be only in different fashion. We have usually
had a sump,uous dinner with Wines and without
Women once It dinner graced with the attendance

cannot honestly say that The latter was generally
considered The better arrangement
We shall of course have a Celebration this year
and GOOD Grafton which is as it should be. Batting
the annual drubbins given therein TO Popery, Pre-
LACY &c which we think carried far enough by this
time, we are proud OF these Ora;ious. But the din'

- THE SOUTHERN QUARTERLY FOR October
has an article on Slavery in the Southern States,
which would have done credit TO the proudest days
Of Aciers The article of secondary interest is one
on Mississippi Affairs wherein AntBonder
goes the whole hog not only for Mississippi Repu-
g. ogD
Tor Of Caroline, Patrick Henry and the immortal
Jefferson he quotes as authorities in some sort for
Reputation, and makes out quite case with regard
TO Mr.. Jefterson's opinions. The writer takes the
broadcast ground, as will be seen by the following
passage:
THE right of repudiating debts Of the most sacred
kind when their payment would impoversh, or greatly
Cypress the people WAS recognized. in lis fullest extent
by our revolutionary Hence, than two
hundred millions OF continental money for the payment
OF which the faith OF the government was pledged again
aud again was repudiated This debt contracted
or the purpose OF usheriug into existence
more binding, il possible, than one con
raced for the support OF government Yet 1t was repu
dated because 1t was obvious that the attempt TO make
the people pay would them into slavery, or pro-
duce aEiomesic revolution Our worthy ancestors saw
that if The people taxed pay this enormous debt
their saveryto stockholders brokers' and lundmongers
would be complete Than any arising from the eA.
actions or the British government
Subsequent 10 the Revolution, in the Congress of
1889 the Republican party cOnendcd for the right of re-
pudaiiag, part debts made for carrying the War;
after the continental money ceased TO circulate Ihats
they willing thut the debt should be funded at the
then market price which. believe, was less than SIX
shl:nss in the pound They conceded, that when the
certificate of debt the property of the person 10
whom issued the whole amount ought 10 be paid, but
that when lie had parted with it the holder should only
get what he had given for it, with interest They TOOK
the ground that unjust that the many should be

great principle that the people ought not to be taxed for

Ofcoursc, after this it is needless 10 cross-eXam

case of Mississippi. The Emeraldcr who, in giving
Judge fourteen why his father not in

This great and glorious Republican, principle OF

proud Of and mean to propagate extensively. Read
and admire the Reviewers concluding flourish
In ls43 the people OF Mississippi again confirmed the
decision they had made i'll le4 and they are ready and
willing confirm those decisions by third and fourth

constitution OF their State against encroachment and
violation FROM friend or foe. Come what will it must
be preserved. Her position is indeed proud one. She
the pioneer in the crea. highway OF genuine liberty
She has given the first shsck 10 bonding and funding

OF oppressive taxation Generations yet unknown, will
rise up and bless the gaan. of Mississippi for their
bodness in checking system that was fast undermining
the liberties Of the people OF our glorious Union.
