WAR BETWEEN THE FAcTIoNs.--The
Union and the Charleston Mercury are at
hard words. The former calls the latter an
"nsidious friend" and couples it with an
an affiliated press in Washington. The
Mercury replies:
"We advise the inmates OF the White House,
whether its menials or courtiers, to mind their
own AFFAIRS we are competent to manage ours"
This is very pleasant. We shall see, and
hear more Of this "brotherly affection" be-
tween the Polkites and Calhounites, when
Congress meets.

How do they like H?...-WM. McNAiR, who
figured as leader Of the HdrdS in the wars OF
the Locofocos in this city, two or three years
since, has now been appointed Register Of the
Land Office at Fayeue. Our citizens will recol.
lect the figure which he cut on those occasions to
which we alIude. Can it be, that the Howard
Land District could furnish no better materials
out Of which to make q Register Of Public
Lands?.. Republican.
If the people of the Howard Land Dis
trict had had the choosing of Register,
and the present Register had been before
them for their suffrages, we feel morally
certain he would not have received one
hundred votes in the District. If this
county, in which he has nominally resided
for the last six or eight years, had had the
furnishing of the Register, he certainly
could not have received twenty-five votes;
and in this town, where most of him has
been seen, and most is known of him, pc.
litically, religiously, morally and socially,
TEN VOTES is charitable allowance.
1t may we'll be imagined, then, that the
appointment does not sill very well. Blu
with this we have nothing to do. We
merely answer the question of the Repub
lican, so that the people at distance may
know that the people of this Land Distric
could have found better material for Reg
lister, had they had the liberty. And il
doing so, we have stated exactly what VIZ
seriously and canddIy believe, and wha
all with whom we have conversed believe

ANECDOTE OF FATHER TAYLOR.


While Father Tal Tor was delivering one
Of his powerful discourses at the Seamen's
Bethel, and sin the middle Of one Of his most
terrible pictures, an old rusty.looking salt
got I'D and was walking towards the door,
when the parson sung out the enemy flies

knocked him down, and now he is crawling
off Under his lower masts.' All eyes (the
church was crowded as ii is always when
he preaches) we've turned towards the sat-
Tor, who, preceiving that the last remarks
were leveed at him, turned round, and
looking the old man full in the face, said in
pretty loud voice-'you're damnaby mis-.
taken, old cock, if you think your shot has
made this craft haul oif,-you never saw the

sions followed. The whole audience was IN
an uproar some laughing, others more pi-
Gus, hushing and en- leav rng to restore
order. When all was qliet ag'in, Father
Taylor, by no means disconnected having
apparently enjoyed the joke himself-sald,
that is tough old sinner; but we have hull
led hin--he has got it hot and heavy be-
tween wind and water, and unless he hau|s
into the gospel dock, he'll 90 down all stand

sailor returned, and Father Taylor resum-
ed his discourse; and it is a remarkable fact
that he never lost sight OF the Old salt until
he succeeded in converting him. The sal

would blush to the eyes if any one would

The Editor Of the Dollar Democrat has
been on a trip of pleasure to the Gulf Tor
the "recOvery of his healtL" (2)-and pub.
fishes a very interesting and graphic sketch
of his tour. Among the many objects which
mst'ihe favorable notice Of The PdrSon, we
find the following vell-deserved and neriled
compliment paid to our worthy fellow.cii
zen, MAJOR LAMKIN, OF the PAonie House:
"PHeNIx noUsE.-One Of the best pub.
lie houses in Mississippi, is the Phoenix
House, Main street, Yazoo City, and one
Of the mos, genllemanly, liberal and atten.
tive landlords in Mississippi, is Jeremiah
Lamkin, Esq, keeper Of the Phoenix House
and Mayor of the city Of Yazoo. Stick a
pin there, my friends, and when you visit
that bustling and pleasant city, on the'banks
Of the dark YazoO, have your baggage taken
to the Ph@nix."
Every word of the above is true TO the
letter; and Major LAMKIN will pardon Us
for not taking an earlier notice of the many
improvements and additions which he bss
made TO the Phonix House. Since the
editor Of the Democrat passed through
here, we take pleasure in stating, that the
Ph9nix House has undergone thorough re
pair, and, with other Improvements added
make it one of the most Comfol table public
houses in Mississippi. ~

The Speaking at Benton.

10 accordance with previous appointment,
WALKER BROOKE, Esq, one Of the Wing
candidates for Congress, and Hon. JACOB
Thompson, one Of the locofoco candidates
for the same office, addressed the citizens
Of YazOO county at Benton on Monday last.
Mr.. Brooke opened the discussion with
alueid, argumenlative and eloquent address.
He took up and fully discussed and cIuci-
dated the most important questions Of federal
politics, in a clear and forcible manner.
We cannot pretend to do his arguments
justice in this nasty sketch, and must con.
tent ourselves with merely planeing at some
Of his positions.
The Tariff question frOt engaged his at,
tention. The mos prominent features and
effects Of which he discussed in most able
and satisfactory manner. He examined its
operation upon the several classes Of the
community, and proved to the satisfaction
Of every unparalleled mind, that il had the
effect which every measure Of government
should have, "the production Of the great
est good 10 the greatest number" He
showed from Mr. POlk's inaugural that h,
had abandoned this question to the Wings
that be entertained views upon the subjee
precisely similar TO those Of our own gal
lanl Harry; and that he clearly and dis
tlnctly laid down and defended that doctrin,
which the Wings had ever commended for
viz; ga Tariff for Revenue with incidenlu
Protection" Nc. Thompson protested erea
devotion 70 Mr. Polk, and said that he wOul,
support his administration heart and hand
but when asked BY Mr. B.ifhe would sup
port the views contained in Mr. Folks n
sugural, he ovaded the question. he had nc
the candor and decision to lay aside ancier
preiudices, and like Mr.. Polk, acknowledge
bis error, and confess the Wings we're riql
upon this great question.

The Tariff.

It now seems TO be pretty generally the
opinion throughout the Union, that Mr. Wal.
ker will not be able to effect reduction Of
the Tariff during the next Congress. The
deficiency in the revenue and the good
opinion Of the people, founded upon its
salutaFy effects on the prosperity Of the
country, will measurably tend TO defeat the
lOcofOcos in their destructive efforts to pros
trate Il. The Baltimore Patriot says:
sit is certain that the revenue during the
fiscal year which has just ended, viii fall
short of the amount Of the year before, and
in the mean time the objects of public ex>
penditure, on account Of our difficulties
with Mexico, are considerably increasing.
So that Mr.. Walker, most probably, will
end that he will be under the necessity Of
recommending to the next Congress- adds
tiOnal duties, to make up the deficiency in
the revenue, instead Ofadvising reduction
Of them"
