No one will venture up, save at the ex-
pense ola most offensive irrigation. We
have said that Tothll was not entitled TO
vote last November Judge Smith told
US this fact in the town of Liberty few
weeks since
As to Hall, we stated in our first re-
marks that he had been suspicloned Of be-
ing tinctured with Aboitionism, by gen.
tleman with whom be resided last year.
That gentleman's name we have given,
and the manner in which we got hold OF
it. If Hall says he was raised in N. Caro-
lima, we have no objection, and take his
assertion as true. We had heard il stated
that he was born in Pennsylvania. We
have stated that he was not entitled 10 a
vote last Noverber. Now we shall state
the grounds upon which we based this as
sertion. P&dingthe last November can
vass we visited East Fork Church. In a
conversation with DR.. Hall and William
Gardner, some one observed 1--WE think
Gardner himself chat if Hall were entitled
to a vote in November, the author Of this
article would get one more vote for the
Legislature. DR., Hall was present when
the observation was made, and made not
the slightest objection to what had been
said. Every rational man would have in
lerred that he vas not entitled TO vote.
That he did vote we will not attempt to
deny, for men frequently vote when they
have no right to do it. At convenient
time we shall see Mr. Gardner and procure
confirmation Of this statement.
As for the personal illusions ofthe Stub
berdegullion we shall not notice them We
have made this statement for the salts
faction Of the honest portion ofthe "De-
mocracy." They wished to know more
about it, and we have given it to them.
The people should know who the conduc-
ors Of public Journals are. The County
demands scrutiny into their characters. G.

/ The ordinary certificate Of elcctiony o.
credentials, were forwarded to my col
league, but never received by him. Those
sent 10 me were received; but, perceivine
that they contained tho limitation Of the
term of service mentioned in the Cover
nor's writ to hold the election, we applied
for, and obtained, the statement from the
Secretary Of State TO be used in their stead
All this was distinctly stated by US to the
Committee Of Elections in September last
Now the only matter which appeared in
the credentials, besides the election of my
colleague and myself, was, that we were
elected for the special session only. This
is all that is pretended. Had this appear
ed in the credentials only--had We, by
not presenting the credentials, withheld
the only evidence Of this matter, there
would be some ground for the suggestion
now made, that the credentials, not having
been before the committee or the House,
all the facts were not presented; and that
the case, at this time, should be re-opened
to let in new fact. But is this so3-
Why, what was the question tf0t SO long
occupied the attention of the House in Sep
fmber2 Did it not grow out of the very
Tact, now pretended to be new one--rhat
the Governors writ was for an election
for the special session only? Was not the
only question before the House. the ques-
tion whether we were elected for the spe-
cial session, or for the whole term OF the
Congress? And is it not strange that 1t
should be contended now, that the House
was without evidence of the fact, the exis-
tence of which-lhe uncontroverted truth
of which-was the sole cause ofall the pro-
trlcted and excited debate to which the
Mississippi election of July gave rise?-
The fact that We received majority of
the votes then cast, was undeniable, The
fact that those votes we're given at an cleo
tion held under writ ordering one for
less period than the entire Congress, was
also undeniable; and out Of this fact grew
the only discussion that took place"

i is quite amusing to witness the wrathy
mood displayed by our neighbor the Stub
berdegulIion Of this place in one of its late
numbers. They firt and kick like tad
poles, when the last drop Of water is about
being dried up One of them has gone
so far rs TO fix his signature TO an article;
experimenting we presume that The peo-
pie would not find out that such man was
in existence. We are glad Of this. The
impression was that the lawyer part of
the Paper wrote those articles without con-
stelatlons, and the pill part those with
them. From one Of their late numbers,
il appears that this order has been chang

we are not confused by the frantic ebulli-

bark, and cats new, before today. The

TIE ELECTION.

