THE BRISCOE BILL

Was introduced by Gen. BriScoe because
upon application being made to the Ciai-
borne Circuit Court, federal Wing Judge
iCoalter) refused TO allow an information
TO be filed against bank in Claiborne,
thereby lavoring fraudulent corporation,
and disregarding the laws Of the land.
This bill merely proposes 10 make The
courts do their duty, and enforce the law
as it stood when the bank charters were
granted. We defy any man TO point out
a word in it about releasing debtors, or IN
structing the courts what judgment they
are TO pronounce. II merely secures a fair
trial under the law of the contract, leaving
the courts to say, aud expound what the
law is. Now what is, and what has been
that law from time immemorlal. "Accor-
ding TO the settled lac of the land upon
tie ciUa death of corporation all It's real
estate remaining unsold, reveTts back to the
original grantor or his heirs. The debts
due to and from he corporation are all
erlinguished. Neither The Stockholders,
nor the directors, or trustees of the COTpO-
ration can recoUer those debts, or be char
Ced with them in their natural capacity.
An the personal estate Of the corporation
rests in The PEOPLE."-2ud Kent Com.
2i6, PIT.
This is American authority undoubted,
and rs favorable to corporations as any
ever published in America, always quoted
by Bank Attorneys, and their agents as the
highest in questions Of law known IN the
country. I'VE would then ask what right
has.lhe Legislature TO vote away TO fraud
ulent Stockholders, and the Jews Brokers
aud swindlers who have bought up the
depreCiated Bank paper, properly which
according 10 their own book, has VESTED

That a private cooperation is a contract be-
tween the corporators aud the government,
and that Il cannot be impaired or altered IS
Bank Attorney law which every man IN

the goose is sauce for the gander. Fair play
and no gougng. Enforce the contracts against
us. but at the same time enforce the contracts
which the Banks made against them. Let all
stand alike under the law as il existed when the
bargains were made by the Banks with the
people, and by the people with the banks. This
is all we ast--this we have rightto ask.
This is the argument of the Briscoeites Quo
Warranto is only democratic measure, as it
brushes the banks We wanted to crush them
in 1910 We tried repeal. The Courts treat
ed us with contempt They have said that
quo warranto they would sustain. They have
taught us that quo warranto as efectually crush.
es the banks as repeal We have taken them
at their word. All the Democracy were for
repeal of charters in 1870. All the Dcmocra.
cy should be in favor of quo warranto in l845.
It's democratic measure because it a,tains
democratic end-the destruction Of tie Banks.
But Guions amendment is not democratic
measure. 1t keeps the Banks on their legs to
fauen lawyers, assignees, marshals, sheriHS,
constables, and collecting attorneys the last de-
scription ofpersons being race of animals one
degree above the town constable, and fifty de-
grees beIowthe faithful watchdog which guards
his masters house at night.
Let the Democracy of the East stand where
they did in 1910 Let their cry be now, as
then, woe to the Banks Their cry was then
woe to the Banks, law or no law, on American
principles, on the principles OF the constitution,
and they were right but now they can gain
their object according to law. Will they not
then unite with US and say sncet the courts will
not enforce the reueal of charters as they ought
to do but since they have pointed US TO a mode
equally ciItctiye--then woe to the Banks occ0r.
ding 10 law Who are to be injured? | will
will tell yon The brokers, spectators, Jews,
and stock .jobbers, who have bought up the de-
prcciatsd paper at from TO 80 cents in the dol
lar. They bought on speculation; their only
motive. Nearly all oilhem took the Bankrupt
law and started fresh; would ii be democratic
fairness that they should receive ten times what
they give and the small borrowers lose all after
paying ten times,as much as they ought? Let
collections go on and this deprecated paper will
run up to nearly par to the Iattening ofthe most
worthless part Of mankind, and the ruin ofth
most meri,orious. JACKSON.

