snow, by ST. PAUL, THE WORK GOES
BRAvELY oN"--In the United States Sc
nate, on the 18th ut,, L. H. Foster, whig
Senator from Tennessee, introduced Joint
resolutions for the Annexation of Texas,
and declared himself in favor of the mea-
sure. He said
He had duty to perform--a double
duty-a duty TO himself, and a duty to
that portion of the people of the United
States whose commission he wore.
The subject of annexation
presented to the decision of Congress a
great matter. Its gravity and Importance
could not be mistaken by any rejecting
mind. In his faithful opinion, it involved
the harmony of the nation, if not its TO-
reign peace; and unless it should be for.
tunately adjusted, it would, in all proba-
blIlty, in some consequences not very re-.
mote, lead to dissolution OF tho Union.
He favored union of the two
Republics on just and proper principles
alone, as he hoped and believed; but at the
same time, be did not wish or intend To
conceal the sympathies that mingled with,
and no doubt fortified and encouraged, his
opinions, Texas, it he had been rightly
informed, was indebted TO his own noble,
gallant, and generous State for a large frac.

NATIONAL INrELLIGENcER If there is
any paper under British influence in this
nation, it is the lnteIigencer. We defy
any one TO point out any question at issue
between the United States and Great Bri-
tain which has arisen within The last ten
years, on which the lnteligencer failed TO
advocate the British side. The case of
Mcleod of Canada 1.-The North Eastern
Boundary---lho right Of scarch---indemni'
ly for American slaves seized at sea by
British vessels--the Oregon questionable
annexation Of Texas--are all cases in
point; and on oil of these questions the
lntellIgencer if il had been in British pay,
could not have more strenuously adVoca-
ted the wishes and views of Great Britain.
We verify believe if the mother country
would again lay claim to these states or a
part of them under her old colonial law,
the InteIigencer and his paragon of
statesman, John Q. Adams, would still be
true TO their former course, and find null
tilude of reasons for the justice and pro-
priety of the claim, and for denouncing

any opposition to it.
When it is remembered, now, that Mr.,

pers have not bounced upon these thingsl
How full of meaning is the commentary
on their patriotism afforded by the fact
that this Englishman, Mr.. Gales, with his
British paper--is in close alliance with

BONDING, BANKING, AND HIGHWAY
ROBBERY.

DR.. LLOYD SELBY, Of Warren, in letter
from Washington City, to the editors of the
Mississippian, thus alludes to these several
methods OF preying upon the community
similar in spirit and reality and differ
ingly only (as the DR.. says,l in the modus
operandi' the one, with falsehood and de-
ception, pretending friendship to his victim
the other, demanding money or blood
Some may style the Dr.'s plain talk claw.
less and reckless locofocoisn." We think
it honest truth boldly expressed, good sense
without rhetorical establishment. A vas,
majority of the victims of bonding and
banking are rapidly coming to the conclu.
sion that these legal plans of robbery are
"worse, in moral point of view, than
robbing on the highway" Ere long these
schemes for robbing the mass of mankind
will be looked upon much in the same Itch,
that we now view the forcible depredations
oil the lords of feudal times-with wonder
that mankind could have ever been made
the victims of such delusion. But TO the
extract
!" ! see the new President of Texas de.
clares open war against all paper money,
whether issued by the government, by
corporations, or by individuals. This i
evidence that he is is genuine, hard mo.
ney democratic is also evidence that the
true democracy is gaining ground every.
where. The time is coming when the
bankers and spectators of every country
will have to go 10 work or highway robbie
ry for living. Robbery by banking and
the issue of paper money is worse, in
moral point of view, than robbing on the
highway. The bank thief processes to be-
the friend of his victim; by faIsehood and
deception he gains his confidence, and
then plumbers him. The thief on the high.
way uses no deception, but comes out
openly and above board and demands The
money or the life of his yiciim-there is
some chance Of guarding against the lat.
ter, but none against the former. Bank.
ing and bonding are other names for steal
ing and swindling-as such they ought TO
be discountenanced by every lover Of truth
and honesty. No honest, intelligent man
should be in favor of either, after the expe.
rience Of the last fifteen years.
"There is no such thing as good bank
we might as well talk Of an honest thief
A bank ever so well conducted is sure to
swindle somebody--it is inseparabe from
the system. The doctrine OF nothing for
a currency but hard money, is the cure for
banking, and Reputation is the cure for
bonding. While the people are green
enough to be taxed to pay bonds, they viii
be issued and sold IN spite of law and
constitution ; so with bank noles--whie
there are people willing to receive them as
money, they will be issued by banks with
or without charters, as may best suit the
of those wishing to engage in
robbery and swindIing of that kind.'

Civilization is merely in its infancy
when it requires the energies of the mind,
and the physical powers Of the body, to be
exhausted by continued fatigue for mere
pitance of subsistence. The state TO
which the operatives of England have
been reduced by the political institutions
of the country, and the tyranncal edicts
of the capitalists who control its laboring
population, ought to be beacon of the
dangers which threaten the same class in
this country. State Legislatures are be.
sieged by applicants for chartered mono.
poles, and the lubbies of Congress for acts
of special protection. These lords of the
loom have attained their end, But does it
afford protection to those by whose labor
they are cnriched2 Far from il. Since
the passage of the high tariff bill, We find
that oppression has assumed more def
nito form: tyranny has raised its crest
and these hot bed arlstocrats have issued
their orders for reduction, instead Of in
crease, of wages, oven after entering into
a contract Tor a specified time before the
expiration of tho term; whilst the names
of those interesting females who would
not submit 10 their acts of oppression, were
posted up as rebels, and information was
forwarded TO the other establishments in
the State, to deprive them of employment.
This is the legitimate result of special aud
partial legislation, The following is an
extract Of circular from one of the Low
ell girls, addressed TO her sister operatives
upon the subject of the reduction of their
wuges:--
ut was against the laws of Nature
and Of God for them TO be confined in the
pcnt.up air of factory so many hours
every day, and thus robbed OF their con.
stitutions, muscles, and sinews, for a small
pittancc, that an immense profit may be
made by beings who fare sumpluousy
every day, and roll along in car of splen
dor through our streets, revealing in iuxu-
~ and extravaganza, nj the Same time

holy Jesus who went about doing good. o.

