COMMUNICATIONS,
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

This is a very lengthy communication
on a single subject. As to language, it
we'll expressed; as to substance or practi
cal purpose, a rare specimen of parvum Il
muIto, for state paper from such a source
We look into it in vain for any proposed
measure, worthy Of the call of Congress
from the four corners of the Union, unde,
a burning August sun. 1t is true, certain
things are recommended TO keep the
Government in motion, and regulate it,
course. But how long will it move to ad
vantage, if the main spring of action be
suffered to lose its elastcity?-ifthe pecu.
mary power Of the people become more
and more parlyzSd, under the protracted
pressure of disordered currency?
There is a material difference between
a pressure from the want of money. and
a pressure from the want of current mo.
ney. This distinction is best illustrated
by actual fact, by case in point. In the
late scarcity, a planter went about ftv
miles to town on the Mississippi, with
bank notes which were quite current a
week or two before, to purchase load of
corn, and returned home with an empty
wagon, from the want of hard money
There may have been many other similar
hard cases; but we all know that this es.
sential article could not be obtained with
our paper money, but at an enormous dis
count.
only two instances Of pressure from
the want of current money, are within the
knowledge Of the writer hereof. One was
In our last war with England; the other
now exists. Pressures from the want of
all sorts of money, have been of more
frequent occurrence. There was one n
few years after the close of the war.
which seemed to be severely felt in some
States, especially in South Carolina. And
there was another of more notoriety, if
not OF more severity, about the time of
the removal of the Deposites, the cause
OIL winch was question of much debate
ana recrlmlnation. A pressure from mere
scarcity OF the circulating medium, though
severe and injurious, is not generally
lasting, and may relieve itself without
legislative remedy. But it is hard to saw.
when, or how, disordered, deprecated
currency may be restored to q healthy
state and wonted value. Legislative pro-
vision was deemed indispensable to a re.
'toratlon of the currency in the last war.
md hence the institution Of the late Bank
u the United States. Soon after its esta-
'llshment the local banks began to resume
pecle payments, and it was not long be.

I The Presidents message is entirely too
lengthy for publication in our little sheet
The necessity, however, for publishing il
will be superseded by the numerous ex-
tracts we shall make from it, and from its
publication in the various newspapers
subscribed for in our county We are
pleased with the communication of Ju,,iuS
on the subject, and invite the undivided at
tention of our readers to his article. The
author is one of the most profound men in
the State, and has never mingled in the
party politics of the day; he has been a
silent observer of passing events, his own
nelghbors not even knowing how nor for
whom he voted. But now that he sees
our currency destroyed, the whole coun-
try plunged into rum and bankruptcy, and
an attempt making by those who impious-
iy style themselves democrats, to unite
the purse and the sword in the hands of
the Executive, he, like true patriot, has
taken a stand in defence of his injured
country's rights. When such men as
Junus buckle on their armor, the example
should incite every man, who wishes cor
rect principles to triumph over humbug-
gerry, to redoubled action; it calls loudly
upon the hardy yoomanry of the country
to rise in their might and sweep from the
stage those little letter-writing demagogues
who are pandering to their passions and
prejudices for their own elevation. Jun
Jus has promised to continue his remarks
until the election. He is welcome, thrice
welcome to our columns. Publisher.

THE MISSISSIPPI ELECTIONS,

Last summer the Governor of Missis-
slppl issued his proclamation for the cleo
ton of two members Of Congress to fill
vacancies in that body until the regular
election in November. The whole can
vass was conducted by both parties on the
ground, that the candidates, who might
be elected would be entitled to their seats
no longer than that time, and the people
voted under that impression. Messrs.
Claiborne and GholSon were the success
lul candidates, and they considered them
selves elected to serve only till November
lmmedia tely after their election, the edi-
tor OF the Mississippian, the organ of their
party, again placed their names at the
head Of his columns as the candidates to
be supported at the November election.

several weeks, but we perceive, that he

Withdrawn them. We have no difficulty
IN understanding this movement. The
Van Buren, managers in Mississippi, catch

late.PaPers from the East, are determined
to insist, that Claiborne and Gholson. not
outstanding the express understanding
OF the people to the contrary, are already
elected for two years, and, that there can
be no election in November They are
afraid TO risk trial in November; they

AUBURN, Kinds co., Sept. 5, 1885,

AUBURN, Kinds CO., Sept. 5, 1887.
To The Editor Of the Somherner:
Dear Sir:--ln regard to what occurred
between Mr.. Claiborne and myself on the
Bank question, | will make brief state.
ment. On the Saturday previous to the
election, Major Catlett called on me, and
gave me a bundle of tickets. which he said
Mr.. Claiborne wished me to distribute at
the ensuing election, and at the same time
told me that Mr.. c. would not be able TO
call on me personally, but that he wished
me to understand that he was in favor of
National Bdnk-not a Biddle Bank. but
a Bank founded upon the Treasure, with
branches in the several States, as thew
were needed. remarked to Major Cal.
lett, that this would not satisfy me. !
told him that was a personal friend to
Mr.. Claiborne, but that | would not suffer
my personal feelings to bias nv vote;
that at such time as this must he con.
trolled by higher principles; that our
country had exhibited unparalleled pros
pcrity with Biddle's Bank as the organ
of exchange, and that did not think The
system could be improved. About two
hours after, Mr.. Claiborne did call on me.
He told me that he was in favor of a
National Bank. He asked me if | had
seen Cen Hamiton's letter; replied that
| had. He told me that he was in favor
OF the principles contained in that letter
throughout. He wished me to say to the
voters of this precinct, that he went to
the fullest extent for the principles of that
letter, and that he ran upon that ground.
He said he did not pretend to be great
financier, but was willing to Join cordially
with the great statesmen of the day in re-
lieving the country from its embarrass-
ments' That he being planter, was as
much interested in it as any one. He
went still further, and said he was in favor
Of having the accruing DepositeS placed in
he present United States Bank, as tenn
Dorary measure of relief for the purpose
If restoring confidence, until something
more effectual could be devised and
ldopted And he pledged himself to me,
hat within ten days after the opening of
congress, provided he was elected, and in
ase no other member moved the subject,
e would himself maze motion to that
fleet. Perhaps, said |, if it should be
bought best to take up and re-charter the
resent United States Bank of Pennsylva-
ia, you would support the measure. He
ssured me positively and unequivocally,
nat he would. told him that | was very
lad Of having had this interview with
i'm, for if had not, should have voted
gainst him.
On the succeeding Monday, at the polls,
stated to the voters the subject of this
,nversation. | told them that was per-
city satisfied with Mr.. Claiborne's prin-
iples respecting a National Bank; that
G had conceded every thing that could
