Mr.. EditOr.-How much soever we may
deplore the rancor which characteristics the
action of portion Of the Democratic party
in the State, in prefering the claims of their
several favorites to succeed the Hon. r. ].
Walker in the Senate of the United States,
it nevertheless exists, and as we cannot
quell it, it becomes important for us, without
engaging particularly in the controversy
to consider how far our own interest may
be forwarded thereby. You have doubt
less not failed to observe the instructions
given by several counties to their Delegates
to the Convention to meet at jackson, the
first Monday in this month, viz "To op-
pose any nomination by that body, of can
didate for United States Senator" urging
as a reason therefor, a desire to leave the
action of the Legislature upon the sub
ject untrameled" --disclaiming all the while
any wish to participate in what they term
the "unhapPy controversy" The OBJ
jet Of such course clearly is to advance
the interest of one faction, and thwart those
Of another-and although the object may
not be altogether an unholy one-the means
l conceive very Objectionable, it is in effect
saying, that those in the eastern part of the
State shall select the Senator-to the exclu.
sion Of alarge and respectable portion of
tho Democracy in the western part of the |
State, and who mutually compose the flower
of the Democracy in Mississippi. The
thinly settled counties in the eastern Dor.
ton of the State viii have controlling
voice in the Legislature upon this subject,
unless from the division in the Democratic
rank, the Wings gain the ascendency.-l
By such course, the counties Of Warren,
Kinds, Madison, Adams, Holi1es and 9th.
ers win be deprived Of all participation in
the selection Of suitable person to repre-
sent themi in the Senate.of the United States,
and in some Of the counties, too, there is
q much larger number Of Democrats than
others who send their Democratic Repre-.
sentatives to the Legislature, and they
must give place to minority forsooth, be.

MINISTER TO ENGLAND. The Presi.
dent has conferred this important appoint.
ment upon Louis McLane. He has held
many high and important stations in our
country his promotion will doubtless
prove satisfactory to the people generally.
The Washington Union pays him the fol-
lowing well nerited compliment.
"He seems eminently calculated to meet
the present crisis between the two coun-
tries. This able and experienced gentle-
man accepts the Office of minister at the
most distinguished court in the world, at
one of the most eventful crises which could
occur in the relations between the two
countries, and when the most important in
terests of his own nation are involved in
the issue. He carries with him to the court
of st. James great talents, extended exPe-
rience, particularly at the court, where he
represented the interests OF the
United States with great distinction. PrG- !
dent firm, and sagaciOus, he will assert and
the rights of his own country,
without violating the respect which is due
% the British Government. He is orthO-
lox on the great questions which now d.
tide the country and in none more so than
,nthe important question of Texas and
oregon"

You cannot deny that there were among
the Hebrews "Bond-men forever" You
cannot deny that God especially authorised
his chosen people to purchase "BOnd-men
forever" from the Heather, as recorded in
the 25th chapter of Leviticus, and that they
are designated by the very Hebrew word
used in the Tenth Commandment. Nor
can you deny that d "Bond-man forever"
is a Slave yet you endeavor to hang an
argument Of immortal consequence upon
the wretched subterfGge, that the precise
word slave is not to be found in the trans.

meaning, must be regarded as His Revela.

GEN. DAWSON OF LoU1sIANA.-The
death of this distinguished son of the south
will be a source of much regret to his
friends, and the people generally. He was
an unwavering Democrat, but his noble
ness of heart, and honesty of purpose won
for him the regard of all parties. The Peo-
pie of Louisiana whom he has represen-
ted in Congress for several years with con-
siderable ability, viii deplore, and deeply
feel his loss.

Gov. HAMMoND's LETTERS on SLAvERY.
TO day we commence the publication Of
the very able and argumentative letters Of
Governor Hammond of South Carolina, up
on the subject of slavery. No one who is
not prejudiced against the institutions Of the
South, can peruse them without perceiying
the injustice of those desperate fanatics
who wage against them such an unholy
crusade. We hope no one will be deferred
from per,ising them on account of their
length.

reflects much credit on the disernment and
good judgement of President Polk for
more gallant and meritorious person could
not have been selected. We understand
he has taken with him that trusty and OK.
perienced sword which was the companion
of the hero Of New Orleans throughout the
late wary Weekly Union.
II have carefully examined the within
declaration of General Armstrong for
pension, and do hereby certify that it is true
in all its parts and l do further certify,
that in the battle of the 23d Of January,
1914, called and known by tho name Of
Enotochopco, the shameful flight of my
rear guard produced panic and confusion in
my whole army, that it was the unflinching
bravery of then Lieutenant Armstrong, &C.

"YazoO Democrat"
The Caledonia Liverpool accounts
to the 4th ult. are at hand, and unfavorable;
cotton had declined an I'D. The Stock in
Liverpool was over 100000 bales, and rap.
idly increasing. The manufacturers had
purchased largely, and having fully supplied
themselves, it was presumed the demand
would be much lessened. The next ac-
counts we fear will show a further decline,
but there is one solid basis for hope-in the
fact that nearly all the cotton has gone for
ward for English account, which will pre-.
vent holders from submitting to any very
material decline. The accounts will have
no influence here, as the stock is now SO
unimportant, that it is not sufficient for the
demand. Prices are firm at previous quo
tations.
