To bo in debt is to be in bondage, What a luxury it is to feel and know we owe any one a cent! Perhaps this eentiment will not be endorsed by all our readers. Judging by their general course, some persons never feel comfortable unless they are in debt. They get into debt as often as possible and never get out again unless they are obliged to. And yet they consider themselves honest, and would doubtless feci very much shocked at a whisper to the contrary. But what would bo the privata opinion of their creditors publicly expressed? Some hard names would be called and harsh sentences would be uttered in no gentle tones. The peculiar circumstances which have surrounded the people of this Territory have educated them into a system of perpetual running in debt. The almost total absence, at seasons, of any circulating medium, has fostered the habit of getting nearly everything on credit. Everybody gets into debt to everybody, and folks settle down into an easy state of mind contheir liabilities, because everycerning ' involved. is Mutual debit and body credit is almost unavoidable, under certain conditions, but there are limits within which we should all confine ourselves, and obligations which should be met according to arrangoment. A man who rushes into debt without any pros peet of ability to pay, is first cousin to a swindler and a cheat, and they who promise to pay by a certain date and make no effort to fulfil their engagements, are intimately related to him. As we are brought into closer relations with other communities, we adopt their habits and manners. Extravaganoe in living and in dross is one of the promi nent evils of the age. Desirous of keeping pace With the fashions, but unable to obtain available means to do so, many families jecklessly involve themselves in diiicultics from which they will not be able-- to withdraw 'without the loss of their good name and the respect of their menus, iar better would it be for them to live within their means, plainly dressed and plainly fed, than to suffer s, the annoyances, ehagrin and disgrace incident to "keeping up an appearance" on the means of other don't com-fuHab- ly heart-burning- people, The spirit of rash speculation on borrowed capital is injurious to the peace and prosperity of individuals and the community. This great anxiety to be come rich by a quick stroke is not healthy. Fortunes suddenly made aro as quickly lost. Steady, honest, intelligent industry forms the only safe basis on which to build an independence, and is of far more benefit to the State than the express-trailightning system of commercial gambling bo common iu the business of these fast times. Carelessness in payment of hired labor is an evil which cries aloud for a remedy. Men engage laborers and mechanics to do their work, and concern themsolvcs very little about timely pay ment of wages. This is particularly hard upon Workers from the old countries who were accustomed to receiving their pay as regularly as the week's end came round, are perplexed and thrown into great difficulties through the tardy manner of payment, which is very common amongst us. Fair, equitable agreements, consistent with the circumstances of all parties, should be made by employers and employed, and those agreements should be promptly and strictly fulfilled. And in therent of unlookcd for circumstances arising rendering fulfilment impossible, explanations should be made to prevent ill feeling. and maintain confidence. Fluctuations in the value of produce often operate to the injury of the employed, and creditors in general. duo in the spring and summer when produce is high, are frequently not made until fall when it is cheap, and no difference is made in the quantity paid. A little reflection will show that thii ia cot just Again; mon with plenty of meatus will often crowd unavailable pay at unmnrketablo rates upon those whom they employ, 'and hold on to the good pay forjdear life. Fair dealing' should be above private interest, and equity before sharp trailing. should not bo unreasonable. They should make themselves acquainted with the circumstances of the place, and the shifts and turns which have to bo made in a new country; and should not expect to find things running in tho nettled grooves which centuries have formed-ithe old world. 'Another, , l i M n, I r i new-comer- s. Tuy-mert- tg New-come- thing. They should not forget that are thousands of their still in the depths of poverty and the chains of bondage from which they, many of them, through the kindness of others have been emancipated. As soon as they find themselves in a fair way to live, their active exertions should be turned towards the payment of debt to the P. E. Fund. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are due to that Fund which ought to be paid, and be in use for the immigration of the honest poor, who long to be here. Many people are in debt for county and territorial taxes. We manage our home affairs on such an easy principle that many folks allow their taxes to remain unpaid year after year, feeling assured that their good friend, the collector, will not push matters to extremes. They think "its all in the family" and so they need not fret their gizzards about such simple matters as taxes. Delinquents should understand that unpaid taxes are bona fide debts and that in withholding payment they are violating the law and materially injuring the country by retarding its development and the improvements which would be made if all assessments were available. Notwithstanding