o-.7-Tbe editor of the Notebez Courier

6J-The editor of the Natchez Courier
puts the following interrogation TO his
readers, as a suggestion, which, ne says,
presents view Of the bond question, that
is striking and judicious.
"If my agent transcend or lransgress
his delegated power in any negotiation,
and involves me 10 contract which he
was not authorized TO make, will not my
acceptance of the benefits OF that contract
or negotiation, be sufficient proof Of my
assent to it, and 10 lis conditions?"
Unfortunately for the argument of this
aslute politician, the question presented in
his suggestion, is entirely dissimrlar 10
that raised in relation to the illegal State
bonds, sold for the Union Bank.
The aggregate people OF Mississippi
were never recipients Of the benefits re-
suIting from the proceeds Of the sale OF
these bonds; but on the contrary, they
have been pIundered through the instru,
mentality Of the same.
These bonds, as must be plain to every
one who has acquainted himself with the
history of the whole transaction, we're
created ia contraventlon OF the Constltu-
ton in which the mode Of Obtaining the
assent Of the people to such measure, is
explicitly pointed out; and consequently
the bonds we're void and not obligatory
upon the people. They, therefore, could
be ratified, in no other way than thar
pointed out for their original creation,
which has never been done lnasmuch
then, as the aggregate people Of the state
were not the benefciaries Of the sale of
these Unconstitutional Bonds; and have
never sanctioned their creation or sale,
the case presented by the editor of the
Courier, has no feature in common with
the question, except that of the agents
trOnsceuding his delegated powers. The
gentleman certainly reasons badly from
analogy.

JOHN d. FREEMAN

We learn by late number Of the
Vicksburg Sentinel, that this talented
and distinguished member of the bar, has
at length consented to accept the nomna'
ton, for the Office of Attorney General,
rendered him by the Democratic State
Covent.on. .......... ........
We know no one to whom we would
more readily give cordial support for
that high station, than Mr.. Freemar-no
one who possesses in a more eminent de-
gree the qualifications essential to an eff
cient discharge of the important duties Of
that office. MIR. Freeman has done
noble service in the cause Of Democracy
and is a jealous opponent ofthe monstrous
proposition to tax the people to pay the
illegally created, and frauduIenty sold
bonds the proceeds of which were sqgan'
dered by the Union Bank.

The BEAU TIFUL EFFECTS OF THE BANK |
ING SYSTEM IN ARKASsAs..--W We learn that
n few weeks since, the people closed the
Court House at Helena, Arkansas, and
refused admission to the court d its minis
teral officers,with view 70 defeat the i'm
mediate rendition Of Judgments in tovor Of
the swindling banks Of that State. The
Court attempted to hold Its session in an
other bGilding, but was thwarted in this
by the resignation of the Sheriff
The banks of that state were founded
upon the same corrupt basis with those Of
plnndered Missiippi they have run alike
course Of swindling and corruption; and
they will draw in their train, the same
disastrous consequences. AS is-the GUS
tom of all such institutions, their loans
were confined chiefly 10 their own mana>
gers and especial favortes who are now
permitted to revel, unmolested in the en-
ioyment of millions, while the more
honest and uncomfortable borrowers are
forced to make great sacrifices TO meet
their obligations. Such has always been,
and doubtless will ever be the course of
banking institutions. They are created for
& rebound only 10 the benefit OF the favor.
ed few, 81 their base s. mercenary mnions
who would jeopardlze the Liberties of their
country for "fIlhy lucre." BY these
liberty desiroying institutions, such exclu.
sves are enabled to make the producing
classes of the community their tributary
vassals, imperceptbly and irresistably
robbing them Of the produce OF their labor,
under pretence Of furnishing them cur
rency and facilitating exchanges.
The Developments which have been,
and are still being made relative to the
ultimate tendencies of this direfuI system
will we trust, check that mania for bank
ing which has so long pervaded this coun.
try, TO the great injury of its best interests
and Its morals; and that the people will
free themselves from its influence, while
the vestal fame yet tlickers OIL the holy
altar olliberty.

0HFOn last evening Just after dark, the
two fellows who were some weeks since
committed to the Jail of this county, to
await their fnal trial, on a charge of steal
Jog negroes, made desperate effort to
effect their escape, which fortunately
proved abortive. They had succeeded,
during the day, in removing from their
limbs, the chains with which they were
bound; and when the jailor, who thought
them amply secured, opened the door to
give them their supper, they unexpectedly
rushsd by him. He succeeded it arrest
ing one of them before he escaped from
the prison yard. The other was pursued
by several of our citizens, and caught at
the distance of two or the hundred yards
from the prison. Both were Immediately
reloaded with chains, which they will
doubtless find some difficulty in removing.
No blame can attach to any of our off.
GERS by reason of this attempted escape.
We learn that from the evidence detail.
ed before the committing court, no doubt
can be entertained of the guilt Of these
prisoners.
