state- Invilation Of Genern1 Jaekson.

From the Mississippian we learn that OF
the goth ult. meeting was held in Jackson
for the purpose Of edTecting STATE Laviiatior
to Gen. Jackson, 10 visit Mississippi as ID
guest in January next, to an entertainment
70 be given him BY the state, at Jackson
This measure is said to be ''of the people o.
Mississippi from various parts Of the state,
aoatom distinction Of party" twenty-five
persons constitute a committee Ofinvitatiou
the citizens Of the State generally are IN.
vited to the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES per.
sons are to direct the arrangements-thol leo.
islature is requested "to invite Gen. Jackson
; TO visit the city ofJackson as the guest oCL6s
STATE efyHisstssippi," and "al the volunteer
companies in the state" are invited 10 visit
Jackson and participate in the entertain
ment.
At the present writing we know not, and
SO far as our course is concerned we care
not, what is the voice of single press on
this subject; 6ut zoe deRounce the nao0emeat az
an insiduOus, unjusfifabEe, political move-a
libel upon The people cfLhe state, and a highIy
censura6Le and understandable attempt ofa
fen political a0ire-tOoYkers and spectators, TO
6ouIster up locofocOism in view Of Tie ap-
preaching presidential election, al the expense
ofhe people aohom they irish to dcceive.
1t is not true thai ''a large meeting of the
people Of Mississippi from various parts of
the state, without distinction of party, enter
tain the following sentiment, which forms
the substance ofthe preamble to the resolu-
tons:
"Whereas this meeting believe that Gen.
g Jackson well deserves the respect and ad-
4" miratiOn of the American people, for his
&C distinguished services to the country, and
sc that to no State has his services been more
6 beneficial than to the State of Mississippi"
This sentiment is not only false but it is a
political, Van Buren,, Sub Treasury nostrum
at war with Wing politics, intended to be
administered now that it may operate next
November. A nostrum which we hope will
not be taken by the people, although it is
sugared over with ''tOatom distinction Of
party" Gen. Jackson deserves the "res-
pect" of the American people because he
has been their president, but he deserves no
admiration for any distinguished services
while president; much less has he rendered
any such services to Mississippi. His ad-
ministration was a curse upon the country,
haughty, tyrrannicaI usurpation of Execu-
tive power, which is not yet regained by the
people; and upon no state has the iron hand
of this usurpaton fallen heavier than upon
devoted Mississippi.
We are aware that this movement is di-
rected to General Jackson and not President
Jackson: and we are also aware of the insid-
iousness ofthis device, and the political ends
attempted to be accomplished by it. We
know too that it may be said that Gen. Jack
son was opposed to the Sub Treasury scheme
but we know that he is now in favor oft.
No man living done more than Gen. Jackson
did to elevate to the Gubernatorial chair of
Tennessee the man who deserves the pro-
foundeSt anathmas ofevery Mississippian.
But we oppose this state invitation move
ment upon different and higher grounds.
than thatit is political monevre, intended
by a few leading locofocos to affect the pres
idential election next fall.
Here is proposition that the state of Mis-
sissippi shall make an entertainment in Tacl,-
son next winter that will cost ten or ff,eon
thousand dollars! A splendid idea this,

rassmont and insolvency. Degraded in the

We denounce the folly and extravaganza