thfs we are territorially out of debt. Our public affairs are managed on correct principles and we pay as we go. We ought to make strenuous efforts to establish the same method in all our multifarious business relatione, as far as it is practicable. Contract no debts if you can pay as you If you must get into debt don't go. plunge into it headlong, indifferent as to the means of getting out again. Don't promise to pay by a certain time unless you mean to do so, and when your word is given hold it sacred, and as binding as your oath. Don't be too anxious to get rich. Avoid extravagance. Pay your hired help promptly and fairly, and in as good pay as you can. Frequently invootlgate your finanoial position and see what ground you stand on, and if you are in debt to Church, State, Jew, Gentile, Mormon or Apostate, try to clear off every liability, that you may be able to look every one in the face without shame, and walk the earth free from the bondage which honest men feel when they are in debt. Mexico. ! Mexico is still in a state of revolution. President Juarei is unablo to control the conflicting elements of which that unfortunate Republic is composed. Another formidable outbreak, headed by General Placido Tega threatencs to' unseat Juarez and introduce a new order of affairs. Mexico is certainly a most unfortunate country. It is constantly in a state of combustion. Ambitious men start up in every direction,- - and always find adventurers enough to folio?? them in their deeds of rapine and plunder. Civil war is a chronic disease of the State. Progress in such a country is impossible. Though blessed with as fine a climate as any country in the world, and favored with immense resources, of every kind that are calculated to make a nation rich and prosperous, Mexico is the most ill conditioned of any country professing to be civilized. It is in a far worse con ditiou in the nineteenth century than it was in the sixteenth under a heathen administration. Mexico has proved that she is incapr ble of The strong hand of a superior race is needed te grasp the power of the State and deliver the people from their afflictions. There will be no peace in the land while the present tropical, hybrids are to for permitted struggle Annexation to the United States appears to be the only true solution of the Mexican problem. The tide of events is drifting her in this direction, and until the influence of the Anglo-Saxo- n race predominates in her affairs, that rich and beautiful country will continue to be the prey of the spoilor and a disgrace to tho hot-head- go. - Lost. Mr. Henry Engelbrccbt has been missing Bince Saturday last about fivo o'clock p. m. He had madearrange-meut- 8 to carry on business in One of the stores built by Cooper Bros, and had taken his goods there, intending to commence on Monday, 7th inst, lie was seeu in Main St. on Saturday afternoon, and since then all trace of him has been lost. Any information concerning him will be gladly received by his brother in S. L. City.

Our Salt I.ukc Letter. Salt Lake City, March 10, 1870. Deae Junction: What strange wenth-e- r we are having in spells occasionally ? There was a time when winter would settle itself fairly down to its work in these valleys in December, and give us square freezing and good sleighing snow for a matter of three months at least; and then a warm south wind would clear the earth of snow, followed by a rainstorm to soak out the frost, when a few days of dry weather would inaugurate seed time, and spring would gaily bear her blushing honors. Now, tho weather is as fickle as a coquette, the smile of followed by the tears of sunshine the rain storm with the chilling frown of keen blowing winds or gathering storm-clouprobably intervening. Yesterday the sun shone out lovely; this morning it was snowing smart enough to suit the taste of a Russian; in the afternoon the heavens smiled again, and all looked lovely; but as day fell, more snow fell; and now there is a threatening appearance that tolls of coming storm. Frugal farmers, good gardeners, and hardy husbandmen look on and query if the winters and springs of other lands have not emigrated here with the people. The event in this city since my last letter has been Ole Bull's concerts. Considering the cry about dull times and scarcity of money, one would hardly have thought there could have been found as many people with odd dollars as attended. Financially, the concerts were a success; artistically I think they were undoubtedly the greatest treat ever enjoyed by tho musical publio of this city. The company was good, but of course the great violinist himself was the centre ofadmiration thecynosuref all! I never heard such a greeting given to any artist here, so prolonged and hearty, and ho well deserved it. Figure to your self a tall, old gentleman, as pine on his own Norway mountains, the head thrown somewhat back, in his right hand a bow studded with diamonds, and in his left a violin four hundred years old, which he held affectionately and made it speak as his genius willed, every feeling finding voice in the richest melody. It will likely be long before Salt Lake City hears such another muster of the premier instrument. Hopes are freely expressed of an enlivening in business before a great while. It is hard to miy on what they are predicated, for at present clerks arc taking it easy, but such hopes are ent ertained. The numerous friends of Treat. Richards were much gratified to learn of his convalescence, and wish him a long, useful and happy life.
