1t seems impossible, in Mississippi, TO
keep speculation out of the acts of public
servants. The High Court Of Errors and
Appeals appoint reporter of their deci-
sions; the legislature gives this reporter
two dollars and fifty cents for each page Of
his reports, to enhance the cost of The pub
LEGATION Of his book; and 10 puff "men OF
straw" the reporter publishes long briefs
and arguments of counsel of little or no
interest, and thus extends the limits of his
book to huge volume, when II could be
comprised IN one fourth of the limits tax
en-, II the High Court Of Errors and
Appeals does not take this evil into consi
deration, we hope the legislature will. l.

OREGON AND THE SoUTH-The Wash
ington Union appeals to the southern
States to stand by the resolutions Of the
Baltimore convention on the Oregon ques-
ton, reminding them how CALAMITY the
north came TO the rescue on the Texas
question. We think we run no risk IN
responding for Mississippi, all IS ,reH.-
Mississippi viii stand by the adniustra-
ton; she will yield none of the doctrines
proclaimed in the resolutions at Baltimore.
We never regarded the Texas question as
southern issue. 1t was national IN lis
character, and its consumation was a tri-
umph of the democracy of the nation. In
the same light we view the Oregon CUES
ton. The south will stand by the admin
istration in the adoption Of measures for
the occupation Of Oregon at The earliest
practicable period, To this extent we en-
dorsed the principles promulged at Bait
more. We believed we were right then
we believe SO still. Mississippian.

The MEXICAN AND TEXAN TREATY.-The terms
or conditions Of the negotiations which have been
conducted between Mexico and Texas, under the
auspices of the English and French governments,
were not laid before the public with the Presidents
proclamation. They were probably presented to
Congress on Monday last We have reason to
believe that the articles few in number, and

ID. The refusal of Texas to be annexed to the
United States, or any other power.
81. The establishment of boundaries
4th. The providing of an arbitration, in case the
parties should not agree upon boundary.
None of the inducements which led to the nego-
tiation as matter Of course, are mentioned in the
document The private history of the transaction
is also withheld The indemnity, spoken OF by the
Mexican etter-writers, gathered from the Ha-
vana press, does not appear, as we learn, IN the
treaty. nor does the guarantee OF England and France
That there are other stipulatons and understandings
than those written for the public eye, we have little
doubt The proclamation Of an armistice by Presi-
dent Jones was one of these. IL is more than
probable that the failure Of the plot to prevent an

to suppress all proceedings that have not already

phases Of the conspiracy will not be seen by this
generation-.N o. Pieagme, June 49,

The public may form some opinion of the reck-
less character of many of the leerwrters from this
city, from the following dashing specimen Of a
scribbler in the Baltimore Patriot. 1t really seems
to us that the writer is Indifferent what he says,
provided he has something to say. We have a
strong disposition to hang his upon the gbbet,
for the warning of others. The "Union" has treat
ed the wing press with some degree of forbearance
and respect; and see how it is treated in return:
"Ana yet MIR. Polk hopes to accomplish wonders. ina

l. There is no idea of associatng Major Donel-
son in the editorship of the "Union." 2. The organ
is not bound grind out such music the President
directs; neither does the President DESIRE nor would
"the organ" submit to it. g. The circulation of the
"Union" is advancing with great rapdity. The
correspondent Of the Baltimore Patriot is welcome to

making; and he may see from the great Of
