Mississippi, Ito vote

MiSSlSsipPi, tto 'ote
We have given Van Buren, all the Cal
houn Nuflifiers from South Carolina as
well as the Union men. We only claim
abe two Anti-Sub-Treasury State Rights
Members. So the only chances of Van
Buren, majority and Speaker must rest on
the following contingencies:
/. That some of the Georgia Wings will
be coaxed over to oCalhounism;
2. That the New Jersey Wings will be
bullied out of voting for Speaker; or
3. That some Of the lazy Wings will be
COO dilatory in reaching Washington to vote
for Speaker.
We hope none Of these mischances will
occur, but that firm Wing majority will
be on the ground, WHIG Speaker chos-
en-. and WHO Committee secured

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE JEWELS.
A TRADITION OF THE RABBis.


The celebrated teacher, RABBI Meir, sat
during the whole Of one Sabbath day in the
public school instructng the people. Dur
ing his absen ce from the house his two sons
died. Both of them of uncommon beauty,
and enlightened In the law. His wife bore
them to her bed hamber, laid them upon
the marriage bed, and spread white COW
ering over their bodies. In the evening
the Rabbi Meir came home.
"Whefe are my two sons" lie asked,
"that may give them my blessing' re-
peatedly looked round the school, did not
see them there.
She reached to him goblet. He pras-
ed the Lord at the going out of the Sab
bath, drank again and asked
"Where are my sons, that they too may
drink of the cup of blessings?
tsThey will not be far off, she said and
placed food before him that he might eat.
He was in gladsome and genial mood
and when he had said grace after the meal,
she thus addressed him.
"Rabbi, with thy permission, l would
fain propose to thee one question.
"Ask it then, my love-" he replied.
GA few days ago, person entrusted
some Jewels to my custody, and now he de-
mands them again: should give them np?'
"This is question:" said Rabbi Meir,
(which my wife should not have thought it
necessary to ask. Why wouldst thou hes
itate or be reluctant to restore to every one
his own!"
"No," she replied. ''bu, yet thought
it best not to restore them without acquaint-
inp thee herewith -
She then led him to the chamber, and
stepping to the bed, took the white cover
ing from the dead bodies.
"Ah! my sons, my sonsn' thus loudly
lamented the father; "my sons! the light oil
mine eyes and the light of my understand
ing!-I was your father, but ye were my
teachers in the law.
The mother turned away and wept bit
terly. At length she took her husband by
the hand and said
"Rabbi, didst thou not teach me that
we must not be reluctant to restore that
which was entrusted to our keeping? See
lhe Lord gave, the Lord has taken away,
and blessed be the name of the Lord"
"Bessed be the name of the Lord" ech-
1oed Rabbi Meir, and blessed be his name
for thy sake too, for well it is written,-
"Wboso hath found virtuous wife, hath
greater treasure than costly pcarls she
openeth her mouth with wisdom, and in
her tongue is the law of kindness"

This idea is taken from Mr.. Walkers

on the credulously simple. We should
be surprised if there was q planter in
the State who if selling his cotton for
brandon or any other paper would not
make such difference In the amount to
be received as TO bring his cotton up to
the specie price. 1t is a self-evidcnt facs
that no man of sense would take the

II AN AGAINST THE WHOLE PAPER sYs-
TEN, against II as destructive Of the NOR
ais, dangerous to the liberties, and ruin
ous TO Tie true interests of tie american
People. - Extract from II. j. Walkers
Letter.
This may now be regarded as the car
dinal principle of the Van Buren, party
in the State. Their object is now deve-
loped-it is destruction of all banks
and bank paper, leaving nothing but a
specie circulation. The people of Mis-
sissippi are in the worst possible condi-
ton for such a measure, as the effect of
that would make the rich richer, and the
poor poorer. The man who might owe
$4,000, and have 100000 worth of
property might have the whole swept
from him to satisfy that amount. For
instance--say that with circulation of
paper and gold and silver of one humid
rel million in our State, negro is worth
and will sell for one thousand dollars,
and that at once the circulation is reduc-
ed to ten million; of course the sum for
which the negro would then sell would
be SO much less in proportion as the "a
mount of circulation was reduced. The
consequence would be that every man in
the State who was in debt-and there
are few who are not--would be reduced
at once to beggary. 1t will also appear
from the following extract from Mr..
Walkers speech in 1884, that he thought
then, the same results follow such poll
| cy, as we do, but TO which he now gives
his support. But hear him.
s.Sir, (said Mr.. Walker.) the Senator
from Missouri has thrice repeated the
prayer .'God save the country from, the
committee on public lands;n but Mr. w.
fully believed that if the prayer of the
country could be heard within these
walls, it would be, GOD SAyEUS FROM
THE WILD VISIONARY, RUINOUS
AND INPRACTICABLE SCHEME OF
THE SENATOR FROM MISSOURI
FROM EXCLUSIVE GOLD AND SILL
YER CURRENCY; and such is not only
the prayer. Of the country but of the Sen
ale with scarce dissenting voice. Sir,
If the Senator from Missouri could by his
mandate, In direct opposition to the views
of the President, heretofore expressed
sweep from existence Fall the banks of
the States and establish his exclusive
constitutional currency of gold and sill
yer, he would bring upon the country
scenes of ruin and distress without a
Parallel-an immediate bankruptcy oil
nearly every debtor. and of almost every
debtor, and of almost every creditor to
whom large amounts were due, a prodi-
gious depreciation in the price of all
property and all products, and an imme-
date cessation by States and individuals
OF nearly every work Of private enter
drisc or public Improvement. The coun-
try would be involved in one universal |
bankruptcy, and near the grave of the
nations prosperity would perhaps repese
the scattered fragments of those great
and glorious institutions which give hap
piness to millions here, and hope to mil
lions more of discnihralment from des-
potic power.

Rank SWindIers.

This term which is equivocal Is ire
ouently used by the Van Buren, loco To-
cos. who probably have never thought
what meaning might be attached TO 1t.
OF the different swindling that has been
carried on the state for some time past,
a portion of the Banks have largely IN
duloed. Some men have swIndled by issu-
ing shin plasters, others have swlndled
by running their property to Texas, and
others have swindled by borrowing mo-
ney from banks and refusing to pay the
banks eren n their own deprecated notes
These last are as bad as any of the
swindlers, because if they would pay
the bank in their own notes, the banks
would soon make its notes good to the
mechanic, laborer and merchants, who
might chance to have them.
With what kind of face can an honest
when probably if he would pay what be
owes, the bank could make its paper good
to others who do not owe it one cent.
We hold that no man can with pro-
priety, as long as he owes that bank one
cent. Let every man who owes a bank
in the State one dollar, pay it, and then
if the paper of that bank is not immedi-
atcly made good--pull down the institu-
ton and arraign the officers for swind-
ling.
Thank heaven we have not borrowed
dollar from any of them, and hold that
we have the right to say what we please
about them, and we shall do so.

..Since 1924 have been on the Bench,
and had no voice in the Legislature; but
have never concealed my opinions; and
have ever been ready and willing TO do

the State to strict account--to have a
resumption Of specie payments by Civ
en- day, or judicial proceedings institu-
ted; wish to restore the credit of the
State-pcacibly and by legal means, and
and not by force"
With such sentiments as these, and
with the knowledge we have of Judge
Turner'S private and public character
for nearly half a century, we feel con-
WINGED, that the people will not hesitate
in making their choice at the November
election.
