JEFFERsON,s ADVICE

The following advice is coed, and very apFl,ca-
be at the present day. We commend to the atten-
ton of e people, well their servants. Speak
ing Of the deliberations Of Congress Of I7e3, Mr.
Jefferson sad 'Our body was little numerous but
very contentious. Day after day was wasted on the
most unimPortaat questions. a member, one of
those afflicted with the morbid rage Of debate. Of
ardent mind, prompt imag ination, and copious flow
Of words, who heard with impotence any logic not
ms own, sitting near me on some occasion Of tr-
fling but wordy debate, asked me how could SIT il
silence, hearing much false reasoning which
word could refu;et Observed to him. that to re.
flute IN deed was easy, but to silence impossible;
that IN measures brought forward by myself. took
the laboring oar, as was Incumbent on me but that
in general. was willing listen that if every
sound argument or objection was used by some one
or other of the numerous debaters, IT was enough
II not, thought il sufficient TO suggest the omis-
sion, without going into a repetition Of what had
been already said 10y others that this was a waste
and abuse Of the time and patience Of tie house,
which could not &c justified. And bclicre that if the
members OF deiteratiye bodies were 10 observe this
course generally, they would do in day. what
takes them week and it is really more question
able, thar may az first be thought, whether Bona
parties dumb legislature, which said nothing. and
did much, may not be preferable to one which talks
much and does nothing. Iserved wi;h Gen. Wash
ington IN the iegislau OF Virginia before the rev
olutlon; and during it, with DR.. Franklin in Con-
gress. never heard either Of them speak ten
minutes at a time, nor to any but the main point
which was to decide the question. They laid their
shoulders TO the great points, knowing that the lit
tie ones would follow Of themselves Ifthe present
Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be
otherwise, in a body to which the people send one
hundred aud fry Iaryers whose rade it is to gues-
ton erery thing, yield nothing, and talk By the hour
That one hundred and fifty lawyers should do busi-
ness together, ought not 10 be erpected."

TIE PRESIDENT OF THE STATE BANK

The President ofthc State Bank has always been
commended for his good intentions in the snpcryi
sion of the branches. But 1t charged by the
committee Of investigation. two years since that he
scoidcd very well, but his acton inefficient.
One or two of the branches have received his de-
nunclations because they suffered directors under
protest to vote for loans and accommodations. VIII

of the junto near has pe'son still throw dust into his
eyes Can the "Dires' of the Branch Directory

specter of persons. We shall not be accused of

REL!EF.-A correspondent writes from Gibson
county on the subject Of the relief Of the people By
the Legislature. We approve of every sentiment
expressed in his communication and he may rest

while we have communal, a steady and direct course

we Judge for the public eye" yet We are almost
tempted to lay it before our readers We must do
50 in part. The writer says: The people must re.
leve themselves they must make more, and buy
less of the merchants. ] have always thought that
when the Legislature undertook to leg slate the peo-
pie cut OF debt that they got them deeper think
proper course would be, IN The first place, to move
a reduction Of the WAGES Of public officers. There
would be GOOD common sense IN that for two dol
lars is worth more than three dollars were,
when their wages were raised, and perhaps more. "
Ths we second with all our hearts We 20 fur

where they can be shown TO be too high, but we 90
for reduction Of all useless Offices such as yield
nothing to the public, and could well be attended

way thousands OF dollars be saved the people.
The people nave seeo and felt the effects of wing
policy long enough. They have found, under VIII 2
manae cement officers and their srlarcs increased to
eat out their substance and they are prepared now
to examine and correct their former errors. That
other projects which may have tendency to re-
pair the OF wing legislation, and eventually to
bring relief to the people be suggested ty the
Legislature, we fcndly believe. That the Legisla
ture will do so, We confidently anticipate. vt any
rate. things cannot be than left by the last
legislature.
