HON. N. P. TALLMADGE.

This gentleman is now filling a large
space in the public eye. He has been the
warm supporter Of General Jackson, and,
being an advocate of the doctrines which
raised this great warrior to the Presidential
Chair, he was not only elected to honorable
posts in the Legislature Of the State OfNew-
York, but afterwards elected Son.ee.tor af
the United States from the Empire State. y
His family have L5een of those who al.
ways stood foremost in the advocacy of old
fashioned Republicanism, including in every
particular, the doctrine of STATE RIGHTS;
and his uncle, the Hon. JAMES TALLMADGE,
was elected Lieutenant Governor of the
State Of New York in consequence of his
unwavering devotion to the cause of the
people. His brother, the Hon. D. B.
TALLMADGE is now Judge ofthe Superior
Court in the City of New York, who, also,
has been an unwavering supporter of &C.
neral Jackson, while he continued to carry
out the principles which raised him to the
head of the nation. The Hon. N. P.
TALLMADGE has also been the supporter of
Mr.. Van Buren,, and would have continued
his support of that individual, if he had
been less reckless of the interest of the
country as to propose measures, the ten
dency of which, are to reduce our once
prosperous country to the situation of the
servile subjects Of European despots.-
He is opposed to the Sub-treasury scheme,
because he believes its enactment will be a
fatal stab to the liberties of the country:
and thus believing, he has like Marcus Cur
thus. thrown himself into the breach, at the
risk of executive displeasure, and with his

of the people, which, if right is to be tri-
umphant, will be victorious. We COPY
from the Cincinnati Express, an article
which shows the feeling in the more North
ern States of the Great Valley of the Mis-
sissippi.
1t appears by letters from some of the
most influential Wings in New York, that
Senator Falimedge is favorably spoken of
in this State, as a candidate for the Vice.
Presidency, and serious thoughts are enter
tanned of placing his name on the Wing
ticket, for that office.-As far as public
sentiment has been developed, in Ohio, on
that subject, there is reason to believe he
would be altogether acceptable to the
Wings in this State. The decided stand
ne has taken against the ruinous policy of
the administration, and the salutary effects
OF his personal exertion and influence. at
the late elections, entitle him TO the grati.
tude of the country and it is believed. that
the entire Wing party, indulge the ki,dest
feelings towards him. His name has been
frequently mentioned here, in connection
with that Office, and probably much more
would be said on the subject, both in con-
yersation, and in the public prints, but for
the fact that Ohio offers q candidate for
the Presidency, and is therefore bound in
courtesy and justice, to leave the nomina.
ton Of the second officer, to our friends in
other States. Should Mr.. Tallmadoe he
their choice,he will unquestionably carr the
entire Wing vote of Ohio.

S. S. PRENTIss.

This distinguished and eloquent orator
will address the people of Lowndes county
in this city, on Saturday next. The plac e
where he will speak has not as yet been de.
signated, but we trust our friends will select
one suitable. We would suggest the
Academy Square, as being sufficiently
large to accommodate the concourse of
people who will be present. Some ar
engagements also should be made for the la
dies, and while we inform them that their
presence will give life and animation to
the scene, we can also assure them there
will be no improperly for them to be pre-
sent. AS many Of them have carriages
we would advise them 10 come in them.

A wholesome LIP is thing TO be loved.
People are too much in the habit of regar-
ding lips as mere appendages to the human
face divine'-ornaments like ear rings to
set off its beauty. This is TO detract from
their true use and excellence. They serve
other purposes, and are induces of charac-
ter.
A wholesome lip is of the complexion of
a morello cherry. It pouts like rose bud,
and might lead bee astray, as the grapes
of Xeuis did the birds. When kissing was
in fashion. gallants of taste showed prefer
ence for lips Of this kind. There was
favor about thenl-ambrosia, on which
young love fed and grew fat.
The disciples of Socrates was feminine
in the matter Of lips, for bees lowered over
them and the judgement Of bee in that
particular is scarcely inferior to that of a
bachelor under thirty.
In general, people are TO think their no.
ses of more importance than their lips, and
many saucy noses seem to be of the same
way of thinking; since we see them turn
ing up with high disdain, as if the lips were
so inferior as to merit scorn.
No 'genteel, well-behaved nose is guilty
ofsuch dastardly efrontery. Such an one,
it is true, may at times flap its nostrils and
crow Justify over its neighbors, as if it were
cock of the walk but there is soft insin-
uation about an eloquent lip, that cuts the
comb of the braggart, and inevitably tames
the monarch down to the mere republican.
Our maiden aunt Sally wore lip, which
like her matrimonial chances was rather
shriveIIed. 1t was a mere streak along
the horizon; an indistinct margin along an
ocean of mouths, a strip to tell you where
her teeth were. Ny aunt died husbandless.
If she had welded, her bridal kiss would
have been interesting.
She saluted my cheek once, when like
Fanny / was younger than | am now,
and prettier ofcourser Thought the sen.
sation like bird. Instead Of soft spongy
flesh, her lips seemed like scraps of flesh
ron.bound.
Sometimes she puckered them up like
the orifice Of her reticule; and this was and
indelible precept Of coming Storm
Xantippe had thin, blush, unwaving lip.
Beware Of such.
The lips of ones sweetheart are vol
ume of poetry. Smiles fling ray like the
flash of morning upon them, and they are
glorious in their brightness. They are an
oracle, and from them comes the voice oil
destiny. They are a shrine, and around
them the breath Transportation ever fingers.
1t would be vain to talk of kissing any thing
so sacred, when the mere thought over
whelms one in unspeakable bliss.

" The Pontotoc Intelligencer makes
a grand hurra on account of an omission
from our editorial head during our alb
sence, ofthe names of Prentiss & Word as
candidates for congress, and with great sim.
picity asks If those gentlemen areno long
er candidates. We answer THEY ARE
the Wing candidates for Congress $, and the
omission in few of our papers of their
names was entirely an error Of our Prin-
ters. The Intelligencer talks about the

debased is that Journal, that Van Buren,

0T Gen. Davis, the Loco Foco candi-

judge from the papers, win any applause in

seems uses him up on every occasion.
The valorous General viii be taken quite
aback, we think, when he hears the fate of
his hobby, the sub-Treosury. Mr.. Clai
borne has rcturne d, and is quite silent on
the subject of the election. Is it possible
he will refuse to run again As his silence
to be construed into refusal to enter again

Gates of deposit of the Mississippi Banks
