Lconomy is a vtr-ue which it become nations, as well is Individuals. to practises and in republican govern ment, it is atill more essential. But economy is also a word, and one of magi Cal power over the imaginations of the mass of the people. Like the talisman of the Cistern Prince, it can agitate the wateis, but it cannot give to them a heal ing property There is, Mr. Speaker, amongst the community, at this time, a diseased feeling on the subject of the it becomes us to soothe rather than irrl tate- ' -- , The reason stated in the preamble ot the bill before us for this reduction is, thai the condition of the people of North Carolina has materially altered inc the compensation of Ihe )ffi err named iri the bill were fixed As to the Jufcet of SuPrcme Co'"'' ginsi whom.l con sider the bill as miinly directed, it is not denied by the gentleman from Granville, but that these officers ire deserving of tneir salaries not but that they arj qual ified for the station they occupy quali Red too, at a vast sacrifice of brain and comfott, by dys of oil, and nights of watching. No, sirsuch is not either 'he allegation of the gentleman, or the recital of his bill. By. in fact, that we are too poor i'o ;ive ar'ctjuite compensa ion io these meritorious ofrV-ers.

Tof "the year ending 1st November, 1428, was 53090 J LI -4-wileavmaF-a iulaftce i the 1 reasury of g93,343 59 3 4.

With such a surplus-fund, can it be ne- T cessary To make the "ret f e nclithent on the score of necessity and even if it were true, that our state were so straitened in her circumstances, would not reason tell us io mike the reducticn any where, else than in these salaries i But let us look a little further, and see what is the amount in the proposed saving. According to i tie present bill, the saving on the four officers first mentioned, viz: the Judges of the Supreme Couit, the Judges of the Superior Courts, the. Treasurer, and the Comptroller,' would be about 87,780. Suppose we distribute this amongst the community - Aecorditvp m the returns of the late Presidential election, 5 1,775 voters went to the polls add one tenth for votes not given in, and taxable polls not entitled to vote,-which ts certainly a very w ettmatfr,nd" we bsve-t - least 57,000 tax-paying men in North Carolina. Taking into calculation the whole reven flet and dPvtdifrgthe whole savinptrriongst 57,000 persons and supposing the aaving to be 83,000, there is one sixth of I cent saved id each individaa,!. pNowronly coa, ceivp the ' t "we" pay Jo(' pfide, to ' pWa " sure'jTo amVitfoh; and'tbft tram of follies that are constantly besetting us, and how infinitely small does this aavmg appear. The ;leman:lromvOriTtfUlc"XM.rr! Potter,) when he first submitted this pro position, told us of the great "difficulties under which the people are laboring, and the anxiety with which they are looking to us for relief. If any of us have per mined our constituents to believe that we could make any sensible diminution of the load Of peCtlnTaTjr distress which now overhangs the country in other words, that we could help them to pay their debts by legislative, enactments, we have done exceedingly wrong; wrong io apprting with the feelings of the miserable, by encouraging false hopes wrong, sgain. because an anxiety to make scirne show towards making good such expectations, rjturally betrays u into a sort of parr5;- - ' : -- - ,. . , :r.

But if this reasoning is to prevail, let It prevail to Its full extent. In 1819, when the salary of the Supreme Court Judges wli fixed, the pay oi" a member of this hoyse was the same that it is now. By th same rule, we' ought to reduce our own compensition. I low awk ward ahould wo appeir, if, when we went home, wr told our constimentf about ou? havinir fluced these venerable gentlemen out of a pirt of their salaries, and lomeinquisi tiye fellow should ask us " if we bad con trhuted in part of our pay towards the public emergencies? 0, we would aav, serve all that we rrr I do not know that, says he t hte been looking over the journals ofthe Asemhly, and, for alt the good yoo have d-xie the country, the Judges of the Supreme Court seem as well entitled to their compensation a y t yinjrs-. tf you had adtourned a week sooner, you wuld have saved gJ.OOO, and that would have been nearly three tims as milch as you have saved on the ataries cf the Judge Economy, like charity, should begin at home, and you ought not to haze tried generosity at the expense of others.' But the sarne gentleman has told tis, that we ought to graduate public salaries according to the fluctuations of tha mar ket for our staples. That is to say, we are to take a corrected list of the frcr Current, and figure it out by the Rule of Three. The proposition would then stand inui TTf"a pound" of cotton cosf so much, whit would be the salary of a But ai this would be very troublesome and as my friend from Orange (Mrv-Uad dell,) has shown, rou could not tell, toy giten timer the recise aniount compensation an oHcer might be entitled to, it would seem, therefore, better, and certainly no comprotTiise ofjhe. principle laid down by the gentleman from Cran villej ind insisted on again and again, that they should be paitf,"fi3TeVVgmir)vei'4- seer m a pan of the cropu; . Thbv it is truer Wfiutd be a novelty Ibia country but it is a mode of compensation that has been practiced in other countries. Th clergy of England receive their tythes in produce. In Virginia, I have understood, they used to pay their Colonial Governor in tobacco; and in the quasi govenmen of Franklin, which many years ago exi ted beyond the Smoky Mountains, they paid their Magistrate and Judges in furs and deer skins. In North Carolina the adoption of such a principle would be as suitable as any where else in the world I take it for granted, that we are not going to reduce the other salaries and not scalo our own, then as you see we could get our pay in the staples themselves, and each to his own fancy and taste thus the gentlemen on the sea board and at the mouths of the laree rivers, could lay in a year's provii ion of Herrings the Mountaineers could dtawThelr ration in ChemuttrGranbfr- rie$, Potato'rt and Pension Aim, and for nyac.. as 1 have-no use fur Go!lon.(lhe staple of mv county) l should hope to be treated ton few barrelrof tour Ajrout. With this mode of compensation, we might expect to have n vatoabte-liegfsla- lure,. and .

The gen tleman Trbrri tlranvilte'haa told 'tis that we bould-...prjjc,ure the best talents that the state can atlora lor tne nign anu rcspon sikle trust of administering the law. Pray, Sir, how is this to be done without providing adequate compensation ? The price of any thing is just what it will bring in the market. Can sny one.supnose that Lawyers who are making from 2,000 to 3,500 dollars a year, will quit their places for a seat on the Bench i Cm any one believe that they are to be captivated lvf-rhi tinsel of the name of J ttdire-s tn they know too well the truth of honest fczekiel Homespun s sage expression in thplay, that a title without $ome of the ready to . tupport it, it a mighty withy wanhy tort of a thing.
