NEW RELIGIOUS SECT.

This is truly the age of discovery and Mis-
sissippi is the theatre of invention. Every
day almost brings forth some new discovery
in the Bond question. Not only have various
laws been discoved and promulgated under
this new theory, but now s6ct of religion
seems to have sprung up. We thought that
Mormonism was the latest discovery on that
subject but Joe Smith must knock under TO
our Mr.. Freeman. Mr.. F. has placed himself
at the head of a new Sect still later discovery
than Joe's. This new Mississippi Christiani-
ty, is based upon the assertion of John D. that
sat is irretigious to pay the State bonds" Free
man, we believe calls his sect 'vhe latter day
antt-bond Mmindries." John did not want TO
preach much about religion, but then he isn't
now as he used to was. Since he made his
discovery he talks about "religion," as pat as
you please. He is quite Reformed.
What mockery of every thing that sayors
of morality !-Yazoo Wig

We propose to the presses throughout the
State in favor of honesty, the propriety Of
suggesting to the Jugdes of the coming cleo
ton, to ask each voter the question of-Bond
or Anti-bOnd? and attaching to their names
A. or B., in order that posterity may know
who were, and who were not, opposed to the
payment of the State Bonds. Although there
is no compulsion to answer this question, we
feel confident that no Bond-payer VIII be
ashamed to do so and if the Antl-oonders
are conscientious in their principles they will
not refuse either; and those who dodge It,
may be considered Antics, and have the
Black mark attached to their names.

JUDGE SHATTUCK AND THE UNION
BANK,

The Locos with regard for veracity, truly |
astonishing, are proclaiming that Judge Shat
tuck has stated that the Union Bank is solvent,
and can pay the bonds herself. The Judge !
has said no such thing; but he has said what
we all know TO be fact, that if her means are
husbanded and managed to advantage, she can
pay a large amount of them. There are some
gentlemen now in the bank as directors. who
were selected by democratic legislature, on
account of character for honesty and integ-
rity, to take care of her assets, and they pos
itively assert this TO be true, beyond doubt or
cavil. Her bills receivable and securities of
various descriptions, amount TO the enormous
sum of eight millions of dollars whilst her
liabilities, on account of circulation, do not ex-
coed SI60O,O0O. If she collects half or even
one third of this. and that she will, we do not
entertain a doubt, as a great portion of II is
, secured by mortgage upon valuable property,
she can make large appropriation towards
= the liquidation of the bonds. The sheriff of
r Wilkinson county, for instance, informs us that
out of a large debt due from its citizens to
the bank, not a dollar will be lost, and there
a are several counties of which the same may
! no doubt, be said. But the Locos while they
/ pretend to be the friends of the poor man,
z which, however, melancholy experience has
e convinced US, is only pretence. are in favor
&c of abandoning the institution 10 its fate ana
t, releasing the large debtors which they have
I so much abused from all obligation to pay
! This money once lost and squandered never
y can be recovered, and it might So happen tina
! notwithstanding the action Of the Legislature
IN which we all know would be only declaratory
a and not of any binding force, whatever, upor
re their successors, the state may come to he
10 senses and conclude to pay the debt; but The
er beautiful policy recommended by Mr.. Tuck
p er and his supporters. would cause il 10 b

CONSISTENCY.

Some antl-bondmen contend that the u
|nion Bank is unconstitutional, but wish the
assets of the bank used to redeem the bonds.
Let them remember that if the demonstrations
atty of the bank is established there is of
course no longer any liability on the debtors
OF the bank. They are at once released. A
debt surely will still exist but there will be no
power TO coerce payment; there will be no
plaintiff to bring suit, and conseq uent!y all
the assets of the bank will be of no avail
Here is the wing bond doctrine, &c secure
these assets, and use them in the redemption
of the bonds, bot if nt-bondism succeeds (of
which we have not The least idea) these as
sets amounting TO $7,000,0OG will be total
loss.
