TO THE PEOPLE OF
HOWARD AND CHARLTON COUNTIES.

FELLOW DEMONSTRATING received the
nomination by the people Of Charlton County,
to represent you in the proposed convention,
TO remodel the constitution Of this Stale, ]
conceive it to be my duty, nasmuch as can
not see you all personally, to give you a
statement Of my views relative to the altera-
tions proposed to be made to the Constitution be-.
When | was nominated it was my intention
to canvass the two counties at large-to talk
with my felloW-citzens, and ascertain if pos
sible the opinions OF all; 80 that in the event
should be- elected, might reflect the true
will of the people; but circumstances Of do
rnestic nature, and the sickness Of my family
have so far prevented me from carrying out
my wishes
| am opposed to any alteration Of the con>
stilution, further than what is absolutely ne>
cessary.
consider experimenting on such an impor-
tant subject dangerous in the extreme and
highly improper
The principal question that will occupy the
time of the convention, will be the best mode
Of equalizing representation. 1t was TO ac-
compsh this great ami laudable object that
the convention was called by the people-and
| desire that il shall be done so as 10 secure
an equal political influence to the same numo
Der Of white male population, whether they
reside in the centre OF the State, or on the
| frontier; whether in densely or sparsely popu
uiated counties. Giving the same rights and
privileges, to the same number Of every sec.
ton, consider one of the first principles OF de,
mocracy.
In relation to the Judiciary OF our State
limit the tenure Of their Office to six or eigh
years, and it seems to me that the mode o
| their appointment is matter of minor conse
uuence-whelher it be done by joint vote o
both branches Of the Legislature, or, by
direct vote of the people. | however, Prefe

deem it unnecessary TO enter into further de
tails of my opinion, on the present occasion
This yet hope may be able to do face 10 fac
with the people before the election.
But If after q residence of twenty>ihre

CONVENTION.

We see that the notorious G. F. Jackson
is candidate for the Convention in the
Howard district. And what is stranger
than ALL he declares that he is in favor of
equal representation; but says that the
whole number of Representatives must not
exceed 100 or 100 or 100. Can G. F.
Jackson, after voting against an amend.
ment by the Legislature TO equalize repre-
sentation, and after voting for an immense
batch Of new counties for the purpose of
rendering representation unequal, now sup
pose that any one can believe that he is in
favor Of equal representation? Does he
not know that if the thinly populated coun-
ties be by The Constitution deprived of a
member that they will unite and prevent
the adoption of the new Constitution when
| framed? This he must know. And he
must also know, that if the whole number
shall not exceed 100 that several counties
will unitedly form but one district, and send
but one member. Such provision in a
new Constitution will insure its defeat.
Nothing should be said in the Constitution
as to the whole number, or number from
each county--let the people be free TO act
as they may think proper in these particu-
lars. How can any one have the impu-
dence TO tell free people that heis in favor
of equal representation, and at the same
time declare that he is in favor of GER
tain measure which will be sure to defeat,
that object. An awful responsibility rests
on the dominant party in Missouri. They
can, if they choose, twist and turn, and de-.
ceive the people on the subject of equal
representation, but when free and intell-
gent people shall have patiently waited the
action of the coming Convention, and find
that they have ne participation in levying
taxes on themselves 10 support the Govern
ment, and in consequence thereof refuse to
pay taxes until equally represented, awful
must be the fate of the demagogues who
in the name of Democracy have ruined the
county, Paris Mercury.

We publish to-day the Circular Of L.
Applegate, of Charlton, to the voters Of
this Conventional District. The only ques
ton in which the people of this county are
interested-or at least the one in which
they feel most interested, is Equal Repre-.
sentation. On this subject, Mr., A. is moi
explicit enough. If, in addition 10 wha,
he says on this subject, he had added that
he was opposed to increasing the number
of representatives beyond 100, he would
have gained hundreds Of friends, while he
is now losing ground as fast as his circular
is read. Mr.. AS card corrects, to some ex
tent, the rumor published in our last ir
reference to his views of representation.

ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC.

