These resolutions should be written in letters Of
pld-not thnt they are any thing more than it was
pc duty of honest men to adopt. Blu, rs tho
IorId wass now, honesy is becoming a rare virtue,
no on that account IS the more precious; and when
1ya ore found TO uphold il, they merit commcndat- n.
Whilst upon this subject, we nre reminded OF
3vng done apparent injustice TO n portion of the
POD people Of Mississippi, in no: discriminating
twccn the honest and dishonest of that Sinie. To
par the irjustice, we annex an earnest protest,
idressed to ourselves in common with others,
\ the Editor OF the Jackson "Sonthron." We
I've hut wotd to say in defence of our course.
& I'd tina: is, although the d discrimination was not
nde IN words. it was distinctly understood. VIC
signed The opprobriols epithets to apply solely to
8e unprircirlcd and roguish scoundrol., who ad
cated the reputation Of the debts Of the State.

ere the principal actors, and we hope they were
C only ones. Relying upon thc'statcmen, of the
Pu'h'on, we shall in future, in speaking of the
sind'ers of Mississippi, designate them, tho Loco
