We sec b. letter in the Mississippial
that a writ Of quo rarranto has been serv
ed on the Commercial bank OF Natche2
The writ is made returnable at the mex
term Of the AiamS county circui. court
commencing the fourth Monday in May
We are informed from an authentic source
tina, The Information and quo trdrrGntO arc
founded up n nine specifications growing
out of violations Of the original charter
and the law Of 1910 regulating banks.
There arc some South Carolina papers
which, having once b,en in favor Of Mr.,
CalhouA for The presidency, upon the with
dfawll of his name, have come out for MIR
Clay. This fac, is frequently Paraded by
the wig press as an evidence of the in.
crelsing strength OF the latter, and some.
times mentioned by the peculiar friends
ofMr Van Buren, as aff,rdlng proof Of an
utfility between tho friends oil Mr.. Clay
and Mr.. Calhoun. Both are at fault
Those papers which since the declination
Of Mr.. Calhoun have espoused the inter-
ests Of Mr.. Clay always were whig papers.
They advocated Mr.. Calhoun, carried a.
way by the public opi"ion the commune
~ which patronisal them. 1t shows no.
thing further than this: That certain whig
papers preferred Mr.. Calhoun as a man to
all other candidates, but upon the with
ilrlwai Of his name they felt at liberty to
q .or some o,hc. maH. Is it a new thing
in the ,litics Of the United States that
there shouli Le some papers as wei! as
persons who always went for men? We
have long been aware Of the fact, and so
NC believe have those who now attempt TO
m IKE capitol out OF this. From conside-
ra,ions ofinterest none.o Of the whig papers,
IN South Carolina, except the Charleston
Courier, dared TO oppose Mr.. Calhoun
When he was no longer q candidate, no.
thing prevented them from relapsing into
tho support of their old fayorite.
We hope that those Van Buren, papers
who have no longer any interest in con.
cealing the true state Of this mllter, since
Mr.. Calhoun is no longer candidate, will
make known the true state Of the facts. 1t
10 nothing but an act Of Justice. We
know that il is hard 10 ask men who have
for some tine Leen in the habit Of misreb-
resenting a certain laing,to contradict their

Boi as soon as they shall have no longer
any use for i, we know that like honest
and high-minded meu, they will proclaim
the state Of the case. We regre. to per-
ceivc that politicians consider 80 much
misrepresentation, so much suppression OF
truth necessary. We regret to see that
the attainment Of the true and the real is
not the object of all editors and politicians; ;
but it is too often the case, to secure an ad-
yocacy Of those things, they must be sep.
nrated from interest.