In io.days paper we give complete re-
turns from 10 counties, and incomplete
from counties. By these returns, twill
appear that the aggregate Wing malorltles
have increased. In the Free Trader OF
the 3Oth Of April, the Editor acknowledges
that they are beat, and styles it San ia
cin,o defeat Whether the Free Traders
apprehensions will be fulfilled by the re-
turns, VIC do not pretend to say. The
votes of Copish and Marshall Indicate a
favorable result. The majorities in those
counties have dwindled TO almost nothing.
We predicted some time ago, that old Co
piah was awakening, and, by the result,
we are fully sustained. The Free Ira.
der the above date, states that the Wing
ticket has prevailed in De Solo and Ponto-
toe counties. If this information be cor
rect, our cause is certainly prospering;
for last year those counties were certainly
Democratic. Mr.. Preniiss seemed so con-

Nh. CALHouN.-This great stn,a.'

ter what policy he may advocalp a ..lS

into power, began TO assume powers"
delegated by the Constitution, and !"
scribed every man who had indepeudl'"S

power, slandered and traduced BY eVs,v
sycophantish slave in our wide sDrai
country; and as far as Andrew Jacky
and his party could do it was degraded,n
disgraced. When the North, BY w1s
ty Of unjust and unconstitutional Lavish
came our task-masters, and made as hev.
ers of wood, and drawers Of water, when
the whole South had succombed 10 me
demands of the North, and were suGerr,
themselves to be forever bound to The M

We do not pretend TO defend Mr. Cal !

UNION BANK.-Fhe Managers Of thi.
institution held meeting during the pas
week, and adjourned on Saturday evening
The only business finally acted on was the
election Of officers.
Samuel Gwinn, was elected Cashier.
- Greeneaf. of P. Gibson, assist. do
Wyatt, of Paulding, Teller.
These appointments will give general
satisfaction. COL Gwin has been long ac
quainted with the people Of the northern
part of the State, is very efficient and
laborious business man, and having been
engaged in the Land Office, he is acquaint
ed with the titles toproperty. Mr.. Green
leaf is also an experienced Bank officer
oil handsome legal aItainuuu,-, .>nd will
be found valuable aid in getting the in
stitution into operation.
Mr.. Wyatt, the Teller, has been well
recommended for integrity, ability and
business habits. The Managers are pro-
ceeding with great caution in organising
the Bank, being aware that false step
in starting would be injurious, if not latal,
to the success Of the Bank. They feel
that the Bank, fjudiciously managed, will
be the means Of saving the State from the
gulf into which she must eventually fall,
unless snatched from the hands of the
Commission Merchants, and the still more
rapacious nav of those shaving shops
which are now literally robbing the PEG.
pie of so per cent. Of their industry.
The Managers meet again in May, but
IT is doubtful whether they can put the
Bank into operation till the stock shall
have been subscribed, which cannot be be-
fore six months. They will then, howcv-
er, appoint commissioners to sell a por.
ton Of the Bonds, and in the meantime
the officers will open correspondence
with the principal capitalists and money
ed men in the country, in order to prepare
for the appointment OF Commissioners,
the execution, and the negotiation OF the
bonds.-Sentinel & Erpositor.

We heard respectable citizen, at Tai
bert's precind, on the day of the election,
declare, that i Mr.. Claiborne's letter could
be produced, In which he stated that he
would not submit his certificate Of election
to the committee, because it limited his
term of service TO the called session, he
would never support him again. After
we returned home we laid our hands upon
the Document that he wished to see pro-
cured. tits printed by order of the House
Of Representatives, and of course it is cor
rect. We extract the whole of the argu-
ment in relation to this particular point.
Let any one ask what means that part OF
1t, which reads thus: "Those (meaning
credentials) sent to me were received: but
perceiring that they contained the Limitation
Of the term Of service mention~-"1n the Cor

TENDER, the credentials OF nv colleague
and myself were not before the committee.
Now. It is well known that the credentials
OF member elect are rarely, il ever, de-
manded, when he presents himself to quail
lfy; and that, perhaps, not one-half of the
members have their credentials in their
possession. All that is necessary is sat.
isfactory evidence of the election of the
individual. The points out no par.
ticular mode in which this is TO be given.
The House, which, BY the constitution, is
"the judge oftke elections, returns, and
qualifications gifts own MEMBERS" is the
Judge, necessarily; OF the evidence of their
election, or, in pther words, their creden-
hdLS; and cases have occurred in which
the House, not satisfied with the evidence
Of election presented, has taken testimony
TO show that TIP party presenting il has
received illegal votes; and therefore, al
though holdingIthe ordinary credentials,
was not entitled to his seat. The creden-
tials of the ordhary form are. therefore.
OF themselves, Ono binding authority; and
u the exhIbitlol OF them would not estop

tho want Of then, if the House were salts.

ted in September last, was statement
