In a Editorial unider this. caption. our friend of thie Palmettb Banner yeIterJay made the following reriarks: "We regret to see s''meohipo-l'eide'st'and alile'st free tradr_. papers ofithe South yield ing to.the plausible bt deceptive notioi that ibe remedy for the. South iq to mar.u fpeture for herself. and to liern (o. :Jive withij .ierself. We are not disposse to discourage any branchi of 'mechanical in dustry which ;n'y prov.e profitaible to those Who uidertake it,' but we.cannot consept at this late day, and in tbe present advanc ed stage of conroercial enterprize anid prosperity, 19 go back to theold. expfoded, ridiculous "ederal doctrine of. making every thing we wan,, ind bujing nothing 'rom our neighbors. .1I. cansee no good reason why the people of the South should rot be alluord to plant Colloi.'if they can make more at that, than they can at ipin ning i4 nor why they should notb'alloierd (o buy calico and .are handles from their Tankee neigdors, if they cain buy them for lis'th'n it could cost to make )them for NIeM'selves. We see tio reason' why we 'iould'hrnv away the peculiar advat,itages we. possess as the only country t tlhe world where cotton can be extensively. and successfully cultivaited, to go t a mautifac. turin4, a business only resorted to in dense ly iopulated cotnutries h'Wliere the soil cannot iupport the inhabitants." "We regard every : ctdry established at the South he a fatal i IW struck at Free Trade, and. if It is not also a covert blow at the institutioi of sla'very itself, wetihall be agreeably disappointed." Now we differ in toto from our friend both in his premises, his.cinclusions, -and is proposed policy' for t he Sontttl.ern coun ry ; helievi'g that the devojon in the cu ure of Ine s'tple only has greatly crippled ite cnergiee, and driven off the population rom the n der Southern States. This 'we had thought W2as universally onccded now-and we are therefore sur . 3rised that one to w'ell infruned and prac idal as the Edlitor o'f the Banner.should eommend oyr people to-pursue a course which has alrealy' proved ruious 'it so rinany of ou.r planters, and settled Alabama, I:ssissippi, and Texas with emigrants rom Virgini., North anid South Carolina. rhe'question is not, Can more he made' lhy >lanting Cotion than spianing it? but. kn more be rfiade by a conbination - of he two, by employing a part of, our labor o colivate the staple, anid the surplts ihor to c'nvert the raw material into nantfactured goods for home cosuinp ion ? Numbers of our most intelligent plant rs and most sagacious citizens agree in ffirning that-here is now an orer-produc ion -of Cotton, which depreciates its price mnd renders the labor eunjloyed' upon it valueless to the producer. The laws of rade, regulated by supply and demand, hos ore made to- wot k againt the pro-du .er, aud the legitimate fruit of his labors is ost to him. So strongly has the necessity fi some diminution of production imnpress d itsetf on the minds of the plinters, thii various suggestions for -shortening the omitg crop-have been made, and a Con vention Yor that purlpose called for. . To remedy this evil many of the citizens of the South have diverted their labor into other channels, and our Factories are ruund to nork well in giving employient to labor, ant remunerating profits to those who employ it. This question is a practical one alto gether, and hot a political one; and 'we imagine that there is but little danger to !e apprehended eith4 in. th'e cause or Free Trade. or to Southern Institottons. becatuse lnar is diverted from unproli'ahle into profitable channels, and -Soutthern planters pocket the proceeds of' their own industry, instead of paying tribute to the North. True the machinery of oar Factories irn tll, and the directors of them in sotte. are Northertn; but a very shortl time will allow us to dispense entirely with the services of the hatter, and a prudlent regard for their ownt comfort will tmuzzle them frrn ibis chiefutost affectually wile they -remuairn amo'ng us. Witt regard to the other forms of man ufacturing indusitry, all of whici oui- friend disposes of at "one, fell swoop-." we think that the decided direction" of the putilic tmind that way nfids the best commten tary on their utility and nteces'sity.. The qtuestion simply-is :Can we make at honme a hetter and a cheaper article than can'be fornished from te North ? If we can, and no more profitable emoplognient of the same labr can be made, then there is an eud to the tmatter. People i:idoi what is most consonant .to their own .interests, and the instincts which cause radical changgs in thi hipbits and occuipations of commuuities are never niithout strong motive causes. Our own view of this-matter wye have too strenue ously asserted over and over agaip, to be mnisapprehemmded. Otur belief is, that: the only way of strengthening the South.and repdering her independent, is bydiversify ing the forms of labor, ad producing at home all that we profitably can. Southern labor needs np protectjon. nor will Sotith ertn institutions,.if our labor is made proli *able and not all forced violently into one narrow channel, already filled to over flowing. The tone of the Northern prtesu lo refa tion to the new impulse given to manufac turing and mechanical labor It the South, imm.....ses unly