alienation and distrust which IS daily
granting ground between the North and
South, as one of the effects ofabolition-
ism.
But let us go back little. The very
exorbitant advances on the prices char
ged other people, the very liberal and
numerous perquisites which you have
applied very graciously to your own
express benefit and behoof, you have
never given US satisfaction for. These
perquisiteS remind US of an article which
we saw few days since in the Vicks-
burg Sentinel, wherein u correspondent
of that paper endeavored to expose a sys-
tenn Of swindling which has been scar
ried on" TO some extent in New Orleans
between the merchant and the jobber,
about the existence Of which there is no
doubt. Upon a little examination it will
be discovered the MississipPian has been
very Z" extensively" swindled. Suppose
a citizen of Mississippi, either merchant
or planter, ships to New Orleans loi
of cotton, with it he sends an order 10 his
commission merchant there for lot o.
groceries for instance. This commits
sion merchant of his takes the order to
his favorite grocer, which he fills on a
credit to the commission merchant OF
three, four, or may be six months. My
commission merchant upon this transac-
ton charges the Mississippian a small
commission for buying, q per cent. for
advancing the money and interest on the
same, whereby he makes or 3 per
without expanding dollar and with the
Mississippian'S cotton in possession. This
transaction we should not have related
(there being as we suppose enough and
sufficiently abusive and unscrupulOus
exposers ofsuch business already in ex,
istence) had it not been 10 compare II
with the frauds which have been practi
sed on the Mississippi merchants by those
of New York where the same system has
been practised, leaving out the presence
of the cotton, though with equal crimi
nality and meanness. We will close the
present article by giving our opinion thai
it is necessary for MississiPPians TO at.
tend to their own individual inierest-tc
look to their home affairs, take care Of
themselves, her Northern brethren viii
place no guards 10 defend her.

OURSELYES,

The object Of the establishment Of the
Creole was and still is expressed, in our
prospectus. We thought when that doc
ument was issued that an effort TO attain
the objects there specified, or at least a
portion Of them would procure for US a
liberal support; Unexpectedly, we have
been disappointed. Our patronage is
sufficient to continue the publication Of
the paper, which, since its commence
ment we have had no idea Of relinquish-
ing. But many persons persist in with
holding their support, who we never
should have thought so illiberal and sell
fish, and so devoid as we choose to deem
it, of public spirit. Do not consider US as
complaining at all gentlemen, we only
want to show your real position, which
some few do not appear TO be aware of.
There appears to be morbid appetite
for reading without one thought of his
welfare who is to cater for this amuse-
ment. A doubt has existed with some a.
bout the continuance of the publication,
and on account of it, they have refused to
become other than reading patrons
without fora moment supposing, or know
ing as they might have done that this
very article support was necessary to our
success. The inability, or rather refu-
sal of Madison county to support paper
is assuredly not creditable to her people,
and for which they shall not suffer. The
Creole will continue to be published
whether fresh support is offered or not.
For the very friendly and truly iaudable
anxiety OF numbers Of our citizens for
our success we feel truly obliged, but
this is no paliation for the delinquency OF
those who live and fatten and thrive a.
mong us, with all the absorbing proper
ty Of the sponge, and without any of the
dispensing power of the fount. 1t may
be however that support is not deserved
and under this impression we are making
arrangements to render the Creole in a
short time a much more interesting pa
per than it has been yet, and we hope
by this desire to emulate numerous wor-
thy contemporaries, to deserve and receive
handsome support. In our prospectus
we spoke ola desire to accumulate some
lucre, as being one ofthe motives of the
undertaking. This motive has ceased
measurably to operate. We are some.
thing like little Frenchman who attemp.
ted speculation in brandon money, some
two or three years ago. To make the al
fusion Ineligible, to all, we had better
tell the story The frenchman bought
three parcels of this great article of traf
fck, (as it was then) and each one at
different price Is, 20 and 25 cents on tn.
dollar. Shortly after these purchases
the article fell to Is cts. display wa!
made of this money which he now, be
coming frightened proposed to sell, eacl
parcel a0as offered at its respective cost
Nor would he sell it any other way. He
did not wish to loose any thing Nor d,
Ue.

Taking care of No. i.

BY the last Memphis Enquirer we
judge it is the impression of the Tennes-
seeans that if Gov. Polk is defeated in
the election for Governor of that state, he
will be apt to have secured to himself a
seat in the United States Senate. At all
events he is now "w, rking" the thing so
as to bring about such result.

INDUSTRY AND TEMPERANcE.-A gen.
Itleman who keeps bees, informed me the
other day, that the fumes Of ardent spirits
are exceedingly offensive to these busy
artisans, and that Its presence will lrritate
them very much. He has several times
had visitors whose breath smelt OF ardent
spirits who came to see his bees, and the
bees would always come around such
with great deal of spite, and sling them
and drive them from the yard, while they
were perfectly peaceful to other persons.
He has found by experiments, that their
adherence of ardent spirit is inveterate.
Such fact, if known to the rum drinker,
would, we should think, be singing re-
proof of his degrading habits, and lead
him to see how much above him In wis

ARRIVAL OF THE BRITISH QuEEe

ARRIVAL OF THE BRITISH QUEEN.
The Globe of the 9Th says: "The arrival
Of the Westchester from New York,
whence she sailed on the l6,h February,
brings certain information that the Con-
gress oflhe United States, by the large
majority of l03 against 65, had voted in
favor Of the report on the Mcleod affair,
which was calculated to excite hostilities
with England. The subject being thus
taken UP by Congress, the government
must of course act in conformity with the
will OF the majority, and therefore the
chance of seeing the acts of the inferior
jurisdiction of the State of New York
overruled by the General Government no
longer exists. 1t makes the danger of a
collision more imminent than il was be-
fore. Our citizens viewing it in this
light, have shown much greater degree
of alarm regarding the question this morn

previous communication and stocks fell

entirely banished from the State, as she
