TnE INAuGURAL ADDREss.-The Ma
tional Insei,gcncer, the official organ Of
the new administration. thus characterlses
the inaugural:
eWAsmlNCroS's Inaugural may have
been more stately; JEFFERsoN's more
philosophic; MADIsoN's more terse, each
10 unison with The character Of the 'wri-
ter's mind. General HARIsoN's Address
might have reese mbled either OF these mod.
cIs more ihanit does; but had It done so,
il would nol have been his own, Nor un-
less the wholly mistake the popular taste
and feeling, weslL il have been half as
acceptable 70 the great body of the Pfesi-
dents constituents as ia its present
shape. !"
Nlcat true! 1.-THE document had been
either stately or "philoaophic" or 'terse'
- The Inteligencer might have added, \
lii had been respectable either 10 matter
or style, il would not have been General
EIarrison's sown," II could not have
been the author Of the speech Of Fort
Meigs.
The IntelligenceF's estimate OF the
Unpopular taste and feeling" seems 10 be
predicated upon the fact Of Gen. Harm
sons election; and the character Of the
means which were successfully employed
10 effect that result.

direct and deeper interest, we extract the
following statement Of the New Orleans

respondent Of the Nate hez Courier bearing

that he has taken much pains to make his
statement strictly correct
The Cotton market, for the week ending
last night, closed with much better re.
port than could have been expected from

even until il had began TO wane-but the

% moral liability on the part OF the
State, to pay or cause 10 be paid, the debt
created by the sale Of The bonds named 10
the inducementto these resolutions; there
being no code Of laws or morals known
to us, which requires or sanctions the
imposition Of tax to pay debt created
in the name Of the people of the State i;
but ia fraud Of their dearest rights, and 10
violation Of their constitution and laws.
Resolrtd, ID, That these bonds being
null and void from the beginning, the peo>
pie Of the state, can only be made liable
for their redemption by the mode pointed
out in the ninth article Of the seventh sec
ton Of the Constitution OF this State.
RESOLVED, 3rd, That as citizens Of the
state Of Mississippi, we feel profound
and undying interest IN the preservation
Of its honor; and win use all proper exer-
tons 10 preserve it's faith invlolate, but
entertaining the firm conviction that these
bonds do not amount TO pledge Of the
faith ofike state, inasmuch as the people
have never sanctioned their issuance or
sale, we will zeaIonsly oppose the impo-
sition OF a tax for their redemption.

POLITICS FOR FARMERS.

Eighteen months ago we commended
that the present administration, by its
measures in the prosecution of the war
on the currency had driven thousands of
active and industrious men who had been
consumers of grain in the Eastern States,
to fly to the Western States, there to be-
come producers and that this change
from customers Of our farmers to being
rivals, had, contributed greatly 10 the
then declining price Of agricultural pro-
ducts.
We then had no documentary evidence
to prove this change, and had to refer to
the fact that steamboats, and every other
mode of conveyance to the west were
crowded with emigrants, and TO the ge-
neral notorious fact, that the Western
States, such as Indiana. Illinois, Missouri,
Michigan and the territories were filling
up with extraordinary rapidly.
The census, however. has lately been
taken, and removes all doubt or vague
ness on this subject.
Upon reference to the returns, it will
be seen that the four Western States,
Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and Michigan
