STATE CoNvENTIoN-Thc Columbu
Argus contains the following sensible AM
wcl-timed article as to the propriely an,
Importance of a Wing State Convention
We transfer i: without remark:
In former number of our paper we ask
cd the question, What are the Whigs in hi,
State dOingf' But as yet we have heart
no response. 1t is timo something was
done, An important election is to be helc
in the month of November, and already
are the the Van Buren, faction in the field
with their spies and managers in every
county, encouraging the wavenng, an
"cutting and drying" the plans they think
will insure them success. They triH MOI
be diUided, Their whole force will be
brought to bear on single candidates, anil
they hope for victory in unity. Is it posi-.
ible, in view Of these things, that the friends
-ofgoOd order, the opponents of executive
msrule and the hateful Treasury Circular,
or IN ono word, the WHlGS of Mississippi,
will-divided and dcstroyed-sleep and al
low their enemies to destroy them in de-
taiI?--Heaven Forbid!
Let us then take up the same weapons,
in the rse Of which onr enemies have hth
erto been successful. Lot a STATE
CONVENTION be held at some central
point, composed Of delegates from every
county of the State, appointed by the people
in their primary assemblies. When assem-
bled, let them select from the offering can
'rlidatcs the names Of citizens for Governor
and congressman, and let it be understood
that the nomination tho Convention makes
is binding on the whole party opposed to the
present administration Of the general gov
eminent.
The people in their primary assemblies
will select gentlmen for the various county
offices; such as Senators, Representatives.
Sherifs, Clerks, &c. Let US be UNI
TED and the victory is ours.
This is no time to cavil about the means
to be used to iAsure success, provided they
are honest and upright. The dreadful
storm which is now desolating the
whole Union--a storm caused by the
mismanagement, ignorance and prufiigacv
OF our rulers, should induce every man that
possesses the privileges Of freedom TO take
his stand in the defence Of his country.
We propose for the consideration of our
brethren Of the Wing press the prepricty
concert Of action, by request.

MITcHELL, we have been pat in possession
Of files Of Texas papers to the l6 ii ultimo
They contain the message Of Presiden
Houston, To both Houses ofCongress, which
met on the fist day Of May at tho city o
HOUsToN.
The message is very creditable docu
menf, and takes nn enlarged anl liberal view
If tho condition and prospects of the coun
try,and is,(as far rs we can judge pol tic ia
lis recommendations We have only room
Ior the following extract:
"At the adjournment Of the last ression,
the country was under the apprehension Of
an invasion from our enemy, which created
much solicitude, and had an unkind inhu-
ence on nur fore ign relations. 1t was tcm-
porary in lis effects, as was manifested in
the recognition of our independence Ivy the
Government of the United States Of Amer
ca. We now occupy the proud attitude ofa
sovereign and independent Republic; which
will impose upon us the obligation Of ovinc.
ing to the world that we are worthy to be
free. This will only be accomplished by
wise legislation, the maintenance Of our in.
tegrity, and the faithful and just redemption
of our plghted filth wherever it has heen
pledged. Nothing can be better calculated
to advance our interests and character than
the establishment of liberal and disinter-
ested policy, enlightened by patriotism, and
guided by wisdom.
"The plln of lcgisIating for present emer,
gencies, without reference to a general and
permanent system, will render a govern
ment less stable in its institutions and less
prosperous in its progress, than it must be
where a proper Foundation is laid, and
corresponding fabric is erected ON its bas-
is. Diversified interests, must exist in eve
ry community, and that sys'em which is
best calculated to promote the general in.
teFest, is the ono which should be adupied
and adhered to with fidelity. The represen-
tatlves ofthe sovereign people by calm
and deliberate discussion Of the various in
tercsts Of the different sections of our coun-
try will be enabled to arrive at such conclu-
sions as will in luce them to adopt course,
which must be in its effects, both salutary
and pleasing to every true patriot.
The operation of the Land Office law is

visions, vesting a discriminating control in
