In view of hostilities between the usurpation at Washington over the Northern people, under the forms of the Union, and the Government ordained by the 4Jonfederale States, the latter was invosti ed with all the Sovereign powers deem,ed necessary for conducting war ; and a' mong others, with the dangerous and suicidal one of borrowing money, on the credit of its constituent sovereignties. It bad no authority to establish banks ; but there wete legions of them all over ,tbe South : and they were speedily lesor-ted to for procuring the means of raising and maintaining nrmies; and providiug -for the expenses of Government. Af ter one years probation, the Constitution of the Confederacy has beea permanently established ; and it has become a debtor, for upwards of ono hundred and sevi enty millions of dollars. It lias issued bonds and Treasury notes, all bearing iu iterest. What sacrifices have been endured, in converting these sorts of public scrip into what is used as monev. is not known : but it is lamentably true that on one occasion $60,000 were appropriated, to pay itbe premium on about one quarter of a million of dollars, iu specie, for Indian treaties; and that 2,000,000 have been .required by tbe Socretary of the Treasury, to pay the premium on specie, for the discharge of the interest of the public debt. The Sovereign States, represented by | this Government, bad probably all been indulging largely in the privilege (?) of borrowing money, with which they in' vested their joint representative. Such was tbe case with South Carolina. Thin State was not only a borrower, but had a bank, whose chief capital was tbe debt .of tbe State, incurred for banking puj poses. Throughout tbe South, tbe people all used paper money, o r the evidence of bank indebtedness, exchaoged for that of individuals : and there was so little real money m the country, that most of the banking institutions were suspended.? The money of real value was supposed to be-in tlie vaults of the banks; and the delusion ihnt the currency of the peo ?>le rested on a specie basis, was only kept up by this supposition. The enormous appreciation of gold and silver, in cmpariaon with the paper currency .vainly called money, demonstrated that the lat ter no longer rested upon its supposed basis. Such was the condition of the cusren Ay of the South, at the commencement of iiostiliiies ; and it has been aggravated t?y the feverish inflarnation of the war, its onerour. burdens, end (be interruption of all industrial pursuits. Instead of the prices of all commodities being reduced by the scarcity of money, they base ibeen enhanced by the inflation of the pa* per currenoy. The truth of the old adage that it is .easier to prevent, than to coarsct evil, should not deter patriotism <iom ao effort to return to true principle*, wnue it would induce cautidP ia ieform. It it reaped fully suggested totficae who have been en trusted by the people, with the ?acred function# Of ?o?erGO>ent, that to them ' .bel<MJt# the aoleron duty of no longer jpeOtHllftg in ooureee, thnt are pemicioue, j #. because unwise, inconsistent with princi pie, and therofore inevitably tending to ruin. The patriotism of the people must be relied upon, or their social order, and political independence wil i.erub. The Confederate Government can wield no power but what the States have granted, or may confe?. All of its resource* must come from the people of the Con federate States ; for it can hope to bor row nothing from abroad. Let it no Ion, ger l-oirow from the people, or any class of them; and if it has not the Sovereign power of appropriating whatever may be needed for the war, and giving its scrip for such appropriations, for future adjust* >ni . i..< : .?i.. .i.? c....... IUCU b f IQl lb ID' ? u pun iuc oimco, \\j whom tbAt sovereign power does belong as an essential attribute. The States m?y cither confer such power on the Confederate Government, or may eaoh within its own domain, ex? erase it directly. It it be best that this Government should have the power, and it has not been provided for in the Con Btitution, that can be amended; and, in the meantime, each State can confer such power, within its own domain, until the amendment b made. Whether the Constitution of the Confederacy he so amen* ded; or its government be specially empowdered, as the agent of the States ; or the States themselves exert the power, for the benefit of that Government ; are questions of not much immediate c< m ccrn, at least in comparison wish the momentous importance of the efficient exercise of the power itself, iu some effectual mode. This is only one of the illustrations of the defective system of government, un< der which the people of the American Slates have been living, since the format tion of tbe false, and dblusive Union ; which has been hastily, and almost fatal- I ly, imitated iu the Permanent Constitu lion of the Southern Confederacy. The absurdity of uniting sovereign States, which are, in their very nature, supreme, has been deplorably shown by the discord now devouring the American people. That portion, who have been allowed to assume the title, and illustri ous flag, which belonged to all,have been compelled to yield to a practi al over throw of their vaunted Constitution, in order to consolidate their power. This truth is, without supreme sorereignty, there can he no vital energy, or concentration of the power of society.? The sovereignty of the Northern people has been unequivocally asserted, by the usurpation at Washington, to be iu the government of the United States ; and they have acquiesced. That usurpation, therefore, acts with energy, and singleness of purpose. In the Southern Confederacy the sov ereignty is in the several Stales ; and the Confederate Government is their a gent, with limited powers. It has no independent supreme vitality ; and cannot | exert any power, however urgent the ne cetsity, unless the occasion for its exer cise has been previously anticipated, and granted by the compact of confederation. It is evident, therefore, that among us. of the South, we must either abandon the noble rank of soveseign Stales ; and devolve the actual sovereignty upon the Confederate Government; or not confide too much upon it, for the protection of the freedom of the people, and the inde oendence of the States ! but r?lv nnun , ?J ?I Hie unquestioned, supreme, Absolute, sovereignties of the Stales. We must learn to realize the truth, that the Confederate Government, and all its functionaries are, in fact, only the agents of the States ; and dependent on the sovereignties of all of them. The exigencies of the present war are daily developing this truth ; and the