An Invoice Proposed.

We believe it is an invariable custom
among merchants annually, or oftener, to
make an invoice Of the stock on hand and
thereby, with the aid Of their ledgers, they
can tell with great exactness the amount
Of business done in given time, and
whether, upon the whole, their trade has
been profitable or otherwise.
1t is idle to make the suggestion now,
with the expectation of immediate atten-
ton, to public mind rsving in parox-
ysm of madness; but in the hope of lu-
cid interval before long, we venture the
possibly premature recommendation of an
analogous proceeding by the American
people. That is. we would have them
reckon the number and value of their po-
liticSl rights, privileges and immunities,
together with the amount Of their material
wealth, and whatever else is desirable to
the citizen, or valuable in Government, of
which they were the undisputed possessors
III lno bllue vi 1Als DONdANANg lho last COu~
stitutional President, and then we would
have them make a careful inventory OF
what is left Of their possessions, after three
years of Republican Despotism. This
might require some little labor; but it
would afford very ineligible view Of
the sort of business we have been doing
for the last three years.
We have been glancing over the situA-
ton. and might by few statements pre-
pare the minds Of the people for results
which will very surely Startls them, when
they come to be fully informed of the con-
dition Of affairs.
In Mr.. BUoHAEAH's time, the national
debt was too trivial to be matter of pub.
lie concern. 1t is now (liquidatsd and
unliqnidated) greater than the value of all
the property of all the people in the ad'
herring States; and for its payment there
is mortgage upon every homestead, upon
every horse. aAd COW, and hog, and sheep
and all other articles of property which
the people possess. In Mr.. PucHANAS''
tims the public creditors, and every man
