The battle in this State has also been fought
upon the right of the Legislature to repeal
charters of Incorporation. This issue, also,
was every where presented, and the mem-
bers of the legislature come pledged to an
exercise of the power. We say they come
pledged TO destroy the rotten banks, and the
people will hold them to an awful reckoning
as to tho manner in which this power shall
be exercised. They come pledged torepeal
the fraudulent and rotten banks; but to sus-
tain the good and the worthy, if any such
there -MississippiGn.
Well, how is the Legislature to ascertain
which are ''the good and the worthy" From
the commissioners Ifthey report bank
in the state ''good and worthy" they will
violate every declaration which has been
made this year past for the Mississippian and
by every Van Buren, candidate during the
late canvass. Every bank in the state, az
cording to the Missssippian and according
to every Van Eusen candidate islf fraudulent
and rotten" Ii ''they come pledged to des-
troy all. But the issue which you presented
to the people previous to the election was
not so vague and indefinite as the MISSISSIPPI

ten thousand times repeated by every Sub
Treasury press and by every Sub-Treasury
candidate was this. ia bank has forfeited
its charter the Legislature is bound to repeal
it. To issue Post Notes or to refuse to pay
specie for us notes is UioEGtion. And the
Legislature is The Judge Of the land and the
fact. That sir was a settled and distinct is
sue insisted upon By the whole Sub-Treasu-
ry party. We are as much opposed to the
present system of banking in this state, asI
you are, and much more SO for we opposed
it from the beginning. And this is and wasl
the position oil the wing party. But we wish
to see you stand up to your own principles |
The party chose them for its own and we
dislike to see you backing out so soon.

The Mississippian in speaking of Il

Inc MlSSlSslpplan III speaking OF the
banks and the next Legislature says.
'Another plan of operations has been
openly avowed by some bank directors, that
they were entirely fearless of the pledges of
the members to the people They assert that
one or two banks will commence a system of
loans to the members as they get there, which
bank directors say will be quite sufficient to
steep in oblivion all their pledges, and
give to the banks licensed commission of
continued plumber"
Now sir, if you are an independent and
faithful conductor of public journal you
will give names of those ''bank directors" to
the public. You owe it to the community,
and you cannot keep silence without in
some degree partaking Of high offence of
which they are guilty. Give us their names
and we will publish them-quicker.

WATERING CATTLE IN Observation-Disclosures it
would excite the surprise of many Of our read
ers, should we assert that cattle generally suffer
more from thirst in winter than during the heat
of summer.-Yet there is strong reason TO he
leve that is to great extent the case. Cattle
whose winter food consists entirely Of hay,
straw and other dry materials, need plentiful
and frequent supply of pure fresh water. This
many do not obtain,as nearly all running streams
are covered with ice, cattle obliged to

of dogs or to be gored by other cattle, and rath-

Webster in England.

Our towering countryman Is now at the worlds
capital and centre, free there alike from the as
saults and batteries of base party, and free from
ITS operations in his own lofty spirit. He can act
himself to some extent in London, and thew can
give him grand occasion. They have not seen a
bigger man there since the Norman conquest. to
60 back no farther. He has given them one
sllghtaste ofhis oratory, at the agricultural dinner
where 5000 farmers of England sat down together
in the old hall of Oxford. Exter Hall, however
is the place for him to speak, or would be, if he
were only an abolitionist. 1.-The had only the soul
of liberty in him, there would be the place for him
to eclipse even Brougham, Thompson and o Con-
nell,-for we feel that in. strength and majesty Of
speech, our great orator could gobeyond them all
But this he lacks. Politics has laid her parayz-
ing hands upon his heart. He
" Born for the Universe-narowed his mind,
And to party gave up, what meant for mankind
Webster is not narrow partzan. Far from it.
But ne is statesman and patriot, and that mar
rows down his eagle spirit to politics and to coun-
try. He cannot say with Garrison, "my coun-
Try is the world, my countrymen are all mankind
Webster can speak gloriously on any other sub
Juct but emancipation. On that which is now
the paramount theme among the nations, he is
doomed to utter silence. He has had mighty oc-
casions, but let them slip. Once in FaneuiI Hall
when old Mr.. Harrison Otis tore down the flag oil
humanity where it hung floating abroad over lib
ei'yscaradle, Webster might have rushed in there
men like the Black Knight at the passage of Arms
at ASn6y' and restored it to its place. Blu: he
was either false on the question, or mistool the
magnitude OF the occasion, Again, when Cal.
houn insulted the world and liberty by his tyrant
resolutions IN that prostitued Senate hail. Then
Webster should have spoken out for emancipation.
bhit ne thought the time had not come or that the
negro was not man. Mistaken statesman 1t
was the tide time of his history, and he should have
taken It then "at the food would have "led" him
ION to" glory and immortality, if not to fortune. F"
He temporized and was silent. Again he should
have burst forth, for Indignation, if nothing high

