National Economy.

: 1t is we'll remarked by ADAM SMITH, that
too great ecoaomy of living on the part OF
the mass of people is a great evil, and Of
ten induces famine; for it leaves no room for
retrenchmcnt in case of scarcity. by failure
of crops or other causes. Thus. if the pota-
to crop fails in ireland, or the rice crop i'll
India, the people have no means Of subs5s
tence; for no food is cheaper than these pre-
ducts, and the people cannot retrench ex-
penses and purchase other food. But peo-
pie accustomed to live on corn, meo', vegeti..
bles and various other products, may, if one
crop fails, live by economising on others, Or
sell a portion of their crops and buy cheap
er food e "a,
We of the South have ever been the most
wasteful livers in the world. Our tables
groan under meats; aid foreigners deride us
for our wasteful use Of provisions ofail kipas.
We habtually consume three times as much
as is conductive to health Now this leaves
US room for retrenchment of expenses
What we throw away on our tables, give to
eur acgs, and riding and other pleasure
horses, is enough, of itself, to support our
whole population. We are never in danger
of famine or of scarcity, if We will but re-
trench expenses and live occasionally as
other nations live constantly. Nine tenths
Of civilized mankind do not eat meat habit
ually, and do not esteem it necessary of
life. More than half OF civilized mankind
do not even use bread as an every day arti-
Gle of living. They live chiefly on fruits
and vegetables. We expect no such neces-
sity here, but it is pleasant to remember
what large margin we have for reduction
ofexpenses, and to recollect, in time of war,
that we might live on much less than we do.
and yet be happy and hea]thful. Sentinel.

A Couple of illustrations.

The annexed extract from late speech
Of Mr.. Cox, Of Ohio, shows him to be a
pretty good hand at illustrating the glori4
Gus cid puritan: Hear lin 80 ,.s
I proprose t. give two illustrations 81
these truths. The first IS in your midst
Every Sabbath you have sermon from
Rev. DR. Cheever, demonstrating that our
failures in battle are owing to the displeas-
ure of God, because of the .;sih Of slavery
[Cries of "Oh!"l He makes slavery the
terrible crime of the world in his own fancy,
and reduces Omnipotence for the task of
Furnishing us by war for it's existence. He
conveniently forgets that there is another
side to the battle, and that when we fail
God sides, by the foolish logic, with slave
holders Il Laughter
Parallel with this logic, turn back to 16-
rs, when Randolph came to New England
from the parent Government, to find out
the cause of the Indian war. The answer
Of the Government of Massachusetts furn
ishes the commentary: 1t officially declar-
ed that "these are the great and provoking
evils for which God hath given the barba-
rious heather commission to rise against
them: For men wearing long hair and per-
iwigs made Of woman's hair. / Laughter
For women wearing borders of hair, and
Disgusting themselves by following strange
fashions in their appatel. For profaueness
in the people for not frequenting the meet
ings, and others going away before the bless
ing is pronounced For suffering the Qua
kcrs to dwell among them. and to set up
their thresholds by Gods threshold contra
ny to their old laws and resolutions, with
mapy such reasons"
Thus it will be seen that the original de-
fects in the Puritan character have been
copied to this day Like the Chinese artist

pened, he followed his instructions with such

Tie following plan. proposed in the Rich
mond Sentinel is worthy Of consideration
and may be advantageous. to our coiamua:-
ty as<veli al to others: we commend it TO
the careful perasaf Of our readers.
Mr.. EDITOR Let NE propose plan
for the citizens of Richmond-to act upou to
counteract the present high rates of the nee
essaries Of life.
Let afhud rbe raised by citizens based
upon retdrn of the capital--with lit rest
when the necessity for its use no longer
exists.
Let good business men be employed, al
a salary, to purchase where. the articles ara
cheapest, and have house kept in the city
for distribution and sale.
Let each stakeholder be entitled to pur-
chase for money; only what is necessary fol
his family; say, SO much; for each person pei
month, and no more. Let the bGlan5s be
fsold to the poor in the same manner. lie
no more be charged to either stakeholder
or the poor, than is necessary to cover cost,
interest and expenses.
Let sum be named, say one,. two or five
hundred dollars, TO entitled citizen to be
stakeholder
Let the military authorities be solicited
to give the company favorable opportunity
OF transportation.
Let the agents, when purchasing, declare
to the producers the objects for which they
are purchasing.
This, Mr.. Editor, will insure the aszck
h holder a return Of bis money, with interest
1t will besides benefit him in the reduced
price of living, and it will feed thousands
Of the needy at half present prices.
This plan has been in operation in Sar
Antonio, Texas, for year, and has work.
ed to a charm, It has ak.o been ad0bted
by similar societies with like results, for the
purpose Of supplying dry goods, &c. &c.
This plan will put down extortion at once
