Our Constitution.

What an admirable Constitution we Mis-
sissippians have got! First rate to bOrrOw
money with; and when once we've got it,
it hangs to us like Tucker 20 his "indisposi-
tlon." 1t is the most perfect receiUing and
non-paying Constitution we know of. We
are shortly 10 have patent right forit.
or Discussion AT GRAND GULF.-A week
or two since they had meeting at Grand
Gulf to discuss matters and things relative to
paying the bonds. The Wing candidates
were on the spot and one ofthe Anti-bonders,
Gen. Briscoe. But the General after DR..
Magruder's speech could not be got to the
stand. Ate: calling for Unexpectedly from
every part of the meeting and he as often re-
fusing to make them speech, and asserting
that he "was not to be called out by the
wings" he rose in his seat and attempted to
reply 10 DR.. NJ, but did not remain up but
a very few minutes. 1t is not pretended
that there is to be any kind of a contest in
Claiborne. 1t is all on one side, and the
right side at that.

o. We have carefully searched through
every anti-bond paper we have received in
order to find something worth noticing, or
some argument worth refuling. FruiIless
search! The papers are about as mute and
dry on the subject as are the anti-bond can
didates and speeChmakers in this quarter.
Ashamed of advocating such abomnable doc
trines they have well nigh forsaken them.
The following article from the Vicksburg
Sentinel is almost the only ant-bond Grgu-
mem we have received by the last mail or
two. We give this to our readers as a speci-
men. We mean a specimen ofseveral things.
First Of poIiteness; second Of gentility; third
of decency; fourth Of argument; fifth of an
ti-bondism, and sixth Of the tone Of the press.
We hope it will be extensively read as it is a
pity such specimen should be lost.
Estate BONDS.-This subject has been now
so thoroughly discussed that there are but
/ few Relo views in which it is susceptible of
being exhibited al present. The cOmmuni-
cation which we present to-day, however,
will be read with much interest. 1t exhibits
the shallow hypocricY and utter sefshness
of large portion OF these unprincipled gam
blers, who would sell their own souls and the
/ liberties of their country 10 foreign money
changers, in order to carry on their profigate
and licentious habits, and finish the igno-
minious career which they have run for the
last ten years, on the same prodigal and bru-
tai scale to which ;hey have been accustom-
ed. They are now too far gone in crime and
debauchery to adopt any honest pursuit, and
bank credit is their only resource.

~ Maj. john G. orr, State Rights
Wing, and fast friend of John Tyler, is the
Anti-Bond candidate for the Senate in the
District of Madison and Yazoo. Maj. O. is
one Of the soundest lawyers in middle Mis-
sissippi, and is universally esteemed.
Free Trader.
And the Major made a speech here few
days ago in which he declared that "the
bonds ought to be, must be and would be,
paid"
This, Mr.. Claiborne, is anti-bondism in
Yazoo. Why, Colonel, if you were here
yousef you could no more make an anti
speech than you could fly. Gwin, Freeman,
Woodward, OFT and our county boys have all
tried it lately and neither of them have said
"Anti-bond'' yet. The sound has not been
heardin Yazco forsix weeks, Dou you hear
that!

The farce shall end in tragedy.


The great Mississippi farce will end in
tragedy. Next Tuesday shall witness the
funeral obsequies of the great Mississippi
Anti Bondism. Already is the muffled drum
and the funeral dirge heard in the distance.
Sometimes, however, even yet, it seems al
most to struggle for life, and then again it
appears GREATNESS, pulseless and lifeess.
Some faint ray OF hope might yet CLEAN upon
it's visage was it not for the strange and un-
natural fact that in these trying agonies of
dissolution, it is utterly forsaken by its friends
and left to die in lonely silence and destIu-
! tion,-
"Unwept, unhonor'd and unsung."
| You who have a heart that can el,-be-
hold the great "Cause of the People"--the
great constitutional Question:" destitute
and forsaken! Not a tear is shed over its dy
ing agonles! Not friendly sigh to mingIe
with its convulsive death-grasp! Not a voice
to soothe the throbs of dissolution! Alone
and deserted,-
"Scorned by the world and left without a home,"
Who would have thought it! Orto speak
more scientifically on so mournful a subject;-
"Who'd "a hunk it," The "great' ques-
tion!-the) chershed--the nourished--the
honored, whom fame delighted to honor
and at the sound of whose name eloquence
could notkeep silence!-Freemaned, OWNED
IGraved, Thompsoned and even Crenshawed!
And then-what steeIed heart has the pen
Itha; can write it-forsaken of all these and
left to die-unpitieda and aIone Did you ecer!!
Democrats and Cotton Makers, read this
From week to week we have cOntended,
and it has been urged from the stump, that
the Planters of Mississippi, by lending their
influence to the Anti-bond faction were run
ming themselves into an enormous difficulty.
Jackasses attempted to laugh at such pro-
position, and some sap-heads tried to sheer at
J it as ,Ohiggery.
VoLNBY E HOWARD, of Jackson, talented
and acknowledged leader of the Democratic
party, has spoken upon this subject in let
ter lately published in the Jackson papers.
Hear him.

The Cotton Tax.

1t will not be forgotten by he voters of
Mississippi when they approach the ballot
boxes, next Monday, that Mr.. TUCKER, the
ant-bond, antj-taration candidate for Govern
or, is in favor Of taxing the cotton planters of
this State, ONE DOLLAR A BALE on their crops.
What he wants to do with the money the
Lord only knows. 1t is matter Of history.
however, that this was his project in the
legislature; he urged it with what little pow
er and influence he had, and he is vet in
favorofthe same project; at least, we presume
so, for neither himself or his friends has ever
said any thing to the contrary.
Now, who wants toVote a dollar bale tax
on every bale of cotton made in the State?
Those who wish to do SO will have an oppor-
tunity on Monday next. Go then to the
polls and vote on this Cotton tax as seemeth
good unto you.
