FOR THE UNITED STATES SENATE,
Hon. JOHN HENDERSON,
OF HANCOCK.

"The democratic and State Rights Convention "
which assembled at Jackson the sth instant, nom
mated the following ticket for the November elections
Govcrnor,-A. G. McNuTT,
Congress, G. BRowN and d. LIPscoMR,
Secretary Of Statc,-B, w. Benson,
Auditor,--A. B. SAUNDERS.
Judge c. p Smith, who has been heretofore known
as nullifer, acted Chairman of the Convention. -
Not Of the the ticket is to be found on
the list of State Rights Three Of them can
ddates at the last general election, and were opposed
by none more warmly than by Judges Smith and
Quitman. The political principles OF the candidates
are known to be the as they were year ago,
when they were opposed unanimously by the nulliers
Modern democracy is now what it was twelve months
ago, except that its abominable principles more
fully developed The expenditures of the public mon
ey, the appropriations for internal improvements by
the general government, the interference of Executive
officers in elections, have all increased enormously
der the democratic administration of Van Buren,.
Millions of the public money have been embezzled,
and defaulters have been openly sustained and vndi.
Gated by the adminstraton,-as the cases of Rob- T.
Lyte of Cincinnati and G. d. Boyd of this State, fully
show. In the former case the defaucr was promoted
10 more lucrative oce, and in the latter the agent
Of the government recommended that the dciaulter
be retained in Office because of the "looseness in the
code ofmoraty" in Mississippi. The questions Of a
National Bank and the Sub-Treasury were fully be-
fore the people at the last election, and the ocoocos
were then opposed by the whole State Rights party
The principles of the proclamation have never been
repudated Not single fact which was unknown at
the last general election be pointed out, to show
That the Van Buren, party is more favorable to the
principles of the State Rights party at present than in
1888 Those pretended nuliers who have joined the
democracy, must then excuse their course on the
ground of ignorance or the inference is inevitable,
that they exhibit an Industrious eXampleof the truth
Of Mr. Calhoun's remark, that the Van Buren, party
$ held together only by "the cohesive power of the
lablc plumber"

A RARE CHANCE

By the following advertisement extraordina
ry, which comes to US in an Express Slip from
the New York Times, it will be seen that our
Southwestern Sub-Treasurers will have q
rare chance afforded them for embarcation to
Europe on the lst February and on the LIST
March. The steamer which sailed as per ad-
verlisement on the 3lst ult., could not accom-
modate all the applicants, so that no time
should be lost in securing berhs. Late ac-

Making the Wing majority thus far 8; and
the wing gain 10. twill be remembered, how
ever, that five of the seven members from
South Carolina who were elected to the 25th
Congress as opponents Of the Administration,
and whom we have placed in that division Of
the above table as Wings, are thoroughgoing
Sub-Treasury men, and during the last two ses-
sons gave general support to the Administra-
ton, They should therefore be struck off from
the Wing list in the present Congress. This
would reduce our present number Of members
from the States above mentioned to 59--in-
stead or Gland our actual gain in the next
Congress accordingly ought to be set down as
l8insead Of 10.
One hundred and lorty-six members have al
ready been elected, Eleven States are to hold
elections in the course Of the next spring
and summer. They are entitled to 95 mem
1ers. New Hampshire leads off in March.

CeFIn consequence OF numerous applications
for passage, and, as it is said, the Secretary of
the Treasury has made request of the British
government not to send any more steamers
here for the present, the proprietors the new
steamer SUB-TREASURY, Calhoun, master,
will dispatch her for the above port on Monday
next All persons who are behind hand in
their accounts with the government will find
this the most expeditions way Of settling the
same.
Fare to Liverpool, so guineas. No freight
excepting specie will be taken. The number
of passengers will be limited to 200, and it is
requested that no one will bring on board more
than so kegs Of specie. Passengers will please
be on board precisely at 10 o'clock, at which
time she will positively sail. Should any
poor devil be found running down to the wharf
with his spoils, after the steamer has sailed, she
will haul to, off the Hook, if signal be raised
from the flagstaff at the Custom House. Should
sufficient encouragement be given, after the
arrival the steamer at Liverpool, she will be
Immediately despatched for the Deserts of Ara-
by, where all those who are toeary and heavy
laden will find comfort and rest.

gent enquiries from the Land, War and Post

Reuben w God,
The whole strength of the Loco Focos wa'
thrown for Judge Tappan, the matter having
been fully settled by them in Tin Pan caucu;
the evening previously.
Notwithstanding the numerous aspirants
among "tho party" for the Office, the Tin Par
drill was found amply sufficient to silence all
the refractory, and remove all difficulty. The
Loco Focos always manage to march in solid
phalanx, to the election OF all their officers
they never suffer themselves to be defeated by
divisions among any are dssat-
sfed by their Tin Pan edicls, they are soon
whipped in and made to toe the mark.
The success of Tappan is doubtless sore
pill to our friends Lyle, Benham, &c. But
they must swallow it.
Judge Tappan is man OF clever talents, an
abolition So, and brawling Democrat thou Oh
IN reality one of the most uncompromsing ar
lstocrats in the land In his own congressional
district, no man is more unpopular among the
people. Many most cordially hate him for his
exclusiveness, and imperious aristocratc bear
lng--and yetno man has shouted democracy
more voclerously, or detained more indus
trlously about the rights of the dear people.
He is brother Of arthur Tdppdn, the cele-
brated abolitionist in New York, and is himself
a decided abolitionist, as we have from good au-
thority; though he and his political friends at
Columbus, during the pendancy of the late
election, tried to captain away his abolition no.
tons. They however may deny his abolition
ism as much as they please, but we can prove
that he is rank abolitionist A gentleman OF
this city, Of high responsibility, in our Office
yesterday, assured US that he had conversa-
tons with Tappan on the subject, and that he
(Tappan) had expressed the most offensive alb
clifton sentiments.
Our southern trends may therefore learn
which Of the two parties, the Wings or Loco
focos, are their real friends. The administra.
ton men in Ohio, have just elected to one of
The most important offices in their gift, an abo-
ltlonlst-a man decidedly opposed to the rights
of the Southern States, and he was opposed by
every Wing vote. The Wings voted for Tho
mas Ewing, man of undoubted ability, and

can only give readers some extracts from the ca

ticle from the Mfssssippan will show what his friends
think of the Message. II is really strange that
of common sense will presume the ignorance of the
people, who, they say capable of self government,
so far as to attempt to make them believe that "pr-
yate rights" will not be injured by changing the Union
Bank to State Institution entirely Hundreds of
dollars have been expended in actual cash by the ct
zens Of Amtc county, preparing to become stockhol
ders in the bank besides the trouble and the time lost
by the subscribers for stock The charter has been
rendered by the State and accepted by the bank and
the Legislature has power to rescind the
tract now because the time has not been sufficient to
admit of the Banks knowing who are stockholders,
than it would have five years hence, when the Bank
has gone into complete operation The people will
soon learn to distinguish their friends from their
