MEETING AND BARBECUE AT SHcNGALo.-
A numerous meeting of the citizens OF the
Southeastern portion of the county, was
held at Shongalo on Friday last. Some do
zen or more candidates addressed the peo-
pie, all of whom were profuse in promises
TO the voters, and lavish of compliments to
the ladies. Messrs. Kennedy and NELL,
democratic nominees for the Legislature,
were in attendance. Maj. Neill addressed
the meeting for short time, on sundry to-
pics of State policy, Withholding any allu-
sion to the party issues. 1t had been an
nounced that Walker Brooke, Esq, wing
candidate for Congress, would attend and
speak, and, in anticipation of meeting him,
the Hon. Jacob Thompson was induced to
deviate from his route, and was present,
ready to meet Mr.. Brooke, or any other
champion of whiggery worthy of his steel,
who should present hostile 'front.' But
neither Mr.. Brooke nor any other advocate
of whggery appeared, and Mr.. t. declined
speaking.
An excellent and bounteous dinner was
provided by the hospitality of the citizens
of the neighborhood, and the day passed
off pleasantly and agreeably.

SECRETARY WALKER.-We some weeks
ago noticed that Mr.. Walker had been
charged, among others, with receiving the
constructive mileage" at the close OF the
last session of Congress. Under the err
cumsiances (Mr. Walker having been no
minated as a cabinet officer the first day OF
the Executive session, and having IN hrs
pocket the commission for his successor
he would have been peculiarly rePrehen-
sible; and we are glad, for the credit OF
our State and our party, to meet with the
sublolned authoritative contradiction OF the
charge from the Washington Union. As TO
the other charges, {" Native Amerieanism
and religious bigory,'') We never heard
that such accusations or limitations were
made against the Secretary; and our own
impression is, that these latter accusations
are but things of straw, manufactured oy
the venerable editor, the unenviable knight
OF the seven stars, 10 be @ brushed away"
to the glori6cation and benefit OF the Sc
cretary. We hope the gaion will so a step
farther, and let the country know who did
and who did not receive mileage for ina
ginary nocturnal trips home and back; and
that the mex. time it gets in commuaica-
tive mood. 1t will tell US what Dir. Walker
has done with that Senatorial commission,
and Mr. Jacob Thompson's private letter
"We may as well here brush away some
Of the other charges against Mr.. Walker
which have been urged from other quar-.
ters. Ii has been intimated that he re
ceived his mileage as a Senator at the spe.
cial session in March last. He respect.

or impied) of others, declined receiving
any portion of the mileage. He is chaTg,
ed with "Natiye Americanism' in IN
| principles Mr.. Walker has always op
posed this heresy; and when II was al
tempted in the Senate 10 prolong the tern
of naturalization, he encountered the pro-
iect by introducing a bill to re1ure tbs
term of naturalization to twO years, a:
originally fixed in the first law upon thI
subject during the administration OF Gen
Washington. He has also, as Secretary
of the Treasury, conferred several ap
pointments on naturaliZed citizens. IL l.
lastly, intimated that he is a 8 bigot IN re
ligion." II is true that Mr.. Walker, 4
an early period of his life, expressed ;
preference (which remains unchanged) II
favor of the Methodist church, but he /
no bigot He has appointed men OF al
religious denominations to ofiice--Catho

0aF Hon'l JACOB THOMPSON delivered an
eloquent and forcible speech at the court
house on Thursday last. He passed in ra-
pid review the leading measures which will
come before the next Congress for its &C
ton, and pledged himself, if reelected,
again to be found among the representa-
tives of the great popular party, assisting
to establish the permanent ascendancy of
democratic principles. He spoke of the
reduction and adjustment of the Tariff as
one of the fundamental grounds of differ
ence among the politicians of the country,
showed the distinction between Revenue
and Protective Tariff, and declared that,
although every change will be contested,
step by step, by the recipients of the plum
der of the present system, and the deluded
victims of their sophistry and fasehoods,
he had no doubt that modification of its
most odious features, if not its final adjust
ment on revenue principles, would be eff
fected by the commanding democratic ma
iorites in both branches. He spoke of the
/ OLD ISSUE III THIS GtdL6-d ANdtiOHdA jain
as having become, by the confession of al
most all its advocates, an obsolete idea all
the arguments in its support having been
exploded by facts and experience even
! whilst they were being repeated; he de-
nounced the Bank, the Protective system
the Distribution scheme, and the late ac-
ton of Congress throwing the Post Office
department upon the treasury, as links in
the same chain, tending to the same end
the oppression of the many for the benef
of the few.
| Mr.. Thompson made no allusion to the
subjects embraced in his late published
Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1845-09-24

o. The Secretary of the Treasury late
ly addressed circular, embracing some
fifty interrogatories, to the leading business
men and manufacturers of the country,
with a view to elicit facts in regard to the
operation of the Tariff law, to be laid be-
fore Congress at the coming session. Dread
ing the exposure of the details of this sys-
tenn OF legal plumber, which is inevitable,
the tariff papers, from Maine to Texas,
have raised hue and cry against the Sc
cretary, and his manner of collecting in
formation. The most hypercritical charg-
es and lugubrious wailings are in turn
vented against the circular, al of which
are too fiimsy for serious consideration
The tarifiites will find themselves in the
next Congress in about the same condition
as Mr.. Clay described his opponents at the
memorable hard-cider session of 1841;-
[" like criminals in a cart with halters about
their necks, vide Clay's speech.] And
the facts to be ELECTED by the circular, will
hasten the execution of the popular SEN
tence of condemnation.

for the establishment of system of Com
mon Schools in this State, which IS publish

will copy in our next. The subject is one
of paramount importance, and we rejoice

Of his station, to assist in the good work.

remarks of the Gov. in relation 10 the cele
brated certificate of Sam. Matthews, which
he construed into an assault upon :" the
whole Matthew's family said that M'Nutt
dared not repeat his remarks in Marshall
county, or in that section of the State. He
represented the Gov. as attacking and de-
flaming absent men, himself their travelling
champion, and asserted that he (MNutt)
would be perfectly mum about the Mat
thews family, as soon as they reached the
Northern counties. Gen F. went farther.
and pledged himself that if his competitor
repeated his attacks upon the Matthews's,
and especially upon 10: Commonly called

naediately abandon the canUass and go home,

cur that Gov. M'Nutt repeated all he had
said, and more too, at Holly Springs. But
Gen. Foote did not keep his explicit pledge,
nor have we heard that he has made his
competitor any reparation for the unjust
imputation with which he prefaced the
pledge. We are in nowise anxious lex
