Of difference how il Is done but we should all de-
voutiy thank the LoaD for making the Abolitionsts
mad in order that their own downfall might be the
more easily accomplished.
1nsview of these facts, itappears reasonable and
safe that the Legislature should be extraordinarily
careful in regard to special legislation. The regu.
lar course of business and the relations of debtor
and creditor, should remain unchanged, All his
tory demonstrates that stay-laws are fruitful OF
mischief and barren Of good The dishonest profit
by them, while the honest suffer. There will be
no necessity for the cotton loan law-(aad there is
none now, because a better means through the
banks can be devised, in our beI:ef)-if our ports
are opened, and trade begins to flow in its accus-
toned channels. Whenever State commences
issuing her treasury notes, she always loses in
character, tcredit and money. Ali experience de-
monstrates this-and experience is the only safe
guide Let our legislators bearthis in mind. With
a properslien law, to secure aadyances,7the banks
could safely expand to meet the legitimate require
ments Of the planters, even if the views IN regard
to the blockade should not be realized for some
months to come. -s57s#-s =se-s q *~E8
1t has been suggested to us by some of the first
men Of the State that it would be better fer the
Legislature, after transacting such local business
as may benecessary, to adjourn, leaving the great
financial measures already broached, as they are,
with the understanding that the Governor should
convene them in sixty or ninety days, unless a
favorable change in our foreign relations took
place, which would render their coming together
in special session superfuous. 1t strikes US the
suggestion is good one, and we throw it forth for
what it is worth. We have no doubt our patriotic
Governor would entertain the proposition favor
ably.
