Hunt's Merchants' Magazine says that the only method of making money scarce, is that which we adopt of making debt plenty, by which money is made relatively scarce. Two-thirds of out currency is debt. It is a mad system of kiting bc between tho banks and their customers, and an enormous superstructure of debt is built thereon, keeping almost every tra der in danger of bankruptcy. There is nothing else the matter with the business of the country. Trading on borrowed capital is the bane of our commerce. Of all the wholcsalo merchants of New York city, it was reported last week that only fifteen had been able to keep above water, aud beyond the necessity of suspen sion, or the humiliating position of asking for an extension. For a term, at least, the lesson will be Salutary. People begin to see the beauties of the "pay as you go" plan. The creditors especially are making a bold resolve to shorten the credits of customers. For instance; the hardware jobbers are against long credits to custo mers. The prices have fallen and will fall still lower, till they accord with the true representative of value. Measuring Corn in the Ear. Having gathered and safely housed his corn, the farmer wishes to ascertain with somo degree of certainty, what amount of shelled corn there may be in his pile. There are various rules for this, all of which are more or less serviceable. -The ! following we find in the Valley Farmer, and is one which can be ca-.ily tested If it provo a sound rulo, we advise our read ers to cut it out and keep it for reference : Arrange the corn in the pen or crib, so that it will be of equal depth throughout ; then ascertain the length, breadth and depth of tho pile ; multiply these dimen sions together, and their product by 3J. Then cut off one figure from the ri"bt of the last product, and the remainder will be so many bushels of shelled corn ; and the figure cat off will bqow how many tenths of a bushel more. Example. In a crib or pen of corn in the ear, measuring ten foot long, eight feet high, and seven feet wide there will le 252 bushels of shelled corn. Thus 10 M 8 "J m 3j252.6.

Some writers recommend, as tho only way t meet mem and perhaps prevent i famine, to raise large flocks of turkeys, which devour them greedily, and are fattened by them. Oth er fowls arc also good, but not equal to turkeys. The grass hoppers Lave been troublesome, the past year or two, in Un ion county, and two farmers in Kelly township have told us that they found the turkeys hunted the grass-hoppers readily, ate immense numbers of them, and fat tened easily. It is a good thing to convert grass-hoppers into turkeys (even as the K. X. writer described an Irishman to be " a machine for converting potatocs-into hu man nature !") The Atlantic Monthly for Dec. is full of interesting articles. One attempt ing to prove "Kobin Hood" a myth, or representative character, is very plausible, but not conclusive. It reminds us of a very ingenious papcr,published some years ago, attempting to prove that Master Wjl Ijame Shackspeyre was an imaginary au thor, or at least a shrewd playman, whose careful collections of the best plays were credited to him whenever the authors were not known. There is a comprehensive and thought-breeding article on Slavery, " Where icill it end " ( Phillips.Sampson ' & Co., Hoston.)

ISJ'Tbe Munry Luminary, in view of the fact that printers can not rcduco their hands or "retrench" their expenses to " keep dotcn with the times," very prop erly urges the craft to live up to the rcsO' ( lutions ot tne JJanviile Convention, and : stop giving general credits for papers after the 1st Jan. 1858.

In reading Mr. Ur.LPKft's Cok, "The Criiis of the Sjuth," one is forcibly im pressed with the high-toned views and pa triotic principles of those noble men of Virginia, whose -families now boast the title of "F.

