sorrows and joys, and all its mutations

FUNNY.

We see in the last Mississippian a
communication addressed to the editors
of the Globe. by "a Mississippi Anti-bond
paver'' of Madison county This cor
respondent hammers away at killing
rate to prove by the old arguments made
a thousand times already, to prove III at
it would be mighty rascally to pay the
bonds. He makes an admission which
the anti bonders have not as yet made,
viz: that Mississippi could pay the bonds
If she chose 10. The ideas contained in
the two following paragraphs that the
wings are are all rascally parasites, and
the editors of the Globe, honest and in
dependent, is very ludicrous-very.
Those who WELD the thyrsus of wing
sentiment in the north, are loo besotted
by ill-gotten gains-are too welded to
the few, who live on the labor of the
many, (such as political gamblers, Bank
thieves and nabob manufacturers, TO ID
justice to any set of men, who avow doc
trines antagonistical to the interests Of
their masters.
You. gentlemen. have shown a differ
ent spirit, because you are an indepen.
dent press, you have demured to theil
pleas-you have called for an inspection
of the record. will submit it 10 you
and ask judgment not only of you, bur o
the candid world, in favor of the "Anti
Bonders'' of Mississippi.

These holiday times have a suspend
ing effect on most of the printing profess
sion, We discover, and although we did
not intend it, the same effect has resulted
10 us, though from different cause. We
are compelled this week to issue only a
halfsheet, on account of the indisposition
of our type setting coadjutors, of which
we complained last week. This is diff
fculty, which it has been impossible to
avoid, as compositors are not at all times
available in this region.

Victoria's subjects, or the Emperor of
China, but we regret TO lose a moment
from scattering intelligence among the
people. A consolation afforded is that
we, like Mr.. Tyler, have such san abb

virtue ofthe people," that we think they
will be able to "get along' without our
shedding another ray Of intellectual light
upon them until next Saturday morning,
when the Legislature and its doings will

We notice in the New Orleans Bulle
tin communication signed "a Planter
of Carroll'' in which the writer invokes
the planters to look to their own interest;
and attempts to prove that there is a
combination OF almost every other class
against the planters. He deals some
strong blows at newspaper editors, mo-
nopolies, Gov. Romaa's late MESA ge,
&c. &c. The temper, tone and language
OF his article prove the writer a man oil
talent. and that he was somewhat excited,
doubtless justly, when he wrote. He
says the cotton planters have been ahu.

four years have been raisingaad sus' ain

true; and whether or not the writer is

but we may publish it next week.

HONESTY.

The Republican little brown paper
concern published in Lincolnton, N. c..
cxults most joyously about democratic
triumph lately obtained in this State /:
quotes from the Mississippian as ohig
paper, and asks with show of seeming
ignorance, what the wings will attribute
their defeat TO. The editor of the Re-
publican is such an owe rdone, red-hot To-
coloco, and SO entirely blinded by poiti-
cal prejudice, that ii he had not got out of
the habit he couldn't tell the truth. ANY
man that will call the Missisippian a
achig paper, either knows he is wrong, or
has not sense enough to distinguish the
difference between whig and locofoco.--
Any man that will ask what the late de-
feat of the wings in Mississippi is TO be
attributed TO, and at the same time quote
an article Mentioning bondism and antl-
bondism, and proving that the wings were
defeated only on account of their homes
ty, is either a - let his readers
judge. Verify, you little blinded, incon.
siderable back country partisan, the inn
pudence evinced in your garbled, hall
