MURDER.-A most attTocious murder
was perpetrated in this place, on Thurs
nay last, by James Pigg upon William j.

TO THE PEOPLE or THE STATE OF
MISSISsIPPI:


| present myself as candidate for
State Treasurer, to fill the vacancy &C.
easioned by the death of Mr.. Williams.
1t is common with candidates for pub
Tic favor, to submit to the people an ex-
position of the political principles. The
duties of State Treasurer are plainly
prescribed by law, and a faithful com
Pliance with the law is all that is requir-
ed Of him: therefore cannot see the
reason that his political principles should
be the test of his qualification for this
office.
1t then only remains for me to pledge
myself, if elected. to devote my ener-
gies and abilities TO the Accomplishment
OF the end contemplated by the legislator
- faithful compliance with the law.

A writer in one of the periodicals, in
a moment of pleasant ecstacy, observes
that 9 the world is all sunshine We
wish him Joy of his discovery: long may
he live to think SO! But he has made n
grand mistake; or else he is very young
experience has given him mo lessons; the
unkindness Of man has awakened no
well-springs of bitter thoughts, forever
beating aud revolving in his heart, and
never to be sweetened, while memory
has dominion; no sad regrets from past
existence.
(which, like gales Of chilling breath,
Sweep US to the onward distance,
And the Land OF Death.
In short, he must be a green one; a
novice in the world, with its darkest les
sons yet to learn, its gloomier, Rem
brandt-colorings, vet to see.
Bat, as we said before, long may he
live in his present mind! If he is just
now entering his majority, and should
hold that mind ten years hence, let him
engage at once as "wonderful curiosi-
ty," in some museum. He could not fail
to ''draw" like locomotive engine

PHILADELPHIA, March 5.

Much excitement and confusion pre-
vailed Yesterday in the mercantile com
munity, arising from the refusal of the
Girard and United States Bank TO make
any other payment of checks or notes
payable at those institutions than By
marking them "good." This was fol-
lowed by a refusal of such endorsements
for payments at, or deposite in, most Of
the other banks; some Of these marked
all check on them, others neither mark
ed nor received any, making all their
transactions in notes.
We learn that the two Banks which
have supplied nearly all the circulating
medium since the suspension, state their
unwiilingness to continue their course,
alledging that each-bank shall supply its
own quota Tha er Banks decline
paying out their until these two
institutions can - their indie bted-
ness to them, as this course would IN
crease the debt beyond the extent they
would feel themselves justified in trust
ing any institution, but alIedge that as
soon as the debtor banks can mend their
position, they viii find other than their
own notes in circulation.
W Z ISifdli IL present from dIy COt!l-
ment, other than that there is wrong
somewhere, and the community Will not
for any length of time patiently endure
a continuance of this state of things.
Since writing the above, we learn that
at the meeting of the Delegates of the
different Banks last evening, no definite
course of action was agreed upon-N.

Too many persons, in all the relations of
life, look upon wealth as the only true
standard of merit, and will pass by the cot
tase of the intelligent and virtuous to asso
clate with the ignorant nabob in his castle
reared npon fraud and oppression. Their
standard may suis their present condition.
But, if it does not prove their own ruin, it
surely will that of their childreif. Their
riches may fly with the wind, in moment,
and then, where is their merit! Flown al
SO, leaving them neglected by their old as
sociates and despised by those whom they
before Stunned, merely because they were
poor. Let those, then, who wish true

are true, is only passport to hell! Who

MAJESTY OF LAW.

The following beautiful eulogy on sthe
law is extracted from an article in the
Southern Literary Messenger -
:" The spirit of the law is all equity and
justice. In government based on true
principles, the law is the sole sovereign of
nation. 1t watches over its subjects in
their business, in their recreation and in
their sleep. 1t guards their fortunes, their
lives, and their honors In the broad noon
day and dark midnight, it ministers to their
security. 1t watches over the ship of the
merchant, thougha thousand leagues in
tervene: over the seed of the husbandman,
abandoned for season to the earth: over
the studies of students, the labors of the me-
chanc, the opinions of every man. None
are high enough to offend with impunty-
none so low that it scorns to protect them.
1t is throned with the king, and sits in the
seat of the republican magistrate, but it
also hovers over the couch Of the lowly and
stands sentinel at the prison, scrupulously
preserving to the felon whatever rights he
has not forfeited. The light of The law H.
Eliminates the palace and the hovel, and sur
rounds the cradle and the bier. The strength
ofthe law laughs wickedness to scorn, and
spurns the lntrenchments Of lniquity The
power of the law crushes the power of man,
and strips wealth ofunrignteous immunity.
1t is the thread OF DundaIus, 10 guide us
through the labyrinth of cunning. 1t is the
spear Of 1tlluriel, to detect falsehood and
deceit. 1t is the faith of the martyr TO shield
us from the fires of persecution; it is the
good mans reliance the wicked ones's
dread the bulwark Of piety; the upholdeI
ofmorality, the guardian of right; tine dis
tributer ofjustice. Its power is irresistible;
its dominion indisputable. Ii is above and
around us; within US, we cannot fly from
Its protection, we cannot avert its ven
geance.
"Such is the law in its essence !; such il
should be il none aspred to lis administra'
tion, but those with pure hearts, elevated
views, and cultivated minds.

ANRtDorE.-A husband was continually
finding fault with his wife for the want Of
neatness-that his house was not always
kept like mirrors. This was one day very
warmly expressed, and comparisons were
instituted between her management and
that ofa neighboring quakeress, whom the
husband had seen on that day. The wife
promised compliance with his wishes; and
on the husbands leaving the house, she
put every thing into the most exact and
neat order; not an odious particle of dust
being suffered to appear. The husband re-
turned rather later than usual with friend
whom he had invited to dine with him. To
his surprise he found the front door of his
house iocked--he knocked loudly, and with
great vehemence demanded immediate ad
mittance, when an upper window was rals-
ed, and out popped the head of his beloved
spouse. "Thee cannot come in at the
front door-thee must go round by the gate
