THE ELECTION.

The enquiry is made; how did the cleo
ton go,-who is elected,--are you sat-
isfed about the result of the election, &c.
To these enquiries we reply, that we are
satisfied that the opposition has succeed
ed in electing to Congress Prentss and
Word, by slim majority over the demo-
Gratis: though certain that it is so, it would
be dishonest to say that it gives dissatis.
faction. No, though satisfied it must be
so, we are by no means satisfied that it is
so, but holding as we do, that to repine is
unmanly, weak and absurd, we grieve not.
sorrow cannot mend the matter, nor in
any way change the nature ofthings past !:
besides, our determination is not to repine.
fret, or tume, for what can, or cannot be
helped. fit cannot be helped, what is the
use ofrepining2 1t can do no good. And
if it can be helped, the better way is to
set to it, not to set down to grieve about
it. That the democracy of Mississippi is
strong; that those who support the present
administration have the numerical and
moral strength in the state, is not, we be-
iieve, denied by any, and that the recent
election is not test of party strength. Il
is believed, also,will not be disputed there
fore, there is nothing to fear or grieve for.
And the time is not far distant when we
viii meet again at the ballot-box-renew
the contest; not on our part for men or
place, or aristocracy or banks, but for our
popular institutions and general democrat
&C principles.

whence she sailed on the 4th inst. She
has performed the voyage without any
accident, save slight one which befell
her on coming in the Hook, where she
grounded, but will no doubt get off al
high water. Since her departure from
Cork, she has used only fresh water in
her boilers, having on board Mr.. Halls

BEAUTIFUL FINANCIERING.

The Banks bought the Planters cotton,
Well. The Banks paid IL and l3 cents a
pound for it and advanced literally. Yes.
In fact, the banks paid the planters more
than New Orleans would pay them. All
true. But how does the things operate in
the end? Just about thus-the planter
received four cents per pound for his cot
ton, taxing into consideration the depreci-
ated character of the currency. Instead
of getting out of debt as was supposed the
planters are more deeply involved and the
currency of Mississippi disgraced at home
and abroad. Shame on such fnanciering.

The Wings, through the Nationa

The Wings, through the National
lntelligencer, propose that at the next
general election, each voter in the Uni
ted States shall put on his ticket ''For
a National Bank" or against Ma
tional Bank" and that the majority
shall decide the action of congress!
This, we suppose, is to be the rule of
Wing construction hereafter. tits car
rying out the consolidation doctrine of
Clay. Webster and the Federalists.
The next move will be of course, that
each voter in the Union shall say,
whether for or against the emancipa-
ton of the slaves in the United States!
And with such doctrines, openly advo-
Gated by the Wings, the people of Mis-
sissippi are asked to elevate them to
power. We predict that before two
years there will be very few in this
State who will be disposed to look back
at their connexion with party whose
leaders openly tolerate and encourage
such dangerous Misunderstanding

MORE NoroR1ErY.

This is truly an age of improvement
and discovery, both in matter and mind
These include all that man knows or can
have any idea of. We are unable to de.

Every day brings something new to call
forth our wonder and surprise. No later

called to a very extraordinary discovery,
not in the physical but in the moral world

CONGRESSIONAL.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Saturday, April 81.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
THE LATE DUEL.

This important report was brought in
to the House late in the evening. A
question arose on the proposition to print
it, and the House adjourned without de.
Gliding. In relation to Mr.. Graves, the
recommendation is in the following words
"The committee, therefore, viewing
the breach of the rights and privileges
of the House, on the part of Mr.. Graves,
to have been an offence of this high
character, against the vital principles Of
deliberative assembly and of represen
tative Government, feel constrained, by
a sense of duty, to present to the House
a resolution that he be expelled there
FROM"
With regard to the seconds, the COM
mittee declare they deserve the censure
of the House.
In conclusion, the report says:
"The committee entertain no doubt
that James Watson Webb has been gull
ty of breach of the privileges of the
House, but they also concur unanimous
ly in the opinion, that if there be any
real ground to believe that conspira-
cy to assassinate actually existed as set
forth in that atrocious paper drawn up
by him, signed by Daniel jackson, and
William H. Morell, sworn to by the lat
ter, and pub ished in the N. Y. Courier
and Inquirer, he be left to the chastise-
ment of the courts of law and of public
opinion, and that the House will consult
its own dignity and the public interests

THE GREAT REGULATOR.

Biddle, in his late efforts to enrich the
stockholders and himself, has carried the
thing so far, that even the bank loving
wings cannot bear it longer with patience.
His letter to his old friend, ]. @. Adams,
on the resumption of specie payment, in
connection with his other efforts to throw
obstacles in the way of that measure so
much desired by all, has chilled many of
his supporters, and is materially efecting
the wing cause.
The Louisville Gazette, wing print,
speaks on that subject in language not to
be misunderstood. 1t says: "Mr. Biddle's
letter is looked upon as exceedingly pre-.
sumptuous and arrogant. AS the editor Of
wing press, we have no notion that the
wing party should be directed by Mr.. Bid
dies assumptions, for the purpose Of ag
grandizing every thing to his U. S. Bank
The wings have no idea ofconnecting thei
politics with the prosperity Of the Unite
States Bank of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Blddl
has rather outgrown himself. The wing
have lost more by the bank than all tn
good it can do for the country. But for i
Gen. Jackson could never been reelected
and his successor now be following in tn
footsteps of his predecessor.

The Banks of New York and Boston
have resumed specie payment, in spite Of
Biddle and his hirelings, who wish to force
on the people an institution that they
shudder at, and that has used all its efforts
to keep up the present Embarrassment as
means to forward their selfish designs.
When will the Banks of Mississippi follow
the example? How long will the people
submit TO the present swindling systom
that is practiced on them by the bank ar
istocracy?

MOST INFAMOUS DEPRAvITY.

By our express slips, we learn that the
residence of Sisters Of Charity in Phila-

thieves, on the night of the Goth ult., and
robbed of every thing the sacrilegious viii

Wrctches that could deprive those angels
of mercy of their property, are unworthy

possessed of worldly wealth or at all &C.

The amount of specie which has arrived

NEW BANKING LAW.

A law has been passed by the Legisla-
ture of New York. changing materially
the systom formerly pursued. The Bal.
timore American speaks of its provisions
thus:
"Any number of persons, foreigners
or natives, residents or otherwise, can
establish bank with capital not un.
der$lOO,O00 but to any extent beyond,
by putting in trust, underline s. Comp
troller, United States or State Stocks.
10 half the amount--the other half in
good mortgages on real estate, The
association is then authorised to issue
an equal amount in paper money, re:
tanning always as basis, IL l-2 per
cent in specie Of its issues. The paper
is signed by the Comptroller, and the
original capital-half stocks, half good
mortgages-remains always in trust as
fund to redeem the issues in case of
revulsion, accident or mismanage-
ment,"
The following, in reference to the same,
is from the Picayune:
"Under the new law passed by the
New York Legislature, allowing free
banking, it is said that new bank is to
start in New York city with a capital
Of twenty millions, at the head ofwhich
stands prominent house in Wall
street. Mr.. Biddle, too, is to start one,
which is to commence operations in a
bout fortnight"

sHAD AT PLAQUEMTNE.

There is no mistake but that they do
have fresh shad at Plaquemine, caught
out Of the Bayou, much as we have
doubted the brags of the editor of the
Ambassador. They are not so large
or finely favored, perhaps, as the ''frst
run" ofthe Susquehanna, but can be
set down as No. l, Hickory, and good
enough for any body to eat.---PicGya'se.
