The Religion of Paying Debts,

The following remarks from two con-
temporary papers, contain lesson worthy
of serious consideration.

They can never make it right, and all the
bankrupt laws in the universe can not
make it right for them not to pay their
debts. There is a sin in this neglect as
clear and deserving Church deciplne as
is stealing or false swearing. He who
violates his promise to pay, or withholds
payment of debt when it is in his power
to meet his engagement, ought to be
made to feel that in the sight of all honest
men he is swinder Religion may be
a very comfortable cloak under which to
hide; but if religion does not make man
deal justly, it is not worth having"

southern Independence. .

The ridiculous farce of forever talking
about, and never doing anything to de.
velope our own Southern resources, Is
well satirized in the following. A South.
ern painter, who has been indulging in
dsunion notions, took an inventory of
his household and plantation stock in
trade, and the following is the result, as
communicated to the New York "Journ-
al of Commerce"
/ have been planter for a good many
years, and was considerably startled at
the result of an investigation in my own
family. On examination of my expendi-
lures, one year with another | find that
nearly three fourths of my income has
either directly or indirectly found its way
into the hands of Northern men; and
believe this to be true of majority of
the producing classes here.
Il am aroused in the morning by the
bell Of clock hailing from Connecticut.

my feet into a pair of Massachusetts, shoes,
and, as | join my family at the table,
everything that meets my eye, except tho
faces so dear to me, is all Northern.
My coffee, which has paid toll to
Northern importer, been parched over

dances Northern organ or Northern
fiddle lends its inspiring strain.
Whether we ride or walk, sit or sleep,
we do all, my Northern friends, through
your kind assistance.
81 take a look at my sour visage in
Northern mirror, stamp my foot on
Northern carpet, and rush out Of house
which was constructed with Northern
tools fitted with Northern doors, sash,
blinds, glass, &C., painted with Northern
paint, furnished and adorned throughout,
from cellar to attic, with the work of
Northern hands. i mount Northern

changes, and host OF other charges"
1t is a great pity, says the Georgia Com
stitutionalist," that Southern planters,
and merchants of of the South, have not
been startled" by these facts at an carli-
er day. They have harrangued contin.

Missouri Convention Act.

The bill for calling Convention Of the
people of Missouri received an immateri-
al amendment in the Senate on Friday,
in which the House concurred, and the
bill was finally passed. The clause sub
mitting tho acts of the proposed Conven-
tion to the vote of the people reads
thus:
"No act, ordinance, or resolution shall
be valid to change or dissolve the politi-
cal relations OF this State TO the Govern
ment of the United States, or any other
State, until majority of the qualified
voters of the State shall ratify the same

as they have been asserted atsome former
epochs of our history it is manifest that,
in the present attitude of affairs, no good
could possibly result from such courses;
and it could not fail to be attended with
the saddest of calamities.
Thus you see some of the reasons for
the fdiM that is in me, and the ultimate
purpose of an appeal to the people. In
the meantime, however, the friends OF
the Union must not sleep. Never in the
course of my life have felt so forcibly
the remark of Mr. Burke, that "when
bad men combine, good men must unite
to oppose them. else they will fall, ore by
one, an unpitifed sacrifice in q contemp.
tible struggle" When, therefore, the peo-
pie take this matter in hand, as these are
sure eventually to do; with a disposition
all around to withhold nothing that is
wrong, they will set at naught these per-
nicious mischief makers, whose thrift has
been to fonaent the quarrel between them;
will adopt better counsels and more JUDI
cous counsellors, and like two goodna-
tured champions, after a hard fought bat
tie, will become more friendly than be-
fore. Such, at least, is my hope.
Remember me kindly to our friends
Tell them to stand to their post, and don't
give up The ship.

Monetary Pressure in Europe.

The great drain of gold into this coun-
try-Sl0, 0.000 within few months
and the position of the Bank of France
have made the Bank os England raise its
rate Of discount to seven per cent, which
is unusually high. The Bank of France
had taken similar step. This restrictive
measure, which was unexpected, immedi-
atcly affected the money markets in Lon
don and Paris, and would inevitably cause
great depression in the prices of public
securities. Already it had depressed not
only the prices of Consols in London, but
American railway stock, together with
bread stuffs, produce, and cotton. The
recent news from the United States has
had a depressing effect, no doubt; for
whatever cotton, breadstuifs, and Tobacco
England and France must get from us, the
principal payment will be in specie while
our troubles last.-Philadelphia Press.
