GEN'L JACKSON ON ANNEXATION.
The following is an extract OF a letter
from Gen'l Jackson to Mr.. Blair, OF the
Globe. lie rightly views the multiplicity
of plans as designed 10 defeat the measure ;
al observe that YOU have before Con-
gress too many joint resolutions for the re-
annexation of Texas. This argues want
of unanimity in the democracy upon this
great national and most important subject.
| have Just received from Maj. Donaldson
letter, dated at Washington, IN Texas,
from which would infer, that II Congress
| expects to annex Texas 10 the United
States, they must act speedily, or 1t vii
be found to be beyond our grasp. The
rejection of the advances OF Texas has
given offence to some, and handle to
others to press the liberal propositions Of
England upon the Texans, together with
the splendid view of Texas indeOendeni
growing into a vast republic, IN time 10
embrace not only the limits of Texas, bui
all the domain once MOnteZuma's. This
view, to ambitious aspiranis, added TO the
guarantees of England, Of her independ
ence, and the loan Of large sums for ten
years, based upon treaty that English
manufacturers shall be free Of duty, IS
gaining party in Texas. General lious- I
ion is still the leading star; and his infl-
ence alone can be counted upon 10 resist I
the present influence of England and us 4
increasing power. How long this infiu-
ence of England can be withstood in Tex
as Is becoming very questionable matter. f
have taken a view OF the-whole ground, 4
giving TO all information as due weight, 4
and | say to you, that, unless Congress
acts upon this subject promptly. Texas
will be beyond our grasp, and lost to The
United States forever, unless regained by I.
the sword. What will be the situagi a OF .
our country, with British manufactures
introduced duty free into Texas Com
ment Is unnecessary.
81 hazard nothing IN saying thar, II tue
present Congress do not act promptly up
on this subject, the next viii DOT have tie
power. The consent of Mexico cannot
then be obtained. Great Britain will have
laid her lions paw upon her, and bound
her by treaty.
81 am exhausted; but, from Maj. Don
aldson's letter, and other sources OF infor-
nation, the danger of losing Texas seemed I
so imminent, although feeble, could not
forbear to say this much to you, that YOU
might communicate II to my friends" ia

Of The Mssissippan takes an occa-
sional very il!-natured fling at South Caro-
lima, and her great statesman. If MIR. Cal
houn, or the people of his State, exhibit an
incorporate zeal in their political feelings
and distrust Of politicians, it will become
enough known through wing papers, with
out the Intervention of the democratic press
especially of Southern democratic papers.
1t is not to be denied that South Carolina
takes the lead in defence of Southern rights
and institutions, and right CALAMITY and
nobly do her sons battle for the interests of
the whole South. The ronical structures
OF the Missssippian on garbled extracts
from the message of Gov. Hammond, some
time since, struck us as very illiberal and
unjust. The editors seem to chronicle
with avidity every manifestation of "disu.
nlon," or disloyalty to the democratic par
ty' in South Carolina, but we have not seen
that they have "opened the walls of their
wrath" upon those who are daily ayowinp
sentiments of disunon in Massachusetts
Vermont, &c. Have they no indignant
comment for the MULTIPLYING, anti-Texas re-
solutions of the wing legislature of Ohio ?
where sleep their thunders when Massa.
chuSet'S declares that holding Texas
shall not be admitted! What became Of
their satire when Gov. Sade declared tho,
Vermont would not submit to the annexo-
ton ! Here are three multiplying, disunion
wing States let the Mssissippian fall on
to them, 81 like thousand of brick on
quart Jug" and leave poor little South Ca
roLina' with her cart-load of muskets and
handful Of raw militia, which it SO funnilv
described, to the tender mercies Of tho
wing papers.

Carrollton, January 81, 1914.

OF We insert the call for Democratic
meeting in this beat, at the request of Sc
veral friends. We also insert the commu
nication of "Cato," in relation to the Coun.
ty Convention. Wethink it would be bet.
ter TO hold the beat meetings on different
days, as might be most convenient, and
the county convention in April as first sug-
gested, that there may be no ground for
charging improper haste, and want of no.
tice in the preliminary movements. Will
our friends in the other beats consult and
determine upon suitable time for holding
their meetings, and give notice of them !?
Every democrat in the county knows and
feels that thorough and efficient organiza-
ton is essential to success-and what de-
mocrat is there that will not manifest sufi-
clent interest in the matter to effect this
organization!

1HE UNIvERsITY.-The Board of Trus-
ices organized recently at Jackson, by the
election of Hon'l A. NJ. CLAYTON as Prosi-
dent. We learn by the Jackson papers
that the edlfices will be commenced as soon
as the State Treasury is in a condition to
pony up" the sos 900 and interest dine
the college fund. For the benefit of naw
corners, we will state that the College is To-
Gated at Oxford, Lafayette CO. by act of the
Legislature. A very large sum of money
was known as the Seminary Fund.- but
where the most of it has gone to, no man
knoweth with certainty. A special com.
missioner is now looking for it and some
rusty old clod-hoppers in the Legislature
have conjectured that the money was
siuandered in champagne 'ssprees'' by the
sWeIled-head favorites of the Planters,
Bank, and some of the whIome dignita-
rles OF the State. "From the lights before
u.s. we incline to the belief that these old
codgers conjecture rightly. But they should
mind, or they will tread on somebody's ten
der toes, or at least wound the tender sem
slbllltles of some of the aforesaid dionito-
ries or swelled- heads.

The SrATEsMAN.-We see by the lasr
number that Mr.. R. S. Stith has Withdrawn
flom this paper, and that the establishment
is to be removed to Greenwood, on the va.
ZOO, where it will be continued by Mr.. E.
l.. Travis. We should be thought insin-
cere were we to express any regret at the
removal of our neighbor. We wish him
much pecuniary success in his new loca-
ton. Greenwood is destined to be the
most important town on the Yazoo; there
are already some twelve or fifteen mercan.
tile houses, some of which do a heavy bu-
siness, and the establishment of press
will be of much benefit in making known
It's advantageous position. Large class
steamboats, trade from Greenwood TO New
Orleans an average of six months in the
year. With newspaper, and a good road
through the swamp, the Landing will soon
be sc place."

DEMOCRATIC REvIEw.-We are indebted
TO friend for the loan of the January No
of this work. The leading paper is in re
ation TO Slavery. The writer regrets tina
Mr.. Calhoun should have assumed the re-
sponsbility of nationatxiag the question
and abiding TO the rescision of the 25th
rule, expresses the opinion that the aboli-
ton excitement will soon assume formid.
able Importance. He recommends that the
District of Columbia be again ceded to the
States OF Virginia and Maryland. Most Of
the articles are of literary character. II
it be not presumptuous in a backwoods
country scribber to speak freely of the me-
rits and dement's of the Review, we would
suggest to the editor that in future he dis
card from his pages such stuff as the story
of The Ghost of New York." and the
Family Flatterers." Leave such to the
gingerbread ladies books.

fusion to the debt Of Pennsylvania, and the

The opinion of the Review, that

half column is devoted to national affairs.
TO which he alludes in a remarkably mild

confidence in the coming administration.
No direct allusion is made TO the Texas
question, but the Governor expresses the
opinion thai there is no probability of a
war with any country. The message IS
one OF the most concise, comprehensive
and business-lke documents we have ever
seen, honorable alike to the distinguished
author--a pure and virtuous salesman
and to the people of the Empire State
whose service he adorns.
