TO our PatOms.

We have it in contemplation, IN
a week or twJ, to ENLARGE and
otherwise improve the appearance
of the Wing.
In making this announcement,
we take this occasion to call on
our wing friends for their aid and
corporation. OF course, to effect
this object, we shall be compelled
to incureonsiderable additional ex-
pense; and to cover this, two or
three hundred new subscribers adj
ded to our list, and more liberal
advertising patronage from our
merchants, will suffice.
We are determined to devote our
whole and undivided attention to
the editorial and mechanical de-
partments Ofthe Vine sand In point
of quality and quantity reading Of
matter, and the mechanical execu-
ton of the paper, the Vine shall
not be surpassed by any of its CO.
tempaOrries.
We know that the citizens OF
Yazoo never withhold a patroniz-
ING hand when an object is presen-
ted to them worthy Of their patron
age. We promise, in no slight
manner, to do this and to do 1t
to your satisfaction we have
made the necessary arrangements
to carry it into successful operation,
and nothing remains for you to DO,
but to show a corresponding liber-

We appeal to you in sober serl-
business and earnestly;-You have
chided us for the shabby appear

our own. But, to cut matters short,
we have determined to publish a

The Tariff,

Prejudice will often cause men to act in
direct opposition TO reason and justice, and
will blind their eyes, though truth shOne
upon them as clear and luslTous as the noon
day sun. But we can assign no reason,
which would lead men 10 curse the instru.
ment, yet applaud results following the use
Of that instrument. " IT'S strange tits true,
but It's not more more strange than true,
and we must confess we could not believe
it, did we not see daily examples of such
conduct. This course Of conduct is almost
continually evidenced in nearly every 10,
cOfOcO Newspaper in the Union, upon the
subject Of the tariff. How often Go we see

these very same papers contain facts which
clearly prove the beneficial effects Of thin
same "bIack tariff Of AZ" Read the fol-

When We lsa our post rev weeks since
for the North, il was our intention TO give
10 the readers Of the WHIo an account of
eur trip and passing events in the form Of a
letter; and Immediately on our arrival at
Pittsburgh We wrote letter for publication,
but owing to the great nail facslitiesn our
letter did not arrive until the day after our
return home, we will, therefore, make but

When we arrived at Louisville we were
somewhat surprised to see the limited buisi>

not the hustle, animation and improvement
that we expected 10 see. On our arrival al
Cincinnati all was life and business, every
person appeared to be employed, the wharf
was crowded with goods of every descrip,
ton, and steamboats, busily engaged in dis,
charging and receiving freight. Arriving
at Pittsburgh we were astOnished to see the
business and improvement going on; the
"Burnt District" presented to oul view the
energy and enterprise Of the Pittsburghers

The Speaking ON Yesterday.


Agreeably-tO appointment, Messrs. Miles
and Battaile, addressed the people at this
place yesterday. As it is our custom to
print of the Wing on Thursday, we can
only give hasty account of The meeting.
We may notice the positions of the gentle
men more al large next week.
Judge Battaile opened with long address
of two hours and a half. He glanced for a
moment at federal politics, but devoted
most Of his time to the discussion of ques-
lions Of state policy, more particularly the
Briscoe bill. He assumed the same posi-.
tons which he heretofore assumed in his
previous addresses in this place, and which
We noticed in our paper.
He contended that the original Bill, was
merely remedial measure, in no way inter
fering or violating the obligation Of con-
tracts, but that the amendments introduced
By GWion are unconstitutional and do violate
the obligation of contracts: He argued his
side of the question very we'll, as ably we
expect as any man in the State could do.
But It's hard to "kick against the pricks; .
and Ill his elOquence and Iabored array Of
sOphistical arguments cannot convince the
people Of this district thai il is uncOnstitu.
tiOnal and violation Of the obligation Of
contracts to make man do that which /.
contracted to do.
We could not wait to hear The whole 81
Mr.. Miles address: We heard a portion 81
il, and from the expression upon the coun,
tenances of his hearers, they seemed "a
think that he was handling Judge B. with
unglOyed hands-p perfectly demolishinQ him,