The Liverpool Times Of The 4th June
says: there seems at present some, perhaps
not remote prospect, that the long talked
of junction between the Atlantic and Paci.
fc Oceans may be carried out. A gentle
man is at present in London, striving 10 in.
terest the great capitalists in the specula.
ton and that he is armed with necessary
powers by the Mexican Government, and
as money is abundant for all purposes which
present the least chance of fair and safe
investment, it's not improbable that he NAV
succeed. 1t seems that Don Jose de Garay,
with some Mexican officers, an Italian
engineer, Don G. Moro, have been EN-.
ployed upwards OF year in surveying the
district OF Tehauntepec, and that the re-.
suit OF their investigations have satisfied the
great French authority, Arago, and other
eminent scientific men in this country and
on the Continent, that The new scheme in
feasible, and may be successfully carried
out.
Garaway is guaranteed by the Govern
ment, for period of fifty wears, two. thirds

CALIFoRNIA.--The Washington CORES.
pondent of the New York Journal of Com
merce says that Gov. Shannon, late Minis
ter to Mexico, has made full communi-
cation to the State Department, on the sub
ject of the results of his mission, the pre-
sent condition and policy of Mexico, and
the character of our relations with that
Government. The letter adds
Mr.. Shannon fully confirms the truth of
what had been strongly surmised before,
that the British Government had got some
hold upon the CALIFORNIA;. She has taken
a mortgage upon them TO secure the pay
ment to her subjects of debts to the amount
of $26,O0O,OOO. Our Government has, |
learn, official knowledge of this transac-
ton. That Great Britain will foreclose
the mortgage in due time l have not the
least doubt. The fine bays and harbors OF
that region are of immense importance to
her--vastly more so than the Oregon ter
ritory. In the event of war between the
United States and Mexico, the CALIFORNIA;
wonld become ours, unless Great Britain
herself mingled in the strife, and, under
present circumstances, she would hardly ha.
card an unnecessary war. Her policy is
manifestly TO make peaceful acquisition
She may, moreover, secure a lasting peace
with this country by yielding her claim tc
Oregon, as she may well afford to do, if
she is to have the undsturbed possession Of
the CALIFORNIA;.

THE GREAT WESTERN AND SOUTH
WESTERN CONVENTION,

The writer having returned from Mem
phis few hours only before the Telegraph
goes to press, will necessarily circumscribe
the remarks we desire TO make in regard
10 this first great concerted movement of
the West and South, in endeavoring to
secure for The future the rights that belong
to us; but which, by the injustice of the
North and East. have heretofore been
withheld. We never were in a Conven-
ton of any kind, in the proceedings of
which we felt or took deeper interest and
such apparently was the sensation produced
in the mind of every member of this de-
Lucrative body. All we regret is, that our
limits as TO time and space will not admit
of our going the length into this matter,
that the importance of the subject de-
mands.
The Convention was organized on the
fourth instant, in Concert Hall. Memphis,
by temporarily calling to the Chair Maj.
Finley the Mayor of that city. and the
appointment Of N. Watkins, Esq, as Sec
rotary. A committee of seven was then
appointed to nominate officers; who, after

UThe old Globe faction seem intent
on showing Polk to be as big a rascal as
the rest of them. Polk, it is well known,
acquired his greatness by hanging to the
skirts of Gen. Jackson's coat. 1t now

feet, he not only let go of the Generals
tail but gave him kick-or in other words,
disobeyed orders, in the dismissal of Blair,
which "sorely grieved" the old man. Mai.
Lewis, one of the prescribed, is publishing
letters from the old General, in which Polk
is spoken of in very light, not to say con,
temptuous, terms. "My Dear Blair" and

blow Polk up, and if unremilting exerlons,
backed by Jackson letters, will do it, they
will succeed.

"Tbe following article from the
Quincy Herald, handed US for publication
by friend should be attentively perused
and pondered on by many of the parents
in this place, who allow their children to
run about the streets at night. 1t contains
much truth and we believe there is no town
in the west, where children are allowed 10
DO so much as they please as in Fayette.
Parents should look to this matter before
it is too late. Boys can learn no good by
prowling about the streets from dark till

Mothers, If you would train u your children
to be useful members Of society, keep them from
running about the streets. The great school Of
juvenile vice is the street. There the urchin
learns the vulgar OATH, or the putrid obscenity.
For one lesson at the Preside, he has dozen in

falsehood, gambling, theft and violence. Moth
ers, as you love your own flesh and blood, make
your children cling 10 the hearthstone. Love

domestic treasures; set an example in this, as in
all lhngs' which your offspring may follow. 1t 10
an error 10 think that children may be left 10 run
wild in every sort Of street temptation, for sew
eral years, and that it will then be time enough
to break them in. This horrid mistake makes
half our sPendthr(s, gamblers, thieves and drunk.

such principles no man would suffer the weeds
to grow up in his garden Tor any length Of time,
saying that he could eradicate them at any time.