Fresh from the contebt of the Revolution, and believing in the existence and the justice of a Father in Heaven, the Sages and Heroes of '76 religiously and honora bly labored to promote, as far as they could see tho way clear, the natural equal ity of rights of all of God's children. Look, for example, at the records left by the Randolphs of the Old SchooL I-) ton Randolph. On the 20th of October, 1774, while , Congress was in session in Philadelphia, "That wc will neither import nor pur ' chasc any slaTe imported fter the first day of December next ; after which time wo will wholly discontinue tho slave-trade, and will neither be concerned in it our selves, nor will we hire our vessels, nor sell our commodities or manufactures, to those who are concerned in it. Edmund Randolph. The Constitution of the United States contains the following provision : "No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping to anothCr, shall, in consequence of any law j or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be deliver- 1 np on claim of the party to whom such scrviee or labor may be due. To the studious attention of those Van dals who contend that tho above provision only requires tho rendition of fugitive slaves, wc respectfully commend the fol i; which, it will bo observed, was m,nn;niMlsj a.lontPrl "On motion of Mr. Randolph, the word 'servitude was struck out, and 'senictf nnanimously inserted tho former being thought to express thc condition of slaves, and the latter thc obligation of free per sons. Madison Papers, vol. III., p. 1069. John Randolph. That eccentric genius, Randolph of Ro anoke, in a letter to William Gibbous, in 1820, says: "With unfeigned respect and regard, and as sincere deprecation of tho exten sion of slavery and its horrors as any oth-t er man, be bim whom he may, I am your friend, in the literal sense of tnat much abused, because it is applied to the leagues of vice and avarice and ambition, instead of good will toward man from love of him who is the l'rince 01 reace. Wbilo in Congress ho said : "Sir, I envy neither the heart nor the bead of that man from the Aorth, who ri ses here to defend slavery on principle. It is well known that he emancipated all bis negroes. The following lines from his will are well worth persuing and pre serving : "I give to my slaves their freedom, to which my conscience tells me tbey Mtejusty entitled. It has long since been a matter of the deepest regret to me that the cir cumstance under which I inherited them, and the obstacles thrown in the way by the laws of the land, hare prevented my emancipating them in my life-time, which it is my full intention to do in case I can accomplish it." John Randolph, it should also be re membered, was the anthor of the Report in Congress, against the potition of the people of Southern Indiana to have the Slavery restored which had been abolished by the Jefferson Proviso of 1787 thus denying the right of any people to havo Slavery, even if they might desire it Thomas IW. Randolph. In an address to the Virginia Legisla ture, in 1820, Gov. Randolph said : "We have been far outstripped by States to whom nature has been far less bouutiful. It is painful to consider what mijhl have been, under oilier circumstan ces, the amount of general wealth in Vir ginia." Thomas Jcffcraon Randolph. Iu Mr. Randolph, of Albemarle, in the Legislature of Virginia, nsed the following most graphic aud emphatic lan guage : "I agree with gentlemen in the necessi ty of arming the State for internal de fence. I will unite with them in any cf- i fort to restore confidence to the public mind, and to conduce to tho sense of tho safety of our wives and our children. Yet sir, 1 must ak upon whom is to fall the burden of tli hi defence ? Not upon the lordly masters of their hundred slaves, who will never turn out except to retire with their families when danger threatens. No, Sir; it is to fall upon the less wealthy class of onr citizeus, chiefly upon the non slaveholder. I have known patrols turn ed out when there was not a slaveholder . ,i,... .j ,i,: ,k f '""" " tho country. I have slept iu times of alarm quiet in bed, without having a thought of care, while these individuals, owuing none of this property themselves, were patrolling,noder a compulsory proc ess, for a pittance of seventy-five cents per twelve hours, the very curtilage of my house, and guarding that property which was alike dangerous to them and myself. After all, this is lit an expedient. As this population becomes more numerous, it becomes less productive. Your guard must be increased, until finally its profits will not pay for the expense of its subjec tion. Slavery has the effect of lessening the free population of a country. "The genfcman has spoken of the in crease of the female slaves being a part of the profit. It is admitted ; but no great evil can be averted, no good attained, without some inconvenience. It may be questioned how far it is desirable to foster and encourage this branch of profit It is a pract'ee, aud an increasing practice, in parts of Virginia, to rear slaves for mar ket. How can an honorable mind, a pa triot, and a lover of his country, bear to see this Ancient Dominion, rendered it- lustrioug by the nobldevotion and patri- otism of her sons in the cause of liberty, converted into one grand menagerie, wnere men are to be reared for the market, like oxen