The Montreal Courier of the 9TH instant states that
"'rhe communications between Mai Williams, con-.

Claiborne and Gholson did not resign
Immediately after the present session
OF Congress and come before the people
again, he would never Sd port them in
another election. They have not resigned
their seats, neither did they evince the
slightest disposition 10 do SO. On the con-
trary, they we're elected fron their seats;
and from the tenncity with which they
chung 10 their offices, it may, with GER
tanty, be inferred that they would still
have been there trampling upon the rights
of Mississippi, had not Congress indig-
nantly spurned them from its presence.
If Claiborne and Gholson should be the
democratic" candidate, we feel quite
certain that Gen. Brown will not sanction
their diaboIical pretensioI To those
who have sustained Claiborne and Ghol-
son, we can only say, that they must still
hold on to them; or by their desertion Of
these men at this oAsis, acknowledge
their former labored defence Of them 10
have been false and hypocritical They
have nailed the flag to the mast's head,
and honesty and consistency demand that
they should confde their fortunes TO the
ship they have already launched. lfClal-
borne and Gholson are nothing but masses
Of rottenness and corruption, we would
say, hug them the closer, for you have
administered the proper medicines to en-
gender moral filth and gangrene. 1t is a
trite but true saying, as you make your
bed, you must lie on it. The high-minded
and honorable portion Of the "Democracy"
who have, ab initio, disapproved of the
course Of these men, can, with an easy
conscience, vote for the men of their
choice. However, we would not be in
the slightest degree surprised, if the Mis-
sissippian and Free Trader should give a
word Of command to the contrary, TO see
all the pigmy prints of the latter class,
bow in submission, and whip into the ranks
as servilely as we ever saw circus horse
follow the lash Of his master. 6.

Believing that nothing would be more

Believing that nothing would be more
acceptable, or Of more practicable utility
10 the greater portion Of our readers, we
this week, to the exclusion Of all other mat
ter, publish entire the original charter Of
the Mississippi Union Bank, with the a.
mendments contained in the supplemental
Bill passed at the late session of the Le-
pislature. We have omitted the names of
the commissioners and appraisers for the
counties coming after Amite, in the sup
Elemental Bill, believing that they would
not be useful or interesting to many.
The primary object of the Union Bank
is to advance the agricultural interests Of
our young and hitherto prosperous State
That it will advance those interests, and
also, from the principles on which it is
founded, afford and assist in restoring
sound currency, are the fond anticipations
Of thousands. All therefore, who expect
TO derive benefits from this institution,
should examine its charter, and make
themselves familiar with its provisions;
such will find the present number Of the
Advocate a convenient and useful refer
ence. s.

ELECTION FOR CONGRESS.

Our Governor has issued writ to the
Sheriff Of this County, ordering an cleo
ton 10 be held on the 23rd and cath days
Of April next, TO elect two Representatives
TO Congress. Our patrons in the Thick
woods, Toler's and other parts olthe Coun-
iy will pnrraiva tho n"'i"a iniih III" ~-"--
of The Sheriff, in the Plney Woods Planter.
We are at loss TO understand the objects
Of this election. That we have Repre-
rentatiyes in Congress legally and consti-
tutionalIy elected, no man Of ordinary in
telligence and honesty can doubt. There
is palpably no vacancy 10 fill, for neither
Prentiss nor Word have resigned or depar-
ted this life. Upon what rational grounds
our simpleton Governor could have issued
this writ, we cannot comprehend. The
freemen of this State are reduced to two
alternatives equally revolving to their
chivalry and independence, to whether
not 10 vote and suffer those monsters Of
iniqui,y as we have styled Claiborne and
Gholson, to obtain their seats in Congress;
or submit, to the degrading alternative OF
marching to the polls again, merely to
subserve the whims and designs of dis
graced Party in Congress. However re-
voting and repugnant it may be to the
feelings Of the people, to turn out a.
gain, we still hope that they wlllrally to
the polls in undivided plaIanx, and silence
the noise and clamor, and shake off their
disgraceful vassalage to ignoble faction.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

