The following beautiful and spirited apostr
phe to the South, was written by Alexander
Meek, Esq. of Tuscaloosa, Ala.
MY NATIVE HOME.
Land of the South !--imperial land!--
How proud thys uountains rise,-
How sweet thy scenes on every hand,--
How fair thy covering skies!
But not for this-oh, not for thee,
love thy fields to roam
Thou hast dearer spell to me,
Thou art my native home.
Thy rivers roll their liquid wealth,
Unequalled to the sea
Thy hills and valleys bloom with health,
And green with vcrdurc be,
But not for thy proud ocean streams,
Nor for thine azure dome
Sweet, sunny Soulful cling to thee
Thou art my native home.
I've stood beneath Italia's cline,
Beloved oftale and song,
On Helvyn's hills, proud and sublime,
Where Natures wonders throng;
BY Temples classic sunlit streams.
Where Gods, of old, did roam
But ne'cr have found 20 fair land
AS thou-my native home!
Anc thou hast prouder glories too
Than Nature ever gave
feace sheds DER thee, her genial dew,
And freedoms pinions wave
Fan science filings her pearls around.
Religion lifts her dome,
These, these endear thee to my heart
My own, loved native home.
ana "heaven's best gift to man" is thine
God bless thy rosy girls.-
Alke sylvan flowers, they sweetly shine
Their hearts are pure as pearls.
And grace and goodness circle them.
Where'er their footsteps roam.
How can then, whilst loving them,
Not love my native home.
Land OF the South imperial land.-
Then here's health to thee
Long as thy mountain barrier stand.
May'st thou be blessed and free.
May dark dissension's banner meier
Wave DER thy fertile loam-
ou. should 1t come, there's one will die.
10 save his native home!

rANY.-This enterprising company. afto
having met with many dish ppointn,onts, O.
lcasioned by the extraordinary pressure q
the times, Is at length organized, md ia
commenced issuing post nltes. We fee
well assured that the notes Of this institutio,
are as good as any bank paper in our State
and far better than most Of il. The ban)
rests upon sure real estate basis; and al
the convcyancing has been conducted by ,
gentleman of eminent legal attainmen,s
The issues will be quite limited, for the ore
sent, at least; and every thing will be con
Quoted hereafter, as it has hitherto been
with much caution and circumspection. The
GIfard Bank, at Philadelphia, fwhere the
bonds and mortgages Of the company are de.
posted will redeem the post notes Of the
mississippi Springs Rail Road Bank, to the
amount OF one hundred thousand dollars.
The president Of the company has satifac-
tory written obligation TO this effect, al, ex-
tract from which we believe has been pub-
iished IN some Of the newspapers. It is not
doubted but this arrangement with the Cir
ard Bank will at once give character to The
new issues, and ensure to the notes an acti. =
par circulation. The bank will prc,.nahlv
not issue more than che half of t,.,e : r,o,,n,
which the Girard Bank is kcund to redeem
at maturity, for twelve r.onths to come. A,
all events, we feel Sure that she will not 90
beyond the limits. We are informed more
over, that the new bank can, herself. re-
deem more than than the amount she will
issue, independently Of the s,ipulations Of
the Glrard bank. These facts induce us 10
nave entire confidence in the operations of
the company; and as an evidence of the
sincerity of our declarations. il will afford
US much pleasure TO receive these notes in
payment of any dues 10 The Sun Office.
The gentlemen associated in this enter
prise are men of the highest responsibility,
and are entirely solvent in their pecuniary
condition. 1t is no "catch-penny," swim

IN our state, under the mere semblance Of
lair dealing. We have been at the trouble

4 eve do not look upon man as in real;,,
under any obligations to bank who borrow,
money off t."-Mississippian.
/ Here is precious specimen of locofoce
morality, and locofoco honesty. The edito,
OF the Mississipp,an does not "look upon q
man as in reality under any obligations to a
bank who borrows money of it," Oh doubt.
less! and so no doubt the locofocs of New
York were perfectly right, and were setting
beautiful example oflaw, orper and honesty.
when they broke open Nathan Harris flour
store. We have always been of opinion that
when man borrowed money of bank. he
was at least under one obligation. that is to
pay It. He promises at the time he ge gets
the loan, to pay It at certain time, and if
he does not, he fails to comply with his obi.
cations. Now with all due Difference to the
superior intelligence Of the editor Of the MIS-
slssiPplan, We beg to ask wherein consists
the difference in the obligation of bank
and an individual? The individual when he
gets discount, promises to pay at a certain
date. The bank, when it issues notes and
bulls, promises likewise to pay at a given
time. 1t matters not whether that time is on
demand, ten minutes after the note is issued.
or twelve months after date, the moral obi
CATION to pay is the same, SO it is with the
individual; he makes a contract with an in
s''tut'on, IN which. for consideration re-
ceived, ha agrees to perform a stipulated
act, and he is bound morally and legally to
perform it. The times are getting sadly
out OF joint when the ssofficial organ of the |
state thus openly advocates doctrine SO
much at variance with common honesty and
morality. 1t comes, too, with peculiarly
III grace from one who has been for years
