SENTINEL AND ExPosIToR.

This valuable publication bearing date
the 18th inst, reached US this week This
is the third number Of that paper that we
have received this year. The Register
published at the same place is more social
its visits are neither so few or far be-
tween. We know not how to account for
this, but strongly suspect that certain post
masters care as little for the Sentinel as
they do for the Advocate, and although
they feel confident that "their faith will
not be changed by it" they have not so
much confidence in the firmness of others.

MISSISSIPPI WITHOUT REpREsENrArroN.

MISSISSIPPI WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.
The decision has at last been made and
the result is that Congress has seen fit to
nullify the legal acts ofthe citizens of Mis-.
slsslppi, and declare her to be without n
delegation in the House. How the people
will submit to this open and outrageous
violation of their rights and privileges,
remains to be seen; but as fur as the can.
didates for those seats are interested, we
view 1t as matter Of minor importance,
Tor should the race again be run, the tri-
umph would be still more glorious than
that of the last election. But the cues
ten at once arises, can the solemn decis.
ion OF the people Of sovereign State be

thus recklessly invaded, whenever party
caprice or party Vaccinations may die

sidefatlon, and one that demands the at

character, and Of every real friend of the
inalienablc rights Of tho State OF which

MISSISSIPPI ELECTION.

1t should be subject of congratulation
with the public generally, that the contro-
yersy before the House of Representatives
at Washington is brought to close. For
fifteen days did it ocdupy the attention OF
that branch of the national legislature, al
most to the exclusion of all other business.
The progress of Legislation was retarded,
and the transaction Of matters of great
national Importance seriously impeded by
the prolracted debates of the rival candl-
dates. 1t would be curious calculation TO
ascertain what it has cost the govern
ment, to settle the dispute between the re-
representatives. from Mississippi. The re-
suit must be very hatterlng to the feelings
Of Messrs. Prentiss and Word, although
perhaps sense Of the business of their
claims, may have led them to expect more
than wss accorded to them. 1t was GER
tainly triumph Of right and eloquence,
over might and party influence, notwith-
standing the connexion of Gholson and
Claiborne with the predominant party In
the House, lhey we're obliged 10 succumb
to the superior genius and better title of
their antagonists, the obstinacy of party
influence itself, not being sufficient to re-
sist the urgency of argument and the
force of truth. For Mr.. Prentiss this con-
test must prove fortunate event in his
political life. 1t has brought his unrivalled
talents to the notice Of the public, and
given him name and an influence which
will secure to him an ascendency in his
own State, and pave the way for higher
elevations, if his ambition should ever as
pire to Offices and dignitarics of a nation
al character. Mississippi certainly has
reason to be proud Of her talented repre-
sentative and now when the appeal is made
to the ballot box, will evince her PARTIAL
ty for one who has done so much to honor
her, by electing him again to seat in the
national councils, when his extraordinary
powers will have full scope for exercise, ank
wide field for display.-N O. Com. Bul.

YOUTH AND AGE.

YOUTH AND AGE.
When we are young, our days are like
The fountain waves that How in June,
That sparkle in tho golden sun.
Or CLEAN beneath the silver moon.
When we are old, our moments glide
Like Winter waters cold and drear,
That freeze before December's voice
Has sighed the death-no Of the year.
When we are young the clouds around
Our path have hues Of glory on,
Like those which sleep on Summer skies
Before the crimson hush is gone.
When we are old, 10 ray concealed
Within the folded vapor lies,
But gloomy shadows overspread
The circle Of Lies evening skies.
Oh then, since with the hours that fade
Our beings light is fading too.
How shall we 6nd hope 10 cheer
When we TO youth must bid adeu
In heaven and not on earth there gows
A sun whose pure and perfect ray
Will warm the freezing waves Of life
Aud change its twilight into day.
