REMARKS OF Mr.. WALL in the Senate
January 16, upon the motion to reject the
Bill presented by Mr. Boyd of Alfalfa, amend.
ing the charter of the Mississippi Union Bank
Mr. Wall said that he had not intended to
participate in the present dscussion,' but in
lasmuch as the ayes and noes have been
called for, consequently it developed upon him
to give his reasons why he should vote 10
reject.
In the first place, Mr.. President, deem it
unnecessary to 60 into the merits Of the Bill,
at this moments it would be a consumption
Iof time. | am fully satisfied that if the chair
had been called upon, it would have decided
the Bill out Of order. This point | will not
urge at the present time, but will only advert
to few facts which will throw some light
ION the subject. At the late session of this
Legislature, Joint select committee was rails
led, who reported to each house, that the fun
damental principles of that Bill, could not be
amended in the details, only by supplement
tai act. That report was received and agreed
TO, which was entered upon the journals of
the Senate. Well, sir, here is a bill present
ed IN the face Of lthat report, uprooting the
very foundation Of the original bill. Yet the
Senator from Atalla processes to be a stickler
for order, and is one OF the most tochinal
men in the Senate.
The Senator from Alfalfa asks that his Bill
should be printed, and says, us matter of
courtesy, should not object; was it not for
the effect that | am well aware it would have
upon the circulation Of the bills Of the Union
Bank-when | contrast the bearing which the
present Bill will have, if ever countenanced byI
the Senate, with extending little courtesy
to the Senator from Alfalfa, all personal, po-
litical and courteous feelings arc laid aside
by me. owe duty to my country and will
perform it, at all hazards. Mark me, Mr..
President, if this bill should be countenancei
by the Senate, the Union Bank will feel it
sensby abroad; yes sir, the citizens of our
State will feel the effects as soon as the news
reaches New Orleans. The post notes Of
the Bank will sink under par, SO soon as the
news reaches; and who suffers the people of
sir, who now hold the paper Of
the Bank.
| must insist even though it should be un-
to the Senator from AttaIa, that the
Union Bank be suffered to proceed under its
present charter, and give it fair and impair
al trial. And | call upon those who have
borne the burthen in the heat Of the day to be
more in unison and put this question at rest
And should it become necessary to scan some
If the provisions Of the Senator's amendment ,
hey will be found to be far more arduous than
my to be found in the original charter. c
The amendment was rejected by vote orIC
fifteen TO thirteen. {

The letters Of our Jackson Correspondents
have failed to reach us this week. In another
column will be found the results of the election
for u. S. Senator. That result is more glori-
Gus than we had any reason to expect, and
shows what the Wings of Mississippi can do
when united. The Whig Convention assem-
bed at Jackson on the fourth Monday of last
month. We understand that, Edward Turner,
at present Chancellor Of the State, was recon-
nended as suitable candidate for Governor
and A. L. Bngaman Of Adams and Reuben Da-
'is OF Monroe, for Congress. We are not GER
ain that the general political principles of
heSe men are such as we can fully advocate /;
1ut there is O crisis in the affairs of our coun.
ry at present which demands Of wings and
patriots unity Of action. Unless the parry in
9ower is checked in its course of extravaganza
md corruption the Liberties of the country
annot long endure. The grand object Of the
,atrot is, to retrieve the character Of the coun-
ry, and bring back the government to honesty
nd economy. Under these circumstances, i'll
5 the duty Of every Wing to unite on the can
ldates who will oppose the present corrupt dy-
asty. Honesty and capabiity are the most
important qualifications Of Wing candidate
nder existing circumstances; and to such we
ope the wings will give their cordial and un-
ivided support in November next.

REMARKS OF Mr.. WALL OF ANTE, lin the Sc
nate, Jan 10th, upon the bill to increase the
salary Of the Auditor of public accounts, from
two thousand TO three thousand dollars,
Mr. WALL commenced by saying he should
sustain the motion of the Senator from Warren
to reject or postpone indefinitely The bill. Suf.
fer it to pass (said Mr.. Wall,) and it becomes
the entering wedge, to an extravagant, and use
ess expenditure Of the public money. The
Governors message tells us, MrAPresdent
and | quote that as high authority, that the
disbursements, already far exceed the receipts
Iof Che treasury. With these facts before our
eyes, will we plunge the State into further
state of bankruptcy; when the watchword oil
each friend OF the State should be reform and
Irerenchment. will invariably oppose any
increase Of any salary during the continuance
ot an empty treasury, unless there should be
some stronger reasons advanced than | have
heard any Senator give for the present increase.
| see no good reason for increasing the saIa-
ry of that officer, while the Office can be as
well filled as It Is at present. ! have heard
no complaint of the incumbent, and we have
ample evidence to satisfy my mind, Mr.. Pre-
sdent, that the salary is sufficient, and will
offer in evidence the act of lhe auditor hi m
