HoSoRs To GENERAL JACKSON.

The display in Philadelphia, in memo-
ry of GENT Jackson, was grand and imPO-
sing beyond description. The volunteer
military companies of the city and adjOln-
ing counties, numbering $500 headed the
procession; then came the various 6ene-
VIOLENT societies, trades union, fire compa-
MES, &c. &C., to the number Of several
thousands; followed by an immense ca
valcade of citizens. The flags of the MI
litary and the emblems of the different so
cieties were shrouGed in Grape, and fes-
toons of mourning were hung in the win
dows and balconies Of the houses along
the line of the procession. All business
was suspended, and the citizens univsr-
sally joined in paying the last tribute Of
respect to the iIlustrious deceased II IS
estimated that l30, 600 persons witnessed
the procession. The eulogy was pro
nounced by George NJ. Dallas, Vice Pre-
sident of the United States. Such a gor-
geous pageant, ard such a general mani
festation of popular feeling, was never Be
fore witnessed IN the city.

WING CoNvENT1oN.-It seems definitely
agreed upon that the wings will hold a
Convention at Jackson, on the 5th of Au-
gust, for the nomination of State officers.
A correspondent of the Southron, in view
of the forlorn condition of coonery, recon-
mends that opposition be made to only a
portion Of the ticket, allowing Gov. Brown,
Messrs. Davis and Thompson, and Clark
and Hemingway to walk over the course.
He is evidently green 'un," and his
suggestions will not be needed. Week
pect to see full ticket nominated, headed
by Davis, of Ponola, for Governor, Pat:
Tompkins and Mr.. Stark, of Columbus, fol
Congress. The average democratic majo-
rity in the State will probably reach eigh
thousand, will certainly exceed six-rathei
than cavil about it, well put it down a
even seven thousand.

in my opinion the liberal feelings Of 4 ge-

or The circumstances attending the
appointment of a boy from Philadelphia,
who had never been IN this State, as ca
Diet at the National Academy, from Missis-
sippi, created much excitement in the State
Convention. We are told that it was a
piece of "Nepctism" on the part of Hon'l
r. J. Walker. The STRIPPING had the good
luck to be "a relative of Bob Walkers
wife," hence his preference, although liv-
ing in another State, over the youth of our
own State, who cannot boast the distin-
gu;shed good fortune of such {" high con-
nexions." Verify, Mr.. Walker fixes the af-
fairs of this little State to his own liking /!

OF We publish on the first page Jeffer-
son Davis's letter on the Briscoe Bill The
letter was published before the nominations
were made by the Convention. Mr.. Davis
loses sight of the main argument relied PIP
on by some of the friends of this measure.
He confines himself to the abstract cues
ton Of the right and justice of releasing
bank debtors from their obligations, with
out a word as to the actual condition Of
the broken down corporations. Men who
are equally as disinterested as Mr.. Davis,
and who have the best means of knowing,
assert that the assets OF the banks are al
most entirely worthless that the effect OF
The statute as it now stands, defended by

reach Of the law and whether the circum-

a measure of public policy, is question to
be decided by the wisdom of the Legisa-
ture, after mature investigation.

have always been recognized as law, We
do not clearly see why their requirements
should be set aside with respect to these
corporations, if the public interest is to be
subserved by their enforcement, while all
others are subject to their requirements.

the Constitution adopted BY the Conyen.
ton in Iowa about a year since, on being
submitted TO Congress, was so changed BY
contracting its boundaries, that The peo-
pie of that territory rejected the instru.
ment as amended AT the session of the
Legislative Council of that territory, which
Ihaslately adjourned, bill was introduced
| to submit the Constitution to the conside-
ration of the people, as it came from the
hands Of the convention. which was passed
but vetoed by the Governor. The Coun.
ell, notwithstanding the veto, persisted and
passed the bin by a two-thirds vote, which
made it law. Should the Constitution
thus presented to the people be adopted
by them, It will be again presented to
Congress, and we see no reason 10 believe
that that body will change the conditions
upon which it declared Iowa should enter
the Union. If our belief proves we'll found

gathered than for several years past. The

large majority, and by their apathy and in
