1t was suggested in the first number.
that Mr. Van Buren, is intent in providing
currency for the Government, without
showing any concern about currency for
the people. This is sufficiently evident
from the course he has pursued, and from
the measures he recommends. And il re.
ally does seem as if, since gaining the
presidency, he felt himself isolated from
the people, as well as identified with the
Government; so far at least as the question
OF currency is concerned, which is at all
times vital question, and at at this par
tcular time momentous and absorbing
question with the whole nation.
And why this distinction between the
governing and the governed! If silver
en1 gold be necessary TO pay the officers
ana agents of the government for their
services, Is not the same sort of money
as necessary to pay the agriculturist for

THE MISSISSIPPI DELEGATION.

After long discussion, at six O'Clock
on the evening of the Sd inst. it was deci
ded in the House of Representatives by a
vote OF ll8 In favor and l01 opposed, thai
Messrs. Claiborne and Gholson, of this
State, were duly entitled to their seats. rs
members for the whole of the 25th Con.

voted against this decision, viz: Mr.
Towns, of Georgia. The vote was strict
ly on party grounds; the administration
members, with the above mentioned ex.
ception, all advocated their claims. Eigh-
teen or twenty Wings were absent.
1t will be noted by the public, that these
gentlemen did not submit their case to the
unbiased decision of Congress, but in the
face of the will and wishes of their con-
sttuents, they claimed, nay, imperiousIy
demanded, their seats for the whole Of the
goth Congress as their right. In fact,
this very day we were shown letter from
washington, stating that they had given
the members Of Congress to understand
that their constituents expected them TO
retain their seats, and elected them with
that intent! The concluding part of the
"ArgGment" they submitted to the Com.
mlttee on Claims, boldly declares the same
