longing TO this fund are oil located. They are
said 10 be valuable, and should be brought into
market as soon as possible. The next Legs
la,ure, will doubtless take THE subject in hand.
When the lands are brought into market, 1t is
not expected they will oil sell at once; and mo.
ney enough will not arise, probably in two
years, from the sales, 10 commence, with any
sort of success, any proper measures Of public
Schools, adequate to the object Of the grant.
No permanent application Of the funds arising
from the sales Of these lands, should be made
by The Legislature of as, or AZ; unless there
should be call session, after the regular ses.
zion. II will be as much as the next session OF
the Legislature can do upon this subject, 10
place the lands in market, establish receiver,
and provide for the cafe keeping of what funds
may arise from tho sales. After il is ascertain.
ed what amount of funds can be raised, il will
be time enough 10 adop, scme sort of system
for their application.
A Convention a. this time, seems to US, pre-.
mature; and probably arousiDg public attention
to more than can be called. When any funds
ehaH have beeu realized from the sales of these
lands, which by the bye, will be long after our
connection with the press shall have passed
away, we expect as indviduals TO take an in
terest, not only in the application Of these funds,
but also the system upon which it is made.
Entertaining the above views, we did not re-.
ply to the call Of the Organizer when made; bu,
awaited the views Of others, before we respon.
ded to the call. The remarks in the last Holly
Springs Gazette, on this subject, are such al
we highly approve. we hope to see public at
ten,on aroueed TO the cause Of education, an
will at all times lend our humble efforts to i
advancement. But we do not think the time
come to DISGUISE the question of what are tn
best means of applying the funds arising fro
the sale of the lands, given in lieu of the l6
sections, for common Schools in the count
comprising the late Chicasaw Cession.
rUnder the signature of "Coke," in
last Vicksburg Sentinel, correspondent
iudes to Mr.. Samuel Mathews course in I
County or Tippah during his Senatorial canv;
in l64l. These are bygones and should not
brought up, as they are likely to do Mr.. Ma
ews injustice, and will effect no good. We
not recoect to have heard MIR. Mathews sp'
but twice in the course of that year, al
he had opposition from the democratic pal
in each of these speeches he was mild demo
ced no one, but called upon his old friends no
leave him on account Of bis views on the b
question. But whatever may have been
difficulties with bis old friends, they have Il
slnce passed away. In ls43, he was elected
the people OF Tippah member of her Cou
police by q very heavy majority, without
solicitation whatever on his part; he has 81
been chosen unanimously her delegate in
State Convention TO meet in Jackson, the
Mondayin July next.
Mr.. Mathews and hls old friends in Tim
have long since buried the Tcnaahawk. We
not wish to see this matter mooted elsewbt
Wa lave thought proper TO say this much
Mr.. Mathews. We regret that he gave
certificate whatever, or in any way countena
ed that set Of politicians, whom we will not
nifty even with The name Of clique, who desti,
ofpopulari,y, or political merit, are attemp,
TO raise themselves upon the downfall Of 9TH
These mon Mr.. Matthew's knows well, and
regret he had eny thing 10 do with them. De,
