The Yazoo Democrat., 1845-11-26

tion in establishing and periecung that
right concerning which there can be no
doubt
The attitude in which we stand toward
the Mexican Government imperiously re-
Quire some action on the part Of the Gen.
eral Government. The many and gre-
vious wrongs she has inflicted upon our
citizens, and her repeated reckless viola
tions of treaty stipulatiOns--the beligerant
position she has assumed upon an unfound-
ed pretence--a pretence no doubt to ena'
bic her to conceal more effectually her
treachery and unfaithfulness in falling in
various instances to comply with her SOL
emn engagements with our Government,
made and confirmed in all the forms and
usages recognised by enlightened nations,
demand that some definite policy should be
adopted, and vigorously executed, in strict
conformity of course, to the principles OF
Justice and wise legislation.
The modification and adjustment OF the
Tariff will, we predict, early enlist the at
tention and deliberation of both branches
of Congress. 1t is universally acknOwl-
edged to bea subject of deep interest to
every portion of the country-leaving out
ofview the result of the last Presidential
election, in which it was made an impor-
tant issue. The State elections that have
since transpired, indicates clearly that a
modification of the Tariff Of 1912 IS de-
manded. That the President will urgently
recommend it, there is not shadow of doubt,
and should there not be virtue and patrlo-
tism enough in Congress to conform to this
recommendation, as we'll as the behests OF
decided majority Of the people, the pros
perity of the country will receive shock
that will cause murmur of discomfort to
be reverberated throughout the whole length
and breadth of the Union, and consequent
ces more disastrous than those that threat
ened the stability of the Union in 1882 and
'33, speedily ensue. The burdens and op-
pressions of a high tariff sciN not, and can.
not much longer be endured forbearance
will soon cease to be virtue, and thous.
ands who now admire and love the union
and would regard its disseverance as one
of the most appalling calamities that could
befall it-would soon be led to appreciate
Mr.. ,Calhoun's sentiment of liberty frs
and union afterwards.
The establishment Of an lndePenden
Treasury, "a measure Of deliverance ant
liberty" as it has been justly denominated
will also engage the attention of Congress
Its utility and Importance have been so of
ten demonstrated that any thing now sale
in reference to it would be supererogatory
Uponnall these measures, we are gratifet
to know, that Mississippi will occupy jus
and elevated position. Her representatives
q will be faithful and fearless" They
know their country's righs, and will main
tain them.
Tie measures that were deliberated up
on at the late Memphis Convention are
some of them of vast national Importance
and will doubtless receive that attention
whichis due them.
There are other measures highly essen
tial to the interest of the country, that vii
be acted upon, ,Of which 1t is unnecessar,
to advert, suffice it TO say, that we are sal
listed that the stntinels upon the watc
towerarexigilant and faithful, and that n
enemy, however subtle or daring can ente
the gates of the citidt'l.