more strongly with its i.m'poaance. They all e*pfess surprise rhat the;Sboth had not t6ou'gh-t (if it befdre instead oTvstamding like a' patient sheep tr hse sho'ri or 'her ~goldqn fleece:-that they sho'tild rejoic4 at a competition which is tc cut oil' ihe .prnftis ihe 'so long hhve mo. no'polized. iA giving rhen credil for'mdre self-sacrifide that we 1del disposed to at cord .h.em'. We join issue th'en with our friend oi ihe B'n ner, on .hi t'nattor, and think he has sufflered the old Carolina prejudici for Cotton to carry him too far. We too be; lieve that the 0manifest d'estiny".of ihe So'th is Agricotral in d great measure -but We ard also convinced, that th con fine labor to that alone,'wonld malie her a desert wilderness, insteid or a garden, in the bourse of fifty years more. For Fact'orie' and Factor-labor, (whith er of Cotton, axe-handres or %#ooden no tions.) we have but. little fondness com pired with the invigorAting aid.heilli c'ulture of t he earth-bu .lie -stern.necessity of nt ovdr supplying the f arkiet itli one article and buying all others abrond at ruinous expense, forces upon us' the con: viction that the more our producrs are diverified the better it is-for us. A very wise man once said that "he wh6 made two bladesof grass grow .wheionly one grew before, was~ a benefac:or ib his species," so *e saythai he wfio can idevise and perfect new and profitable 'hn6des of etnploying labor, and ch'eapeiting the ne cessaries of life, is an equal benefactor'.and should be equally encoitraged. PUBLIC OFFICES AND PUotBC FUraNs. -There is a, laXitV in the distihdrge 'of public duties by the'men appointed by the' Ptaie to fill her offices of trust, which shoallibe as promptly remedied as possi ble. Bad debts to the State'accumntiate rapidly without having that attention paid to them which 'they require, and the very obvious result is, that the taxes of rhe ieo, ple must fe increased in proprotion -to the increase of the "bad or doubtful" list. The Bank' of the State has lost somethir)g to the people in this way, and that i one ele meit Tn her compan~tiion which should aid. the people in pronouncing' ullon her fate. Our attention lis been called to ihis inexcusable indillererice to the faithful lisdhargi of pttblicduties by an exhibit of nr-old debts of long iland ing, considered bad or.doubtiful" in iii la'st annual eport lb toit' - -p-. rthe arge' um 5vinearlyjrfljy rhousafid dollars considered lost or at least ditibtful in the State. The most of iis Is fr6m sherifT. tax coll.ectors. &c., wh'-se term of office is 'short, and who Rive to the State ample security against loss. It. is evident, therefore. ihat a large portion of thcse had debts mi-ght have been saved to the people of the Stato. had promptness been used for their collection. This targe tpoiont, of course, has been accumulating for years ; and we only no tice it as an evidence of the facts, tttat in ffices under our governm'ent this system ofleakage, from neglect tends to increa-e tixation. We do not know whose busi ness it is to apply the remedy oi to make collections; but we 'are of opinion that much might be annually.saved to the State by dilligence in her ptu-blic officers. With regard to State offices we fear tlat it is becoming too common to elect meu, *ho, however good in other res pects, are not 'qualified, or "do not discharge ilte duties they assume. Tioo rma' - of these officers, well puid, like certain .rih bishops, *carcely 'ver visit their "chaige" more than once a year, enploying other to do the work. This practice is obtain ing ainong us, and ive suegest to the Leg islature the profriety of retnelying the growing evil, reqpiiring a strict attendance to, and faithful dischatge 'of. the public duties entrusted 'to the 'officers they ap' point. Our remarks na general, atnd apply to no particular State ofice. We depte cate the whole systemt of mnaking pulic of iei'id t'n'ere sinecuire sought only ftorits-emo lmtn'nts, anid ritarded in its legitimate func tiuns by ihe over ,veening desire of the iteormbent to become popular, that in the event of some ot her vacancy Iie may oh taini influence and votes to secnre his te' tion. This is'an evil', and thtose wholiave the State office in their gift should check its grtttth- at darly as possible.--Sau Carolinian. FIEIIAL TO Gtssat, SCOTT.--The Legislature of V'irginr'a having voted a medal to Genieral Scot', the Richmond E.nquirer says that a dlevice has been prIe pared, on one side, of which is ite votive inscription; ;on the other, a Doric colutmn, crowned with an eagle, and entwined with laural leaves, each bearing the name of one .of.

First, that slavery, ns it at present exists, there, ope rates imjuriously to _the commonwealth, atid is inconsistent with thie fundamental principles of free igoven'imcnt, as well as conttrary to the natural rights of mankind, anid ought not to he perpetuated. Second, ta:t any scheme of emanncipatiot ought to be prospective. It was recommended that it should lie a p.-ovision in the .new Constitution,. about to be adopted, that there shoultd be an absolute prohibition of the importation of slaives into the State; and that there was complete power io the people of Kentucky to establish in ihe'new Constititon, a. systemt of gradlual and prospective pmancipa tion of slaves.-Char.

