Ill EhounEOC OF COhhOf ININ-
No country. civilized or savage, that bis.
tory or tradition has handed down 10 us,
ever presented so hideous stale of public,
morals, as does Mississippi at the present
time. The total disregard, the indiffer-
ence, the seeming insrnsibility to every
moral principle, which marks the conduct
of a large portion Of the people, the officers
of the law, and above all, those who have
undertaken to make our money, is foul
stain on human nature. Centuries to come,
il will be pointed 10, as the Zahara in the
world of civilization. We do moi refer
particularly TO the assassinations and muir,
ders, aud other violent ou,rages on the per:
sons of individuals, which have disgraced
the State for many years. The assassin
aud the bravo. black and damned as they
are. will stand as angels of light when
compared with The sly and mooh.spoken
thief, who stands al a bank desk with q
pen behind his ear, and robs thousands of
The fruits of their labor. In connexion
with these infamous 81. indlers, we not uu-
frequently find The ermine of justice, The
sheriff who has sworn to execute The laws
and other public functionaries, united in
one common purpose of plunder. Wha,
is to be the result? What is TO be done?
Is there to be no end to the ravages' of This
moral simoom! Have the great mass of
the people NOT intelligence and virtue e.
noueh 10 see that interest and duty and
humanity iIselfcall loudly upon them to as
sert the dignity of their race,'o rise in their
majesty, and nut an end 10 the scenes
which disgrace our country and our kind!
The great mass ofthe people Of Missis-
sippi, we may say five-sixths. are as intel.
igent aud as honest as any on the globe;
but such are their engagements and pur-
suits, that they have had no time to devote
to public affairs. The consequence is.
thai the speculaor and swindIer have been
permitted to manage the business of the
country,,o monopolize the offices Of trust,
10 make the laws, and 10 plumber the in
dustrious for years past,willl the most per
