Reg The Washington States is of opinion that
demagoguism is the great curse of this country, and
that its effects are visible upon all its interests
TIE truth of this statement viii be denied by no
one who hnslooked into .he subject; and nowhere
arc these effects more distinctly seen than in the
radicalsm which pervades legislation. The dema-
gogue owes his success to appeals to the passions
and preudces of the people, and can not succeed
more effectually than by false outcries against
anced privileged classes, and the distinctions be-
tween rich and poor. By these artful appeals the
masses are prepared for the adoption of his radical
measures, under the gllise of popularsing the gov
eminent. The system was begun by bringing the
election of the Judiciary before the people The
multiplication of elective offices multiplied the de-
magogues who aspire to them, and with the increase
of this curse came the rapid deterioration in public
morals which threatens reign of anarchy. In APP
pearing a candidate before the people, each de-
magogue endeavors to outstrp the other in promises
of great reforms by which the dear people are to
enjoy the rights and privileges withheld from them
by some aristocratic feature in the laws and in adj
dition to these promised innovations-not reforms
the candidates, TO ensure success resort to means
grossly Misunderstanding the purity of the bal
lot-box, and corrupting the people by example and
precept-famarising them with bribery and fraud
by frequent contact with those iniquities. In the
halls of legislation, these demagogues attempt to
fulfill their promises by introducing their radical
resolutions and discussing them in manner to give
them FEASIBILITY in the eyes of the thoughtess and
minformed until, by dint of sophistry and appeals
TO prejudice, popular sentiment in their favor is
built up which finally prevails and the demagogue
increases his popularity and influence at the cost Of
conservatism.
Thus, by degrees, the most important elements
in our system of government have been made to
give place TO wild experiments which foster mob
ocracy, weaken the sentiment of patriotism, break
down the restraints of moral integrity, and give tc
the worst political vices the sehblance Of fairness
and shrewdness in the eyes of those who look TO the
conduct of their leaders as safe and honorable
guide. The lower the demagogue descends in the
scale of political trckery, the greater his success
because il is easier to deceive and debauch the null
ttude than to win the confidence of those who car
appreciate his demeris-to rise, he must sink. The
effect Of such conduct is not only to demoraze the
people, politically and socially, but to render the
government unstable by acting most injuriously
upon all its leading interests.

Mr. EDrToR:-I attended an Examination Of Mr.
W. II. FEssEY mixed School, for voting ladies and
boys under 2 years of age, at Antioch Church, on
the 5th, 9Th and 9TH Of this month; and ] take
pleasure in stating that although this Examination
was protracted an thorough, the young ladies and
boys answered with promptness the questions pro-
pounded them, and at the same time showing that
they understood well the subjects in which they
were engaged. They were Examined on Natural
and Moral Philosophy, Rhetoric, Geography, Arith-
metic and Reading. cannot omit to mention the
class in Botany which did themselves much credit
more especially when we take into consideration,
that it did not constitute of the regular studies
but had been taken up by q number of the
young ladies during recess, by way of recreation.
And although | am not patron of Mr.. Fesseys
School, have no hesitancy in recommending it to
Parents and Guardians, who wish to have their
children and wards educated. His School is loca-
ted in a healthy and moral neighborhood.
The next session of his Scool, commencing in
February 1850, will be taught in an excellent and
healthy locality, IN sight of the Church at Antioch.

RfHs We have received coy of the Report OF
thc Bank Of Tennts the leading feature of which
Is long statement to show how the Bank has been
crippled by legislative enactments, and The runs
male upon it by the Union aud Planters Banks,
and an argaAnent IN favor Of closing out all other
banks and making it the Bank This is the darling
project with the President who has heretofore urged
il upon the public as measure of great Importance
to the welfare of the State. But whether it will
be adopted may well be questioned since the demo-
cracy of Tennessee is split into three parties on the
subject of the currency, and it is hardly probable
that either one can control the other two and all
act as a unit upon this particular propostian Nor
is this Report well calculated to harmonise the har-
monious because it opposes all banks but the one
and emphatcally declares the prohibition of notes
OF n less denomination than ten dollars, serious
injury to our own paper issues 10y allowing them to
be substituted by the small bills of other States
The sofs and the hards can not endorse these views
with any show of consistency and the party led by
Che President of the Bank of Tennessee is too weak
to give practical effect to his scheme for subecting
the poitics--the government of the State to the
party in power may settle these conflicting views
and finally adjust the currency upon some fixed
basis, no one can foresee, nor do they know them
selves and that the Report of the Bank of Tennes-
see will contribute nothing towards solving the
mystery, will he obvious to all who read it.

re- movement is on foot in the Legislature
TO amend the usury laws of the State 1t is right
that this should be done, but we are not satisfied
with the details of the bill introduced into the
Senate the first section of which provides that
by consent of parties to loan ten per cent may be
recoverable by law. There ought to be legal rate
of interest-say six per ccut.-to govern in all
cases where the rate has not been specified, and in
settlement of estates and between guardian and
ward, &c; but further than this the law should not
interfere. Contracts between parties legally quail
fed to make bargains, should he as free in borrow
ing and lending rs in buying and selling, and if the
Legislature has no right to say that A. shall not
buy horse for fifty dollars and sell him for one
hundred, it has no better right to say that he shall
make no more than six per cent on his money
The principle is the same; the nature of the con-
tract is the same and the right of the individual to
make his own trade is the same. If ten per cent.
on money, is usurious, ten per cent, on horse
ought to be so too, and the discrimination is an
arbitrary interference with the rights of the citizen
Let six per cent be the fixed rate of interest for all
cases that require a fixed rate, but make man
legally responsible for whatever rate he bargains to
pay; or if the Legislature undertake to protect in
dividuas against their own bad bargains, let it tgo
the whole hog" and embrace horse trades and every
other contract between man and man.

MISTAKE IN PERcESTAGE.-Mistakes are often
made by persons not business men, in calculating
percentage, If a merchant marks his goods for sale
at fifty per cent. advance, and 333 per cent be
afterwards deducted from the market price he sells
at cost because 333 per cent of 81 90 is exactly 80
cents, the profit marked on 81, If he sells goods
at 22 per cent. above cost and deducts per cent.
from the bill for cash. his profits are lsi per cent,
and not 20 per cent as some persons at first sight
would suppose. Goods have been sometimes sold
at loss thTough mistakes in percentage.