We see that one Mr. Broken has -just married in Baliimore,.a Miss 1lank. So thcrc is one more bank now breken,! HE WILL FORGIVE YOU FATIER He stood leaning upon a broken-gifte in front of his miserable dwelling. His tattered lint was inh. his harnds and the cool breeze lifted the matted locks which covered his noble brow. His-.caunte nance was bloated and disfigured, but in his eye there was an unwanon look-a miigleil expression of -sadness add re gret. Perhaps he was listening to tie inela-nhory v'oice of 'his patient wite as she soothed the sick babe on her bosom; or perchance he-wasgaziggon the sweet face of his eldest daughte.r, as at the open window she plied her needle to obtain for her mother and the poor children a sustenance.. Poor Mary! for herself she cared not; young as site was, her spiria.was crushed by poverty, unkind. ness and neglect. As the inebriate thus stood, his eyes wondered over tihe mise rable habitation before him. - The win dows were .broken and tihe doors hinge less;. scarce a vestige of comfort re mair.ed; yet menory bore him back to the days of his youth, when it was tihe abode of peace and happiness. In in fancy lie saw again the old arm chair where sat his father with his bible upon his knee, and seemed to hear again the sweet tones of Iris mother as she laid her hand upon her darling boy, and prayed that God wotld bless him and preserve him from evil. Long years had passed awaV, yet tears cane irlo. the eyes of the' drunkard at the recollection of his mother's love. "Poor mother,' he nuttered, 'it is well that thou nrt sleeping in tile grave; it would break thy heart to know that thy son is a wretched and degraded being -a miserable outcast of society." He turned slowly away. Deep within an adjoining forest was a dell where the beams of the sun scarce ever penetrated. Tall tre'es grew on either side, whose branches, meet ing above, formed a cano py of leaves, where the birds built their nests and poured forth happy sons. Thither the djunkard bent his steps. It had been his favorite haunt in the days of his childhood, and as he thre* him over his mind. He covered his face with his hands, and tihe prayer of the prodiFal burst from his lips, '.Oh, God! receive a returning waiderer.' Sudden. ly a soft arm was thrown around his neck, and a sweet voice murmured "He will forgive you, father." St-irting to his feet the inebriate saw standiug before him hit youngest daughter, a child of six years old. 'Why are ynu here, Anne 1' he said, asharned thait the innocent child should have witnessed his grief. tI came to gather the lllies. which gt ow upon ihn banks,' site replied. 'See, I have got my basket full, and now I am going to sell.thern.' - 'And what do you do with the money ' asked tire father, ai.he turned his eyes to tire basket, where, anong the bioad green leaves, the sweet lillies of the valley were peeping forth. The child hesitated; she thought sire had said too much; perhaps her father would demand the money1 and spend it in the way in which all his earnings went. 'You are afraid to tell me, Anne?,' said the father kindly. 'Well I do not blame you; I have no right to my chi dren's con flden ce-' T-he gentleness of tone tornched. the heart -of the alfectionate child. Shre threwv her arms around iris neck, and ex claimed, 'Yes father, I will tell you. Mother buys medicine for poor little Willie. We have no other way to got it. -Mother and Mary work all the time they can'get it, to Euy bread. A-pang shot through the inebriate's heart. '1 have robbed threm of the corri forts of-life,' he exclaimed: 'from thais momerit the liquor- fire passes nmy lips no miore.' Anne stood gazing at hihi in astonish mient. Shre- could scarce comprehend hrer father's words; brut shre saw thtat somre charnge had taken~ place. She threwv back her golden ringlets, raised 1er large blue eyes with an earnest look to hris face, 'will you never drin~k any more ruin!l' she sliispere d timidlyi Ncver ! dedr Anne,' teplied her father solemnly:' f1oy danced in her eyes. 'Thren we will all be so hatppy. Oh, rather; what a happy home ours will be 1 Yearrs passed away.' Tire words of little Anne, the drunkard's daughter had proven tyue.- Tire home of the rc formed man, her father, was indsed a hrappy one. Plenty crowned iris board, aind health and jo-y benamed from the face of his wifoiand clrildren; where once squalid misery alone could be traced.- The pledge laud rai-sed hrirm from iris degrada tion, and restored him once more to peace and hrappiness.

We were 'not aware, until ~receily that the books of' newspaper publisheti are consulted to quito a large extent, by people in:btuiness, to-.ascertain lhe pecuniary standing of persons. Debti for newspapers come due once a year; and persons *Iio -pay up- regblarig for their papers, are regarded as prompt ,aen, and worthy of confidence.

We then repliefl to the ingnirer, "that man is good; your debt is safe, he ma'y have forgotten,t, or something else may ha've. prevented his paying but he is gond." The man' eyes brightened. S-sid he, "I have been to several prinis-r-. and could not find where he took-n pmer. - I -thought of you, and said I woiud ikime here." Sgd he again, afcer a panos, "this is thd way we find nut whefler.* poople are good. We ascertain what paper thej take, and contrive some way to peep into their account.