for the shambles t Is it better, is it not worse, than the slave trade : that trade which enlisted the labor of the good and wise of every creed, and every clime, to abolish it? The trader receives the slave, a stranger in language, aspect, and manners, from the merchant brought bim from the interior. ho has The ties of father, mother, husband, and child, have all been rent in twain ; before be re ceives him, his soul has become callous. But here, Sir, individuals whom the mas ter has known from infancy, whom he has seen sporting iu the innocent gambols of childhood, who have been accustomed to look to him for protection, he tears from the mother's arms and sells into a strange country amoug strange people, subject to cruel taskmasters. "He has attempted to justify slavery here, because it exists in Africa, and has stated that it exists all over the world. Upon the same principle, he could justify Mohainedanism, with its plurality of wives, petty wars for plunder, robbery, and murder, or any otner ot tne atiomma - iiuus nuu euuiuuuea VI savugB iiiues. Does slavery exist in any part of civilized Europe ? No, sir, in no part of it." ll done fur the Randidphs ! Were they now living, they would doubtless be exiled from the soil of Virginia, and de nounced as "Black Republicans," "Abo litionists," "Infidels," " Disunionists," &c. &c. Randolphs of the New SchooL Among the Bogus Convention, which (as one of its Members confessed) repre sented but one-tenth of the people of Kan sas, were John S. Randolph, always a Democrat, and JJin IK Randolph, once styling himself a "Democrat," and now "Nuliifier." The former said little, but voted steadily for crowding Slavery upon Kansas against the wishes of nine tenths of the people. John W. Randolph was talkative, and was styled by the Tribune correspondent, "the prominent rhetorical divinity." We copy some of his positions, as taken verbatim, to show how the Ran dolphs have degenerated on the great ques tions of religious liberty and man's rights: Out 27, in the debate on Militia, "Randolph of Atchison thought that a man of 45 was too old to be run about over tho prairies at the will of some boy of 18, who might be captain jist for the sake of learning military rudiments in a cornstalk milesha company. He expected that they wur goiu' to make a Slave State, and if tbey was, the most of the spectators would be children and niggers, an' he objected to making such a spectacle of an old man jist to make laughin' for niggers. And he was opposed to so young men goiu' iu the melisha. They hadn't the nerve. They weren't able to tramp op and down and eat the bard bread baked in 177G. Randolph was opposed to mixin' iu this religion. If a man is to be allowed to dodge servin' on the milesha on account o' religious scruples, he (Randolph) would embrace some kind of religion himself, so as to escape melisha duty. RaadoIph"was opposed to tho whole bill, but especially that part of it allowin people to be ex empt from religions scruples, and then making them pay to support the others for their exemption'." Randolph"thougbt tnat to exempt people from the duty Of shooting people and then getting them to pay others for doin' it, was a humbug." Randolph was opposed to the wholo mel isha system. Meluba always run away. If God Almighty made a man a coward, you could not make brave man of him. It was not the man's fault it was the Maker's fault." Here somebody called Randolph to order.but tbo Chair observed that Mr. Randolph was not out of order, uuless it was out of order to speak in that way of the Almighty. "Oh, well," ex claimed Randolph, "I dou't want to git down on tbo old man." Oct. aO, in tho discussion on Slavery, Mr. Randolph "Wanted nothing but the clear-strained rosum. Wauted to strike out the word emancipate, and the right of the Legisla ture to allow owners to emancipate their slaves. Niggers were sent duwu expressly bv the Deitv to wait on while men. He denied that they were "human."

He said the main work of the North was this same business of emancipation, and why should this Convention use this word "emancipa tion" in any case, unless we want to help such as my friend and fellow traveler to eternity, Horace Greeley, in what they want to do T The niggers themselves were opposed to this thiug of emancipation. Tbey would vote for Slavery if they had the chance. The safest way of submitting the Constitution would be to the niggers nf Old Virginia. Some of the delegates I wanted to strike out the word "slave" wherever it occurred and insert the word ' "property." If they would do this, it j would gull a lot of the Abolitionists. Now i those who wanted to do so must either I think that they were almighty smart, or that the Abolitionists were a pack of awful fools. He wanted it slave all the time." Nov. 5, on the question of submission of the Constitution, Mr. Randolph "Thought there were two qualifications for a great man,; the first was impudence, ! and the second ignorance. He wanted to 1 show what he said ; he may not remember ' all tiA Batil knt t f I n.a m nnj tKinr. Ka All, HQ D.IUj WU .UI..V Ma wuw Q " i wrote. CUe read from his circular.)

Speak of the Democracy for the Demo cracy he had refused to vote for his best friend, Gen. Taylor. For the Democracy he had forsaken the gallant Scott, whom be had followed to Mexico, and voted for Frank Pierce,who was a coward and faint ed.
