President and Senate Of Texas had
no Just power to make such Il treaty.
The President and Senate cannot
change the most unimportant law;
still less can they change the great
organic law, and exercise that power,
which above all others, requires the
action Of the people, where alone So
voreign power resides-that Of ced.
ing away their whole country, and
merging its existence in another Pow.
or. The power of the President and
Senate is under 'he Government and
Constitution Of Texas--not TO abro-
rate that Government and Constitu-
ti,n. This, it wi be said. is a mat.
ter Of form more than of substance.
FERNS are often very substantial
things, and certainly no forms are Of
a character O sacred, than those
which are provided for acts Of such
magnitude us The transferring the en-
TIE sovereignty ola country. Could
the President and the Senats OF the
United States do such an actl If
not. what is the difference in the two
eases? It may tie in the more dege-
nerate days Of our own Republic,
that Il corrupt President and Senate
may make such a treaty with soma
foreign power. L.etus not acknowl-
edge tha; such an act would possess
any binding obligation. 1t is no an
swrr to Ills to say that there is no
dontt that the great majority of the
Texas eopie approve the treaty.
Would IN cdict Of the President al

Columbia, have the authority of law

and every voter in the L. State ap.

ILooK TO Ir.-EeverY voter in
Pike county, is doubtless Informed, TO
some extent, Of the great inequality Of
representation in our State, under the
present system. And every voter, who
is DESTROYS that representation should be
based upon population, equally and fair
", will record his vote, at the ensuing
August election, in favor of a Conven-
ton TO remodel the Constitution Of our
State, SO as to remedy this growing evil.
The constitutional number Of members
Of the House of Representatives, is one
hundred-and that number is now full.
The lower branch OF our next lcgi>la-
ture, will consist Of one hundred mem
Sers, representing siXty-seven counties.
New %conties will continue to be created.
until we arrive at our limit, (for be il
remembered, we cannot extend the num-
Der beyond one hundred, without ell
c~roaching upon that clause ofthc consti-
ton which secures 10 each county one
member, and at the same time limits the
number to one hundred, } and the most
casual observer will readily perceive,
that when the number of counties is in
creased to one hundred, the evil is in
creased, and we are carried still farther
from that republican equality which
should be the basis of u system of rep
resentation.
A few examples will demonstrate hi:
fact: Take for instance, the county o
Caldwell, with a free white population
of8OO. has the same voice in the coun-
ellis of our state, as Boone would have
with her population of 5000. St.-Lou-
is with her 10000 free white males
would have no more weight or inhu-
cnce in our Legislature, than Au-
drain, with her 500. These COMPARE
sons might be extended farther, but the
above examples are sufficient TO show
the glaring inconsistency of u present
system and the great necessity of a spec
DIV and radical change.

MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE.

We have the proceedings # this body
down to the 7th instant. The House was
Engaged several days in the discussion Of
certain Resolutions Offered by Mr.. Buckley
relative to tho "Choctaw Claims" arising !
under the treaty Of Dancing Babit Creek.
Mr. Bone urged the adoption Of the resolu.
iions, since he had heard Of vast frauds
perpetra,ed upon the Indians and the State
under these claims. Mr. Yerger desired to
see tho matter fully investigated, and i'll
fraud existed that it might be placed upon
the right shoulders, The subject was then
referred TO a selec, committee. On the day
following Mr.. Labauve moved to discharge
the committee and adopt the resolutions
Messrs Yerger and Winchestc urged the
inius.ice Of passing the resolution before
investigation had been accomplished, and
Of chargingfraud upon the claimen.s without
a hearing. A substitute was finally Offered
by Mr. Boone, which passed. 1t irstruc,s
our Senators and requests our representa-
tives to propose repeal of,he law of 1874:
establishing the Board Of Commissioners
toinvestigate the Choc,aw claims--,o desir,
