STATE CHANcELLoR.-In the last Southroh
we have a correspondence between some
fifty or sixty lawyers at Jackson, and Chan
cellor BUcKNER, requesting him TO become
a candidate for reelection. He declines,
assigning the insufiiciency of the salary
If Mr.. Buckner can make more money at
other business, the people of Mississippi
have no right to expect his services.
The present salary is $4,000, but was re-
duced by the last Legislature to $2,50o.-
In allusion to the matter, the Southron says :
1--WE see from Chancellor Buckner's re-
ply, that he finds his present salary 50 ,OOOJ
altogether insufficient to support his family,
and compensate him for the fatiguing du-
Ties of his office. Here, then, by wrong
system of economy, we lose from the bench
one of the most able lurists that has ever
presided in the State. The people may not
find it so cheap, as they imagine, 10 have
their suits entrusted to judges who are in-
competent, because none who are compe-
tent, would have seat on the bench, at a
salary that will not feed and clothe their
families. We trust that this sub
ect will be brought favorably to the notice
of our next legislature. If it is properly
acted upon, at the next session, and the
old salaries re-established, we can then,
and not until then, hope to preserve the
purity and ability of the Judiciary"
What is the world coming to! Here is
an Office with salary of two thousand five
hundred dolars-the worth of two hun
dred bales of cottcn-of FIVE thousand BUSH
els of corn-of four or FIVE hundred of the
pine-woods mans cattle,-and we are told
by the popinjay wing editor that this salary
is not sufficient to "feed and clothe'' a
lawyers family! Verify, the people of
Mississippi are niggardly set of crazy
looms But what better could be expected
from State 1--WE again quote the words of
the Southron,) whose name
Has gone abroad with disgrace; whose
Executive acts and legislation has been RI
diculed and condemned all over the Union,
as well as N many parts of sister CONT
nent, as manifesting the crossing igno-
rance, and the most debased dishonesty"
The "nice young man" is evidently in a
bad humor generally with Mississippi
We advise him TO emigrate:
We doub: not there are scores Of lawyers,
competent and honest, willing to accept
the station at $4,000 a-year. We venture
to say the Office would be we'll filled even
at $l5oo-the amount paid in the adjoining
State Of Tennessee.

The WAY THE BRITISH REPUDIATE.--TEe
public debt of England is about five thou
sand millions of dollars. CT course it is
not expected that this immense sum ever
ear or will be paid. 1t is only a conve-
nient method to saddle the mass of men at
their birth into the world, to be ridden
by select few of the :" better class" But
the league of noble and royal robbers, who
are struck with such holy horror because
the people Of Mississippi will not pay un-
just debts, find it necessary occasionally to
devise cunning plans to repudiate portio6s
of this immense sum, to keep the whole
machine from collapsing. The debt bore
, 1-2 per cent. interest; but year or two
ago, the rate of interest was reduced to 3
per cent. OF course this was equivalent to
wiping out some seven or eight hundred
millions of the debt. Another cunning
method Of Reputation is accomplished by
what is known as the 'income tax" Un-
der this name the government taxes its
own debt for its own benefit. These me-
thods were not resorted to until labor was
taxed to the utmost point of endurance
until indeed, thousands were dying from
absolute starvation. Such is the inevita-
bic tendency Of the expansion of the paper
credit system.

Mr.. BENTON presented the instructing
resolutions of the Missouri Legislature, in
relation to the Annexation of Texas, on
the goth ult. In the course of his remarks,
as reported in the .NadisOnian, he said
"The views presented in the resolu-
tons of the General Assembly of Missouri,
were warranted in their gross, and it gave
him great pleasure to corroborate the views
of the General Assembly.
Z" He said that majority of the people OF
Missouri were in favor of annexaton-that
they were deeply interested in 1t. In these
views he concurred with the General AS
sembly of Missouri, that this was a grea,
national question, and he felt himself bound
to give them his support"

To the Editsr Of tine Mississippi Democrat;
After the brilliant victory which the
Democracy has lately achieved in the Pre-
sidential election, it well behoOyes our
party TO look to the best means to main-
tain harmony in the democratic ranks, and
10 provide themselves with the best and
most energetic champions to defend and
support the interests of Mississippi Demo-
rzucy III the election next fatf- for the va
rious stations to be filled at that time. Ia
party with large majority, it too often
happens that disaifectiOn springs up 10 the
detrment of the cause, and men are n be
found who fancy that the party owes them
every thing to the exclusion of all others;
but it is to be hoped that no such spirit VIII
for moment be found to exist in our
ranks, and that in the next canvass the ut
most harmony may be produced, and that
such means may be adopted, as that We
may long and permanently enjoy the fruits
of the victory, by placing our principles
upon a firm and sure basis. Let US not
be lulled into inactivity by our recent tri-
umph, but let US be on the alert. We
have yet strong and powerful foe in the
field, always prepared and capable to take
advantage of any and every opportunity
to bring about our overthrow. Il IS to be
hoped that every true democrat will cor
daily unite in this matter, and 90 up 10
the proposed Convention, with determi.
natioH TO let all personal considerations be
lost in desire TO support to the utmost
the great leading measures of our faith
by such course, we have every thing Il
gain, nothing to lose. Let the countie:
hold their meetings, and select men whC
will meet in convention, not as partizans
but as friends to their country, and willing
to do everything for the cause-nothin.
for men, recollecting that men are bu
the representatives of principles. In max
ing these selections, they should be guild
, ed by the merit and ability OF those VIII,
shall be presented for the nominations
r without reference to what is sometime
mis-called availability. What a candidat
= for office ought 10 have is, merit, talent
and honesty, combined with devotion {
the principles of our cause: and under thi
!, standard Of qualifications, we can agar
: with pleasure and confidence, present ;
: the consideration of the people of MiSsi:
tsippi our present able and faithful exc
cutive, Governor BROWN, who has, unde
all the various responsibilities Of his big
station, demeansd himself in a mannS
that adds new lustre to the cause Of d
mocracy, and made him the proud choiC
of the people as a candidate for re-electiOi
Equally as important a matter in ii
canvass about to commence, IS that Il

Were a crowned monarch.
I would give my diadem-
My regal throne and sceptre,
Enriched with many gem
I would give my baths of porphyry,,
My ships that filled the sea;
My empire, people, all, beloved,
For one sweet smile from thee!

And the angels, and the demons.
That bowed before me there:

Time, space, eternity,
And the teeming depths of chaos,
For one sweet kiss from thee!

HUZZ.4 FOR TEXAS!

Joint resolutions for the admission of the
State of Texas as member of the Ameri-
can Confederacy, were adopted in the
House of Representatives on the 25th of
January, by triumphant and decisive ma
jority. Some Northern Democrats bolted,
and few Southern Wings came out gall
lantly and boldly for the true interests and
glory Of their country.
The fate of the measure in the Senate
is still doubtful.

ed This has created great excitement at
