The Mississippisn IS busy h vain at
empts ii excnsing the suicida! policy of our
Loco Foco Governor towards this Institu-
lion. II seems to admit that it is oxpedient1
and necessary for the Bank 70 make thc
issue Of Post Notes authorized by the Sem
ate and House Of Representatives; bat
seeks to justify the Governors disgacefal
and destructive veto, en- the ground thnt the
Bank is authorized, at all events, to make
such an issue, and that no Legislative ac-
ton was necessary in the premises. THIS
may be technically true, but practically, it
is shamefully falsc--a contemplate and un-
worthy subterfhge. -
Had the action Of the peoples representa-
tves not been frustrated by the hloated inn
portance, and meddlesome, mischief making
Of the Executive, the people
might have had more to hope from the State
Bank of their own creation-willing. and in
that case, able, to afford them relief in the
time either greatest need. The issues Of
the Bank might have been extended with
greater safety to itself, and its notes would
have had greater currency and higher
character than can now be hoped for, while
the whole power Of the State Government
is directed against the institution, and the
interests Of its stockholders and the people.
There is, however, one consolation. The
people will soon have an opportunity of rid
ding themselves of the bloated driveller who
is now at the head of our State affairs
sitting like nightmare upon her bosom,
and crushing, with an iron heel, her best
hopes, and blighting her fairest prospects.
If he meets not his deserts, at the coming
election, the people deserve to be oppressed
THE FANATICS abolitionists of New
are raising by subscription 100000, to es-
tablish and support daily paper to adso-
cate their nefarious doctrines. Better give
the money to the starving poor around their
own doors.
With all due Difference, we inform the
editor of the Fayette Advertiser that nc
|ssopprobrious epitnets," touching him or his
paper, have been sent TO him, by ourselves,
or by others, with our "knowledge and con.
sent" He has received no notice from us
excepting complimentary one on the FIRST
appearance Of his paper. He will hardly
shake us-for, where we were raised, i
was an established law that when mar
was to be thrashed, he had the privilege o
being personally present.
We have received from Miss. aSeraphina A
Dubs,'' of Port Gibson, the following parody
with polite request that we publish it in tn,
Telegraph. Our gallantry will not permit US t
deny the fair seraphina so reasonable request
We presume, however, that the illusions win b
better understood in the latitude Of Port Gibson
than here:
THE CALITHUMPIAN BAND.
At nine O'Clock all things were still
No sound was heard on gospel hill
No soul was ont, save negro Phill,
| And he was homeward bound.
But the hill saw another sight
Which woke the girls in dread alright,
| When at the hour of deep midnight
| The Calithumpians gather'd round
And by the boarding -school arrayed,
Tin buckets rang, tin trumpets prayed,
And pot-lids clashed, and cow-bclls made
The tallest kind of noise!
i Then shook the walls, with discord riven,
/ Then screamed the girls, from slumber driver
And Mr.. S. said he'd have given
Four bits to catch the boys.
But bark! they leave us-passing down,
| They wake up every soul in town, ~
/ Each barking cur-dog's voice they drown,
And stun each listening ear!
All! many wake, and few can sleep,
And startling eyes dim yigiis keep; &
Hair stands on end, and flesh doth creep
!, With solamn midnight fear.
Wake, husband dearest husband, wake!
II "A lady cried with many shake;
j Get up, got up, for heavens sake
! never heard such sounds!
4 Said he, Ican't tell what's the matter
: They make most Internal clatter-
i Thrust be Old Nick, on a batter,
II Or something else, BY POUNDS!