lime seems net far off, when the security of our people will require all of the sovereign powers,?belonging only to the States themselves,?to be exerted. The Confederate Goveinment may have to be reformed, in more tban one respect, by the sovereignties, which created it. Public necessity may require one or more of thoae sovereign Stales to provide for their security, without depending on the tardy, or unwise action of thair agent at Richmood. it should be remembersd, that "desperate diseases require violent and prompt remedies and as long as the peoples! the States are conscious of their supreme sovereignty, they will,in the last retort, look to that, aa the only firm basis of freedom aod independence. The entire military organisation of the Confederate armies, depends on its requisitions upon the States; and there is no soldier, or officer, of those armies who would not be bound, under bis allegiance, to abandon the service, on the command of the State, of whiofc he waa a citizen. JJoes any .one imagine, that the enliat?oenl of soldier impoeee* an obligation of obedience to ?be Executive of the Conlederacy, equal to that of allegiance ? or that the voluntary assumption of per onal duly, to any agent of his sovereign, ....... c ... l ,? ?AUI1CI(I1C9 VIIC IIUII1 UIC nrtLIC'l UUIY Ul obeying, without question, the mandate of thai supreme authority; which proceeds from the Divine Founder of society, and on which all social order rests f If so, he is prepared to admit the legitimacy of the usurpation at Washington. To return, however, to the financial topic, which seemed to invite this digres sion ; and may be more clearly considered under m in_*t>> ; u the means of com ducting the war be obtained from the people of the Confederacy, bv exchang ing tbe proposed scrip for whatever the necessities of the tbe Government may require, there should be no such thing as interest charge ? e thereon, as is now usual upon borrowed money. The only plausible ground for interest on loans, is that tbe borrower males profit, on the use of tbe loan : and tbe creditors share thereof, is the inters*'* If Government will borrow monev. to build railroads, or to establish banks, they expect to make dividends, and on this ground, it would be fair that they snould pay a portion, >0 interest. So in all oilier cases, in which government may descend from its high vocation to traffic. When, however a a sovereign Stnte, or a government, as its agent, in the defence of the people, api propr ales the lives ami labour, and corn, and wagons, and mules, cr any other property of that people, what other pro fit can it make, from the use of these things, but the independence of the whole.? This is "the pearl above price," for which a people "should tell ail that they have." In war the Government is the consumer of the productions of its people. It appropriates a portion, if ueed he all, except enough for the maintenance of the producers. To whatever extent this scrip ho issued, it will always represent the actual cost of the war, or the loss the community sustained, by the war. The taxation shouid be correspondent to that cost. Those who received scrip for their labour, or goods, would pay their taxes with it; and (hose who were without it, would ex change their labour and goods for this means of paying their taxes. In oilier words, the exigencies of the w ar would require a larger currency; and the wants of the government would supply it to the people. This Scrip should he the regulator of values, inrougtioul the sphere of its cir culation. Shall it be tolerated among freemen, that sovereignty can command the citizen to take the field, as a com inon soldier, and sell bis personal liberty, bis labour, bis blood, at a certain fixed rate; and yet be compelled to bargain with every huckster, for provisions, or the means of transportation t That such a question should admit of argument indi cates a low, and ignoble lone of public sentiment. "What doth it profit a mar if he gain the whole world and lose hi) own soul !" Next only to the salvation of a man's soul, is the love of country The safely, the honour, the independent of the State, are infinitely above all con siderations of gain, and the prices of la hour and goods. The Slate, or its government, whelht confederate or separate, should estabhsl the rates, at which its appropriations o private properly will be made. 'I lies rates should be fixed, throughout tin whole country, wherever the public ser vice requires anything; arid they shouh be unilorm and peimanent, so long as tin war continues. Let prices fluctuate a: thev may, among the people, in differ ent localities, according to their diversifiei pursuits and wants; but let the unity o the State, or of the Confederacy, in tin great cause of our war of independence be manifested in ever/ transaction will lli? people. As long as liie war laata, and forei^i commerce ia blockaded, the governmen ia necessarily the chief conaumer of lh< producliona of the country, and the prof ita of this trade are not to be counted it dollars and centa; but in the honour, ant independence ot the 8tate, and the de fence of the people. However large ?naj be the expenditures of the government the currency, thus supplied, would he ad equate; hecauae everv issue of 8crij would be founded on some actual trans *!

Tbia?urtp ahould not be the subject ol taxation; because it would not be lb< course of any income, to the holders ; nc more than money in circulation, as a measure of value in trade.shnuld be. Tlie Confederate war tax bill does indeed im pose a tax upon all casli in h n , on a certain day ; but ilial is found d on tbe notion tlial money should produce interest; whereas if money were conli ed to its legitimate use, simply as a medium of cxcliauyir-c property and labour, it would not be considered, of itseb productive hioI a in sutject 01 uxKiion. i ne aper inon ey, now unfortunately in use throughout llie Confederacy, already costs I lie peop'e enough ; and il is worse than idle 10 pretend, 11:mi, in tlie present condition of the country, any one can employ money wiili profit, beyond obtaining a maintain mice, except in brokerage with tlie government, j Witen tlie government - shall take, hs it ought to do, at fixed prices, over its en I tire sphere of operation, whatever may he necessary for the public service, there will be an end of all such employment?as unpatriotic, as it may he profi a hi-, i The Government ? uhl not need gold f and silver, for the purpose of paving interest on the public debt ; for that is int qoiu us, and il is unstatesinauhke in our s rulers to submit to such an imposition in the present situation of pub'ic affairs.
