"TEMPORA MUTANTA

"TEMPORA MUTANTA a"
Per last advices from our county seat
}, Liberty, we learn that our quondem enc
j, mics, the nullies. are going in for the Sub
+ Treasury--completely 'turned oqer," d,
perbum est. How now, gentlemen editors
Fl ofthe Advocate? panegprist Of "Prentiss
d Co.;'' what SAL you now to the voice Of
the people?-do you still cry out national
bank, in opposition to the known wishes Of
the people?-to be constant, YOU must wit
ness "Smiey's comment On Hadley's Adj
dress" and "Graye's Speech 1T Smiths
precinct, last Nov, when he Rsks, Speak
ing of a National Bank, J "ahS WIN you op-
pose an Institution which the voico Of
Washington assisted in establishingw
"No!' cries this modern Don Quixottc;
"a National Bank is what the people want,
and what they will have, and can my
voice do any thing for you in this truly
alarming crisis, it shall be heard as the
roaring of mighty whirlwind" But
this Boar Of the Thick Woods, Gas some
one has very appropriately termed Graves
will have to draw in those oburgatory
grunts and squeals against the Indepen-
dent Treasury, and "roar' a retrogadc.
Indeed, not only he, but our whole repre-
sentation is now opposed to the wishes of
the people, in regard to National Bank,
and | hope the people will take measures
very soon to express their opinion in favor
of the Sub-Treasury, by holding public
meetings, and let these faithess reprosen-
tatives, these would be Soons and Lycer-
guses know that their views on this sub
iect are not to be misrepresented in the
approaching legislature, let them speak in
in voice of thunder to these shutting,
canting politicians-let them speak pc
remptorily-say that they must be obey
ed, or these bankites resign their seats.
The people are not going to be gulled
any longer. Proteus like, Smith must
change again--put on his no party coat;
and Graves must follow the dictum of his
oracle. The Governor of Tickfaw, after
a long and no doubt disagreeable ride on
the fence; SAYS that he shall retire from
the hum and hustle of public life--proba-
bly, give the remainder of his time to the
study of Theology. Requiesent in Dacem.
Republican and State Rights-men of A.
mite: though you were deceived by the
hypocritical and demagrugical speeches
of Smith and Graves, last wear, Won have
too much native pride to suffer them to
misrepresent you with impuntv, BY going
for a measure--we mean National Bank,
supported exclusively by the pariizans q
Henry Clay.
1t is known now, not only to the people
of this county, but to the whole state,
that every true State Rights-man is in IA
vor of the Sub-Treasury; those opposed to
it are the remains of the supporters Of ].
@. Adams, and the friends of III Clay.
We have heard it limited that Judge z.
Smith intends resigning, we hope it may
be SO, and think that Graves would do well
to follow his example, for he, no more
than Smith. will be seen at jackson after
the coming session Of the legislature, wa
mean as Representatives. They can, i
they choose, meet there annually or ban-
nuaIly, as may best suit their whims, and
hold confidential conversation as to the
probable success of the Piney Woods Plan
ter, or scan the characters Of its editors
