Stale, commanding what is right, and pro-
hibiting what is wrong, general acquain-
lance with its provisions is desirable to
the scholar, the legislator, the planter and
mechanic, as well as the lawyer by profess
sion. All classes Of society, in republi-
can government. like our own, dependant,
for the perpetuity Of its institutions, alone
on an enlightened public sentiment, re-
qure some knowledge of the legal enact.
ments, upon which their lives, their lib.
critics, and their fortunes, depend.
The laws Of Mississippi, ola general ma
ture, as enacted by her successive legisla-
lures, lie scattered in numerous volumes,
buried under mass of private acts, of i'm
portance to those alone who are directly
interested in their provisions, and offering,
by their bulk, and the want Of Encouragement,
an almost insuperable barrier to that gen
eral dissemination of their contents, a.
mongst the great mass of the people,
which their Importance would seem to re.
quire.
To collect and arrange all the laws of a
general nature, now in force, in this State,
under their appropriate titles, together
with a suitable digested index, and super
intending,in person, the completion ofthe
work, until ready for delivery, will be a
labor Of no small magnitude. The sup
port and patronage Of the intelligent citi-
zens ofthis great State, feel confident,
will not be withheld from aiding in the ac-
complishment of work which will more
widely discriminate knowledge of our
institutions, and the wisdom on which they
are based.

Of maintaining that harmony among the
party in ourlocal elections, which appears
10 prevail, 10 such an eminent degree, in re-
lation to our candidate for Governor. Ono
ofthe fundamental principles Of our party is,
that every individual has right to have
his claims for support TO an Office presented
to the proper ordeal, and, therefore, no one
member of the party has any right 10
clam, Mct his name, and his only, shall
be presented 10 the nominating convention,
TO the eTcluSion of all others. There is
no man neither, without friends, and it GER
tainly cannot advance the interest of one
candidate to embitter the friends Of the
other, by using language towards them or
him, that is calculated to irrritate or wound
the feelings. If this IS done, and persisted
in, it certainly cannot be expected that, that
' union and harmony" will prevail in our
nominations, which is so much desired by
every true democrat at the present momen.
tious period of our political affairs. We
must begin right if we would end right
We must maintain a1eciprocity ofgood feel
ing before, as well as after, the nominations
are made, if we would wish to preserve our
ranks unbroken, and present bold front to
our enemies in the general battlefield. So
far as we can learn, this is the determina-
ton Of our democratic brethren throughout
the county, and that every attempt, let it
come from quarter it may, to disturb this
good feeling--to distract or create dissen-
tons in the party-or to prevent fair and
unbiased expression of the people, either in
their primary assemblies, or at the county
convention, will be discounenanced and re-
ceive that rebuke which it will so Justly
merit, Should this determination be car
ried into effect, and we trust it will, we have
no hesitation in saying, that whatever tick
ct is fairly formed by the nominating con-
vention, will be elected by an oyerwhelm-
ing majority. @

" Union and harmony" should be our
watch-word;a land if adhered to in good faith,
there cannot be doubt of the triumphant
success of the Democratic party in this
county, and Congressional district, at the
coming election. The names of several
gentlemen have already been brought for
ward for the consideration of the county
convention, with strong claims for nomina-
ton to the various offices of the county,
and from present appearances, the list will
be swelled much larger, before the time for
action shall arrive; so that eUery office to
be voted for by the people, will have more
than one democratic claimant for nomina-
ton by the convention. 1t is the duty then,
of the democratic party to freely, frankly
and kindly to discuss the claims of the va
fious candidates for nomination, with view

For fear that the people of Columbia
county should not have the pleasure OF
reading the subioined precious article, pub
lshed in the last Register, we extract it in
to our paper. 'Tis seldom we have an op-
portunity of giving circulation to an article of
such real excellence. Unfortunately the ta-
lents and tastes of some men are hidden un-
der bushel, and ii is only under peculiar
circumstances that they are brought to light.
When they are, they should be priced the
more highly. What a pity it is that the
Register has not more extensive circula-
ton, as such articles, written with such a
spirit, would have more effect to advance
the election of David r. Porter, than all that
could be said in his favor by his friends
