Cotton Market as being in a dull and ta'
condition. The sales for the week ending

ces they were effected at a decline OF td'
From Wilmer & Smiths European Times
we make the following extract
"The cotton market remains in droop-
ing condition, the sales of the week ending
the Ilth having only amounted to 10, '5O
bales. Purchases have in consequence
been made in partial instances at u decline
of 4d., but in view of the limited nature OF
the business, holders still maintain re-
markable degree of frmness."
Advices as to the extent of the crop in
the United States the present season, are
looked for with great degree of anxiety
in the foreign markets. Some accounts re-
port there is scarcely any probability of a
revival unless it is The prospect of short
crop.
There has been rise in the foreign
Grain Market. All doubt as regards the
prospects have been removed, and tits now
ascertained that there will be a considera.
bic failure.
The railway schemes are the interesting
and all absorbing topics. The London
newspapers are crowded with their adver-
tisements, and some ofthe proprietors, it is
stated, realize for their publication $4,000

The people of Ireland are greatly agi-

to occupy. Newspaper scribblers who
aim at no other noteriety but that which at.

dulge in scurioas abuse (screened fire.
quently from responsibility by the depth of
inamy to which they have descended)
would be compelled to seek some other vo.
cation, and cease to abuse the patience Of
the community.
We are glad to perceive reform in the

moving rapidly on, and we trust the day is
not far distant when all its impurities may
be purged, its evils eradicated, and its stan

HoN. JOHN C. CALHoUN.-Wc have

when they are fairly beaten? We tell
them, once for all, thar the party in this
country which attempts TO rally against the
full recognition of Texas as a sister State
by our next Congress, is, from that moment,
a dead party, and belongs to the things that
hare been. The loud, solemn, aulhorita.
tive voice Of the country has settled the
great Texan issue forever. The most in.
elligent wings Of Massachusetts have
shown that they know this to be true"
The Yazoo Democrat., 1845-11-12

The ELECTIoN.-So far as the election
returns have been received, they promise
a large and increased democratic majorit,
in this State. The people have fully main
tanned the doctrines they expressed in cast
ing their suffrages for the democratic can
didates the last presidential contest. Our
State will be ably and faithfully represen-
ted in the next Congress. It seems the
wings did not unite upon candidate for
Governor in opposition to the present talen-
Ted and efficient incumbent, Gov. Brown.
In somo counties they voted for Isaac n.
Davis Of Panola, and in others for COL
COOpwood Of Monroe. Never has a con-
test been attended with more brilliant and
satisfactory results to the democracy. The
returns so far are very scattering and in
complete. So soon as we receive the en-

improvements inthose sections ofthe Union
some of which are Of local, others, and
most Of them, of highly National charac-

precisely and particularlythe different wants
of the different portions Of the great Missis-
sippi Valley, that they may urge upon Con-
gress the claims ofthis portion ofthe Union,
which have been too long and too greatly
neglected. Therefore.
Resolved, That we concur entirelyin the
feelings otthe great Valley of the Missis'
sippi, in the importance ofthis Convention,
and in their estimate ofthe magnitude and
Importance oftho objects for which this Con-
vention is called.
Resolved, In our oPinion Congress has
most shamefully neglected the South and
West, in its appropriations to works OF Ma
tional Importance.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this
meeting, the connection Of the Mississippi
river with the great South Carolina and
Georgia Rail Road, is of the most vital i'm
portance to the South and West, and should
be urged upon the consideration OF Con-
gress at its next session.
Resolved, That in the opinion OF this
meeting, the improvement of the navigation
of the Western rivers of vast Importance
in developing the resources ofthe country
Resolved, That we believe ship canal
should be constructed by Congress, from
some eligible point on the Mississippi river
to Lake Michigan, as the surest means OF
defence to that portion Of the Union which
borders on the Great Lakes.
Resolved, That it is the opinion Of this
meeting that, as Mr., WHITNEY pro-
poses to construct Rail Road from the
Lakes to the Pacifc-provided Congress
will make him grant of wild and other.
wise useless land on the route, which lands
are to revert to Congress if the road is not
completed-in view ofthe immense benefit
it will be not only to the West and South,
but the whole Union, and we may add
even the whole world it is our opinion the
Convention should urge upon Congress the
propriety of making said grant at their en-
suing session.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this
meeting the Convention should urge upon
the Southern and Western members of
Congress the propriety Of giving their uni
ted support to these measures, at their next
session.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this
meeting that the press in the West and
South, without distinction fparty, should
keep this subject constantly before the
people.
Resolved, That we consider it duty to
be represented in that body.
Resolved Therefore, That a committee
Of five be appointed, who shall attend said
Convention and participate in its delibera-
tions.
The chair appointed on said committee
Messrs. w. S. Grayson and J. NJ. Sharp.
and Doctors Wilkinson, Rhorer and Nc
Murtry, D. F. Bates.
On motion, the chairman was also add
ed to the committee.
On motion, the Yazoo Banner and va

proceedings of this meeting.
