JEFFERSON ON PAPER MONEY.

Il am sorry to see our loans begin at so eNhorbitant an interest. And yet even at that you will soon be at the bottom of the loan bag. We are an agricultural nation. Such an one employs it's sparings in the pur- chase, or improvement of lands or stocks. The lcndable money among them. is in the hands of executors and guardians, and that which the farm CT lays by till he has enough for the purchase in view. In such nation there Is one and one only, resource for ioans, sufficient to carry them through the expenses of a war, that will always be sufficient. and in the power of an honest government, pHnctual i'll the preservation of it's faith. The fund l mean is the mass of circulating coin. Every one knows. that although not literally. it is nearly true, that every paper dol lar emitted hanishes a silver one from the circulation. A nation therefore, making it's purchases and payments with bills fitted for cireu lation, thrusts and equal sun of coin out of circulation. ''--.Iefferson' works. Vol VI. P. l39.

In this way. l am not without hope, that this great. this sole re- source for loans in an agricultural country, might yet be recovered for the use of the nation during war. and if obtained in perpetnm, it would always be sufficient to carry us through any war: provided, that in the interval between war and war. all the outstanding paper should be called in, coin be permitted to flow in again. and to hold the field of cir culation until another war should re- quire its yielding place again to the national medium. .'-.JeffersOn' $ works, Vol. VI.

termingled with sprays of the famous

orchards. where. rising from the dry,
cleanly-kept SOL, there were thou
sands Of peach-likc trees in straight
rows, still without leaves, but in full
bloom. The whole area was one vast
sea of pink or peach-color, and the
January air was full of the humming
bees aud lazy butterflies which were
here finding SO much to eat that life
seemed almost burden to them, AS
with some other species then IN bloom,
the almond-trees had been encour-
aged by the dry, warm winter, and
had blossomed earlier than usual.
This is dangerous event, for, should
the subsequent weather be cold aud
wet. the fruits blight, and the crop is
much injured.
