MISSISSIPPI STATE DEBTs.-The re-

morals as in money. State bonds. au-
thorised and issued according to law.
have been repudiated and denied, not
withstanding the moral and legal obi
cations were as solemn and binding as
ever bound man to man. A few loco
loco journals out Of Mississippi have
been found to rejoice at this abandon
ment OF contract and sacrifice of honor,
and claim the result in that state as a
signal triumph Of democracy on the mer-
Its of the Bond question. If such be
the tendency of modern democracy.(as
some fits adherents avow in this case. \

tracts by the sacrifice of state honor and
Stale credit, and by a total disregard
OF law and justice, for the stability of
our institutions at home and fortbe gIo-

% We continue publishing series of ex-
tracts from the leading Journals in other States
IN regard to the position which Mississippi has
assumed towards her creditors. They pour
upon her their whitening denunciations Ike
burning lava, and all the stored wrath Of offen-
ded justice is hurled with an unsparing hand at
her dishonored name. These sentiments are
not confined to the press of one party, but
Wings and Democrats it win be seen unite in
holding up to the scorn and contempt Of the
civilized world, theState of Mississippi for her
fraudulent determination 10 refuse the paw
ment of money, which she borrowed through
her agents and appropriated 10 her institutions.
We lshall not deprecate the contemptous
and indignant terms of rebuke, which the
State of our adoption is daily receiving from
every direction. She has richly deserved it,
and we shall be the last to cry ''hold enough. y
By knowingly and deliberately taking the van
in the march of dishonor, she has thrown over
her name an ignominious distinction, which
will stick like the shirt of Messus to her char
acter and can be removed only by the soften
ing influence of time.

WGlJG SENTIMENT IN THE

NothIng Is more certain than that Mr..
Tyler has lost not only the confidence.
but the respect of the Wings of his ma.
tive State Whether he has been
compensated for this loss, by the acquisi-
ton OF the respect and confidence .af the
Locofoco party, is yet to be seen. We
lew days since, met with a genuine
wing from Brunswick-a thorough 90.

suffered 10 the cause, and he assured us.
mat ne had not seen or heard of the first
Tyler man" in all his district of country.
Every Wing repudiates His Excellency,
and no Locofoco has yet openly protested
friendship for him. So far from this.
Zen. Droomgoole, the big gun in that
region, talks IT is said, very freelv about

There is no doubt that the example
OF Mississippi, in this instance, will
materially affect The credit of the other
States abroad. A majority ofall STATE
debts is owing to foreigners who now
look on us with distrust, and it is said
that none of the late national loan will
be taken by foreign capitalists, such IS
their want of confidence even in the
General Government! Such are the
effects OF Locofocoism, practically IL

G The "Democrat is out again. with a
senseess article on "Publius.' The veteran
ofthat print, incapable of meeting a rational ar
gument, throws himselfupon his grand rally
lug points of unfounded assertions and aDu-
sive epithets, and calls the writer, whom he is
unable to refute, "scribler."
1t some of the shallow tricks ofths provin-
cial imitator ofthe Richmond Enquirer, when
ever he designs to draw most freely from his
fund of low and vulgar language to resort to
some hypocritical cant about "decency' and
'manners,' and, whenever he is unable to meet
an adversary, to affect to hold him in con-
tempt.
The argument in regard to reprisals, which
the sage Editor Of the Democrat pretended TO
consider so ridiculous and absurd in "Publius, -
is embodied in an Editorial of the Louisville
Journal as forcible view of the subject Il
the mind of our neighbor can be withdrawn
sufficiently from the Growing Of his chapman

