cOvcry. Electricity is used 10 force the
growth of crops, gloves swift messenger"
The lightning, is harnesscd to wires 10 con-
vey the news, and the rays Of light made
10 impress the most exact likeness Of the
"humsn form divine" in an instant. Other
new and astonishing discoveries are almost
daily announced in the scientific world--of
course with an occasional admixture Of
humbuggery. In the political world, too,
the march OF improvement Is onward, but
i may admit Of question whether IN the
discoveries political humbuggery does not
predominant. II is now generally conced-
ed that the method Of annullng the divine
command 'by the sweat of thy brow shalt
thou cat thy Bread by issuing promises to
pay, Of enrIching the people by paper mo-
ney, and Of onriehing the government by
the issue OF bonds, and the creation OF
public debt, is most unauthorized decep-
tion---only surpassed by tho exploded delu-
sion that tyrants rule as vicegerenis Of God
"by right divine" But to descend from
leading gonerallties to small PARTICULARS
A few weeks ago the editor Of the wing
paper at Jackson made tho discovery that
tho friends Of Gov. M'Nutt, Tor the editors
who have expressed preference for that
gentleman as a candidate for Senator had
conspiYod together with mutual UNDER
slanding that the political fortunes Of Sc
cretary Walker arc 10 be prostraIed, 10 Sc
cure the advancement Of M'Nut. Why
this Is necessary, or how Mr.. Walker being
in the Treasury Department can possibly
impede the advancement Of M'Nuti to the
Senate, the editor does not dcign to tell his
readers But he has discovered a conspi-
racy, and he " belches it OUT in manner
which would BIO amusing, were It not so
silly. The Southron's "conspirators" have
always been warm supporters of Mr.. Walk
err but have thought it their duty to speak
Of his conduct in recent transaction in
what all honest men would consider merit
ed terms of censure. Tho wing editor,
having no conception Of honest motives
in speaking of the conduct OF political as
sociates, at once discovers conspiracy
land sets about giving the details,) which
has no existence but in his fruitful and YER
dant Imagination.
The Oxford Organizer makes another dis
covery, quite as silly, and twice as face
tious, as the Southron's. In an article
styled " the under-current," the editor of
that interesting sheet makes out, evidently
TO his own satisfaction, that the friends Of
M'Nutt are striving to effect the Repuda-
ton of the Planters Bank bonds and that
this is the moving motive of the "radical
democrats"-(a designaton applied to those
who act on principle, in contradistinction
TO those who have no opinions, but who la
Dor for the aggrandizement Of politicians)-
in urging the election Of M'Nutt to the Sc
nate. To an ordinary mind, this would
seem rather curious way 10 effect the re-
pudiaton Of the Planters bonds. Perhaps
the 4" wise-acre" will next discover that if
M'Nutt is elected, lie will introduce ga
bill for the Reputation of the Planters
Bank bonds of the State Of Mississippi" in
to the National Senate. We advise the
bond-paying editor TO join the patriot wing
band in his neigh boring county Of Ponola,
who have resolved that all the bonds shall
DO paid, and drop the subject. The agita-
ton of the bond questions, Planters or
Union, will be productive Of no benefit to
his favorites. When an attempt is made
to pay the Planters Bank bonds, by taxa
ton of the people, tho question may be APP
propriately raised, and our Oxford cotem-
porary have ample opportunity to advocate
the interests OF tho fundmongers--a task
for which he seems impatiently eager.
These political I" discoveries" in small
way, are fair samples Of the warfare now
waged against the veteran M'Nutt. We
regret that men calling themselves demo-
Gratis should resort 10 such expedents.--
Admitting the accusation most relied on
against Gov. M'Nutt, In all its length and
breadth, and what does Il amount tot Sim
ply that he was not, in the early part of the
Il Presidential canvass, SO enthusiastically ar
dent for annexation, as was--say Judge
Hutchinson, or our humble self. And this
accusation, founded on hearsay, g impress
, sions" and inferences,s is brought for
ward and magnihed BY men most Of whom
! have been often found acting and voting
8 with our opponents, and whose newborn
zeal would ostracise the old and faithful
advocates Of our principles, and adherents
(. Of the party. The mass Of the people will
. understand the scheming Of tho allied for
! ces Of men having but one principle land
