WAR! wAR!! wAR!l!

"A great storm in the teakettle; the Vicksburg
Register of the 18th inst. is for war, as he can
expect little from the decision of the majority

The editor of the Register, it is said, does not
love the smell of powder very well, though he
talks SO big-psheao, it is all in my eye. We'll,
but hear hm-"shall we not, in the name OF
God and Liberty, shoulder our bayonets?" The
warlike editor concludes an article in the above
words; now, this is unkind, in as much as the ed
itor leaves us in the dark, respecting the motive
of the act-wonder if he is not bound Tor Cana

our country readers have never seen the charter,
we could not present any thing more satisfacto

charter, are not possessed of copy of it, and
the memory not being sufficiently retentivo,
many of the provisions, important features and
bearings to be comprehended and fully under

It seems that the Democracy are nc

1t seems that the Democracy are not
disposed to rally upon the same candidates
for congress.-Liberty Advocate.
No such thing, seems to be the case, on the
contrary, the democracy are more united, ii
possible, than they ever were, and that too on the
perg same candidates. The democracy could get
no better-they support no other. Why does
the Advocate gravely make that statement? 1t
cannot be on the ground that the Southern Star
mentioned these gentlemen as its choice About
two weeks since, we were informed of, and in
the last Planter mentioned the TACT, that the
Star does not hold forth these gentlemen as the
democratic candidates, and for several reasons
only one of which we have time to mention, anc
that is simply this, that these democrats, Brown
-4agd Burton, are not candidates

The Anti-masonic party, in Pennsylvania,
have determined to support the hero OF the
Thames for the next Presidency, mauger the
decision of National Convention. This is ra-
Their hard case for Clay and his friends. How
provoking it is that the anti-masons will not
unite with the abolitionsts in support Of the
,nagnus Apollo of the bank party2 But in vain
will Clay's friends labor to unite the self-styied
wings in making president This party COM
posed Of materials so widely dissimilar, are held
together by too weak affinity to act in con
cert longer than happens to suit the convent
orce of the several different subdivisions.

OfBarton We know nothing. Gen
Brown, we are personally acquainted with
and look upon him as man Of sound
mind, respectable talents, and as being
endowed with moro manlincss and indie
pendence than is usual for tho party. lie
is bold, honest, apright polidcian.-N-
berty Adpocate,
Teie culogy from the Advocate created many
enquiries concerning Gen. Brown, and conjec-
lures that might have ended in conclusions pre-.
judicial to his character and interest," as the Ad-
vocate 10 known to backen the characters of the
coed, and yarni5h the bad--the enquiry was,
what has Gen, Brown been doing, that the Adyo-
cate should praise him in this manner.
On examining the Advocate little further,
the whole became plain to us. After speaking
of Copiah in complimentary torms--a little blair
ny; and the people Of that county running to the
rescue Of the people-nonsense; the Advocate
let's the cat out Of the bag. We viii use the
language of the editor: "Backed by this venera.
bic and intelligent county, the wings may con-
fdently invite their couutry's foes to the con
test" The wings cannot and will not be "bacS
ed" (the wings would like to back Copah as We
do horse,) by that county. What then? The
editor admission is plain--they Uhe whigs) can
not confidently invite to the contest Take the
following in connection with the above, and th(
disponding state of the editors mind can be
seen, as well as the reason why it praised Gen.
Brown.
"If Claiborne and Gholson should be the de-
mocratic candidate (how doubtful!-tho writ
or knew they were and are,) "we feelquite Ger
tain that Gen Brown will not sanction their di-
abolical pretensions." Now, the contrary is the
fact, and was the fact when the above was writ
ten, if the editor, like responding men and
drowning men, catch at straws, and is aliured
by dclusiyc hope, and this gives him pleasure
he may bug it, but he shall not impose on the
unsuspoctng by such false statements dignified
BY the name of news.
The Southern Star of the 10th inst, contains
the letter Of Gen. Brown, to the editor, showing
how utterly, TO say the least of it, the Advocate
misunderstood the whole matter--nonc are sc
blind as those that will not see. We purpose
LAYING Gen. Browns letter before our readers AZ
soon as we can conveniently.

THE NoxuDEE TIMES AND MISSISSIPPI
GENERAL ADVERTISER

Is the name of a new paper that has lately
commenced its career, in the town of Macon,
under the direction of L. B. Emmerson, Esq.
From the appearance of the paper, the talent
and taste displayed in the specimen before US,
we doubt not but it will attract that attention
which il so richly merits, and which we heartily
wish it. 1t is of the true democratic stamp-an
advocate Of popular rights and interests, and
must be supported by the people.

to France. Alter paying visit to his aged
mother, he set of for Arenemberg, 10 present
to the ex-Queen Of Holland the necklace,
which in her eyes was now doubly consecra'ed
by recollections of happiness and misfortune.
Hortense, indeed, regarded il as an oojec'
almost sacred; and she suffered more PAIN
full struggle with her feelings when IN mo-
ment OF distress, mperious circumstances
compelled her to part with il. The King OF
Bavaria offered to purchase it by the payment
of a life annuity of $4,000 francs, settled on
Hortense. The agreement was ratified, and
two years afterwards Hortense ceased TO live.
The King Of Bavaria has consequently paid
only $4,000 francs for an object worth $780,
O00. Kings, it must be confessed, sometime
make fortunate bargains. This circumstance
serves to explain why the magnificent neck
lace, the adventures Of which are above re-
lated, was mentioned in the will Of the ex-
Queen of Holland.

SOMETHING WRONG.

Nearly every person with whom we have conversed
is ready to acknowledge that there something wrong
in the administration fthe General Government We
charge the decline Of business, the pros,ation Of conf
dence, and the depreciation OF property TO the tcddre
Of the loco ocos upon the currency and their obstinate
persistence in the adoption Of the SUBJ Treasury Bill
which contempates the overthrow and destruction OF
the State Banks. Until these radicals commenced this
warfare upon our State Institutions of credit, the peo
Pile satisfied with the currency and the country
prospecting to degree and extent unequaed by
any other nation Of the earth IN time Of general
prosperity, the country at peace with all the world and
with currency perfectly SAFE convenient and sasfac-
tory to the people, these agarians more appropriately
called loco focoe have sounded the ocsin Of alarm ap
pealed TO the preudces and endeavored to impair their
confidence in those institutions Of credit OF their own
creating Our national rulers, by their anti-repnbcan
experiments and expedients, aud their tnkerng with
the currency have bankrupied the Treasury Frustrated
commerce and trade, and now the hardy and honest
yeomaury of the country begin to feel the effects of
these runous by the decline Of price on the
fruits Of their toll and labor crisis has arrived in
the history of this Government which imperousy calls
on every to read and examine for himself and
make up his mind Understandings. We say that the
country has been unnecessarily plunged from this high
Of prosperity into the depths OF adversely by the
anti republican policy Of Mr.. Van Buren,, who under
mistaken estimate Of hs talents and patriotism, we aided
to the station he now holds Never was man elected
to this elevated and responsible station with better
opportunity to render himself popular and eminenty
useful to the country. restoration OF confidence and
revival Of business hung upon his mere breath, but
he chose not to walk in the footsteps Ola jefferson,
Madison, and Munroe, to profit BY the lights cast
by these distinguished and eminent patriots Of the
voution around the ancient landmarks Of democracy
but to walk in the footsteps Of the elder Adams by
commencing revival Of ancient federalism in the adop
ton of the SubTreasury bill AMI union OF the purse
and scord Here is the and the only true cause
OF all the existing difficulty and embarrassment In the
country.
