TTP VaN RTRENITEs. These peculiar |
and sserchtstSe Democrats" think that
the words aNational Bank are the most
eiilpbonious in til world, with (which 70

prick up their ears and cry "Bank, Bank,
National Bank?--Look out for the FEEDER

Bank on the wings of the South wind
Heaven preserve us from party which
relies upon such catch words to gul the
people. We tell the Democrat once Tor ALL
that we are satisfied that National BANK
of any kind cannot possibly be chartered
under the existing state ofaffairs OF the Ma
ton. The question: we thought was settled
at the extra session of Congress, and we
can see no use of talking about It ad IN
f,itum. We would, of course, prefer
National Bank to the odious Sub Trcasu-
ry system, but we feel sure that neither plan
will be adopted. When the people are
worn down and their prospects OF relief
from theGoyernment which was established
for their common welfare, are gone,-when
they are brought down low in the dust Of adj
versity by wickedmen in power, the scales
which so darkened their mental vision when
they raised to office such men as Jackson,
Kendall, Blair and Van Buren,, they will
rise in their might an Ike mighty ava

fusion into the ranks Of the train-bands of
the office holders. While our exclusive
Democratic neighbors are "beating the air, y
would it not be we'll for them to look Il lit
tie at their crcIuare Democratic Repre-
sentatives in the Legislature. They, ac-
cording to the Democrats own admission,
are in a majority; but Notwithstanding they
have passed a Bill, Incorporating huge
monster of Bank whose capital is to be
Fifteen millions, fUc hundred thousand
dollars. We have, in all conscience,
Banks enough in this State, but as TIC in
corporation of this Bank is a "Democratic
measure" its all right. "Consis6ncy-

YAzoo BANNER.-We have received
the second number of this paper, published
in Benton, Yazoo county, by MesBrs. r.
II. & S. l.. CoRwINE. It is an advo-
cate Of the correct Wing principles, and
from the number before us, we Judge it will
lend efficient aid in the cause of our CON-
mon country. Success attend it.
The PEARL RIVER BANNER, is anoth-
or new Taper, the 10th number Of which
we have received. 1t is also Wing. Why.
Mississippi will be Wing to the back bone
ifthe "Ball'' moves thus.
We arc happy to observe that tho press,
throu. bout the Union generally, speak in
deserved terms of censurc of the disgrace
full affair, which lately took place between
Mr.. Wise Of Virginia, and Mr.. Gholson
OF this State. The latter gentleman, it APP
pears, is very cxcituble,- and on several oc.
casions has by his imprudcnt impctuosty,
connected himselfwit several broils, which.
in our humble opinion, is unworthy the rep
rcsentativc Of the high-minded and chival-
rous state which sent him there. His first
affair with Mr.. WiSe,--hs alteration with
Col. Webb, and the late disgracefuI scene
which was enacted by hun and Mr.. Wise.
mark HIM more as an ill-tempcrcd, than a
hlgh-mlndcd & cool-hcadcd representative.
OF Mr.. Wise, we must say, that his with
erIng sarcasm, if not kept within proper
bounds, will always inAame the blood of
the Hotspurs Of the House, and if his zeal
oYersteps the bounds of prudence, he viii
instead of gaining his ends, make wider
the breach which now exists between the
two political parties, one of which he dc.
sires to triumph.
The Federalists and Abolitiolisss have
gained temporary success at the North,
and this is the onl y victory the wings can
boast Of One such triumph alone, it seems
TO us, ought to be quite as much as any
true hearted Southerner and republican
should willingly swallow. But be assured,
trend Argus, the ball is not ''restinr." as
you would have us believe: it is MOVING on
steadllybut in an opposite direction from the
one you would wish, and with a velocity
which will speedily crush the forces of fed.

We have reason to thank Heaven that
we have never as yet acted with ssFederal.
lists and Abolitionists," and that we have
never rcIolced IN any Of their. victories
however guilty the Democrat may be
on that score. The "Bal!'' is resting, and
when 1t again commences its ssm6tion .
