or The g CorporaFs Guard " is being
rapidly disbanded at Washington. Good !!
Our ilIustrious namesake of the Madso-
MAN is in contortions, and makes himself
supremely ridiculous. Witness the follow
ing funny paragraphs from his paper of the
Sd instant:
6 The removals made on Saturday and
to-day, and those known to have been de-
termined on, have filled our city with
gloom. The annunciation of the heart
rending disaster on board the Princeton, a
year ago, did not create greater shock in
this community than the wholesale pro-
scription commenced by President Polk has
DONE" &c.
6 In reply to numerous inquiries as to
the course Of the Madisonian, we would
remark that our motto is Stand by your
friends, whether they be ten or ten thou
sand; and if they be prescribed or Danish
ed share their fate"
But this caps the climax:
Maj. w. B. Lewis, the constant and
devoted friend of General Jackson for up
wards of thirty years. has been cut down
as we predicted on Saturday and to iusti-
| fly so unaccountable an act, it is alleged
that the old Hero has consented to the sa.
crifce. y We should not be Surpris
| ed if the vital spark, which has been flick
ering in the socket for the last few years
should be totally extinguished soon afte
this strange and unjustifable proceeding
reaches the Hermitage"
| Can ridiculous bomhast be carried far
Their! The ''court-fool' should now retire
and rest on his laurels. Is this 6 an era Q
good feeling?

GoING AT IN THE ENGLISH wAr.-Ma-
ny of the States who profess the utmost
horror at Reputation, viii yet repudiate
their debts; Maryland is now doing so, in
the English fashion F.: that is, by taxing the
stocks, and retaining as taxes part Of the
interest on her debt as it becomes due
How unpublished and rude were we In
Mississippi not to do the thing in this pi-
Gus aud genteel way! Suppose the States
all tax this sort of stock precisely to the
amount OF the interest; won't this be q
most splendid way to "setlle fair9'' TSenf.

THE CONVENTION.

We find the following letter in the .ast
number of the Mississippian. We fully
agree with Mr.. Leake that the contingency
alluded to, viz: the giving to " alternate"
politicians about Jackson,) controlling
influence in the Convention, would " give
plausible, indeed good cause to refuse ODE
dience to the nominations" 1t is Idle to
say that these g alternates" are bound to
act by instructions. No instructions can
embrace the circumstances which may
arise in the convention, and we cannot inn
agine a more odious system than that OF
few men selecting candidates for the whole
State. We hope this plan of I" alternate
delegates may be broken up, and that coun-
tres not feeling sufficient interest to send
on regularly appointed delegates may go
unrepresented:
MEssRs. EDITORS: In conversation, to-
day, with gentleman, good democrat,
he informed me that he probably would be
required or enabled TO cast some SIXTEEN
votes in the proposed Democratic Conven-
ton in July next; owing 10 the fact that
he had been appointed the alternate dele
gate from several counties, the delegates
from which in all probability might not at
tend: now this shows the very great ne
cessity of each county sending the resi-
dents of their respective counties. To
give any one man foo much power is anti
democratic, and may place in the Hands
of small number to dictate nominations
for the whole State. This would give
plausible, indeed good cause 10 refuse ODE
dience 10 such nominations.
Yours, respectfully,
Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1845-04-23
