He thought of his parents in their bereaved
loneliness, of his betrothed in her broken

ssorrowing tenderness. He was az brave !.
man as ever confronted death; still he
thought it was fearful thing to WELD I'M
his life in its young hopes, and to enter into
the unknown boundlessncss of eternity
with few hours preparation. He asked
tor the company Of clergyman, but mono
came; for a Bible, but none was nrocnroa
lie kncil down IN his last prayer, and the
osntpnnrlng OF his soul was broken in mon
ov those who came to conduct him to the
galio"s tree. He went forth 10 his excc,.

~ brink OF eternity, by false bravado
against nature, rushing, with his proud soul

From the New York Gazette.

A few DAYS before the ln.e election. Mr.
Sil,S Wright, being askcl his opinion OF the
conduct of his ,llca.ne in the Uniei
States Senate, (Mr Tallmedgc.) replied
that it ought to. be one nf the first acts
or the New York Legislature TO instruct
Mr. Tallnad e to resig'.! Is 1t hes t,

more thin seven to one, that is all. what
is Mr. virgins present opinion OF the duty
of the Legislature? Does he think Il one
Of its first duties to instr,ct him TO resign ?
Iflhere is any thing dsrespec,fal in this
liberty which we take with Mr.. Slas
Wright, we beg him TO believe that there
is no malice in it-nothing in the worl ]
bnt a sort Of Yankee inanlsltivcncss, tha'
he. and we, and all the rest OF Mr.. W.'s
and our Eastern coan'rymen fad it almost
impossible to shake off. M. Wright is no.

cause the Legislature happens to have II
in It's power to do SD by the voice of 81 ne
where about fifty thousand m,jprity of vo-
tiers, and because VIC have bad the impu-
dence to romind him and them of the fact
but we thought it might not he amiss to sag

iny ourselves in the doctrine of instruction
but, as Mr. Wright docs, we can't see thai
there is any particular harm in the oh

PUBLIC MEETING.

The citizens of Jefferson caantv arc re-
nuested to meet. generally, without dIsfinc-
tion of party, at the courthnnse IN faye"e,
on Friday in Court week. the 18th INST, at
10 M. for the purpose Of expressing their
opinion upon the conduct of Messrs. ClaI-
borne and Gho!snn, in claiming and dec'ar-
ing that thew will hold their seats tor the
whole ofthe 25fh Congress, although elect
ed only for the called session.
By the notice above, orr readers find,
that a meeting will be held at Fayette, on
next Friday. for the purpose of considering
the course of our representatives in the last
session Of occre Clinton follow cd up the
election, by giving in primary assembly,
form and uttcrance to the indssPutabe sem
timent of the State upon the course OF those
delegates, and Adams county has placed
the Question in a feasible for.: for the gen
eral action Of the State by starting memo
rails to Congress upon it. The meeting at
Fayetie, will, we understand, be asked to
decide upon the propriety Of seconding old
Adams in her call upon the State to advance
IN its might, to the door of Congress, and
demand, that her inalcnable, inherent right
Of electing her own public servants, shall
not he usurped.
Let every man who appreciates and
prizes his elective franchise, go to this pub
lie meeting, and convince Claiborne and
Gbpisor that they shall not ride over US,
'booied and spurred,' striking down Icy a
single blow, our power and privilege of vo-
ting.
We entreat the Wing presses, the Wing
leaders Of every county, 10 taNc up ana
press this matter. We adjure them, by
every dear political principle, to join us in
following up by this step, orr great victory
in this State; let US back Pren'iss and
Word with still further and more energetic
expressions of the public will. s'Strike for
your country!' Sleep no'-be firm and
active, and Van Burcnism dies, never to
be revived.

THE BANKS OF TIE STATE, AND
THEIR PURCHASES OF COTTON.

We take up this subject with great diff
dence, for we cannot do it justice. But it
is attracting so much attention, and Jeffer-
son county is so extensively and deeply
interested in it, that we are tempted to ap-
proach it, not with the vain hope Of enlight-
ening the public, but with the view Of offer
ing some hints for their consideration.
In these times of commercial distress, and
prostrate confidence and currency, there is
no prophet to foretell the end Of the projects
that the different banks have set on foot fer
the purpose of fortifying their vaults with
specie. The countless rami6cations of
trade, the war of interests, the apparent
!, impracticability Of concert, the perpetual
motion of the scale of debts and credits,
and above alLthese and other causes, the
utter poverty If conjecture as to the course
Of our rulers, battle all calculations, and per-
pick the judgment of the wisest. All are
at1sea with an imperfect compass, a broken
rudder, a foul anchor and bad captain.
That many banks out Of the State must
stop, whenever the resumption of specie
payment takes place, is nearly certain;
that some will even make money during
the period Of suffering, is probable; that all
should avoid adding, by unwise risks or Sc
we're processes against creditors, to the great
sum Of jealousy already existing toward
them in the public mind, is palpably true.
There is no room for fear that any bank
ing institution in Mississippi will be unable
to join the other solvent corporations of the
country il . simultaneous return TO specie
payments: for they are all in as healthy
and vigorous condition, as any set of Banks
in the Union; and il falls but little short Of
! certainty, that they will rapidly increase
theirstock of gold and silver, by iudicious
purchases Of cotton.
By the way, we, with pleasure, add our
tribute Of compliment to the Brandon Bank.
FIR its able and patriotic stand in the cause
Of Mississippi emancipation. 1t was the
FIRST to act under the grand scheme of buy
ing and shipping the staple of the State,
within the State itself Its accomplished

power to pay for them with the notes of
our State institutions. The chief obstacle.
it appears to ns, to the adoption of this plan,
is the fat, that merchants cannot obtain
money now, nor until commerce RECEIVERS
from its present low estate. They NAV
commapd credit--they cannot obtain the
money TO psy>fer the goods. Their colIec-
tons dnrinE fhe coming month must, of ne
cessity, b small; and whilo the planters
expect md require indulgence from the
merchant, let the Bark, whose daty it is to

quarter on this subject alternately. This
request, by order of the Board, has never
been repliedto, or complied with. Thus
you can Judge for yourself what our
prospects are. r We had anticipated
from our past history. that from the mutu-
al support of ministers and people, We
could make successful aggressive move
ments in putting down this hateful vice {;
but We fear that the policy Of prudent si-
lence on this subject, 50 long tried, and
under which sin has been so rapidly in
creasing, will still be the policy here. We
lament that so few are willing to act fear
lessly on the side of virtue, whose hearts,
we think, rejoice wien this cause of truth
and right triumphs. Could any expedi-
ent be adopted to combine and concentrate
powerful action, as we'll as opinion and
sentiment, we think our object would east
~ be accomplished. Especially do we
lament that ministers, whose business it is
to apply the truth to the consciences of
men, should shrink from a bold defence
of Gods whole counsel. We commend
Paul for reproving idolatry at Ephesus
and We stand ready TO commend and sus-