II seems that the democracy" are not
disposed to rally upon the same candidates
for Congress. BY the Southern Star,
published at Gallatin, we perceive that
Cen. Brown, Of Copiah, and Barton, OF
Marshall, are nominated as democratic"
candidates. OF Barton, we know nothing.
Gen. Brown, we are personally acquainted
with, and look upon him as man OF sound
mind, respectable talents, and as beng
endowed with more manliness and lnde-
pendence than is uanal for the party. he
is bold, honest, upright poiitioie". The
fact is, that large, and the more honora-
lie portion Of the party, are sincerely
anxious to shake off Claiborne and Ghol-
son. We are glad to see the people OIL
Copiah arousing themselves and Tying 10
the rescue Of the right Of the people OF
this State TO choose their own rePresen'
tatives. Backed by this venerable ana
intelligent county, the Wings may conn

zens of our sister, Copiab, will never
prove recreant to the principles hallowed
by tho blood Of our patriotic ancestors

the rights of freemen, Claiborne and Gho''

racy." That is, every man who did not
believe the old U. s. Bank was unconstitu.
tionai, and that Gen. Jackson could have
presented the model Of one that was con.
stiiutionai, was no "Democrat." This test
soon gave way to more Distinguishing
mark OF democracy" the Procla nation.
When this stupendous piece of nonsense
made its appearance, every man who
would not cry amen, and sustain that doc
ument of hcresies, was no longer "Dem-
ocrat," but denounced as red hot FEEDER
alist Next came another test, the Re-
moval of the Public Deposites. When
this usurPation was pepetrated, every Que
who refused to sustain this act, was forth
with accommodated from the 'Demo-
cratic" ranks, and pronounced Federal
lst. Suddenly the decree went forth that
all those who would not applaud the Pres
ldcnt's Protest to the United States SEMI,
should no longer be deemed OF the "Dem-
ocracy." The triumph Of this test was
ephemeral. Upon the organization Of the
Pet Bank System, all were called upon to
yield assent. The disobedient were anon,
thrown out of the Party, and it was profan-
alton to speak Of them as democrats. !"
This mighty Executive fabric soon tum-
bled into ruins. The Pet Banks we're
charged with rascality and corruption,
and every one who would not join in the
hue and cry against those institutions,
were denounced, and elected from the
democracy" A new test has now been
conjured up, the Sub-Treasury Scheme.
This is now the standard Of Orthodoxy,
and Democracy All who do not approve
of this system are hurled out of the ranks,
and branded as deserters from the "Dem-
ocratic" cause. How long this system will
be the test of democracy" God only
knows. Judging from the past, its reign
cannot exceed two years. 1t will he dis
carded by the Party, and some other test
will be discovered more truly discrip-
tive Of democracy" Some new expert
ment will be embodied forth, and the fiat
will go forth, commanding unlimited obe-
dience. Those refusing will ofcourse, be
thrown aside. From this short investi-
CATION, it will be seen, that no fixed prin.
ciples have ever been the test Of "Democ-
racy." At one time they advocate one
kind of principles, and by the time they
are known, new sett Of principles spring
into existence to mark and verify the Par
ty. By the time, one ear-mark is healed
up, the earis again lacerated to furnish an
other mark to distinguish the PartyI and
now, in fact, there is scarcely any ear left
to inhict mark upon. The only liked
quality distinguishing the Party,i is uniim'-
tied obedience to their Oh ef. The histo-
nv of tho country will strictly substan-
tiate the inference we have drawn that no
fired principles have ever been referred
to as the standard Of Democracy. 1t has
been shifting from one point of the COM
pass to the other, eternally changing, and,
the application Of immutability to such a
cause, displays prodigious lack of COM
mon homcS.y, Va sense. Fro m
the developments within the last few
months, the patriot can hope for better
things. The people are awakening from
their lethargy, and tine dawn of Reforma-
ton is beginning to gild the East. q.
