Dir. Editor,-Aftcr reading the proceed
ings of our present worthy Legislature, and
also the extract published by you from the
United States Internal Revenue report, ii
occurs to me that our State seal might not
inappropriateIy be changed. confess that
the idea is not entirely original, as all VIII
discover who recollcct the once famous cry
in this country of "millions for defence, not
one cent for tribute" Let us forthwith change
our Sic semper, &C., to "Four millions Tor
whiskey, not one cent for debt"
AS retrenchment is the order of the day
Except in the legislative per diem. of six dol
lars, work or no work. it would be unneces'
sary to change the seal, only having all eX'
planatory act passed stating that the PROSTATE,
figure represented the creditor who has aided
in building our railroads, canals, and turn
pixies. On second thought it might be adyI-
sable to change this tigure-say to a sea gnu,
otherwise some supplemented people, seeing!
this figure on its back and being trampied
upon, might think it symbolic of the present
condition of our State faith and credit.

Per Diem.

We have always opposed the Buncombe"
propositions i'll the Legislature to cconomis,
iy cutting down per diem and limiting tn,
lcugiA OF sessions. Legislators whose service.
are worth anything are poorly enough pai5
t,r tilc sacrifices they make, and the people
deserve to be punished 10y paying the worth
less representatives they may elect.
Those men who come to the Legislature
uIion small merits, and who have To seek for
The means 10 please the popular ideas, are
fruitful in invention. They seldom omit /,
move AGAINST per diem and mileage. The,
10 ~ with no expectation that their PROPOSE.
tjous Will prevail. Indeed, amongst ali tho
luc.Ghcrs none would SO much dcplorc Re.
duction of compensation TO the legislator,
n themselves. 1t would almost break thcil
hearts. We speak generally. OF course ther,
ar. exceptions; but precious few. They get
the benefit OF the demagogical device. and
they draw al the ray. We never heard Of enc
who was SO Conscientious that lie would moi
take more than lie publicly declared was sutti-
cicnt compensation for all. Gentlemen often
inlpetuously asSail constructive mileage
yet they are always defeated, and never fail tc
take the mileage!
II gentlemen will devote themselves to thu
public Interests, and when they have finished
their work adjourn promptly and return K
their homes, the State can we'll afford to pay
them. Her pay for honest and faithful ser
vice should never be nggardly. But whel
time is wasted with Buncombe schemes an(
idle debates about matters only intended Il
blind the people, the pay would be cNtrara
giant if it were reduced to fifty cents day.
This housing over mean economy on The
one hand, and wasting time and public money
in yapil wranglinS on the other, is the great
crime OF legislation. If people would look
wei! TO the candidates for their votes, and be
guarded against electing those who pirate eX.
cessiycly about economy, and who seek posi-
ton more upon the dement's of others than
upon their own merits, they would save The
State from some most improbable and pes
tiierVus men.