CANDIDATES FOR CoNGREss.-The last Eas-
tern Clarion is "loaded to the guards" with
names for Congressional honors. A cores.
pendent, promising that Col. Roberts must
stand aside, suggests Jefferson M. Gray
bill, OF Jasper, in his place; and after re-
marking that Gov. fuckers name will not
be brought before the Convention, recon-
mends Judge Stephen Adams, of Monroe,
in his stead. The claims Of Judge Adams
are also urged in an editorial. Jefferson
Davis, of Warren, is proposed in place of
Mr.. Hammett. Jacob Thompson, alone, to
be re-noninated.
Candidates will be plenty as blackberries,
and from the mdteriel at the service of the
democracy, strong ticket may be formed.
Let their merits be freely canvassed, the
will of the people fairly carried out, and
good men and true will be selected.

THE CONVENTION.

A correspondent of the Mississippiaa,
writing from Copiah county, in relation to
the time of holding the Democratic nomi-
mating Convention, says;
alt is perfectly useless 10 talk of meet
/ ing on the I'd Monday in May, for Two or
three strong reasons, which must be appa-
| rent to every one who will reflect for
| single moment. Fir5t-there are eleven
Judicial Districts in the State, and the Cir
cult Court in some one of the counties in
each Of these districts are holden on that
day. Jurors, witnesses, suitors, and mem
bers of the bar Of our party, will all have
to attend these courts, many of whom
would probably wish to attend the ConVen-
ton Secondy-thero are some fifteen,
twenty, or twenty-five counties in which
the Circuit Courts thereof are holden after
that time. At these courts most of the ci-
items will be in attendance, and then will
be the time to hold their primary meetings, |
and appoint their delegates. There cannot
will not be meetings of the people in re-
ference to this subject before the circuit |
courts are holden. ThirdIy--the large boz
dy of our party are aboring men, and so
early day will conflict so much with their
business that they will not attend. We
will have delegates but from few counties
the cry will be heard that it was but a small
g clique" attempting to dictate to the peo-
pie. Let us hold the convention in the
early part of July, when the farmers will
be more at leisure then we will doubtless
have a full meeting, and each and every
portion of the State can be heard. This
be the case if it is holden any time
n May"
The Dollar Democrat says
" We agree with our contemporaries of
he Mississippi Democrat, the Yazoo De-
nocrat, and Democrats Guide, that it is
neither eXpedient nor necessary to have
he Convention held at SO early a period
IS May"
We have not seen single good reason
dganced why the Convention should be
Ield earlier than the first Monday in July.
'ince we first suggested that time, WE have
with many democrats, and all
gree that a general representation from all
he counties cannot be secured at an ear!-
T time, and that July is quite soon enough
Or beginning the canvass. We hope
hat those who have proposed an earlier
ime, will give due consideration to the rea-
ons set forth by the correspondent of the
lississippian. General attendance may be
ad at meetings held during the approach
ng terms of the Circuit Courts and it will
letter suit the convenience of all who will
ttend the Convention, to hold it when
he courts are all over, and the farmers
comparatively at leisure. Let us have
General representation Of the whole party,
lot of few politicians about towns and
'illages. We hope the editors of the Mis-
issippian will act upon the suggestions Of
heir correspondent, and advocate the first
Monday of July as the most proper and
time for the assembling of the
Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1845-02-05

~ The aberdeen Advertiser says that a
4" Coalition has been formed between some
| leading democrats, aud the wings, and
that a full ticket will be offered at an early
day, composed chiefly Of anti-repudating
democrats"
We do not know that this is not so, and,
for one, we care not if it is SO. Nativism
seems TO have died a natural death, Or at
least seems to promise but sickly growth
on the soil of Mississippi; the bank, tariff,
and other doctrines of whiggery, never
have obtained the assent of the people of
the State, unless the temporary success Of
disguised coonery in 1910 be claimed as
such nor is there the remotest possibility
that whiggery, per Sc, will ever be popular
here. 1t is not improbable, then, that the
wings may endeavor again to take advan-
tage of the difference of opinion among de-
mocrats on the great question which has
heretofore been involved in our State cleo
lions nor is it impossible that visions Of
the giGed festoons of the national legisla-
tive chambers, or of the executive man
sion, may again delude bond-paying de-
mocrats into seconding their purposes
lending themselves to their uses. We
believe that such will not be the case that
our contemporary, like the false shepherd,
g cries wolf when there is no wolf" But
should it be so, land the paper from which
we have quoted says it has evidence of the
iact,) we have no fears but that large ma
crity of the people of the State will main
tain the position heretofore taSen-perhaps
ADVANCE step farlher-and that the allied
orces will meet with still more over
defeat than in the last State
election.

or We call attention te the communca-
ton Of "a Democrat" in relation to the
County Convention. Our columns are open
to all democrats who wish TO express their
views either as to the manner, or the
propriety, Of nominating candidates. 1t is
idle to deny that in nine cases out of ten
politics is made the test in these elections,
and we do not believe that worse selections
are made on that account. 1t is an anoma-
ly to hear that democrat is elected to any
office in the strong whig countless while
we can point to several counties giving
large democratic majorites, where all the
desirable Offices are held by wings. Coun-
