tery Review, of October last, on /" Mlsss- |
sippi Affairs an exposition and vindica-
uon of the people of this State, relative to
the repudiated Union bonds 1t may be |
thought untimely and useless to recur to
this matter, now that the case is in all pro-
bability finally settled; but we are among
those who believe that Truth cannot be too
often iterated whilst error is PREVALENT
There are, too, many new comers to the
State who have no knowledge of the cir
cums:a noes of the creation of the so-called
debt, other than such as has been derived
from men abroad who denounce blindly,
through ignorance or knavery, the doctrine
Of Reputation, under any circumstances.


The article from the Review is prefaced
by some sound and lucid views Of the pow
ers OF Government, particularly with re-
ference to the power OF creating Public
Debt. We are firmly convinced that the
Funded Debt system, as praCtCed by Eu-
ropean monarchies, and thence transplant
ed thither, is worse than highway robbery
worse, because it is unmitigated robbery
of persons unborn. In this republican
country, the remedy lies with the people,
and 1t is right, morally, religiously right,
nay, sacred duty, that they should eXer-
else it. The mass Of the people, the far
mers and mechanics, can never be Iegisla-
ted into wealth. Equality Of rights and


privileges in the dispensatons of govern
ment, is always the true interest of ma
jority of the people, and the utmost boon 90
vernment can give, is the privilege 10 en-
JOY the largest possible portion of their


earnings. " The best government is that
| which governs least which is least felt
by its eXactions, which guards the life,
rights and property Of its citizens, and
! leaves wealth to be distributed by merit
and industry. A people who look to bank
! ers and fundmongeT5 to enrich them, ine-
vltably raise up aristocratic orders to plum
der and rob them. The inconuptibe mass
should be ware Of the ingeniously woven
net of IDEAL wealth and paper credit; or
being fraudulentIy involved in its meshes,
should lose 10 time in breaking the bond
age-eIse from gorgeous dreams of wealth.

ters of a monied aristocracy, and unlortu-
