On the first page of our present mum,
Der may be found the letter of the Hon.
STEPHEN H. Johnson, of Copiah county,
to run as the Wing candidate
for Secretary Of State. We commend it
to the perusal Of our readers. There is
no man in the State more capable of dis
charging the duties of the office than
Judge Johnson. He is a gentleman, in
every sense Of the term, and well wor-
thy Of the position in which the PARTIAL
ties Of his friends have placed him.

We republish the following article fol
the reason that it may, possibly, exercise
a sautary influence over the mind Of
some lukewarm and supne Wing; one
who is indolently resting upon his oars
when he should be laboring with his
whole might, mind and strength. No
true Wing should be idle nop,-but
should devote his best energies in further
ance of the good cause unit! the election
We should initiate the example set by
our oPponents,a as far as industry in advo.
eating our principles, is concerned. They
always labor with untiring perseverance,
10 ensure the success of their party, and
gloomy prospect, or an almost certainty
OF defeat, does not, in the smallest de-
gree, slacken their ceaseIess energies
We should profit by the industrious ex.
ample set by our opponents. If we do
not, disastrous defeat, sooner or later,
Will overtake US. Our opponents are en-
gagged in most desperate struggle to
elect one, If not both, Of their candidates
for the legislature. Indeed, we know Of
bets that have been that Mr.. Davis would
be elected THAT there is a sufficient
number of recrcant Wings pledged to his
support, TO ensure his election! Now,
we do not believe a word Of this, yet it
shows that some of our opponents are
looking forward with some confidence
for partial success, and it should operate
as warning voice to the Wings Of old
Amite, not TO suffer themselves TO be lul-
led in slumbers Of fancied security and
Of implicit reliance on their former
strength, but it should stimulate them TO
arouse from their present lelhargy, and
10 devote their time, talents and influ.
ence, with unremitting energy, with in
domtable perseverance, and with an un-
conquerable purpose TO succeed, from this
lime until the ele stion is. over. There
should be no drones in our ranks nop.-j
If we are sincere in the principles we
profess-if we believe that the success of
Wing principles will conduce to the ad.
'ancement and prosperity of our country
If we believe tina. the character Of our
state can never be retrieved except by its

that it were! Then, our triumph would

degree that repudiating Iocofocoism would
never again raise its miscroated front in
old Amlte. But, we have no apparent
concert Of action, We cannot calculate,
with any certainty, upon the state Of our

lately conversed, are disposed to sit
down, in suplnencsS and inactivity, and
await the result Of the election, with
blind, and perhaps, fatal reliance upon
our former strength. 1t is true that
there are some who entertain contrary
opnlons--who believe that unceasing en-

We take the following article from
the fernando Phoenix, a strong and un
swerving democratic paper, published in
DE Soto County. We know but little OF
the transactions alluded TO, and merely
publish the article to show the strong
feeling of dissatisfaction that exists
among portions of the democracy against
some of the nominees of the late demo
cratic State Convention. "When locofo-
cos fall OUT" the people will be apt to see
the truth.
PoINT LOOK Our, August, ls45.
My dear Major,
None Of your "COloners."
am glad to see that you have not put
the name of John D. Freeman for At
torneY General; he never was qualified
Tor the office and has no claims on the
party. tie was foisted u pom it by Gwin
to help him to get to Congress, whilst he
had care of the Choctaw claims--andI
they yet work together. II was Owns
influence in the late Convention, that
managed to get his Nomination. had It
been deferred until after the conCression.
al nominations, he would not have recei-
we'd it. -
The object Of convention is TO adjust
The conflicts Of the views of the people,
and prevent splits Of the party in candid.
ltes for office.
They are empowered to do the peoples
will, their act is nulity; and the people
would be guilty OF the grossest weakness
n toleratng a precedent so dangerous.
The people had in various counties in
tructed their delegates to vote, some for
Mr. Smith, some for Mr.. Featherston, 9th
'rs Tor Mr. Harris, for the nomination to
ne Office of Attorney General, but none
or Mr.. Freeman as have heard OF. !
This was a direct negation by the people,
t least of those counties, of any pre- !,
ended claims Of his; and if he had pos. .
essed particle Of modesty he would y
ave urged his want Of office The mem. u
ers OF the convention mistook the venal
atteries of him in tho Free Trader, Gal. e

Affairs I'm Washington.

There are several rumors aiioat in Washington
relative the Oregon question, and the resignation
of Nh Buchanan. il Is stated that some difficulty
has arisen in the Oregon negotiations, which may
tend TO the retirement of Mr.. Buchanan from the
Cabinet II is also said that Mr.. Walker will re-
tire. These rumors, OF course, want confirmation.
The accounts we have received are that on Thurs
day last the Secretary of State had an interview OF
several hours duration with the British Minister,
Mr. Pakenham, in the State department.; and that
a special meeting of the Cabinet was held next day
10 take the result of this interview and the Oregon
question into consideration. On Saturday, the next
day after the Cabinet cornell, the rumor Of the re-
signation OF Mr.. Buchanan began 10 circulate
through the circles in Washington, and gained
much credence. These facts, in connection with
the statement made few days ago, that the 49th
degree had been agreed upon by the Secretary of
State and the British minister, foreshadow some
thing.
According TO this intelligence the negotiations on
this vexed question are near their termination If
Mr.. Buchanan has settled in his mind upon the 49lh
degree, and should 60 out of the Cabinet on that
point, we may suppose that the President is deter
mined TO have the whole territory to the 5Eh degree
or nothing

be seen by his relatives prior to the funeral After
ward, suspicious circumstances arising, the body
was disinterred on Friday night and found TO be
headless-the widow substantially admitting that
she had sold the head TO a doctor. Considerable
gatherings have taken place around the house for
the past two or three days, and the females in the
neighborhood are particularly loud In their denun
citation of the widow. II Is said that she has quilted

punishment from her neighbors
