Liberty advocate. [volume] (Liberty, Miss.) 1835-1866, 1838-02-24

In the Planter of last week we notice
communication over the signature of p.
b. Van Norman, the post master at this
place, which seems to have been elected
by our remarks Of the preceding week, on
the irregularity of the mails 1t has
been limited that Mr.. vun Norman is not
the author ofthe communication, but be this
as it may, it comes to us in his name with
his consent, and as he has manifested
very great solicitude to know the opinion
of the community on what he calls his
"piece," we shall treat it as his production !;
and if he has made himself the cats paw
for the monkey and gets his fingers burnt,
1t will be the result of his own folly. Mel
Their in the article to which Mr.. V. refers,
nor in any other ever published in the
Advocate, has he been noticed in any
other than courteous and complimentary
terms, which from late Developments, we
are sorry to say he lily merited. We
therefore see no good reason why Mr..
Van Norman should consider himself Zone
OF the assaied." and ''one Of the cruisers
of Amos, who are blamed with having
detained the advocate" unless it be that
a "guilty conscience needs no accuser.' -
Mr.. Van Norman says he is in possession
q, the facts, and knows that we had two
oh;ee IS in view in penning the notice of
which ne complains. One Of them, he
saws. wos 6. 20 excuse the conductors of the
Liberty Adyoc, ate for neglect Of duty-dis-
honesty" and tn. other to "bring the ad-
ministration into d 'isrcpute by sinking
their officers.r As 10 the second object
attributed 10 us, we arc 'o-"orkerS WIN
probably nine-tenths of the a. 'mlnls'fatlon
press in bringing the officers of amos INTO
disrepute, and Mr.. V. sometimes lends
his aid, for he asserted but a few q 'ays
since that any one who would 90 into tn, :

guised our opposition to the adninistra.

OnSaturday, the Sd instant, the Missis'
sippi question came up for discussion. a
letter to the House from Mr.. Claiborne
was read by the Clerk. Messrs. Martin,
Bell and Parker successfully addressed
the House. Some time was spent in max
ing a call of the members, when It was
found that all in the city excepting two
were present. Mr.. Clowney spoke in ia
vor Of the claimants. Mr.. Prentiss asked
for five minutes leave to reply to some as
sertions contained in Mr.. Claiborne's let
ter, but L was refused permission. The
House rtsounded with the cry for the ques
ton. Mr.. Garland, from Louisiana, in;
troduced an amendment to Mr.. Howard
resolution excluding Messrs. Prcntiss an
Word, the certificate Of their election
from the Governor Of Mississippi. This
amendment being objected to, it was with
drawn. Mr.. Towards resolution declar
ing Messrs. Prentss and Word not enti.
tied to their seats in the 25th Congress
was finally put TO vote. The result being
a tie, the Speaker gave his casting vote il
favor Of the resolution, so that it was
passed, and the legally elected representa-
tiyes from Mississippi were excluded from
their seats. Thus rests the matter al

LIBERTY ADVOCATE
LIBERTY, FEBRUARY "a, 1888.


BY the casting vote of the Speaker, it
has oeen decided that Messrs. Prentiss and
Word, are not entitled to Seats in the twen-
ty fifth Congress. By what process ofrea-
soning the House arrived at this decision,
we are unable to conceive, but suspect 1t may
be CLEANED from the following statement
of the Washington Correspondent of the
Mississippian-"With the exception of
White of Indiana, the vote was strict
party one.n Can il be possible that the
right of Mississippi to be represented by
the men of her choice, depends on par
ty vote! Must she be put to the expense
and inconvenience of elcc,ing representa-
tives every three months, and still be I'M
represented because the men Of her choice,
do not suit the fastidious taste Of the par
~ in power? Must her laws be suspend
ed, because they are incompatible with the
interests of a predominant party in Con-
gress? Will freemen submit to such tri-
fling with their dearest rights and the dig
nifty Of the Statei No, every one whose
bosom swells with the Patriotic emotions
of State pride will respond in unison with
the voice "iroGn the cradle in which young
Liberty was first rocked" ''ltwas for this
very right of representation our fathers
fought the battles Of the revolution, and
ere we will surrender this dear-bought
right those battles shall again become
stern realities.n
new election will probably be order
ed shortly. Let then every one act as
becomes freemen, and our legally elected
representatives will be returned to congress
bearing a mandate which partizans dare
not disregard. And it will be shown to the
world, that although the political tempest
has ragged, the pillows Of party strife have
wasted their fury, and the Goddess Lib
erty still stands unmoved on the "sea-beat-
en- rock" S.

CONGRESS.

From the special correspondent Of the
baltimore American, we have CLEANED the
following summary of the proceedings in
our national Legislature. In the Senate
on the 3Oth January, a report was made
by the Secretary of the Treasury, in re-
gard to the Commonwealth Bank of Mas
sachusetts, in reply TO a resolution Of Mr.
Webster, offered several weeks since, in
regard to the payment of pensions and
hshlng bounties, in bills of The Common.
wealth Bank. The payment in those bills
was acknowledged by the Secretary, but
excused on the ground that it was youn.
tary. Mr. Webster, after the report was
read, stated that the treasurer was wrong,
Tor ne held in his hand an affidavit, which
SAID thatthe pensioners had warmly solici-
TED the agent to make payment in other
funds The reply Of the agent was, that
commonwealth Bank fund, and nothing
else, could be paid. The affidavit read BY
Mr.. Webster, and which Mr.. Webster had
received unsolicitude by him, excited
much interest in the Senate-clearly con-
trovertlng the opinion in Woodburys
report. Several memorials were then pre-
senled-one from a number Of Cherokees,
praying for pensions, in consequence Of
W wounds received in the battle Of the Horse
onoe; and another by Mr.. Calhoun, from
charleston, in behalf Of the Wilmington
ana charleston rail road company, who
ask for the establishment of a mail route
land promise to gain forty hours, in car
rying the mail between Washington and
charleston, and forty-eight hours between
washington and Augusta, in Georgia.
some comments were made upon the me-
norlal, by Messrs. Calhoun and Preston;
md the slowness with which the mail was
arried at the south, was alluded to " cen
