on the bank hobby; but unfortunately for them, the

ted young Representatives in the last Congress-
AZ the head Of our editorial column to-day. Their
reelection is certan--absolutely certain. A
correspondent from down below. an old resident
who is perhaps better acquainted with the Pol'''-
cal opinions Of the people Of the State than any
other man in Il, writes US that Claiborne's and
Ghoison's majority will be not less than two thou

attempt an encomium on Our two noble and high
spirited young men, who so well and ably sustain
cd the character, and interests Of Mississippi IL

They have found them trustworthy, and their al
most unanimous award has been, "well done good
and faithful servants" Were il not for the pres
sure Of tie times which the wings are turning to a
political account they would BIO reelected BY &C

ecregious mistake in the wri,s which he has is

us that he understands the Secretary Of State has
been ordered by the Governor to suspend issuing

right view Of the subject He says;
1.-THE Governor. by that document seems to
think that the members elected at the special

ded by others. This is certainly an error. The
called session is but an extra session of the 25th
Congress. member cannot be elected for less
than the whole term of Congress, unless in
cases of death, resignation or expulsion. The
Governor by issuing the writ acknowledged his

A Hoax! Our wing friends here, and We
know that there are many Of that party who are
our personal friends, we're much taken IN by an
ingenious hoax perpetrated by some One' about
CINCINNATI, we believe. An article was copied IN
the Nashville Banner and Republican, PurPertlng
to be an extract from the Washington Globe, IN
which il was stated there had been 'a blow up
in Mr.. Van Burens Cabinet, that Messrs. For
syth and Poinsett had resigned &c. The wings
swallowed this very greedly, and proclaimed that
the downfall Of the administration was at hand
Rather too fast gentlemen. There is no "blow
up" in the Cabinet-The most perfect harmony
prevails in il. The Administration IS gong on
smOolhly-it has the entire confidence OF vast
majority of the American people, and will triumph

.schemes Of the wings.
