BANKRUPT PETITIONS.

We learn from The last Mississippian
that the applicant has a right to choose
the newspaper in which the notice Of his
having petilioned, may be published. II
this had been made known little earlier.
II might have saved something to us. and
probably 10 others. But the announce
ment in the Mississippian, that it was
the paper appointed BY the Court "A few
numbers back deceived several. 1t seems
that The proceedings had in this matter,
so far, have been conducted with a dila
tory carelesSness for which we can find
no excuse; but hoping the future con
duct of officers will be marked with more
attention and less murmuring, we shall
say no more at present.
The following is from the Mississip
plan of the 18Th inst.

Why are Mississippians so liable to
excitement, and to run mad about every
thing new that presents itself. The spl-
ril OF speculation which played riot with
the understandings of nearly every body
in SO and 81 has been succeeded by a
Temperance Reform, which is inhuen-
cling the minds of men so powerfully
that many who in times past have glored
in debauch of days and nights, now
look with loathing upon any poor un
fortunate who may be so ruinously ad-
dicted. This. we of course, heartily
commend And so we do, TO "a certain
extent, he spirit " hich is improving the
earth and lis products, and the breed and
quantity of hogs and cattle. But it is a
strange disposition that veers so easily
and so often from one extreme to anoth.
er; and ii all the talk aud enthusiasm on
these subj cts does not settle down al
last lnto PLAIN old fashioned way o.
doing things, we are nightly mistaken
This readiness 10 take up every thing
new, without calculating the cost or ad
vantage, will wear off; and 500 hog,
will moi be i'll vogue long. No hog i,
worth SIGO really, aud some of thos,
who have been so eloquent about Dur
hams and Berkshires and Byfelds anc
Graziers, will find it out after a while
The ultimate use intended TO be made o
hog, is 20 eat it. and the highest price
of bacon that we have ever heard of
would not bring an ordin rily large hos
to one fourth of this amount. This /.
30 business Of ours, but being of an en-
Iquiring "lurn," we tcouid be pleased Il
know why Mississipplans are so easil,
carried away by every thing new, tia
may be proposed.

THE CREOLE CASE.

We published last week Mr.. Webster's letter of
instructions to Governor Everett upon this important
question We were not little surprised to such
a document from the pen of Webster. He takes a
most noble stand against the high-handed aggression
of the British authorities in the case in controversy
and enforces his opinions by reasonings which
pass in strength and clearness any production of his
coniessedy powerful pen, that ever came under our
notice As might be expected, the old Federalists
denounce the letter Of Instructions, and speak with
-restrained malice of the author himself. Charles
King, the execrated author of the Dartmoor prison
report, man who seems perfectly insensibe to any
wrong that England may perpetrate against American
rights, takes up the matter the British side, and in
a long and elaborate argument attempts to oyerturn
Mr.. Webster's opinions, and even hints that, he
in different position he would promulge different
views. But be this as it may, the doctrines promul-
gated in MIR. Webster's letter are those upon which
the Government of this country has taken its stand
they sound and just-they honorable to Mr..
Tyler and his Cabinet, and deserve the firm and hear
ty concurrence of the American people
AS the may be one of difficulty, and is not
likely, in the event of war; to be of the matters
in dispute, we earnestly commend the letter to the
D erusal of our readers.
