There would be a competition Gom al pant,

q NO man OF common sense can doubt that he
kamoun of sales would be immense, and woud
Enot only erect all the public buildings, but, leave
large surplus. 1.-THE selection should be made

Let ;he people Of Mississippi, therefore, met

zens OF all parties, and in all parts Of the State
kto lay aside all personal or sectional feelings
Let us unite IN promoting all meusurcs which may
tend to elevate our State, promote It's prosperity
and deyeIopo its great resources. The people
must sci up for themselves, and cut loose from
the leading strings of the petty corporaIlCrs
: They must resolve and instruct their public scr
wants. We have been too long under corpoIa'

Legislature enacted that ga good aud suflcleo'

over all others in Europe.
