CARROLLToN enquirer.

BELIEVING that the wealth and population
of Carroll, and the increased and growing impor-
lance of Carrollton, imperiously demand news
paper as an acceptable vehicle of information,
the undersigned proposes to the good people OF
Carroll county to publish one under the above
title, which shall meet theiriwants Being OPP
posed to the principles upon which the present
Chief Magistrate came into power, and believing
that his motto, "To the UictOrS belong the SpoilS
Of the Dangitfshed," is demoraliZing and revolu-
tionary-and that an elevation to that high sta
ton neither consecrates nor purifies principles,
the Intelligencer will firmly oppose the present
Administration so long as it receives its impress
sion from the stamp of Modern Democracy,
while at the same time il will exert its influence
in prostrating the corrupt system of politics now
preying upon the vitals of our young Republc.
The political principles Of the lntelgencer shall
be strictly those of JEFFERSON, as set forth in the
Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of % d. Wy,
and Madison's celebrated Report These shall
be the basis of our political creed Believing
that the principle set forth by that apostle OF Lib
erty, Thomas Jefferson, viz:-"THAT ALL pow
Frs NOT EXPRESSLY DELEGATED TO THE GENERAL
GOVERNMENT BY THE CONSTITUTION, ARE RESERVED
TO THE STATES RESPECTIVELY, OR TO THE PEOPLE,
is the true one on which our Government is
founded, and an adage universally received--and
believing that the rights, REMEDIES, and Liberties
of the States, without the means OF preserving
them, are mere phantoms, the IntelligencerIw will
always be found on the side of enlightened Re-
publicanism, battling against the encroachment-
Of Power, and the fearless and incorporating
opposer of every infringement on the Liberties
Of the States. The rights, REMEDIES, and
Union Of the States shall be our beacon light to
guide us in the dark hour Of political tempest
Every effort to bring into dsrcpute the hallowed
principles of Jefferson--every attempt at dlsso-
luton Of the Union, will be firmly resisted
Having thus explicitly stated the political prin-
cplcs which will guide and control the Intelligent
Ger, the undersigned will further assure its pat.
rons that its columns will not be entirely devoted
to politics, but every effort will be made to rem
der il useful and interesting family newspaper.
TERMs.-The ENQUIRER will be publish
ed on SUPERFICIAL sheet, on new materials, and
furnished to subscribers at FIVE DOLLARS in
advance, or SIX at the expiration OF the year.
The first number may be expected on the first OF

Mr.. PRENTIss' RESOLUTIONS, which he
offered in the House of Representatives,
on the 10th instant.
1. ReSolUed, That the power of desig-
mating the time, place, and manner of cleo
tons for representatives is expressly CIV
en- by the federal constitution to the legis-
lature of the States respectively, subject to
no supervision or control, except by law of
Congress only, and that, in the exercise of
this power, the state legislatures may con-
stitutionally fix the time of election sub
sequent to the expiration of the congress-
preceding that for which such election is
to be holden.
2. RESOLVED, That neither the federal
anticipate, supercede or change the times
of election as fixed by the state legisla-
lures.
3. RESOLVED, That this house has not
the constitutional power, either legislative
or judicial, by its own action alone, 10 an
null, suspend or impede, the operation Of an
act ola state legislature fixing the time,
place and manner of election for repre-
sentatives.
4. Resolved, That no resolution or ac-
ton Of this House can deprive the people
of any state of their constitutional right of
electing representatives to congress at the
time designated for the purpose by the le-
gislature of such state, that the claim o.
such power, on this House, would be 6
dangerous enroachment upon the rights
of the states, and its exercise direct and
palpable violation of the constitution.
5. Resolved, That the constitution
al jurisdiction of this House over the sub
iect of representation is a limited one, en-
bracing the questions Of election, qualif-
cation, and return, only; and that, in judg.
ing of election, this House is bound to
Judge in accordance with the act of the
state legislature regulating the time, place
and manner thereof
6. RESOLVED, That, in accordance with
the constitutional act O.! the legislature of
the State of Mississippi prescribing the
time, place and manner Of election for re-
representatives. to congress. and in compll-
ance with all the provisions of said act, an
election was holden in November last, for
two representatives from said state to the
25th congress, al which election S. S. Prem
tiss and Thomas ]. Word, were duly elect
ed, possessed the constitutional qualifca-
ton, and were duly and legally lreturned.
7. ReSolDed, That the resolution of this
House, adopted on the 9Th day of Februa-
ry last, denying to said Prentiss and Word
seats in this House as members thereof,
was dangerous attack upon the elective
franchise, in derogation ofthe rights OF the
State of Mississippi, in violation of the con-
stitution of the United States, and mis-
chievous example to future times.
8. Resolved, therefore, That sud resolu-
ton be, and the same is hereby, resclnded'

places, which have been the scenes OF an
Client renown; and my only pleasure (if
to me it may be called pleasure) consists
in gratifying that curiosity In a few
weeks, shall leave the United States, for
London, and from thence to Gibraltar,
thence to Jerusalem, to contemplate those
scenes consecrated to christian sympa-
thies; and should my voyage thither, not
prove salutary to my health, and have
but a faint hope that it will, shall never
return. Here the roads intersecting, and
our journeys laying in different direc-
tons, we Of necessity bid each other adieu.
Though our acquaintance was but partial,
and consisted of a few hours conversation ;
yet it made an impression upon my mind,
which will rarely be obliterated by time !:
and wherever he may 60, III il be to the
ends ofthe earth, there are my best wishes.
Virtue, knowledge and unaffected dignity,
always command the highest respect, but
when unfortunately, those qualifications
are united, from Just causes, with dark
ness, gloom, and melancholy; existance is
rendered Reamless, desolated waste. But
what can be more subduing, more soul-ab-
sorbng, than an irrevocable votary of des-
pondency. Our very nature, swells with
compassion at its sight;-we would, if ii
were possible, participate in their vicissi-
tudes, but in vain, words of consolation to
them, are but unmeaning sounds; the
stony portals of our bosom are unbared,
and our sympathies flow from the deepest
channels of the heart, but they flow in
vain. o. u. u.