A Heather Temple.-The Rev. Eugene
Kincaid for years a missionary IN ile Bur
man Empire, has recently returned 10 hls
country. aud is now leclnTlng on the con-
diton Of the heather, TO crowded audlo-
res. In one Of his resent dIscourSeS, he
described a heather temple, which we
have never seen paralleled. II stands IN
the city of Arva, or the golden city; which,
for six hundred years, has been the capital
ofthe Burmese Empire. The foundations
ofthis temple are of solid masonry, com
posed OF bricks of the best materials. It's
two thousand feet square, the walls being
eight feet thick and seventy feet high. On
the top of the walls rests two rows Of mas
sive pillars. At each corner of the walls
rises beautiful Spire. On the top Of each
spire is placed shuge bar OF iron, surmoun-
ting which is an iron network ten feet In
diameter, in the shape Of a spread umbrel-
Ia. On the bottom edge Of this ere sus-
pended bells Of every size aud tone. A
piece e bright copper is attached 10 every
clapper, so arranged that when the wind
is strong, every bell is set ringing.
On the top Of this temple Is second one,
one hundred and City feet square, aud City
feet high and on each corner rises beau
uful tower, with its compliment Of bells.
On the top ofthis second, stands third
temple, one hundred and twenty feet
square, aud thirty feet high, each corner
having lis tower and bells; and surmoun-
ting this third is q fourth and last temple,
ssveuty-five feet square and ten tect high,
each corner also having It's spire and bells.
From the top Of this fourth temple ascends
a magnificent spire, with an immense iron

"A Nation shall be born IN a day.
This is the language OF Inspiration; aud,
whatever may bethe particular event which
was anticipated by the prophet, the predic-
ton itself has been literally fulfilled in our
own country. The nativity of the United
States is familiar to every inhabitnnt ofthe
territory as the memorable occurrence of
the 4th Of July, l776; on that day a nation
was born; fostered during the early strug
giles ofitS existence by the selfsacri6cing
and voluntary pat1otismo an heroic band,
and baptiSed, as IL were, with the blood Of
martyrs in the cause ofhnman liberty, that
nation soon stood forth Disseminated from
the fatal embrace of an unnatural parent,
the young champion oflreedom. Her CA
reer, from that day, has been onward, stead
lily progressing through evi'and through
good report sustained by the first princi-
pies from which she derived her existence,
until she has attained an eminence second
10 none upon the habtable globe. And a
glance into the future only puzzles the i'm
aginalion 10 conceive the extent of magni-
tude and power which she is destined 10 a.
quire. Such IS the character, in brief, Of
his nation, born in a day.
"The United States is the phenomenon
ofthe age; indeed, the whole history ofour
national career is a political anomaly, when
viewed in comparison with the history Of
nations ofancient or Of modern times, max
ing acquisitions ofglory and strength by
every Characteristic ofour economy which
least resembles those ofothers. The late
events which have threatened 70 bring us
into conflict with neighboring country,
IN themselves peculiar 10 the benevolent
and comprehensive purposes Of those insii-
buttons which can exist only in active and
practical effect, have elected, for the con
temptation ofthe world, some very Sink
ing features ofthe American character. and

cnlable amount Of physical energy. War

For the True Democrat.

