poet Dryden,
"a man so various that he seemed to be
Not one hut all mankind's epitome,
And in the course of one revolving moon,
He's idler chymist and buffoon."
General Harrison has doubtless read, that it is
christian virtue to be- "al things TO all men,
in certain sense. He thinks that this is also
virtue in politics. Hence his efforts to please
all parties Hence his expression Of opinions
perfectly contrary to each other, to suit tho
heterogeneous multitude which compose his
party.

An important evenI has just past
US, aud the people of Mississippi like those of
the Union have CALAMITY rendered that SER

the occasion so much demanded Of every citi-

Is over-the long agony gone, and WILLIAM
HENRY HARRISON of Ohio, has been
elected President. But shall the lovers of lib

of our Republic stop here! No, another duty
hangs over them which must be performed:
We have the PRESIDENT tits true, but what
can a Wing President do, without a Wing
Congress to carry his views of retrenchment
into operation! Comparatively nothing. Their
let the Wings of Mississippi be on the alert
let them continue to perform that good ser
vice which will ensure to them and the coun
try, more healthy brighter prospect.
To secure this state of things, ihe Wing
of the Union should send members to Con
gress who have principles in unison with thei
own, and what State is more ready, aye, NOR
willing to do this than our own State MlssiS
sippi: her citizens have on their armor an
are unwilling to lay it offuntil a thorough re
formation of the abused authorities OF our COY

regard should be had for the opinions of I'll
people in the selection of candidates to fill tt
various offices which they will be called on

nication, but simply to recommend, and al
you, and other Wing Editors in the State
