DEMONSTRATIONS OF ALABAMA.

We are in receipt of Gov. Bagby's Message
TO his body; but have no room for extracts
to-day. That portion in relation to the Banks
of the State we shall copy in our next. He
is not so savage towards them as probably the
Executive of this State will be towards those
of Mississippi. He is in favor of a continuance
of the State Bank system, with some amend
ments in its management, and opposed to a
sale of any portion of the stock to individuals
Considering the circulating medium of the
State as inadequate to the purposes of trade.
and the convenience of the citizens, he re-
commends an augmentation of the same, by an
issuance of Post Notes, or the paper of the
suspended banks. He is in high dudgeon at
the late decision of the High Court at Wash
ington, in the case of the Carrolton Rail Road
Bank of Louisiana, and recommends the pas
sage of a law that shall hereafter secure the
State in those rights which he considers have
been violated on this occasion. We shall no.
tice it again hereafter.

JUDGE WHITE.

The last Democrat contains a flaming ar
ticle of denunciation and unmeasured abuse
directed at the devoted head of this eminent
citizen and statesman, for not resigning his
seat in the Senate of the United States in ac-
cordance with sundry Resolutions passed by
the Loco Foco Legislature of Tennessee.
Misunderstanding 10 the scurrility the Demo-
crat, in regard to those Senators of has party
who now hold, and have for years, their seats
in the same body, regardless of instructions
and every principle which they are SO eager
should govern others, we would ask him, why
BOB STRANGE and BEDFORD Brown of n. c.,
and Senator WRIGHT of N. Y, still continue
to misrepresent the will of their constituents.
They have been called upon TO resign re-
peatedly. in divers ways, aside from the plain
course to pursue under such circumstances,
but still hang on, like death to dead dog.
Again, viii the Senators from Michigan, which
has lately gone for the wings, resign! "Vcri.
ly, consistency, thou art jewel"
In regard to Judge White. we believe he
left home for Washington city before the reso
lutions were adopted but whether he did o.
did not, we hope and trust that he will no
resign his seat until others who are opposed t.
him in politics. similarly situated, do likewise
They were first to get up the doctrine of IN
struction, when Gen Jackson came into Office
and should be made topFaetice it under Mar
tin man Buren,; and until they do, we hops
that no other wing viii ever resign his seat
or pay any attention to tho instructions of !
party 50 niggardly, base aid corrupt.

A democrat cannot be an abolitionist, be-
cause he is necessarily strict constructionist
-astate rights man, and does not believe that
congress has any power over the subject of
slavery as it exists in our country, and whatev-
er may be his speculative opinions upon the
subject, he does not consider it debateabIe
one before Congress, the constitution being an
insuperable barrier to its discussion; or TO any
actionu upon it by that body. We are aware,
we shall here be met with the objection to our
axiom that Mr.. Morris OF Ohio, and some
others, who have acted with the present adj
ministration are abolitionists. We answer
that, qltoad hoe so far as this question is con-
cerned, they are not democrats; in fact, we do
not consider them democrats in any sense ofthe
word, although they may give a general sup
port to democratic measures and ademocr2,,lc
ADMINISTRATION Democrat.
Well, it may be that democrat ca.,not b.
an aboltionist, Sut Iocofoco can. and as 70
any barrier the constitution may present to hin
its all uaoonshine; and he regards it about Al
much. when his interest or ambition prompts
HIM, as fire world stubble field in sprin,
time, or an hungry ass a bundle Of hay. An
it may also be that the abolitionists are no
democrats, and we never said they were. bu
we do say, even as this sapient editor admit.

The destruction of the currency by Mr.. Van
Buren, is producing beautiful effect on the
pockets and circumstances of the people by
laying the merchants to the land, and thereby
preventing that competition in supplies which
always make goods plenty and cheap, and en-
bances the price aid quickens the sale of what-
eyer the farmer may produce for market.
AS the price off commodity, either ofmer-
chandize or produce, is always regulated by
the quantity in market, as well as the demand
to be suppgied--which is always great or small
acco. ding to the supply there can be no mis-
take about this matter and the fact will soor
be seen as well as felt

ABOLITION AND DEMOCRACY.

ABOLIT1ON AND DEMOCRACY.
Last week we published an incontrouertible
article on the above subject, showing by posi-
tive evidence the union of the two, in the late
elections that have recently taken place at the
North,-which has gained for the Tories the
Governor, as it now turns out to be, of Massa-
chusetts, thirteen members ofassembly in New
York city, and sundry other public officers in
that and the adjoining sections. But notwith-
standing all this, thelast Democrat comes OIL
in a puerile and uumeaning article, without
point or proof to support it, to prove the fallacy
of our position. But his cob,ceb is too flimsey
in this instance, as in all others, to sustain him in
his remarks. The ligament that binds the
two, is too strong to be severed, in the view O
the people, by show of words. Like dead
body it clinks to them; and cannot be got rio
| of.

SOCIAL MILITARY PARADE.

The colbert Troop under Captain
Morse, paid visit to our city on Thursday
last, to unite with the "CoLUMBUs DRAGooNs"
under Capt Starke, and the "CoLUMBUs RI
FLEMEN," under Capt. Albert, in celebrating
the day with grand Military parade-it being
the day for target firing of Capt. Starke's
Company. The three companies formed about
II o'clock, in front of the Eagle Hotel, the
Rihemen taking the lead, from whence they
marched through the principal streets in fino
style, making most gallant display, to an adj
joining field, where the marksman ship of Capt.
Starke's Company was displayed in the pres
ence of the Military and number of citizens,
in firing for a splendid Sash, which was won
by Mr.. John J. Goodwin, he proving the best
shot. Af,er which the corps marched TO the
Eagle Hotel, and partook of a joyial repast
prepared for the occasion, with many appropri-
ate toasts, and disbanded in good time, parting
with their comrades, the Colbert Troop, with
regret and the most social feelings, and ardent
wishes for the future welfare of their patriotic
company. Long Will the visit of the Colbert
Troop be remembered and cherished by the
two companies of this place

THE TORIES AND ABoLITIoMsTs.-The
reason Gen. Root ran so far behind the Wing

was, that previous to the election he denoun-

tory-abolition candidate for Governor, and

The merchants are branch of the great
commercial system-so are the mechanics,
and learned professions, in one sense, with the
agricultural interests as the grand centre of
that system. To lop off either, is to take a
limb from the body; or to depress it is to MAIN
the same. To answer great eLd then, let
this mighty system move in perfect unison,
without a jar, even as the myriads of worlds
do around the sun in the natural universe.

Do you find prices as good, money as sound,
and demand as great as formerly! This is a
very important subject, and demands your
earliest and earnest attention. And if you dc
not, then enquire the cause--for there cannot
be an effect without one. And, when you have
once found out where it lies, lose no time in
seeking remedy-for there is one. Look to

another column that the notes discounted at
the Mississippi Union Bank for this district
have been transferred to the Branch at Ma

will be allowed by tie payment OF one fourth

This we think is liberal arrangement on the
part of the Bank, and will meet the general
appreciation of her debtors, who should en-
deavor to be punctual to this extent For the
institution has already done, and if let alone, by
violent prosecutors, win hereafter be, of great
service to the citizens of this State.