A protracted meeting Of the Baptist Church
in Quitman, in the county Of Clark, commenc-
ed on the 9th instant and continued until the
18th, in the evening, during which time four
teen members were added to the Church, thr-
teen were baptised, and one received by letter.
The preaching was conducted at the commence
mcnt by Parsons Bowen, Carter, Willis and
Brady After the first two days, Parson Car
ter LEFT us, to attend to other appointments after
having preached several able and interesting
sermons. Great credit is due TO the zeal and
energy of the preaehers-especially to Parson
Bowen, who labored with the church all the
while, with that logical argument, combined
with the most powerful eIoquence for which he
is so much famed, which captivates the mind,
and rivets the attention Of his hearers. The
Church at Quman was established in May,
l843, with only nine members. Parson Bow
en- has been their experimenting preacher all
the time up to this date. The church now
nDnbers fily-fiyc with fine prospect Of fur
ther speedy ana RAPID Increase.
Our little village of Quitman is rapidly in.
creasing in population, and is now one of the
most mora! and flourishing towns in East Mis-
sissippi. We have five stores, three taverns
three doctors and three lawyers, located here;
two churches, and a Female Academy, which
is 10 commence on the first Monday in October
next We have engaged the services of Miss
ELIZABETH TERRELL in our Academy, who
is one of the most literary end accomplished la
dies in the State. Board may be had for young
ladies on reasonable terms, and as Quitman is
one of the heahhiest and most moral towns in
the Eastern part of Mississippi, those who have
daughters to educate could not send them TO a
better pace-for be it said TO the great praise Of
Quitman that there has not been any man killed
there as yet, but peace and harmony predomi-
mates in the breast of every one With such
happy state of things our town must and will
flourish. A CITIZEN.

more; each village and hamlet little COM
pany, eager for the Fray Love of country
under the bright auspices offreedom, seems
quckened TO passion no less fervld than
the love of life; aud halowed By a genlei
humanity, which promptsa welcometo the
stranger from every land, inviting him TO
an equality in all the privileges aud bless
ings of our civil poIily, and permanent
and peaceful abode in our midst, the spirit
of American patriotism has no likeness IN
any other part of the world. 1t is indigo
nous and peculiar to the soil; and any at
tempt to pervert its true principles, to
change its nature, TO restrict aud conhne
its liberal spirit, is TO violate and dlstort It's
natural beauty, disturb the harmony oil lis
action, enervate IFS power, and deprive IL oil
the main elements of perpctuity. 1t was
the boast of favorite poet, slaves cannot
breathe in England;' it should be our boast
here, that none but Americans lite with US;
that the son of foreign soil should have no
cause to feel that he is foreigner himself.
Having made his abode with us, he should
have every inducement 10 become united
with us; and what must be the conSe-
quence? Why, an expected call arms al
though the clarion has not sounded yet,
brings forth ready for the field, side by side,
our adopted brethren with The citizen by
birth; aud it is only in this harmony and
closest sympathy of blended interests we
can view the physical strength of the land.
Thus united thus compacted ina common
brotherhood and political affinity, we have
no foe to fear And in few years hence,
with the advantages ofnatura position, we
shall command power equivalent to the
world in arms. 'n-BaH. Sun.

NeU and fearful mode Of ETecWion.--
1t appears from the journal of an European
traveller, that new and frightlu mode of
execution has been adopted by the Great
MoguI. The instrument and the process
are thus described:
"a box, each side of which is fifteen feet
square is constructed OF solid timber, eigh-
teen inches thick, dovetailed together aud
braced with iron rods. The outside the
bottom of the box is covered with plate
of beaten iron, one inch in thickness. The
interior is filled with cubes of granite,
weighing in the aggregate several thous'
and IONS. A machine is erected after the
manner ofan ordinary pile driver, but OF
course Of enormous scale, and OF tremen-
deous strength. The mass is raised by the
means of powerful machinery cast in Biz
mineham for the express purpose; though
it is to be presumed that the machinesi, by
whom the work was finished had no idea
ofthe horrible purpose for which it was in
tended. The human victim is placed up
on a block of granite of correspondent
surface, buried in the earth Immediately
beneath the enormous mass. and likewise
covered with plate of iron. AT signal
ofthe acramadack theexeculi0ner touches
a spring. The mass falls! and the victim,
crushed at once, is suddenly annihilated,
and spread out like sheet of pasteboArd.
The huge weight being again raised, the
flattened body is Withdrawn and dried in
the sun. When completely prepared, it is
hung upon the walls of a public building,
there TO serve as a warning 10 the multi
tude."
