U. s. SENATOR. - Some weeks since,
Governor Brown received Senator Wal
ker's resignation, and considering it i'm
portant that Mississippi should be fully re-
presented in tho Executive Session of the
United States Senate, which was conven-
ed on the 4lh of March, he Immediately
despatched commission TO the Hon. j..
Thompson, which he hoped might arrive
in time for that gentleman 10 take Mr..
Walkers place at the convened session.
hom some miscarriage, delay, or other
cause, the commission did not reach Mr..
Thompson, and he left Washington, we
learn, on 18th inst, without taking his
sent. Whether Mr.. Thompson will ac-
cept the Executive appointment or moi, is
yet uncertain, the Governor not having
heard from him. Mr.. Walkers letter Of
resignation contained an intimation that
he wished to take a more formal leave Of
his old friends and constituents, which he
was not ready 10 forward. The Govern
or withheld the intelligence Of his resig-
nation for the reception Of this paper,
which we shall probably lay before oul
readears next week.
Mr.. Thompson was appointed BY the
Governor, under sense of duty which
be deemed imperative, not to permit Mis-
HssiPp 10 go unreprcsenied in the Exec
utiye Session if Il could be avoided. Mr.
Thompson was rendered the appointment
without solicitation on his part, and with
out his knowledge. Hence the Executive
'hoOght proper 70 await Mr.. Thompson
acceptance or declination before the ap
poInlment was announced. Mr.. Thomp
s0n has not yet been heard from; but as !
understood he is at home with his con
.q'uenis, the original motive for withhold
ng the announcement has ceased. II
an accept or decline. as to him is mos
yreeable. afississippiaH.

fBRITrsu CLAIMS TO OREGON Tho Phi.
Iadelphia Ledger says: We admit that
Britain has repeatedly claimed and main
tanned "rights" in this territory, if right
and aggression are synonymous. 1t claim
ed, by virtue of discovery by Drake, who
never saw the territory, and being pirate
whose life was due to the gibbet of any CT
viized nation, could have conferred no
right if he had. 1t claimed by q conyen-
ton with Spain, which expressly reserved
all territorial jurisdiction, and subsequent
ly ceded all such right 10 US. And it now
claims by similar convention with US,
convention which expressly denies 10 it
any such jurisdiction. And Britain has
" maintained" rights in this territory
Howl 1t maintained the convention with
Spain, by encouraging its subjects 10 settle
there; and by force Of arms in rs war
with Spain, which began in 1903, and con
,inued ill 1900; and by an alliance with
Spain agains, Napoleon from 1909 ill is
during which period, Spain, contcndirg
for existence at home, had no leisure to ex-
anime and resist tho encroachments of its
ally in distant colony; and by force Of
arms agains. US in the war Of 1872; and
by the convention Of 1918, which merely
allowed settlement 10 its subjects, il has
violated'by military occupation and legal
jurisdiction; aud by our careless, short
sighted, unstatesmanlike, unjusiifiable in
difference to the characteristic perGdy and
rapacity Of the British government. In
short, these British rights in the territory,
which are rather wrongs, have been main
tanned by British force and fraud, and per
mitIed by American blindness. And now
when our syes are at last opened, domes.
tic uaiiorstctup these British uggression'
as rights against Us!

The STATE CONVENTION. - We pre-
sumo the time for the meeting of the State
Convention may now be considered as
fairly agreed upon. Meetings have taken
place in several couuties--in Jasper, Lau-
derdale, Clarke, Madison and Adams, and
all agree in suggesting an early day IN
Jaty. We presume that those who favor.
ed an earlier day will readily yield their
consent TO The proposed time; and we sin
cerely trust every county in the Stale
will be fully and fairly represented on the
occasion. The Convention will have ma
ny nominations 10 make: A candidate for
Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor,
Treasurer, Attorney General, and four
members of Congress--perhaps Sena-
Tor in Congress. There will be many as.
pirants; but it is hoped that all will readily
unite upon the ticket which may be nom
mated, The wings, although silent, stand
ready to take advantage of any dissatis-
faction or division in the democratic ranks.
Their settled policy in Mississippi, is TO
''diride and conquer They will act up
on this principle from the highest to the
lowest Office, In past times they have
done so and we know they will do so again
whenever an opportunity presents itself.
The home policy of the State has been
settled by two emphatic verolcts Of the
people. The State MUST and WILL main
tain her position. After the result of the
bitter canvass of ls43 was known, the
wings acknowledged themselves fairly
beaten upon the bond question. But we
find they are not yet silenced. Those
democrats who acted with them will hard
ly do so again. So far as we have heard an
expression of opinion, q single wish and
sentiment prevails, namely: that the bond
question is settled. The people have de-
termined it, and from their decision there
can be no appeal. [Nississippian.