Our contemporary observes very justly, that
there is nothing of these quantities that would in
dictate the progress ola great social change affect
ing the relative condition of employers and labor
ers." On the contrary from all that appears here,
it might be supposed that the negroes were still
apprentices, or even slaves But most especially
it is to be observed that, in the funny island of
Jamaica, the cultivators of which seem to 60 by
the rule of contrary, and to below out their COM
plants just in proportion to their good fortune,
the sugar exported in 1888, exceeds, by nearly
10000 cwt the export of 1897! What vol

free labor, and the character of the emancipated

err, when Preston threatened to assasinate the old
right of speech before the Senate and the country
both of whom svmpathize in the threat which made
il meet that Webster should notice 1t on the spot
but which probably forbade HIM TO speak. NOW
another occasion offers What the world would
reckon an occasion, and perhaps, for politician
il ;s one. He never can be an abolitionist. But
he may yet, honorabIy perhaps with the world
take sides, at this late day and in England, with
universal emancipation. He is in an anti-savery
countrv-away from the spurious republic among
Englishmen. He breathes the atmosphere that
surrounds O'Connell and Thompson, and that Vi
bra,es with their agiations for liberty. He is in
the negborhood of Brougham and Exter Hall.
He is horS dat combat in the presidentan arena
here and may sec expedency in starting anew in
view ofthe future political strength of anti-save-
ny among his countrymen. How far ahead that
may lie before it shall take controlling hold OF
the land, in his ken, we cannot con lecture, though
he once remarked, we were told, that the elections
of the country would one day and shortly be de-
termined by it. If the Presidency were in the
gift ofanti-slavery, & approval with the property
and standing" Of the country were in its gift also,
Qor Webster would not intrigue for office merely,
like Van Buren, or Clay) it would tempt him to
spread his sail to our breezes, and bravey would
he have sailed before them, for he was born and
and bred freeman, and the speech of antslave-
ry would nightly have become his tongue.
Now, at any rate, is his occasion, If eoer, now in
England where the assembled world would hear
him. Oh, that he were so circumStanced that. he
could speak for hberty' How it would enaame
O'Connell, to hear him and the terrible Brough-
am, how he would labor to surpass himself to re-
tain his supremacy inthe eyes of Europe, which
would be shaken, were Webster 10 speak there, in
his illirnitable strength And the gallant and gor
geous young Thompson, he would blaze with en-
kindled glory, till the stately American, who hne1c
him not here should darken with shame at
his country's nfamy and deeply reproach him
SELF tat he had not recognised, defended and hon
ored the perlous young stranger in his own land.
But it may not be. Webster is statesman. He
never can tread the platform of philanthropy. 1t
is unbecoming statesman to feel and have sym
pothy. He is too wise and grave to experience er-
element, unless perhaps the sublime excitement
of politics Agitation is beneath him, all but ag-
taton of contested election, of the game for pow
