another reign of shin-plasters.
There is bill of great Importance to
the citizens Of this county, which we hope
will pass--our correspondent SAYS it will
pass without much opposition. The bill
provides that the two millions of stock now
in the Planters Bank shall be transferred
to the Mississippi Bank, for the purpose Of
enabling them to complete the rail road
already undertaken from Natchez by way
of Gallatin to jackson. We may now look
forward to the completion Of this road to
this place, in Is months,--we have not a
doubt but that some of our planters will be
found next fall hauling their cotton to the
derot at the edge of the county.
We understand that the enterprising
president Judge Quitman says he will have
it under contract from Gambels to this
place during the present year.
The Hon. Sabert Y. Hayne is at present

DEAR Satisfactorily one Of the
most outrageous, palpable, and wilful
Misrepresentation Of the public will,
known to free people, was pcrpctra-
ted within :he walls Of the Capitol Of
Mississippi. The base deed Of treach-
cry and deserticn Of the vital princi,
pie Of RepubIican;sm, was glairingly
exhibited by a number of Federal Sen
ators and Representatives in the cleo
ton of United States Senator.
The two Houses having convened at
IL O'clock, proceeded to ballot Tor a
United States Senator for the constitu-
tiol,al term Of six years; when it APP
pear,,d upon counting the votes, that
the firs:' ballot was as follows:

Wbe, eupoh John Henderson, hav-
ing a majority of the whole number Of
votes given in, was declared duly and
constitutiona,'Iy elected Senator in
the Congress o.f the U. Estates for six
years from the A th Of March.
The Senators " no basely and know
ingly violated the will OF their constit-
uents by voting for john Henderson
are Samuel Ragsdale, Of Monroe, and

To the Editor ofMc Planter

Dr.. SIR:-Mr. PoINDExTER waits upon
me moment. to enable mo to give you
some information touching the action Of
the Legislature, and other matters at the
Capitol. Gen. HAYsE, Of s. Carolina, de-
livered an address in the State House, on
Tuesday, to probably 600 persons. The
address was wholly upon the subject Of In
ternal Improvement, and Southern and d.
ect trade, and in the close Of his remarks,
adverted to the Question Of Abolition.
Should the Speech come out from the
press before Mr.. Poindexter leaves, / will
forward it to you.
Much excitement prevails here upon the
topics Legislated upon, and now in pro-
gress. you have been advised that the re-
solution recommending the Union Bank to
reissue Post Notes, has passed the SEN
ate. This measure l refused to support,
and for having independence, to act upon
my own judgment, and what really be-
lieve to be the interest Of my immediate
constituents, / have been assailed in the
streets; and my friend ofthe Southern Sun,
has clothed me in mourning as you will see
from the paper Isend you.*
But if being shrouded in mourning will
drive anifTBdeemable and spurious curren-
cy fremtbe country, am willing to mourn
in sackcloth and ashes for the term Of one
year; and ] still intend to go il MOURN
ing, until the death of the shinplastcr sys-
tenn is mourned from the State.
A Bill has passed the Senate to prevent
unauthorized Banking. Some Of the pro-
visions Of the Bill Ibid not like, but ii was
