PAY the Bills,

This is the season when, ty common Gus
tom. the credit sytem develops itself almost
universally, in the presentation Of bills. We
cannot do better, in connection with this in
:eresting subject, and in view Of the general
stringency of the times, than to advise all
who can do so to pay such bills with the ut
most promptneSs. There should be ct any
time as little delay in these things as the
nature of the case will admit Of. The pro-
per examination or every account should te
made, and upon ascertaiuIng Its accuracy,
the best thing to be dcue is to ray It. bill
presented Il; the time it is expected Is fully
due. and the demand is then a ut one, &C
cording to tie incest theory OF the credit
sestcm, and delay is III just. Bills are ex:
pectsd on or about The first of January, and
fall would resolve to pay them at once,
great relief would lie Immediately expert
enced IN all the avenues Of trade. Indeed,
we are confident that if every man who can
lay the ILLS presented to him at t1is season
would do sr, the tappicst feet would toIoF.

ed by the Oaio Editorial Convention, at its

vauced by the President in his message, and

by himself and the Secretary Of the Treasury,
to lcgalize the issue 0! twenty millions
of rags" We have also expressed conf
dent opinion that the financial estimates OF
Mr.. Cobb, for the next yGar-lnd'a-halt, will
prove largely III excess Of the actual receipts
If the government. We have nevertheless
justified the issue of treasury notes 10 n i'm

reducing the extravaganza Of the public ex

to observe that these were substantially the
views urged upon Congress during the pend
