| MISSISSIPPI Contrary TO the anticipations of
every body, the Wings have elected their candid
ates for speaker of tho House and president Of the
Senate Of tue Mississippi Legislature. The Van
Burenites claimed the majority with much con-
fdence that the Wings were not disposed TO con-
test the point but the assem- bling of the Legislature
has disappointed both parties

The SUB TREASURY. This measure has again
been brought before the Senate. Mr. Calhoun has
taken it under his especial protection, and is urging
its passage. 1t has been introduced with some
slight notifications intending to catch the Conser-
va,ives but howI is likely to succeed the following
article from the Madisonian, the Conservative Or
gan, sufficiently indicates.

After all the reverses we have experienced, tho
lessons have been taught and the preaching we
have heard little efloct,-contrary we fancy, to all
expectations has been produced upon the minds OF
those who have the direction of national finan-
ces. We bad hoped that recent events would have
impressed upon all the duty of an "ahsolute acqui-
eSCGnCG IN the decisions Oh lHe ted1Orlty the
principle of the Republic; and induced the friends
OF the new measures 10 have employed themselve s
in the consideration of practical objects We fear,
however, we are doomed TO disappointment, aud it
requires no prophetic vision to sec in the sin Gil
movement about to be made by the leaders Of the
party, the hand writing Of their DOOM
The whole movement, satisfied, will be
to advance far aud fast practicable, toward
the designed establishment of Treasury Bank
The Sub Treasury Bill of the late special session is
to be but slightly and immaerally modified. Mr..
Calhoun, the great file leader of the ub-Treasury
party, is TO triumph in the report of his amendment
The scheme will be- that the plan of the Treas
ury building shall be altered, and provided with fire
proof vaults, sales, &c, (the hydrostatic balances
we believe, not to lie mentioncd) and this to
be called The Treasury Of the United States.
The MINIS in Philade phla, New Orleans and the
Mint in North Carolina, TO be made by law ode
positorios of Public Money"
especial Depositories' are to be created in New
York, Charleston, S. c. and Boston, under the care
!, of ''Rcceivers General"
Al certain points and under certain circumstances
Post Masters, and other receivers of public money
arc to be "Depositores' Of public money, and al
lowed Il compensation for SGtcs &c.
When the public money exceeds four millions,
the Secretary of the Treasury is TO the surplus
in United States stocks, State Stocks, and sell
out again when the sum is less than four millions,
thus making the Secretary of the Treasury grand
Banker and Stock Jobber.
The hard money amendment of MI Calhoun is
to be preserved, and the public money, after an in
terva (of six years, we believeO is to be collected
in gold and silver exclusively.
Under certain circumstances, public money may,
by the receivers thereof be deposited IN banks un-
der the l0ck and Icy of the officer deposting the
same.
This is substantially the outline of the schome,
which is to be presented by those who profess
eddy anxious to compromise, and defer to the opin-
ions of others, and to conform to the wishes of the
people!
We can only say of it at present, that it is % dis