amid" we would ask his attention to the piece

Whilst waiting for the opening of the mails
few evenings ego, we stepped into Jones
Hotel, where we met with a very respectable
and venerable looking old gentleman who In
formed us that he had travelled IN the stages to
this place and that he was desir Dus Of going TO
one of the North Western counties of this
State. After answering his questions in re-
gard to :he most direct ronte to his place ofdes-
tination, and as to the condition Of the roads,
&c, upon his stating that he was from Virgin
ia, we asked him what seemed to be public
opinion there in regard to the recent vote CIV
en- in Mississippi upon the reputation OF her
State bonds. After looking cautiously around
the room at the company present, he replied
very politely 81 am a stranger here SIR, and it
perhaps would not be proper or prudent for me
to state what is the public sentiment upon
that subject" We assured him that TO per-
son would take offence at his reply and
he might state his opinion with perfect impu-
nifty. He then said 81 believe it is universally
considered as abominaby disgraceful and all
are satisfied that the State Of Mississippi after
incuring all the odnm of an attempt to evade
her debts, viii finally have to pay them.'

permitted to retain the places which
they had so long abused to trample

yond doubt the crop of sugar in Lou

third, by the late frosts. The frost was
earlier this season than usual; and at
the same time cane was less matured,
in consequence of the fine growing

the juice of the cane is very weak, re-
curing much larger quantity to the

friends, of course those who, having
done their duty, thought it might be ex-
pected that all would do likewise, are
downcast at the late results in this and
other States. We do not propose to
explain these reverses, from the obvl-
Gus chagrin of the people at the untor-
tunate differences, and disappointments
flowing from them, among the men en-
trusted with the direction of our nation
al affairs, although this feeling undoubt-
eddy pervades the great body of the
Wings and has been the main incite-
ment to unusual exertion on the part
of our opponents. But the effort OF
the counh to throw off the late Admin
istration was severe beyond all exam :
pie. The excitement and labor of such
struggle could not be followed by ex-
haustation. Action and reaction are
as inseperabIe from the progress of So
ciety as Of nature. The recoil of the
earth from the sun is as necessary a
condition of It's established motion as
its approach. The ebb of the tide
follows the flood. ''The sun ariseth and
the sun goeth down, and hasteth 10 his
place whence he arose. The wind 60
eth toward the south and turneth about
unto the north; it whirleth about contin-
ually, and returneth again according to
his circuits
These pulsations Of nature are the
conditions of times and seasons, of
seed-time and harvest, of publication,
health and growth. The pendulum vi
brates, but the index of time advances.
The analogy Of nature reaches into
the domain ofhumanity. All the great
revolutions and stimulations of men
have been succeeded by langour.
England threw off her kings, but re-
Iapsed for while, though less deeply,
into the embraces of CROMWELL
France achieved violent revolution,
but fell back into atemporary; though
milder despotism. Both countries
gained UNNECESSARILY In theprocess.-
If there is no laborious exertion with
out fatigue, without il also there would
be only torpor and stagnation. If this
country now gives signs ofindiference,
of which Locofocoism avails itself to
clutch power in the states, it is not be-
cause the people love Locofocoism
more than they did year ago, but be-
cause they require an interval of repose
before they renew a contest in which
will be reasserted the same great objects
which prevailed with them then. There
is no reasonto despond; but every, nay,
the greatest ground for hope.
For every gift of noble origin
Is breathed upon by Hopes perpetual breath.

Senator Henderson, Of Mississippi, in
a letter TO his constituents on the sub
Ject ofthe State Bonds, in considering
the possibility ofwhat actually occurred,
thai the election would be decided
against the payment of the bonds,
speaks thus:
Suppose then, You who urge the
measure, achieve that disastrous M
jority against the payment off e ncnds
what then? How long can the PO-
sltlon be Vindicated? Suppose you
were to maintain that position FIVE
years-besides the dishoner, which
score of years could not efface, / YER
lily believe as a question of dollars ana
cents, the State would lose more ID
consequence of It's position in that tine
than would be sufficient to pay the
debt.-And what finally; after all!
Does any one suppose if the banks are
unable TO pay these bonds they are to
remain forever unpaid? Trust m such
councillors. No. After we shall have
run the round of dishonor and humll-
ity, and greatly diminished or retarded
the resources of our State, either from
coercion or a constrained choice,We
shall at last pay the bonds"
