from the neighboring granaries of our own
country will be abundant enough to enable
these arrangements to be carried into full and
beneficial effect. If the evil were as great az
supposed and feared, we should ere this have
felt its effects in anticipation, in the already
enhanced price of grain; but, on Saturday last

the Office of The JMiss,ssippian, that the democ-

great anti-bond question Of the day, &c, The
conductors of the MississipPan have been
grossly misled by these persons. i repeat wha,

who professed to come from Marion county, il
by that is meant that they are citizens of the
county. After dilgent enquiry, have been
able to find but two persons, citizens OF the
county, who have lately been TO Jackson. One
OF these, whom | haves not been able to con-
verse with since seeing the article in the Mis-
sissippian, expressed very different impressions
to me on his journey toward jackson, and the
other told me that he had not visited the Mis-
sissippian office, and in fact, that he did moi
know that there was such an Office in your ci-
~. know that no one who has the means Of
knowing the general sentiments ofibis county,
has been in Jackson for considerable length
Of time, except MIR. Summers, the first named
gentleman, who is a wing, and very clever
gentleman, and who certainly would not so
grossly misrcpresent us. Will the Missssip-
plan name its two informants ''from Marion
county," SO that we may find out who they are
that have SO sadly misrepresented the clearly
expressed will Of Marionl As aproof Of what
Ihave asserted, Mr.. Elias Stewart, who is pled-
ged to vote against the repeal Of Judge 1uion's
amendment and against the original Briscos
Bill, runs without opposition for the Legisla-
ture from this unity.

RELrcs.-In digging a well on the battle
groundat Bunker Hill lately, several skeletons
were discovered, being the remains Of some Of
those who persisted in the battle Of the 18th
June, I776. Quite number Of metal buttons,
numbered from 43 to 50, were also thrown up.
These would seem to have belonged to the
enemy, as they bear the number Of several Of
their regiments, and as it is well known that
none such were worn by the Americans. The
other articles consist Of knee buckles, muskei
balls, and copper coin, the latter being too
much coroded to discover their character or
dates The place where their remains and re-
lies were found, is supposed to have formed a
part Of one Of the main entertainments at the
time Of the battle, and that the bodies were CO.
vered up where they fell, or were thrown in
Immediately after the eonfiict.-Sat Psn.

We look with anxious interest 10 every
indication Of the course Of the Admins.
tralion on the Tariff. After 50 many shin.
wrecks, we are not easy Of faith; bun
none will more heartily rejoice in the con.
summation Of an honest policy none will
sustain ~ilh warmer, uuer aid, any effort

They will hold its authors to be The deI.
verers Of the country.
We are not satisfied with The tariff doc.
trines of the lnaugural--stil less with The
complexion Of the Cabinet in reference 10
this question, ond VIC so freely expressed
our opinion. The Secretary Of the Trea-
study, however, was not liable to objection.
His past position has been distinct and
firm, on the free trade side; his abilities
and industry are unqueslionable, and il
he realize all that the one and the other
demand of him, he will win for himself 4
fame that will need no accession 10 ensure
him place among the greatest benefactors
of the country. We will hope for the best.
But let him beware of compromises Of
shrinking FROM the plain line Of principle;
of depending on the faithless aid of the
protective party. The notion of many is
tina. this mighty question of The principles
of taxation is to be settled by buying over
a portion Of the monopolisls making
the best bargain we can. We surrender
everything when we throw away the armor
of principle--when we concede that pro-
lection to one peculiar interest is legti-
mate. We doubt not that any one of the
Tariff States would gladly sell all the rest,
if it could quarter itself peaceably and
permanently on the Federal Treasury
But such bargains are as destitute Of Sc.
curly as they are of honesty. We desire
none of them-we will be satisfied with
none Of them. Give us revenue Tariff
Let us hencelorlh be taxed only for The
support of the Government. We want no
such free trade as tariff to raise revenue,
and to project Pennsylvania.
We trust the Secretary Of the Treasury
will not for a moment wayer in the pur-
pose of restoring the government 10 its
legitimate action on the Tariff; that he
will take no halfway measures that yield
every principle and settle nothing. Let
him march right ON in an undertaking
course, determined to plant firmly and for
all time, the honest principle Of "a revenue
tariff.

