FIFE ELECTIONS.

The elections in Copiah, Yazoo and
Monroe will take place on the first and SCI
cond of January, t. fill vacancies occasion
ed by the resignation ofDemocvats in those
counties. We believe that the same gentle
men that resigned are candidates for a re-
election. DEMOCRATS TO ARMS
TO ARMS! fock to The polls IN one solid
pholanr and cast your Uotes on the side Of
equal rights and privileges! You have a
willy foe TO contend against, ard nothing
will be left undone by the federal wings 10
carry their point. 1t remains now for you
to say whether you will permit federal
wing senator 10 be sadded upon you for the
next six years or not The parties are so
nearly divided in The legislature, that upon
you devolve the important question, whe-
Their Mississippi is to be mlsrepresented for
the next SIX years or not. Democrats, we
again urge you TO the polls! 10 the polls!
and do your duty as becomes freemen, in
defending those great principles of dcmoc%
racy which we all love 10 honor and pre-
serve.

that the z1mptions which have already
taken place, have been effected, not by the
aid, but in spite OF Mr.. Biddle's instilu.
ton. 1t is well known that the Banks Of
New York were threatened with Mr.. Bid
dies displeasure for attempting TO resume
in May last, and it may be well questioned
whether the "Regulator" would now be a
specie paying bank, but for Governor Rit-
ner's proclamation A close observation
of The events Of the last year has strengthen
ed our conviction tina; there is no necessi:
ty for violation of the constitution by the
charter ola National Bank, and that the
people of therespeciiye States best under
stand their own affairs, and are fully cons
petent 10 the management of them, and we
sincerely hope that The people ofihis State
will be ever ready to resist any foreign in
reference with her domestic Institutions.

We prepared more editorial this week
than we can put in our paper, owing to the
great length of the Presidents message, a
part of which we publish to-day. 1t is a

State papers which emanate from that high
source We shall speak more in detail OF

BY referring 10 our columns our readers
will perceive that the Banks of the city Of
Natchez, and the Commercial and Raj!
Road Bank of Vicksburg, have determined
TO resume specie payments on the first Of
January next. We congratulate our citi-
zens on this important event-an event
which affects the interests of every man in
this community. The comparative ease
with which this very desirable arrangement
will have been effected, forms strong cox
trast TO the disastrous scenes of 1919, and
must, we think, forever put TO rest the al
legged necessity of a great regulator The
majority of the State Banks TO resume spe-
Gle payments without The aid Of National
Bank, formed one of the strongest argu-
mcnis in favor OF such aninstitution; but il
we examine the proceedings of the Banks

Mr. May after several further remarks in opposition
TO the amendment, offered The following as an amend.
men, 10 The amendment:
Sind lie it further enacted, That the acceptance by
any Justice Of the Peace Of the appointment oil Commits
sioner Of The Revenue in either OF The counties OF
shall vacatc the commission of The Magistrate accepting
the said appointment in either of the said Counties
Mr. C0uTEs called for the ayes and noes Oh this
amendment.
Mr. HAyMoSD hoped this last amendment would not
be adopted he knew that Justices OF the Peace were in
the habit of keeping the Office among themselves IN TO-.
ation they made the bargain between themselves to
elect another; not expressly but facility as an un.
dcrslood thing He hoped the amendment OF Mr. HAIR.
RisoS would be adopted.
Mr. DAVIS said be was sorry 10 hear from some gen.
cmen that there was much corruption in their coun-
ties among The Magistrates. If it so, they ought
TO have law for their own Counties Ii they wish 1t;
but GU gh TO be made general law, since The cor
rupon was moi general but ouy confined to their par
lcular counties.
Mr. CoorEs denied that the charge Of keeping the Of.
fee in rotation at all applied 10 the Justices of The Peace
in Rockingham. The Commissioners in that county
were worthy and excellent men, and good and faithful
officers and no such collision had been referred To-,
was ever practised in tie appointment OF them, in Rock
inuIlan at leasl-Mr. c. said, that the amendment oil
the gentleman from Harrison was adopted 1t would have
tendency TO exclude good and efficient men from oice;
but if corruption existed in any Of the counties, they
could avail themselves Of the amendment offered by hr
NAV which was applicable to those counties where the
evil existed He deemed The charge OF keeping the Oh
flee u rotation to be most ground.eSs
MIR. MALLORY wished The question 10 be taken at once
on The original amendment, as he had no doubt both
cond amendment, would greatly assist 10 economist the
time of the House. aud therefore begged 10 suggest 10
its mover 10 withdraw IT..

this amendment the question was taken oy ayes ana
Noes, and decided in the negave-Ayes %, noes ~.
The question recurring on The amendment OF DIR. H95'
