dim the lustre of the one, or tarnish the
fair fame of the other
Resolved That the gallant defence of
Fort Meigs against the combined forces Of
the British and Indians, which event we
have convened TO celebrate, is among the
most brilliant efforts of our arms during
the last war with England.
Resolved, That we have abundant cause
for the most iervent gratitude to an over
ruling Providence, as well for raising up
an able and gallant commander, in the
person of our beloved Harrison, TO restore
to our armies the reputation lost by the
disgraceiul surrender of Hull, and to res
cue from the enemy the fair country lost
by that surrender, as for preserving the
life, the health and the strength Of the
Hero to Join with thousands of his fellow
countrymen, in celebrating one of his most
brilliant achievements on the spot where
it occurred, and as we hope and trust, TO
be the instrument of rescuing our revered
political institutions from the hands of do
mestic spoilers.
Resolved, That the same increasing ex-
ertlons-the same disinterested devotion
to the public good, which have been SO
conspicuous throughout the life of the dis
tlnguished Hero of Tippecanoe, of the
Thames and of Fort Meigs-are now due
from every true friend of his country, in
order to regain our lost prosperity, and to
restore our glorious institutions TO their
primitive purity.
Resolved, That what we thus acknowl-
edge to be Justly due shall be honestly
paid.

JACKSON, THURSDAY EvGSlSe, !
Feb'y. 6, lS40.

The great md absorbing question that has ugI
nted the Legislature since us sesson--the tight
Of that body TO repeal Bank chatets--was this
day decided by tho House Of Representatives..
The Bill which grew out of the Resolutions in
toduccd by General SpeighI came up for it's
third reading, and passed by vote Of 81 10 80
strict party vote with one or two exceptions
which have marked lnltaIics. forwarded the
bill ~ engrossed some days ago but since then
it has undergone some very important changes
Ii provides that there shall be gradual resump.
ton of specie payments by the banks, beginning
| on the FIRST Of April aud extending 10 the first OF
January 1870. 1t aIso places the Union Bank
on footing with all other banks of the State In
addition 10 this, It provides that the notes Of the
bunk shall he taken IN payment Of their bills re-
celvabie watcher transferred before or subsequent
to The passage Of the act. And the same proyi-
son is made to extend To unauthorized Banking
Companics--so look ou Real Estate,
This biz has gwen rise TO tho most interesting
debate that has ever takou place IN the LegsIa-
tuc Of Mississippi This might well be expect
cd, as It is the frs, time in tho Legislative halls of
our bank hidden State, that the grave question
has been raised, " shall ours be government Of
the banks or OF the people Shall the creatures
Of the people be superior to their creators shall
honest people who are Rmenabc 10 all the pains
and penalties Of laws whenever they transcend
hmits-wheIher through ignorance or neglect Of
dnty-haye their Just rights suspended, whilst n
horde OF swindlers, under the shield Of Bank char
tiers, are allowed to rob aud plumber them with Inn
punity. " am proud TO say that none ~ that ho-
dy who acknowledge the republican doctrines a.
taught and procised by Jefferson, jackson and
| Van Buren,. or who appreciates the emphatic Ian
guuge q or State Constitution, " that no man
or set OF iuen are entitled TO exclusive separate
public emoiuments, OF privileges, from the com
munity, bat 10 consideration OF public services,
was found to advocate the Wing doctrine. +" lhal
the Legislature has no right TO repeal Bank char
ters, no matter how gross violation thereof they
may be guilty.
The Democratic party have laid down the JEFF
lersonlun doctrine that Bank charters are not prl-
yate corporations but public institutions, and as
such are ri all times under Legislative control
and that one Legislature has no right to bind by
is acts a subsequent one On the other hand
the Wings, alias the Bank party, contend that
Banks are private corporations, partaking Of the
nature Of a contract between the Legislature and
tho Banks, under which individual rights arc vest.

Dear Sir-You viii allow me to give a syuop-
Of debate which occurred to-day, between
two members (rom your county, the reporter Of
the Democrat beng ou Of the House at the
time. The bhl came up COT the reduction Of the
fees of officers IN the different counties. Mr.
Evans moved to except the county Of Lowudes
from the provisions OF TIE bill. Gen. Speighi
did not wish Lowndes eXcepted-he thought the
fees were 100 high, and that most Of the officers
were making prncely fortunes out Of the misror-
tunes Of poor but in many cases. honest debtors.
If the gentleman would take The responsibility,
be should feel at least that be had discharged his
duty
Mr. Evans hoped, that Lowndes would be ex-
eePted his colleague was mistaken if be sup.
posed tha, the officer were making prnceIy for.
tunes. Instead Of costs amounting 10 thirty dol.
lars, in each case, they did not amount to more
than fourteen. lie was willing to meet the peo-
pie on that question, as well as bis colleague he
should not try 70 tickle the caprice Of the raJbie ;
be should consult the substantial Interests Of the
officers; his constituents wished good officers, and
were wiling to allow them liberal remuneration
he thought the fact Of The late sheriff Of Lowndes
county having died embarrassed, tcas some cyl.
dence that the officers were not making fortunes.
Mr. 5. would ask if the gentlemen intended to
say, that hIr Byrn died embarrassed.
Ar L. SAID it was the common impression
Mr. $. believed that Col Byrn'a embanass
ment, # such was the fact, was brought on by
endorsement, and not from any want Of compen.
sation by way of fees be was wiling that his
colleague should press hls exception, he, howe.
yer, should oppose il.
This Is but an evidence Of the graspiug dispo
ton Of those who egislate for a par of the com.
munity, and have no interests in common with
the planter, mechanic, SC.

Well The Legislature have adjourned until to.
morrow and take Up my pen to attempt to give
you some ideas oFUhat is going on here. Every
question excltes storm-the Speght resolutions
ralseda tempest Spcight has imnlor;alized him
self by these very resolutions. His arguments
were powerful and eghty- Hemingway of
Carroll made an able speech on the same subject.
and many other members Of the Democratic
party distinguished themselves by lhen pow
eral arguments on the bank question. The
gallon law question introduced by Nj Graves Of
Choctaw, elected great many speeches. Mr.
Elliott OF OkUbbeeha, and Mr. Greer of Mon
roe, made able speeches against the repeal Mr.
Graves of Chociaw spoke in defence of the bill
for upwards Of an hour, IN the most happy strain
he showed plainly the unequal operation Of the
law, but dung his speech, he SAID some things
which made the ladies' faces lttle wry. A
good many other speeches were made pro and
con.
The Judiciary bill altering the whole Judiciary
system, has passed the House.
The anll-post note bill has become law.
The bill granting amnesty u Grant, wont pass
the Senate.
There was good deal of warm discussion in
the House few days ago on the fee bill, intro
duced by Mr. Graves Of Chorlaw. Gen Sleight
was IN favor ofledGcton, Evans was opposed 10
it. There was some Spafung between The gentle.
men, but Spelgh as usual bore of the laurels. The
bank bill passed the House, by vote of so to
33. A good many amendments wele made to
the bill, as introduced by the committee on cur.
rencies. Mr.. Graves Of Choetaw, was in favor
bringing The Union Bank under the operations OF
the law, he was opposed 10 crouchiug to the hon,
and crushing the lamb, Mr.. Graves is a firm
Democrat, and has done himself grea, honor dur-
ing the presnt session. But the motion id not
prevail
The Wing members spread protest on the
Journals few days ago on The bank question, il
is the most insulting document you ever saw.
