The Pontotoc "Tribune" of the Oath

Smith, Esq, TO the editor Of the Sentinel,
in which that gentleman declares himself a
candidate for Congress in the place Of DR..
Gwin, says: "Mr. Smith is the same man
who figured so conspicuousIy in the late
jackson Caucus, and introduced resolutions
regulating the mode Of voting by delegates,
&c. Now, Mr.. s. did introduce such re-
solutions, and instead of being blamed for
so doing, his conduct is worthy Of all COM
mendation. 1t was his object to prevent
his own county, and others, which by rea-
son of their contiguity to Jackson, were
very fully represented in the convention,
from having an undue weight in the DELHI
erations of that body. Therefore, it was
that he introduced resolutions regulating
the number of votes which each county
should give, by the cote it uas entitled TO
in the popular branch Of the State Legisia,
ture. This motion came with the best
grace from Mr.. s., he being one. of the de-
legation from county that had the larg-
est representation in the Convention

it up as an evidence of democratic fairness

The Tribune takes Mr.. s. to task for
saying that Dr.. Gwin dictated candidate
from the northeast. Certainly the doctor
did suggust, in very out-of.the.way man.
ner, that his successor should come from
the north east. Did The Tribune never hear
that, few days before DR.. Gwin publish
ed his letter declining to run, he wrote to
The north, urging some north eastern man
to run? We know that Mr.. Smith had rea-
son to believe he did write such letter, al

Slarery in Teras.-The question o

Slavery in Teras-The question Of
the abolition of slavery in Texas begins to
excite much interest everywhere. 1t is
said that President Houston favors some
scheme Of emancipation it is certain that
the " Civilian" a paper which, it is said,
speaks "by authority" of the President,
has taken ground IN favor of the measure.
II is rumo ed that the British Government
has proposed 10 Texas that if she will abol-
ish slavery within her limits, Great Britain
will espouse her cause and send over her
fleets and armies to route the Mexcans.
As the fortunes of war have been setting
rather against Texas, it is, by many,
thought probable that Englono's over'ures
may be accepted. Prodigous efforts are
being made at the north and elsewhere,
prompted in part by negrophilism and in
part by love Of ain, TO induce the peoi lie
of Texas 10 believe that their interes,
should prompt them to emancipate their
slaves, because, as they urge, if that were
done, smigration from Eng land and from
the free States would be so great and sud-
den as to cause great increase Of the val
ue of the landed properly Of the country
This may have great weight with the peo'
pie, particularly as it is apparent that 'be
slave boiler can easily anticipate the pas
sage of,he emancipation law, and before
i. goes into operation, carry his slaves Re-
yond its controul.
This 81 matter Of the gravest importance
to the cotton growing and slave States Of
the south. What danger may we not aP'
prehend to our domestic institutions by the
approach Of emancipation TO territory SO
contiguous' and how great would be the
deiriment to the intere,t Of the southern
cotton-grower, caused by foreign. compe-
tition in the culture Of that article, in a

FRANCE AND FREE.TRADE.

The Journal des Debats states that a
sudden panic has ceized the agricuturis,s
of Brittany, in consequence OF the arrival
at Morlaix Of a vessel from the United
States laden with butter, salt meat, clover
aud other seeds, which, notwithstanding
the heavy import duty to which those arti-
cles are subject, have been sold at chea.
per rate than those produced in France.
The consequence has been," says the
Debats, "that a cry has been raised for "a
prohibilive duty. It IS necessary that we
should repress these demands for CONNER
cial restriction which have lately gained
ground, otherwise we shall arrive at
state of absolute commercial isolation, and
by degrees we shall be induced to re-es-
tablish the customs lines Of the ancient
regime between the different centres Of