When England sees the United States
is not 10 be frightened or managed out Of

on our southern borders are left TO her,
she may feel disposed to sell us the pro-

der. We need them, and she does not
fair reason for treating; they are an ex-
pensiye charge 10 her, and would be an
acquisition to US, though not so profitable
as TO Justify extravaganza terms. We were
the first to advocate the annexation of Tex
as, and in advance Of President Tyler, of
Senator Walker, and Gen. Jackson, gave
the arguments they have since adduced in
its favor. Since then, we have seen eve
ry distinguished statesman, but Daniel
Webster, come with more or less reluc-
lance TO the same views. la the same
faith, and with similar confidence in the
results, we come forward to advocate the
purchase of the Canadas 1--WE use that
term for convenience, and mean 10 in

England along that extended and defence

England's mercy. Before we could ga

Not den will be left on our borders from
which the Bri,ish Lion can growl OF
havoc and dosolation. Fair purchase Of
her expensive and troublesome colonies,
and lasting peace with us, would secure
to England her present dominion over the
patched and complicated machinery Of
European politics, and would give US what
we need, an ocean boundary, which would
save us infinite expense in Notifications,
and require no guardianship beyond the
countless steamships which, in ten years,
will swarm and cluster like bees about our
coasts and harbors.

Or We copy an article from the Demo-
cratic Review in relation to the amount
of Gold and Silver in the Union. We do
so, because the statistics are valuable for
reference and preservation, and not with
tho intention, at this late day, of combat
ting the already sufficiently exploded can't
ing humbug of whigery, that "lhcrc is not
enough gold and silver TO transact the bu-
sincss OF the country" Experience, and
the discussion Of the subject, have convn-
ccd almost all thinking men that the whole
system of paper money and paper credits
is founded in error, fruitful Of fraud and
injustice, and at war with the interests Of
the mass Of the people. The 1" facilities
afforded by the issue of paper money, are
but drafts upon the creduIily, and leviee
upon the honest industry, Of tho producing
classes. If tho government wero to give
charter, or grant license, to the officers Of
the mints 10 debase and corrupt the coin OF
the Republic, the evil would not be SO
great, nor tho injustice aud iniqui,y SC
glazing, as the chartcring OF companies ic
corrupt the currency by emissions of paper.

Dear Sir: am pleased with the reso-
luton introduced by Col. BooNE, at tho
Tishemingo meeting. That shows the
right spirit, All our late members of Con-
gress are more or less guilty of aiding
and abctting spectators. The Chicsosaw
bill was certainly intended ior the benefit
of spEcULAroRs. Our mon did not oppose
il at first. Thompson was, on its recon
sidorotion, reluctantly dragged into oppos-
ing it. By reading his speech, you will
see that he makes disgraceful admissions.
Tucker ADVOCATED the infamous bill to
the last. II Roberts and Hammelt oppos.
cd the bill Ivy their votes, it was only on
the reconsideration, which shows that at
heart they were in favor Of it, or they
would have opposed it at first. The mo-.
lion TO reconsider, as can be seen by the
Congressional Globe, was made at the sug-
geston Of Cave johnson, Of Tennessee
so that to him belongs the credit OF de-
feating that Infamous bill that would have
defrdaded either the Indians, the govern
ment, or the settlers, for the benefit Of cold
hcdrted spectators.
Men that would quietly let such bill
pass "a llecting their constituents 10 a great
extent injuriously as that would have done
are unfit to be trusted with the destinies
Of tho Stale of Mississippi.
