STATE RIGHTS
COLUMBUS. TUESDAY, NOV. rs,
OUR NEXT LEGTSLATURE.

Which ever of the great political parties
may have succeeded in the late contest, the
position is nevertheless true, that the next ses.
sion Of our Legislature is looked up to as one
of great importance to the state. On the
hand is the crisis Of an unparalleled pressure
and pecuniary distress, and on the other a
rotten State Bank system, already exploded,
with prospect of being blown still higher
by the introduction Of more odious system-
the aub-treasury of Martin Van Burcn. Here
then is crisis which requires the talents of
the greatest and most profound statesmen to
manage; which calls for the vigilence and
firmness. of the most patriotic-that every
thing may be done that can and that nothing
should be left undone, on account of any bear
ing it may have 70 the prejudice of conceived
popularity. Let those who are elected mem.
bers to set in that august assembly, on the
momentons affairs of this State, at the ensuing
session, ask themselves this question Are

be doubtful on this point, then we say stay at

The editor of the Democrat is entirely!mis-
taken in his opinion that we are long-eared
animal selected by 10 certain clique" to bray
through the columns Of the Argus. 1t is in
vain for him 10 attempt 10 identity us with
creature ofhimseg And neither are our ears
so long as he may think them to be, nor has 50
short, as they may yet become. In regard to
our connection with the Argus, there were not
Ave wings who knew any thing of our inten-
ton until We had taken hold of the same. We
connected OurseH with it for the purpose of
procuring an honest livelihood, by advocating
republican and free principles-and exposing
those that are anti-repuhican, slavish and cor.
rnpt-such as the editor ofthat print is wont
to proclaim. We are, therefore, Of our o,cn
selecting, and not that Of "a certain clique" or
party. Our principles, however, accord with
those of the great republican family in this
country, that commenced its existence with
Thomas Jefferson, and has been opposed TO IT,
ranny and corruption ever since, and in favor Of
a strict adherence to the constitution and laws
We are no stipendiary-we do not pander to
the corruption Of any party for pay. We ex-
pect neither honor nor reward. Our course is
and shall be. influenced by no such considera-
lions; but, We are bold, because free; and IN
dependent, because we intend to rernainso-
despite Of all the evils that Van Buren, demo-
cracy, with its ocean Of corruption can bring
on the country. Ay, We may be stripped Of
every earthly thing, but whilst we have life left
us, We intend to be free.

THEATRE.

Messrs. Chapman and Hamilton
Dramatic corps, together with Mr.. A. A.
adams and Lady are still in our village
They have received the appreciation
Of all who have witnessed their perform
ances, and for ourselves, we can say we
have never been more pleased with any
dramatic presentations than we have
with those offered us by the company
now in our town.
Mr.. Adams is certainly one of the
first of actors, and we do not commend
him too highly when we say that there
are characters in which he can have but
few equals, and no superiors. Sir Ed
ward Mortimer, in the Iron Chest, was
more than well played, and some scenes
in Richard the Third, could not have
been played better by any one.
OF the rest of the Company we have
spoken before--of those favourablv, we
have no cause TO censure now-of those
unfavourab!y, our good nature will not
permit US to deal harshly with at part
ing.
Tonight is the last night, and is for
the benefit of Miss Caroline and Therese
Chapman, when the truly splendid
opera of the Mountaineers will be rep
resented. As the play itself is decidedly
good, aud the young ladies' arc both
favorites, we bespeak for them full and
crowded house.

We have been told by friend of ours
that the ladies' have a great aversion to
the Madison Wing Advocate, because il
has heretofore contained nothing, but
same versus same, Sheriff, Marsahl and
Dep'ty. We have felt that the Advo-
cate has for the last two or three months
contained but little to interest the female
part Of our readers, as the occasional
beautiful lines of our worthy poetical
correspondent, "Lorrain," the soft melo-
dy of "Ifal," when be sang of Love, as
now he sings Of Evening Hour, together
with Edgars racy article on the Gallon
Law, and the fine moral essays Of "Phi-
lanthropia" on Gambling-of course not
for them-was all it contained
to recommend it to their notice. But
now as the sales are over, and if our cor
should not become infected
with the prevailing malady OF the times,
as we now and then are-we hope to
make our paper more interesting to the
fairer portion of our readers. For this
weeks paper we have selected "a couple
of stray ledUeS," for their especial bene-
fit, which the ladies will find on the first
page of our paper-we would commend
it to them-and also, the married gentle
men.

MrLLHAvEN MANUFACTURING COMPANY
1t will be seen from an advertisement
in our paper OF to-day that the books are
now open in this place for subscription
of stock in this company.
The object of the company is to en-
courage domestic manufacture in cottons
and woolIens, that we may not be de-
pendant for our supplies of such arti-
Giles hereafter from abroad. The facto-
ries, when sufficient amount of stock
is taken, will be established at MilIhaven
in Simpson county, or at some other
place within forty miles Of the seat of
Government As the object is a lauda-
bic one, it is hoped that all who may
have money to invest in stocks will call
and examine the charter of this Compa-
ny, which will have banking privileges
annexed to it.
