duty of every CITIZEN and especially those who hold
State and Bank securities to stand by the Treasurer
in his work of economy and reform, and aid him in
reducing the State debt as much as possible. The
State should be liberal her soldiers and liberal to
the poor, and just to her public officers in her ap
preparations; 5ut not one dollar should be wasted
Or unnecessarily expended. Every channel into
which money is extravagantly or uselessly flowing
should be stopped. We must carefully husband our
resources or we shall soon have none. Remember,
gold is still the standard. Our debt must be paid in
gold or its equivalent. Let US think of that, and
act accordingly, when hundreds of thousands and
millions asked for. Mr. Worth thinks of it, and
hence the wise suggestions contained in his Report

MR.. POOLS RESOLUTIONS.

The resolutions presented in the Senate on yes
terday, by Mr. Pool, of BERTHE, will probably call
forth one of the NEST able and interesting debates
nf the session. We lay them, therefore, before
readers, that they may weigh their Import Our
limited space to day farbids such notice of them
as we might desire, yet the gravity and importance
of their subject matter, enttle them to thorough
discussion.
As Conservative, devoted to the established Or
der CT things-to the Constitution and the laws, we
cannot be expected to support any proposition which
contraveres or infringes the or the other. The
issue of: war or peace IS committed by the Consti
tuition to well de fined parties whose prerogatve it
is to declare the efectuate the other. We de-
sire no charge in this wise provision.
Mr.. Pools resolutions look to peace, a consumua-
ton we all most sincerely desire. The horrors Of
this war have become ruinous enongh-the thirst
for blood has been Sufficiently gloate,i to lead all to
,esire its cesSa'.,n. How to bring it about is the
desiGeratum. The resolutions propose rev scheme
it corcrdeS entirely the control of the common
government over the question. 1t admits the ef-
forts OF TIE President and his readiness to secure
peace. These so far, have been nnavailing. Other
projects have mscarried because of their tacit dis
position to assume that which does not belong to
them. Others which have been proposed, were in
direct conflict with the Constitution and the dignity
and perpetuity of the Confederate government.
Against Mr. POOLS scheme none Of these obice-
tons lie. 1t invades the authority Of none-as-
sumes no power, no prerogrative adverse to the
powers that be, but suggests easy, and so far as
we can see an uno'jectionable platform, upon which
the beigerents may if they will, talk about peace.
If it should fail IN it's laudable endeavor no princE
pie is compromised one is injured, and no ex-
DenSc need be incurred
We are not sangune, if our sister States and the
President should consent that anything practicable
will result. Yet it is worth the trial. We will at
least have taken one step in addition to what the
President has already done, to effect peace. The
effect of the proposition mnst be good upon ths
North and also upon Europe 1t can harm 10 one.
The resolutions brief, that at fist blush
some may object but little consideration and ex-
planatio1 ss ,o the plan, will remove the difficulty
