CAssIus M. CLAY AND HIS Pass. -
Since our last, we learn from our exchange
papers that this desperately wicked and in
famous press has been stopped by com.
mi!tee appointed for that purpose, by a
large and respectable meeting Of The citi-
zens of Lexington, and its vicinity. The
whole proceedings we're conducted, we are
pleased to find, with great order, and for
tunately no blood was shed. The commit
Tee entered the ONCE of the "True Ame-
rican,' and proceeded quietly 10 pack up
in boxes the press and type used in getting
up the paper, and then had them shipped
to Cincinnati. II is cause Of great gratu-
lation that this effort TO suppress paper
which, for its Infamous publications has
never been surpassed in the South, was
accomplished SO orderly. The South should
look well to this matter now, while they
may, before they shall be plunged into
seryile war by the wicked hearts and de-
PRAYED minds Of fanatics. We think un.
der all the circumstances, that this man
Clay escaped well with his life, for we
doubt not had he and his press been some
few degrees further South, that the nui.
sance would have been abated in d rather
more summary manner. We trust now
that Clay, should he still desire to PRINT
and publish this infamous paper, viii be-
take himself to the North, where he can
revel in all of The incendiarism that free
negroes and abolitionism can generate.

The INDEPENDENT TREASURY. - We

Fnom Mexico ~ BY the steam vessel
Augusta, from Matamoras, which place
she LEFT on tho 18th instant, we have re-
ceIved The following items Of news:
The Mexican executive advised Con-
gress that in his opinion they oughtto pay
no regard to the delays stipulated in the
treaties between that country and the Uni
ted States, as notice was given months
ago 10 the American government Of what
might be expected.
Well informed persons, however, believe
that the Mexican government wants mo-
ney loo much to move at present, and only
talks of war ia order 10 fl their loans.
They hope the difficulties will be arrang.
ed thro' the interference Of foreign powers.
Extract Of letter TO Capt. Gille,t, of
the steam schr. Augusta, dated Matamoras:
"The papers from Mexico and Monte
rey by the mail, bring the following items
of important news. On the 22d July, the
government communicated 10 Congress a
declaration Of war against the U, States,
TO take effect as soon as American troops
arrive 10 Texas--but the government re-
commends that Congress pass the bill for
a loan Of $l5,0O0,000 before the wal bill.
1t appears that the loan is negotiated, at
least SO the papers give US 10 understand.

sui at New Orleans, the general command.

be covered.
On the day the Augusta started, Gen.

Gen. Paroles is on the march to Monte.
rey with 5000 men. Gen. Gaona is also
on the march with 5000 men.

The CANVASS, The congressional can.
vass is beginning to wear more interest
ing face. Capt. Starke, Of Lowndes, has
announced his determination 10 meet ex-
Gov. M'Nult at several places before he
reaches Columbus, at which point they
will be joined by P. w. Tompkins, esq,
on the 10Th Of September. Jefferson Da-
Wis, esq. has already addressed the people
at several poinis, disarming the feeble OPP
position which three or four disappointed
letter writer's in and about Vicksburg, es-
sayed to organize against him. He is a
tower Of strength 10 our cause, and wher-
ever he goes, whiggery and milk -and-waier
democracy will disappear before him
Hon. Stephen Adams is not idle. Having
more personal strength with the masses
than any other in all his populous region
oil the State, he minges with the people,
advancing his own and the cause of his
party; ho will probably meet Starke and
Tompkns in the Chickasaw country; and
when those gentlemen get East of Pearl,
they will find the old wur-horse Roberts
armed and ready for the fight.
Gen. Henry, having declined running
for Governor, il is probable that whiggery
will present no candidate in opposition to
Gov Brown. His administration has af-
fordcd such general satisfaction that the
opposition which he met in The democratic
ranks, when he was first candidate, has
been entirely silenced, and fault finding
whiggery cannot assai him.
We have heard nothing from the can.
didaies Of the wing party for the ministe-
rial offices in the executive department.
As they have not declined. we presume
they will run. [Misstssippian.

CANvAssING FOR THE SENATE.--It may
be remembered that we we're among few
of the democratic editors who expressed a
reluctance TO see our candidates for the u,
5. Senate take the stump and canvass the
State. But we doubted only the erpedi-
ency Of the move at the present moment,
when there was no wing opponent on the
field, and when the contest would Of course
be between good men of our own party.
AS to the propriety of such a thing, and
It's accordance with democratic principle,
we cannot see how any democrat can
doubt; and we are astonlshed to see from
democrats charge that il is unidentified
for such candidates to come before the
people.
Undigaifed to go directly 10 the true
soyereigns, the source of all power and
honor! Can man, who holds that the
people are our only princes, belle his prin.
cipes SO far as 10 say that they is any of.
flee so high that the candidates for it sa.
crifce their dignity by going Immediately
before thomi
IN democratlctNlisssslpp the custom OF
going directly before the people, for all Of
fees, high or low, is sanctioned by long
custom, as well as by sound reason. For
this office of U. S. Senator, the most emf
nent men who have ever represented Mis-
sissippi, or sought to do so, have sanction
cd the custom.
MIR. Poindextor went before the people
directly, and canvassed the State for
seat in the Senate. Me-. Walker did The
same both in 1884 and '39. Mr.. Prentiss
also did the same.
And who, with any independence would
not prefer going at once to the uncorrupt-
ed sovereigns, 10 cringing and clectioneer-
ing around members Of the legislature
who cannot, in our theory of government,
be considered other than the servants or
agents of masters2
We are firm for the true republicnnism
Of this custom; and though we doubt the
expectancy Of the present canvass, we
can never see with patience the charge
advanced that il Is nndignifed to go before
the people for such offices. [Seniiael.
