PUBLIC MEETING.
We have been requested to say there
will be a meeting of the citizens of Madi-
son county generally, at the Court House,
on Monday next, for the purpose ofdis
cussing the Bond question.
We refer our readers to the able com
munication of our correspondent Renzi,
in another column. He challenges Anti
bond payers TO a discussion Of the sub
cct with which they are making strene-
Gus efforts to create some excitement III
the State, and that without any display
of valor for nothing is to be feared from
men who sputter and fume so much as
these anti-bond payers, many Of whom
have come TO our State without any 9th
er than their own individual interest, TO at
tend 10 or care about and very suddenly
discover that they love US. nightly that
Mississippi is the greatest country in the
World, andthe way to make this known
is for US 10 act dishonorably, for them to
commend us for it, and abuse US for do
ing that which duty and honor, and con
sequently inclination bind US to do, and
the refusal to do which would cause the
whole world to abuse us.
So sanguine have we been that the
people would not repudiate these bonds
and deny our liability for their payment
that we have thought the discussion of
the subject useless, but wild Irishman'
a red mouthed Englishman or a fugitive
jail bird from New England, can come
among US, get charge of a newspaper and
without any regard for the responsible
character Of their employment as public
journalists by indiscriminate abuse OF
private individuals and every thing else
forget in the heat and intensity
Of the strife to uphold any of the institu-
tons or acts of the people, and thereby to
give the state character and respectable
ty abroad. BY this means, we say these
extremely and suddenly patriotic individ-
uals can soon get up an excitement,
which requires years to alley. They &C
it with forty O'Connell power, and in the
rabid vulgar abusive and universally cs,
teemed odious,, style of the great aboli
ton "agitator" the friend to the negroes
and enemy of every thing else, they
rant and roar, with indications Of the
tenderest regard for US, our state and the
purity our institutions. They cannot be II
earnest. BY former and long cherished as
sociations they have lost all amiability
whichshould attach to human, and be
come hyenas in dispositions and some o
them closely resemble that most unamia
BILE of all animals in, in form. And yet sucI
