6ui,artbern brethren are thinking men,
and know their interests as we'll as we do,
thew will have no objection to a southern
president, who, in every way. possesses
all the qualifications for the office. They
will have nothing to fear Of his partialit,
for the south, as his principles are well
known and have been most explicitly pro-
mulgated For the reasons thus given, |
believe Mr.. Calhoun stands the best

The Democratic Central Committee
have called another Convention on the
fourth day Of July next, but since Gov.
Tucker has convened The Legislature on
the 10th of that month, we doubt not but
that the time Of meeting will be changed
till the latter period. We as little doubt
that wherever and whenever held it will
prove failure. The people will not turn
out at season Of the year so unhealthy
and uncomfortable. They think we have
had conventions enough this year. Many
of them too, in these parts. fear that there
is secret design on foot 10 change, in this
Convention. the position which Mississippi
occupies in relation to the time oil holding
a National convention; and whatever may
be thought of this elswhere, it will not 60

DEATH OF DR.. HAGAN.

DR.. Hagan, the distinguished editor Of
the Vicksburg Sentinel, was killed on
Wednesday last, in street fight with D.
w. Adams, Esq, of jackson. The cause
ofquarrel between the parties was an ar.
ticle which appeared in recent number Of
DR.. Hngan's paper and which Mr.. Adams
conceived to be derogatory TO the charac-
ter OIL his father, Hon. George Adams, late
Judge of the U. g. Court in Mississippi.
We have heard several accounts Of the
fight, which are so variant from each 9th.
er that We decline giving any of them.
Mr.. Adams was held to bail in tho sum
Of $4,000, which he readily gave.
