ENGLISH OPINION OF AMERICAN BANK.

II is, we fear, impossible to effect The sup

very well, provided the banks choose 10

stir regarding the conduct of certain
Capt. Hunt, at the Society islands.
The correspondent of the Journal of

I" Manufacturers are querulous for re-
duction Of the duty on coton--it will be
effected, and undoubtedly made merely no.

Mr.. F. C. JONES:
Sr-The notice of beat meeting to be
held in your town, which was published in
the last number of your paper, has elicit
ed considerable discussion among the peo-
pie, and believe that majority of them
are decidedly opposed TO the system, and
nearly all oppose it on the same grounds,
to-wit: That it will be necessary to make
compromises in the nomination of candi-
dates, which instructed delegates could not
make with any certainty Of representing
the views of their constituents. 1t is fur
Their argued, that it is more democratic for
all the citizens to assemble in a general
mass meeting, where the views of every
man may be heard and considered by his
party, and that such thing as political
representation should never exist where
there is no clear necessity for it; and that
in this case no such necessity exists-that
all parts of the county will be represented
at Carrollton on the first Moundy in April
next, by true and honest democrats, who
can speak for themselves without the I'M
necessary aid of delegates. 1t is further
insisted that nominations made by mass
meeting will be better understood and more
zealously supported, as no suspicion Of
unfairness can attach to such a body, and
no democrat who remains at home can
complain that his views have not been
met. | expect to be at your meeting, and
hope that every democrat who can con-
veniently attend will do so, and freely ex-
press his opinions Oh the subject. know
that your meeting was called in good faith
and that those who made the call will rea-
Oily abandon its objects, if they should be
convinced that mass meeting would bo
preferable. | am of opinion that not only
the policy bat even the justice of nomi-
mating candidates for mere county Offices
is exceedingly questionable.
Yours, truly.

MISSISSIPPI WISE EXAMPLE FOLLOW
ED.-Goy. Wright of Now York recon-
mends an amendment of the Constitution
prohibiting the borrowing of money I'M
less the law for the purpose is previously
submitted to :he people and receives their
sanction. The new State of Iowa has
adopted the same feature in her Constitu-
ton. Louisiana will do the same by her
present Convention; and we have no
doubt most of the States will sooner or la
ter follow suit by the adoption of so wise
a check to improvident and corrupt legis-
latures. We beg to ask however, what
earthly good can such provisions do, it
notwithstanding their violation. "honor
and dignity"-as some of our citizens in
sist here-compel the payment of debts
otherwise contracted, any how. OF what
benefet can the provision be unless it is
enforced? Be assured that Mississippi re-
pudiation, much as it has been misunder-
stood and abused. is truly the GROWING
honor of Constitutional Republicanism,
and is destined TO be the bulwark of the
people in more States than one against the
bargaining OF corrupt men in power.

Gov. WRIGHT.-The New York PIE
6tian so well embodies our opinions of
this distinguished gentleman, in the fol-
lowing extract, that we cannot refrain
from copying it,
All accord to Silas Wright great pow
ers of mind. His intellect IS rather logi-
cal than brilliant. He reasons with much
clearness upon all subjects that he pre-
fesses to understand. But he never BRAN
ches out into the discussion of new truths,
or takes single step in advance of popu-
lar opinion. He moves with the popular
current, and leaves it TO bolder minds to
advance new and untried theories. Pos
sessing much knowledge of human nature,
his keen judgment never allows him to
oppose a new measure, or to advocate it,
until there is some evidence, at least, that
the particular measure will be sustained by
the majority. In other words, Silas Wright
is never behind or in advance of the age.
Thong h possessing uncommon logical pow.
ers, he never will be instrumental in the
development of new truths; but will give
them a powerful support after they are
sanctioned by public opinion.
