Note Of preparation. :


The proceedings of both houses are OIL
great Importance to the country.
In the Senate resolutions offered BY Gen.
Cass instructing the Committees on Militia
Ty Affairs, on the Militia, and on Naval AZ
fairs to inquire into the condition of the
various sources of our Government for the
defence of the country, were after having
been discussed at length on the 18th and
10th inst. (most Of the prominent members
of both parties participating ia the debate
unanimously adopted.
The speech of the mover of the resolu-
tons [Gen. Cass) was an able and master.
ly review of the present relations between
our government and Great Britain.
Several of the Wing Senators Messrs.
Mangum, Archer, Crittenden and others
deprecated the introduction of the resolu.
tons, but voted for tn EN-.
Thus has the note of preparation for
war been sounded FROM the Senate Cham.

the strong probability of such an event
If war must come, if that dread tribunal

ton, we hope our nation will be prepared
for the conflict, and in another contest

American armies.
On the 18th Mr.. Allen introduced res

with a new aspect, prefer not to have any
special or semi.olhcial connection with it,
aside from his ordinary senatorial relations.
He would doubtless, had he been present
and been consulted, have expressed his pre-.
terence tor the very place that has been
assigned him---the head of the committee
on Finance, a subject which, in its various
conneEien with commerce and political e.
economy, he understands better than any
man HEfng. When we recollect that we
have, at present, no national monetary sys-
tenn; that the Secretary Of the Treasury
has been greatly embarrassed for the want
Ofsuitable depositaries, that our coinage is
rapidly multiplying and that the President
has recommended the establishment of the
only constitutional and safe system, the In.
dependent Treasury-when we remember
also that there is, at least, a possibility of
war when all our pecuniary resources must
be made available, we think that the posi-
ton assigned TO Mr.. Calhoun is matter Of
public congratulations. And we trust that
when, in the course Of the session, he is
exering his vast intellectual powers in
support of the only financial system tolera-
ted by the constitution and compatible with
our institutions, and exposing the absurdty
and danger of the monstrous paper systems
advocated by the wings, those journals will
be as just and complimentary to him as
they are at present.
As to his course on the Oregon question,
we do not doubt that he will steadily de-
clare against further concessions or com
pronses.-Jefersonan.

OUR NEXT LEGIsLATURE.-THE Pres.
ENT MILITIA sYSrEM.-In few days our
Legislature will assemble, and upon the
representatives of the people will devoIve
the duty of adopting such measures as will
besl promote their interest. Many are the
questions which will demand their atten.
ton. Among others we may refer to the
present Militia system. We believe that
it should be reformed.
The most superficial observer cannot fail
to have noticed the neglect which has at
tended this subject in our State, more espe.
cially within the last few years. The
mass of the people seem to have lost sight
OF the great Importance of proper and eff
cient military discipline. tits true that in
different parts of the State volunteer com.
panies have been formed, and since their
organization have acquired proficiency
in military tactics alike creditable to them.
selves and the cause they seek to promote,
yet, it must be admitted that the same lau-
dabIe spirit is not generally prevalent.
Under the present system that thorough
organization which is so essentially neces.
sary has not, and cannot be effected. Its
defects are too palpable to admit of dispute,
for, we need but refer to the disorganized
state of the militia, and the mprepared con-
ditiOn of the people for war to prove that
they are numerous. Such have been its
fruits-and we trust such a reform as will
remedy the existing evils will be adopted.
Sin time of peace prepare for war" is
solemn injunction which the American
people should never forget. Upon them is
imposed the task Of guarding and protect.
ing the most sacred trust--the temple of
liberty in which reposes the hope Of mill.
ions for redemption from the bonds of ty-
ranny and oppression. We earnestly hope
therefore that this subject will receive from
our Legislature the attention which its mac.
niblde imPeraliyely demands. Our national
affairs are at this time in a peculiarly Crti- !
cal condition, and We know not how soon
il may be necessary for US to resist the en-.
croachmenIs Of a powerful nation upon our
rights. In MississiPPithere are many who
have strong arms, and stout hearts who

pleuitude of their power repealed that
wise and saIdtary measure, and made the
banks the repositories Ofthe public funds,
and in this condition were they found by
the Secretary ofthe Treasury on his APP
pointment to office.
There are other important measures
which he has urged upon the consideration
of Congress, Int we have not space to al
lude to them in detail. His Report is a
forcible document, and bears upon it the
stamp of powerful mind. We will here
quote the following notice ofits author from

o. In recent number we published a
communication signed 8" II. NJ. j." to
which we hope the attention Of our citizens
generally has been directed Our cores
pendent has with propriety condemned the
violation of certain laws in relation to traE
ficing with negroes, and has correctly
showed the evils which must result there
from. His assertion that planters who
transact their business at this place com.
plain that, "their negroes are induced by
some persons who are engaged in this trade
to barter the prOyender given to supply
teams for spirits" &c, should arouse the
attention of all who wish to promote the
prosperity of our Town; and those who
thus violate the law by adopting practice
so productive of evil for the sake of gain,
should receive the penalty which is legally
provided for the offence.
We are glad attention has been called
to this injurious and unlawful traffic. Let
the transgressors be held to strict account
ability, let the law with all its weight fall
upon them, and thus will the unlawful prac-
tice be destroyed.
Whenever laws established for the ben.
eft of society are disregarded and tramp
led upon, we deem it the duty of those who
wish to preserve them in their purity, and
prevent them from abuse to " cry aloud and
spare not" We will assure themthat their
for such purposes shall always
be heard through the medium of our pa.
per.

But This balance is subjected to be de.
ceased by such additional appropriations
as Congress shall make, to be expended
during the fiscal year ending the 3Oth June,
l946, and to be altered by the sums which
may be presented for payment of the old
funded and unfunded debt and old treasury
notes.
"The receipts" says the report "for the
first quarter Of this year are less by 81
Oll,s85 80 than the receipts of the same
quarter last year." This is caused owing
to the decreased importation of many arti.
cles upon which is imposed high tariff.
The principles upon which the Secreta.
ry of the Treasury has proposed to estab.
lish a revenue system will be found on our
first page. They are such as must meet
with the cordial approval of every true
friend of equal rights-such as are reQuir.

are founded upon the principles Ofjustice.-

Tariff Of 1912, held up to the gaze Of the
