I'm Bill is disposed Of voted ugains
crceing to the resolution of the Senate
nd for laying it on the table. My rea

lroly incxpedent TO touch this revised
L Eode until knew what course the Legis

Auestion. II we are to have new con
Sention, am opposed to intermeddlins
A kith the code, for the reason that after the
NV Constitution is framed, new code O
Aws will be demanded to suit the exgen
#ies and requirements Of that new const

hould waste the money Of the State in or.
aiming laws, which are Immediately to
cast aside. Again did not like the

through the lower House, is now settled
beyond question. motion was made TO-

N The avowed object of this movement was
sude feat the Bill. Being viewed in this
Iinht, the friends of the Bank rallied TO its
sipport, and the motion to commit it, was
l6st by a vote of SO to So This vote is near
Ia correct indication of the feeling OF
8|b House on this subject. have no doubt
A W at il will pass the Senate. You
E'|ay now regard the success Of the Bank
B inevtable, unless the Governor should
Hlerpose his veto
The report of the Bank Commissioners
ps submitted to US to-day, accompanied
th very extraordinary message from
Ne Governor. Ten thousand copies were
0fdered to be printed. Iopposed such alb
*hrd extravaganza. Chiffon, from Vicks-
1nrg, after they were read, charged the
governor with having, in his accompany
Ahg message, hbelled the people, the State
Rnd its institutions. He stated that the
Governor had made false statements, pre-
Rendedly based upon the report of the COM
missloners, but in fact, of his own fabri-
eation. The governor lcyelIed his artilIe-
ry against the Planters Bank at Natchez,
and the agricultural Bank, and the gen
Eleman from Warren observed that the |
8oyernor's unfounded assertions in re-
gard to the desperate situation Of our
4nnks, would have tendency to destroy
|heir credit abroad, where McNutt's char
aEter for veracity was not known, His |
Eemartls were indeed very severe. How |
Ne Governor will bear this castigation.
9hnnot tell. The Governor of our State
in tight box. 1t seems that the mes
'Ages he sends to US are burdened with
'uis-statements; and, when he enters ball
IpDms, for indecorous department he is
trust out-charged with falsehood by
Aembers in the HouSe--and conducted out
II o social circle for indecent behaviour;
ID is indeed to be pitied. | do canddIy
hink that the Governors charge against
'ur Banks is calculated to depreciate their
letes still lower in the estimation of our
lster States. The discount on our paper
now great, and whitening to the best in
rests of the community; but our Cover
lcr'S malignity can only be gratiied by
Mixing still lower the notes Of our Banks,
|Nd plunging the country into distress and
I'M God save the country from his dis
lsganizing Loco-Focoism. Carry out his
|Amning schemes, and you reduce to mis-
w and wretchedness thousands of our
8llow-citizens. Crush the Banks and you
rush the people. They are so intimately
aterwoven, that by assassinating the one
'ou assasnate the other.
NThe Governor has appointed John w.
'Fice, CLERK Of the House of Representa-
Fes) Adjutant General He is very
Nung, and northern man, about whom |
"a don't know much, with the exception
Rnt he is loud-mouthed Democrat. The
Benocrats are displeased at the appoint $
enc That an office of such vast impor-
Ancc should be conferred upon young
nan--a man that has so recently emigra-
N into the State, over the claims of old 9
Pa experienced men, whose interests are
qentliled with ours, is just cause of COM
amt. However, the motto is, 'to the VIC
Nrs belong the spoils"
am requested by my colleague in the 9
'fnate to say, that he concurs with my $
Jews In relation to the Revised Code, and
voted in the Senate, when the resolu- l
ION was sent down to the House, {
