STATE DEBTS.

SGA1E DGsbASs
Ii is gratifying to perceive. that the
course of the Governor of Mississippi, in
recommending a refusal to pay the bonds
issued by the State, meets with general
reprobation throughout the Union. The
bare suggestion of the idea has brought
the name of the author into merited odlum
and detestation, and similar obloquy Will
cover the State if the disgraceful mea-
sure is attempted to be carried out. The
effect which the proceeding has already
had on American credit in Europe, IS per-
nicious in the extreme. The distrust of
our State securities is become universal;
a scandal attaches even to the name of
American, and the whole nation is de-
nounced as destitute of good faith and
honest principle, All this has sprung
from merely the effort Of the State Exc
cutive to repudiate the State debts. What
the consequences will be, should the
people of the whole State yield 10 the
wicked suggestions of their Governor,
may be more easily imagined shan de-
scribed. Certainly nothing could be Iuore
Notifying to National pride, than 50
shameful dereliction Of principle il one
OF the sisters Of the confederacy.
After that, an American viii rot be
able to hold up his head in a foreign
country, without blushing. Besides the
disgrace that attaches TO every commu-
nifty that abandons the strict line of mo-
raj rectitude, other inconvenience Of a
serious nature are likely to arise, should
the course recommended by the Govern
or be adopted by Mississippi. 1t cannot
be supposed that foreign creditors will
remain passive and submit, without a
struggle, to a privation of their just
rights. If the lawsof the country fur
nish no redress, they will no doubt appeal
to their own Governments to enforce the
payment of the debt The offence is
one of nature certainly to Justify Go
vernment in interfering in behalfof sub
jects, oppressed and defrauded by 70
reign State. Thus might it readily hap
pen, that the bad faith Of Mississippi
would lead the nation into difficulties
and collisions, sure to bring upon US dis
honor and calamity Our Government
may be called upon to assume the debt
and in case Of refusal an appeal be made
to the sword for redress land should
things come to that pass, what American
could feela pride in fighting in such a
cause? Atthe present crisis, the ques
ton is one Of paramount interest, and
cannot be Urged toa strongly upon the
consideration OF an enlightened and pa
triotic public Bulletin.

impaired. The giant may slumber but
his resistless power is not gone. The
whig party is still as unwavering and
devoted in its stern opposition to the doc
trines and measures of locolocoism as it
ever has been. Sampson like, it will
arouse itself when the time for action
shall arrive and scatter IFS adversaries TO
the four winds, as it did in 1910. He is
easily discouraged who gives way to de-
spondency on account of the late State
elections.--Memphis Enquirer.

4 Renenfant sinner.


Away down East-somewhere in the
vicinity Of Goshen Gore it may be, al
though we do not remember the precise
Iocality--there sProuted into existence a
very rough specimen of an enterPrising
Yankee. One day, after he had arrived
at years Of discretion, he ''made tracks,
for the regions Of the South. In the
course ol--much less than quarter of a
century, he found himself in a highly
dourishing condition. Being blessed with
stout pair Of lungs and very pleasing
demeanor, he had secured an auctioneer's
appointment, in course of time, and man
aged to transact G first rate business.
After long absence from his native re-
gion, he found il convenient 10 visit the
friends u his early days. p..z- hae
worked sad changes. During his alb
sence, the new-fangled doctrine of aboli-
tionism had been introduced, and he
found himself assailed, by multitude Of
persons, very anxious to gain information
in regard to the South He was perse-
cuted with all sorts Of enquiries, and, on
more than one occasion, was obliged to
enter the lists in defence Of Southern in
situations. Soon after his arrival at his
early home, he called to see an old anti
quated aunt She was the devoted dis
ciple of every thing new. When the
days of anti-masonry commenced, she
was an anti mason; nay, she was even
the secretary Of a "Female Anti-Masonic
Society" One day, a ranting lecturer
upon abolitionism, made his appearance
in the village where she lived. aud deliv
cred lecture upon abolltionism. Tbs
whole town went crazy--all the old wo
men and all the young women common
ced the she war--against the South an
its institutious-there was not petticoa
In that region that failed to stand aghas
at the very idea of slavery. An associ

as its President. 1t was after this occur

THE SHARP NosED GENTLEMAN.


The Little Rock (Arkansas) Gazette
says, "that during the great struggle in
the last Presidential canvass, a young
man, whose face nature had formed Ill
tie on the pick-axe style, was one public
day surrounded by number Of hearers,
at$endveiy listening to his efforts in cleo
pioneering, amongst whom was plain
old farmer, who was afflicted with STAN
mering, who thus accosted the aforesaid
gentleman:
"T-tell me, my friend, did-dldn't you
come from a rich na-ha. bourhood?"
Eyes, the people are most all well pro-
vided for. Why do you ask the ques-
tion?''
Because the scriptures say that the
rich grind the faces of the poor, and
see they have g-got yours down to p
p-point" The sharp nosed gentleman

Tho following favorable notice Of Mr.,
Sanford Mason, Portrait Painter, who has
becn resident Of this town for several years.
we copy from the Norwich Conn Aurora
of the 18th inst.
Mr.. S. Mason, Of Newport, r. |. has been
for several days pas, at the Hotel on Nor
wich Green, taking the portraits Of several Of
our citizens. We have called upon him n,
his room number of times, and although
laying no claim to the skill ofa connoseur,
we feel confidence 10 saying, from an exami
nation OF his performances, that Mr.. Mason
possesses taste in design, and an eye and
hand to correctly execute. His figures are
easy, elastic and graceful, and have an mir
Strikingly natural. We think he exccls in
The elegance and animation OF his faces, and
th@bcauiy and adaptation Of his fancy dra.
peries. Ills coloring combines in d high de-
gree the qualities, of richness, brilliaDcy aud
freshness. lie looks upon the human coun-
tenancc with paintcr's eye, and seemingly
SEXES al once upon The prcdominatng fea-
ture by which the person is known and dis.
tinguisllcd, and, rs soon as seen, executes il
with correctness aud facility. Although
Mr.. Mason has bestowed some attention to
landscape aud historical painting, yet for the
last ten years he has devoted himself almost
entirely TO portrait painting, and pursued his
profession principally in our Atlantic cities.
lie contemplates remaining with Us short
time longer, and those Of our good citizens
who wish to have their countcrparts trans
mittcd to postcrity on "pcrlshuble canvass"
will do well to call a, the Hotel, and see
and SIT.
