or The Washington Union thus beau
lifully alludes 10 the anticipated consum-
nation of the Union between the United
States and Texas, on the FOURTH OF july:
Such an event would invest the 4lh
of July with additional grandeur. Il
would add intellectually 10 the ecldt of its
annual commemorationy and afford anosher
reason for the boom of cannon, the merry
peal of bells, for bonffres, professions
and rejoicings. The friendly union of
two such great republics, would be well
worthy of the day and the associations
which serve to hallow il in our affections.
Both republics have achieved their indie.
pendence by struggling through the mires
and swamps, the mountains and precipices,
Unsuccessful revolution. As in the instance
of the voluntary union of two willing
hearts, previously attracted by reciprocal
attachment and the sweet hope Of pro-
spectiye felicity, America has "popped the
question" to Texas, whether she win con-
sent TO form a common household with
her, living and laboring together, as
unit, one and indivisible, "for better or
for worse" sharing in each others tolls,
and inheriting common destiny. Ame-
RIGA has sought this union in no spirit of
self-aggrandizement, but with fervent
and sympathetic desire that both repub-
lies might be benefited nationally, and
prove mutually serviceable in the great
work of proving MANS capacity for self
government. America has sought to ac-
quire territory, not by conquest, but by
contract; not by the keen edge of the
sword, hut by the milder edge of the pen.
She seeks its consummation now, mot on the
battle. field, and in blood, bat on parch-
ment, shedding only few drops of harm
less ink. The success of this great mea.
sure, on the 4th of July, will be an event
worthy of the era of l776. 1t will bring
the classic grounds of Bunker Hill and
San Jacinto under the same paternal roof.
The bones of Warren and his gallant COM
patriots, and of Crockett and his brave
band, will then lie Wondering, as it were,
on the same soil. America and Texas will
be forever s'one and insepara5le," bidding
defiance to the combined powers Of the
civilized world, and threading the same
road to freedom and to grandeur Hea-
ven bless the Union! And may we be
able to say, from the lips of inspiration,
and in The mystic spirit of the holy we'd
lock between man and woman, "those
whom God hath joined together, let no man
put assundern'

or There seems to be much dissatisfac-
ton among the Democracy of Alabama, at
the nomination Of Col. NAT: TERRY for
Governor Large Democratic meetings in
Benton and Cherokee counties have pro-
tested against his nomination. The charg-
es are--That he is large debtor Ito the
amount of O,O00 or SAC, oo0) to the State
Bank; that he is in favor Of indulging
(''relieving'') the Bank debtors, at the ex-
pense of the people of the State, g collect
ing the least amount from the bank debtors,
and the largest amount by taxation.; that
he is intellectually deficient; that his no.
mination was informal, and contrary TO the
usages of the party and lastly, that he is
notorious, open, and avowed gambler
We believe all these charges are well
founded, and should rejoice to hear of his
defeat, provided he be not defeated by a
whig--all of whom are in favor of re-
lieving' the poor unfortunate bank debtors,
at the expense Of the opulent, sun burnt,
hard-fisted fellows, who "dig in the dirt,''
and never get bank favors. They seem to
think this latter class born expressly to fell
the forests in the winter, till the fields in
summer, and pay tares creoted By Bank
sOindLing, that the former class may spend
their winters in frolicing on the steamboats,
and at Mobile, their summers at the Springs
or at the North, and thus keep up the re-
spectability and chivalry of society, 1.-THE
delight of whiggery,) and curtail the privi-
leges of the poor! Col. VIM. B. MARTIN,
of Cherokee, democrats whom we
suspect to be an old-fashioned clodhopper,
who does not set so high value upon re-
spectability and chiva!ry, and who is in IA
vor of making Terry and all the bank deb
tors pay their own debts or make delivery
to the sheriffs of the property they have
acquired by bank favors, and of leaving
others to enjoy the proceeds of their own
industry--has announced himself as can
didate, with pledge that he will withdraw
should any wing take the field. May he
Democracy of our sister State come forth
from this contest successfully,--purgeC

We learn, verbally, that Judge VIII
KNsoN and Mr.. ADAMS have accepted the
democratic nomination as candidates for
Representatives from Yazoo. A strong
ticket, and we confidently anticipate their
election by handsome majority. Our
friends in all the counties should strive to
put their best men in the Legislature -
The State is recovering from the embar-
rassments caused by reckless partial legis-
lation, and wise, equitable policy for the
future, win be the foundation of lasting
prosperity.
Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1845-06-11

or At a meeting of the Democratic party
Of Madison county, at Canton, last week,
the following preamble and resolution was
offered by OWEN VAN VACrER, ESQ.,:
Whereas, it is probable, from present in
dications, that there will be number of
democratic names before the next Legisla-
ture, as candidates for the vacant seat in
the United States Senate.
And whereas, under such circumstan-
ces, small portion of the democrats, by
uniting with the body of the wings, may
fill said seat with the individual least ac-
ceptabIe to the great mass of our party.
And whereas, such a state of things is
calculated to have an unfavorable influence
upon the purity of democratic principles,
and upon the political integrity of our dis
tinguished men.
And whereas, it is desirable that the
great democratic principle-THE RIGHT OF
THE MAJORITY TO RUBE-should, at all times,
be seen, felt, and acknowledged, in the Sc
lection Of candidates, as well as in the APP
pointment of officers: Therefore
ResolUed, That we recommend TO our
democratic brethren throughout the State
to require of their candidates for the Lee
gislature pledge to support, for United
States Senator. the individual who shall be
found, by caucus of the democratic MEM
bers next January, to be the favorite of the
majority.
On motion of Col. VIM. r. Hill, said pre-
amble and resolution was laid on the table
by vote of 30 to %, many others not
voting.
The preamble and resolution lays down
a principle just in itself, salutary in its ope.
ration. essentially necessary to the main,
senance Of effective political organization
and we are astonished that it shold have
met with a word of opposition in an assem-
bly of men protesting themselves demo
erats--much more that the principle ad
vanced should have been repudiated by !
democratic meeting. The right Of the ma
ioritv to govern, is a cardinal principle il
this government, and the popular vii
the democratic polar star-the guide and
vuIe Of action. Nor is this principle les
s.lutary o. essential TO the action Of par
49, than Of the government. We need Of

SEASONS, CROPS, &C.

We have had fine rains since our last
issue, which were much needed in some
portions of the county. In this immediate
neighborhood, the season has been so far
exceedingly favorable, and the crops OF
corn and cotton are very promising. We
are told that the cotton in the Yazoo val
ley is Unusually fine--but the cotton crop
everywhere is so liable to injury, from so
many causes, that few can tell what they
will make until ready for market. The last
years. crop, in consequence of the great
overflow, &c. it was confidently predicted
would fall several hundred thousand bales
below the usual average. But the actual
receipts show that it will reach the i'm
mense amount of 2,450,0OO bales--an
increase of more than 100000 bales over
last season. We notice less complaint
than usual in the newspapers, of misfor-
tunes TO the growing crop. The Yazoo is
at low stage, and but few boats are
now running.
