& may, they met % strangers, and the SEN
sior isom 8, Carolina was formally int:odu-
ced a. stranger to M. Van Buren,, Presi-
dent Of the q. 6tates!
Il = understood now, that Mr.. Calhoun
has given in his adhesion to the President,
and that he will both laud and follow in sup
port Of his favoritc schemes. What he ex-
poets for such an adhesion and for such q
service, you can Judge as well as any Of us.
Mr.. Calhoun's opponents are not the only
men who think him sectional in his opinions,
selfish in his views, and ambitious TO be
President Of the United States.-1lt this
he cannot lie, for there is another heir to
the fhrone who comes before him, with the
prior claim Of a longer and better service !.
mean Thomas n. Benton, who is play
ing the demagogue to perfection--bowing
lower than he was wont to do-gra sping
your hand more affsctionately than was his
custom, and exceedingly happy to see you
at his house and at dinner. Mr.. Benton
comes here known as the designed candi-
date of his party, after MIR. Van Buren, shall
have served through another four years.
Mr.. Benton and Mr.. Calhoun are, therefore,
rivals, and SO jealous Of each other, that
they may prove dangerous allies Of the Elk
ecutive and troublesome to TIE great loco
foco party of the Union. Mr.. Calhoun has
twice the mind Of the Missouri Senator, but
Mr.. Benton has mind enough to outwit him;
rare capacity for decrying well the char.
acter Of the demagogue. The session win,
as it progresses, make some important de-
velopments in regard TO the fanatical feel
ings and prospects of the Executive, and his
southern and south-western body-guard.

The house Of representatives. transacted
no public business today. Immediately If
ter the journal was read, Mr.. Calhoun Of
Mass. rose, and announced the decease sc
his colleague Mr. AIvord, who had been
regularly elected representative from the
Greenfield district, but died during the recess.
Mr. Calhoun expressed high and meri,ed
eulogium on the character and attachments
Of the deceased; and NOV ed the CUSTOMARY
resolutions for going into mourning.
Mr.. Duncan, Of Ohio, offered a PROPOSE
zion for committing the testimony in the New
Jersey contested election case to the com.
mitteo on elections; but at tbs suggestion Of
Mr.. Calhoun that il was m immemoriaI us
age for the house to adjourn, after an an.
nouncement Of the melancholy nature he
had made. Mr.. Duncan Withdrew his prop

MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE.
Correspondence Of the psek.su.y Wig.

Correspondence Of the Tieksbsag Wing.
JACKSON. Monday, Jan. H.
In the Senate to day we have had nothing
of much interest or Importance Divers
bills of local or minor character were in.
troduced.
Mr.. Miller, Of Kinds, offered a resolution
proposing to discharge The committee on the
Union Bank from the further consideration
of so much of the joint resolution requiring
an Investigation into the affairs Of that ior
stitution as authorizes them to publish the
names and amounts of its debtors propidcd
all Liabilities exceeding dollars shall
be published. The blank was proposed TO
be filled up by inserting $4,000, then one
thousand, and finally $3.50. All of these
motions were rejected, and after some dis
cussion on the subject, the resolution was
finally laid on the table BY decisive ma
jority. The examination Of the committee
will doubtless show that many persons who
have been SO loud mouihed in their denun-
Citations against the Union Bank, are not as
Caesar would have had his wife, and hence
this motion to prevent the publication of the
names and al cunts Of all persons indebted
to that institution The Senate very prop
erly decided that no distinction should be
made In this matter, and now we shall see
the names Of all persons indebted, together
with the amount of their respective liabili-
distinction proposed by Mr.. Miller, and as
it is no crime to owe a bank, the small debt.
ors should not be entitled to any privileges
not given to the larger ones.
Mr.. Green's bill to abolish the criminal
court, passed the Senate this morning, one.
Senate, only voting in the negative. twill
no doubt pass the House by large maiori-
ty. The bill to repeal the "gallow law''
came up to-day, on its second reading, and
was indefinitely postponed. A repeal Of
this law meets with no favor here in either
branch Of the Legislature, althoughthere can
be no question of the fact that some modifi-
cation of It is generally called for.
In the House to-day, while in committee
Of the whole Ne had I very spirited discuss
ion between Mr.. s4peekess Speiehev snd Mr..
Dobyne, of Jefferson, in which the power Of
the Legislature to repeal bank charters was
discussed at some length. The Speaker
won no 1aurels. His pronunciation aud
