entitled the Mississippi Sentinel and
State Rights Exposition, edited and
published by Drs. Green and lIaaau.
The great and growing resources
Iof Mississippi, and the rapid increase
OF wealth, population aud business,
seem to demand another paper in this
/ city.
The political character Of this paper
wiIl,be indicated BY is title. II HHI
advocate the great principles Of State
Rights and State Remedies, and an
nounce, from tho watch-tower, every
encroachment of the Federal Govern.
ment on the rights of the States and
the Liberties of the people. BY fro-
quent recurrence to first principles
and the dootrinosstaught by the fran
ers Of the Constitutions, Il will en-.
deavor to impart clear views Of the
| federal compact, that the people may
be enabled to mark, and prepared to
resist the advances Of despotism and
corruption.
The peculiar institutions Of the
South, and the present crisis, require
energy, intelligence and organization
on the part Of the people. The wealth
and luxury Of Rome only stimulated
| the rapacity and ayaricc Of the north
|ern barbarlans. We must not only,
individually, become acquainted with
| the rights and interests of the South,
but we must effect such a union Of
leeling-such a physical organization
as will defy the bold schemes of fmat.
iclsm and the Wiles of treachcrous
! demagogucs; and transmit to posteri.
ty our glorious institutions, pure as
We received them from the hands Of

The congress was in session, and the two
Houses were discussing bill for the issue
of Treasury drafts for the payment of the
public debt. The House was in favor of the
issue Of three millions, the supposed amount
of the public debt, with pledge of the public
domain, and of the public faith for their re-
demption. The Senate was for limiting the
issue to one million, for fear that the issue of
so large an amount would tend to deprecate
their value. Mr.. LIE Brambe, our Charge

The Wing Dinner at the Astor House, N.
Y, on Tuesday Of last week, given in honor
of Messrs. Bell, Graves, and Underwood, is
said to have been one of the most brilliant af-
fairs of the kind ever got up in that City. 1t
was attended by large number o" members
of Congress, and Other distinguished gentle
men from various sections of the country
Ogden Hoffman presided. Addresses were
made by Messrs. Bell, Granger, Southard,
Kennedy, Sturgis, Gov. Pennington,and Dan
iel Webster.
The N. Y. American, in its account Of this
festival, says:
Il "To Mr.. Webster, as one at home among
us, bound to US by ties Of kindred, and even
more by gratitude for eminent services. and
by warm affection,no toast was given till late
in the evening.
But when that toast was given by the Chair
! man in his happiest Manner and when the
compliments he so justly and so eloquently
! poured forth to Massachusetts and her disin-
guished son, the champion Of the Constitu-
ton, fell upon the delighted ears o! that as
sembly of whom, late as it was,no one scarce
ster was to spenk--thcre burst forth such mp
plausc, as belong to few men to merit-to
fewer still to receive when mcrited.
At the close of the cheerings, Mr.. Webster
r rose, and for nearly two hours held the audi
ence in unbroken admiration, by discourse
8 which-touching almost all the prominent
@ topics before the nation as with ray Of light
and yet dwelling upon none so as to fatigue
constituted at once a review of the past
! and an exhortaton for the future-so clear
so eloquent and so patriotic, as to comman'
the assent of all judgments and all hearts.
We shall not even essay to name the var'
- Gus topics he treated-save only his solcm
g declaration on one point now under discussion
e by a large and respectable convention here
, that Of the currency. lie said most cmphati
q caly, that duty and honor and Wing princi
d pies and Wing faith, required the earlies
q possible resumption ofspecie paymeDts-an
that in Judging of the period for that resumT
e ton, prpediency was not the main consdert
% ton, but moral obligation.
The conclusion OF Mr.. Webster's speec
}" was eloquent, even beyond his previous e
cl forts-and the throbbng bosom of every A
ia merican present. told how deeply, how pur'
'ly, they felt his noble, his inspiring tribute
o. affection and attachment to this his own, b
