obnox-
lous law, was infinitely worse than could
have been occasoned by debts amounting
to live times the value of the property in
the whole country. The fierce struggle
between the Old Court and New Court
parties, has taught Kentucky some useful
lessons IN legislative economy, which will
be remembered to the latest generations.
A law proposing TO stay the collection of
debts can never find many advocates in
that state, so long as the memory of the
hard times" remains. Fortunately, how
ever, for Kentucky, she was saved by the
integrity of her judges from the full mea.
sure of evil to which the establishment Of
the tlaglllous system must have led.
The Legislature passed law staying
the collection Of debts, bui the Supreme
Court declared il to be law impairng
The obligation Of contracts, and therefore
unconstitutional Finding the Supreme
Court TO be immovable, the party Of disor-
ganlzers in the Legislature, with the view
of carrying into effect their nefarious pol
icy, determined to remove the Judges. TO
effect it they had influence enough TO re.
peal the law creating the Court, and esta-
blshing another tribunal in its stead, the
bench Of which was filled with a new set
of Judges. Kentucky was then blest with
two tribunals, both pretending to be su.
preme-the Old Court contending that the
repeating act was unconstitutional, and
could not divest them of their judicial pre-.
negatives; the New Court setting up claim
under act Of the Legislature organizing
and establishing that bench as the highest
judiciary in The state. The mischief
which grew out Of this conflict may rea-
lily be imagined. The whole population
If the state Immediately took sides with
'ne Court or the other, and a political
struggle ensued, never surpassed for ran
,or and violence in the United States,
which kept the country in state Of riot
md anarchy for several years. Atlennth
he sound sense and honesty of Kentucky
Prevailed. The New Court was nut down
the obnoxious law repealed, aud the
eign of justice and honor restored. But
bis triumph was not achieved until Ken
lucky had been desolated and impoyerish-
'd-her credit lost-her responsibility
essened, and an accumulation Of evils SUI
'erinduced, from which twelve years of
uninterrupted prosperity have scarce de-
ivered the state. Let Georgia profit by
he example.-N. O. Bulletin.

Zion Hill SCHOOL.

TIME exercises of this institution com.
= prise the various branches of'an Eng.
lish education. The method Of impur,ing
instruction TO the scholars, is ON a pIa5
differing essentially from the old mode.
and is believed to be preferable to it.
One Of the objects Of education, and no.
the least important, Is the cultivation IF
the feelings, which is frequently overlook
ed, and can never be effected BY rash and
auslore treatment, which only tends to
sour the temper, and render the DISPOSE
tion ungoyernable. The human mind is
so constituted that il receives instructions
with more facility, when nctuated by d
principle Of love and independence, caused
by wise and prudent mana cement, than il
does when under the dominion Of fear, en-
gendored BY degrading and unnatural pun
ishment. II is,therefore, believed, that rea-
son and persuasion have more salutary
influence in combating the bad habits
contracted by children, than punishment
n, any kind, and that they are the only
stimulants siecessary for the good govern.
ment and advancement of a school.
