Extract from Lsiisr dated

..Prentiss Is now absent al the north. He is
still announced in the papers here as candidate

he should be run in July, he being absent aud
having had no time to go over the state. Many
contend that it would be unjust to run him in Js-
hy--unjusi to HIMSELF and 10 the cause of whigge-
~. lie could do good deal if he was here, for
he is fine speaker, and clever fellow, still there
are many Of the wings who will not vote for HIM,
the old steaOy and religious ones. on account Of
his loose habits. There were some fifty persons
after weeks notice that attended the meeting
and nominated him. DR.. - suggested Gen.
Access name as candidate, but il was rsioed by
the meeting. Mr.. Prentiss' right hand
man, expressly stating that .7css was unpopular
at home, and could give no strength to Prentiss
there, and that he would be heavy drag for Prem

intention Of the wing party here-nine tenths Of
them--to give Prcntiss single shots. heard
gentleman from Rankin, and one from Madison,
declare the same thing at Pinchard's Hotel yes
terday. The fact is, Mr.. Acee is not known in
this part Of the State, and singlc-handed, the
Claiborne and Gholson ticket would run far
ahead of him. As it is, take my word for it, he
will fall far behind Preniiss in all the lower coun.
ties. The wing party in this region wished to
run Prentiss alone, or Prentiss aud lladley, and
no one supposed that Acee would jump ont upon
the single invitation given him BY the Natchez
Courier. There is OF course much grumblng
and discomfort particularly among the aspiran,s."

WooDvILLE, WILKINSON Co. June 23d.
ave have just heard that the Governor has or
dered an Election for members Of Congress on
the l7,h and 18Th Of July. for the called session
only. 1t has come up the wings like thun-
der clap upona fair day. They now give up the
ghost in despair. Claiborne and Gholson will
run at the july election with every advantage,
they arc known every where as the present meme
bers, and as faithful aud prominent members too;
:heir opponents are not known. P,entiss is
known ONLY in the river counties, aud even here
many Of the VIII gs don't like him; they consider
him too violent and wild, and Smith and Farrar

wont stand your man Acec. Claiborne and

have been ablo TO understand, was complete ID
borlion. being composed almost entirely Of ci-
zens Of the town. The strength of the bank ar.
lstociacy always lies in the towns. The coun-
try people, the honest yeomanry Of the land can
never be brought into their measures. This was
7r'aien OF Thomas :::-;'' And never did
that sage and patriot give utterance to a truer
sentiment. Lowndes County is still unconupted

over their aristocratic, bank opponents.

THE BANKITES 3 Mr.. PLUMMER.

1t was but the other day that the Biddle pape,
Of Natchez quoted Mr. Plummer as a staunch
Whig. We understand from questionable au.
hority that Mr.. Plummer has lately publicly de-
eIared himself against all banks, state or national
and that he is for gold and silver currency ex.
clusively.' What say you to this Mr.. Courier I
MIR. Plummer TOO is aatl-caucus to the back
bono. He was scurvily treated by tho Natchez
Wings in the late Canvass. Alter he had formed
their ticket, elected Lynch, and given to Wilkins
u respectable poll, with the understanding that
the hatcher inieres: should be transferred to him
IN the contest for the Senate. they perfidiocsy
dropped him, aud went in for Wilkins and Poin
dexter. Thus it is with the Wing party.-They
break their promises, they keep no faith, evince
no gratitude.-We mean their leaders. Their
whole aim is 10 deceive their own friends, and
climb into office, even IL at cvcDs they crush
down faithful partizan.
trWe cannot afford, these hard times, 10
waste ammunition on sach dwelling prints as
the Mississippi Star-The game is no. worth
the candle.

THE WINGS AGAINST TEXAS.

sthe noble efforts and the talents with Shlch they
have defended his cause" With the zane pro-
prety might they thank Webster, the tavOrIe Of
those papers, and now the Wig candidate for
the Presidency. They are all against Texas,
aud that glorious little Republic will Ohv be sus-
tai.ed and added to this union BY democratic
votes. II was only last year hat Webster, the
National lntelligencer, and the wings took side
with the French against the ADMINISTRATION, and
did every thing in their power to prvvent France
from rendering justice N this country. During
the last war, Webster and his friends in Massa-
chusetts refused TO obey the orders Of President
Madison to march beyond tho frontiers, and now.
to cap the climax Of their treason. they go for
Mexico against Texas But Mr.. Van, Rwen
and tho democracy will sustain that glorious
cause. We have friends. brothers, countryuen in
Texas. Tho memory ur her murdered PARROTS,
the fas,e Of her victorious heroes are ahk dear

see her brought into this union, a free and over

brought in Arkansas and Michigan, rgaiht the
wishes Of Webster, Riddle and the Bank patty.
Every paper we receive from the eastern cites
confirm the state Of utter bankruptcy and runto
which Biddle's Bank has been reduced. Tbs
general impression Is that it will net pay fifty
cents in the dollar. No case Of equa insolyes-
cy has occurred among all the Banks that hare

like Jcnah's gourd has wiihered in n,hi, was

SENATE, FnIpAY, Jan. 27.


In the Senate on Friday last, Two coming
vents OF very deep interest were ioreshadowed
IN the dchatc;-onp Of these, the future 3tatc of
the Colonization Society, produced some excite
mrnt by causing an interesting side debate, II we
might use the word, brtwten some of the first
member, Of The body minds which IT is always
instructive 10 see brought INTO collision. 1t was
occa,oncd by Mr.. Clay's presenting n memorial
from citizens of Washington members Of the
ColonlzalIong Society, giving brlef history OF
the use objects mud means OF the society, and
praying (of an act Of incorporation. lie moved
TO print and refer the memorial 10 the conn ittee
on the District oil Columbia
Mr. Calhoun Immediately rose and while he
said he had no wish to oppose the reference be
had the strongest feeling that the Introduction
of the subject WAS niSchiev0us and pernlclous,
and hoped that the committee would never act
upon II.
Mr.. Clay seemed taken aback by this opposi-
ton, which he however might have expected, as
opposition of this society IS one Of the cardinal
principles of y. Carolina doctrine. lie express
ed his regret and surprise at what had been said,
and in his most persuasive and conclllating man
ner entered into explana tions-he SAID in sub
stance that the society was purely benevolent
one it touched no mans right, II invaded no
mans property, it disturbed none oil The existing
relations of society. The dislracGng question
which had been alluded to, must, in the course
Of things sooner or later, force itself upon the
attention Of the country ; and when that time
should come the good, the Just q the generous
would look to this society as the great iHstru-
ment of safety and security. 1t was a matter OF
deep regret that now adays no union of sentiment
seemed possible on any subject. This was the
era Of conflicting opinions. The time for har
monv seemed to have passed by. He did hope
that no man would have been found 10 oppose
the prayer of these petitioners. The society mad
received donations in land and money-MadIson,
the mos, illustrous of the Virginia statesmen,
had left il legacy and from lis not being moor
rorated, he had TO leave it TO the Secretary, Mr.
Guley, in trust for the society, line society
lilo ,hem The more effectually to hold and dis
burse such donations, according to the intent OF
those who had made them It could not be
doubted but that Congress had the right 10 pass
such an act They had already Incorporated
many benevolent societies in the District OF Co
lumbia. Theirright to do it was unquestionaole,
il could not be denied
Mr.. Calhoun became more animated. lie sta
ted in substance that the understanding was DIS
tinct from the first that the reference oil all such
p.,i,lons was to b, opposed, and he denied the
