A CALLED SESSION.

The Governor of this State has issued
his proclamation converting the Legisa.
lure on the 10Th day Of Ja!y next. What
the particular emergency is, which has
caused his excelency to take this extraor-
binary step we know not. The proclama-
lion itself makes no disclosures on the sub.
iect. We have heard II hinted, the Gov
ernor is in favor Of distrlctlng the State
under the late mandatory act Of Congress,
and that this is the real cause for his as.
>embling the Legislature, AT the inconvcn-
lent time above mentioned. For oursell,
we shall regret to see any such thing done,
believing the district system to be bad in
Itself il not unconstitutional, and being al
so opposed TO any sanction whatever Of The
Districting Law.
If this extra session does not result in
consequences as bad to the Democratic
party in this State, as the late extra ses'
sion ofCongress did to the Wings, we shall
be most agrceably surprised. What else
could be expected from the meeting OF tbs
legislature at time when there is such
great want Of her money and good feeling
amongst the members Of our pnrtY'

Important from Texas, i true,-When
in Vicksburg on the day before yesterday,
we learned through the Capt. of a steam
boat Just from N, o. that the Texan feet
had been captured by the Mexcans, and
Commodore Moore and his crew carried
as prisoners into some Mexican port. The
information of the Captain on the subject
was not definite as to the particulars. II
this be true, the fate Of Texas is indeed
gloomy.

one Of the most prominent commerc'al

We learn farther, that by the steam,

GEN. PRICE:
Dear Sir-From the Mssissippian and
and o'her Democratic prints, | learn that
we are to have another Democratic State
Convention. This is right. Let us meet
on the anniversary of that glorious day
that gave birth to our common country,
and in a spirit like that which animated
our fathers, to compromise our diSaifections
unite again as band of brothers and
swear upon our country's altar that we
still are tree-let lis renew our pledge one
10 another and like Romans, 90 into this
contest, with firm resolve, never to lay
down our arms until we have cAtirpated
the political Samnates, who for near sew
enty years have waged unceasing war
upon the empire of democracy. see IN
this movement for a new Convention, the
early dawning of better and brighter
day-the sun IS rising to dispel the murky
clouds of dependency ard reveal 10 us a
clear and brilliant sky. Vino so timd as
to despair of success-who 50 rash as 10
dream that we could be dsfeatcd-let them
come W TO the Convention Gu the fourth

"Nor is GU. Government to be maintain
ed, or our Union preserved by invasions Of
the rights and powers Of the several States.
In thus attempting to make our General
Government strong, we make it weak
Its true strength consists in leaving indi-
vduals and States, as much as possible, to
themselves in making itself felt, not in
its power, but in lis benifcence, not in its
control, but in its protection, not in bind
ing the States more closely to the centre,
but leaving each to move unobstructed in

But, though" curtailed of this fair pro-

doubtless, if the doctrines of materialists,
(that the mind which thinks raHy and smart
things, is matter) be true, the editor oithe
Wing has much more Of this substance,
whether it consists Of clay or mud, in that
particular part Of his structure called brains,
than even we have.
But, politically, the whig may well say
of us, "Poor clay" Thank God we
have none of that poorest Of all poor things,
ClayiSm in our political constitution. And,
though no sceptc on the subject Of mans
Immortality, we are yet disposed to think
that ClayiSm is so absolutely incompatible
with our entity, that the least whit OF its
contamination would produce our instant
annihilaton. But not so with the editor
Of The Wing. The political mesmerizer,
