their children TO our Institutions of learn,

there are no cases Of scarlet fever &c., in

that we have, for .he last week, made par.
licular enquiry in relation to the subject,
and do assure them that our inquiries have
resulted in the pleasing intelligence. that
the health Of our town was never better. We

vlted TO attend and participate IN the servI-
ces Of the occasion.
Some friend in Jackson has sent US the
copy OF bill introduced by Mr.. McCaugh-
an. which has for its object the abolishmen Mt
of all security Liabilities. The bill pro
vides that 40 person who shall hereafter en-
dorse or sign as security any instrument of
writing, for the payment of money or the
performance of any conditions or slipula-
tions, between individuals capable by ma.
ture and law of contracting for themselves
shall not be held or bound for the payment
of the same. The bill further provides that
no person shall be bound in any CONNER
cial or business transaction. but the person
or persons who receive the bona yJfde con,
sideration for which the obligation was
given but the party selling or transferring
any property or other thing of value, shall
have and possess special mortgage lien
upon the same until the consideration is
paid. There are several other provisions
in the bill, all of which we consider as OBJ
iectionable as they could have been made.
Should Mr.. McCaughan's bill pass and be-
come law, we could .hen say that ultra
iocofocoism had taken one long stride to-
wards its darlirg object of agrarianism.-
We, however, cannot think for a moment
that our Legislature would even debate a
bill recommending such obnoxious meas.
ures. II gentlemen wish to put an imme
date stop 10 all the social and business In'
tercourse of life, we would then advise
them to pass such bill; but if they wish
our country TO be prosperous and our cill-
zens happy and contented let them reject 1t
with Indignation.

MExIco.-It will be seen from an article
in another column that the citizens of this

their destiny may be, but from the constant
changes that are taking place, it must be
self>evident to every refeciing mind, that
such people are not capable of self gov>
eminent, and must, sooner or later, cease
to exist as seperdte nation.

Thompson. Mr.. t. has been honored
with the importan. Post .of Chairman

becomes his duty TO give this subject a
full and thorough investigation. We hope
that no impedilneRt will be attempted 70 be

it is one in which many of Mr. Us constit
uents are deeply interested. If however.
fraud has been perpetraied we wish the
fraud brought immediately to light. but if
after full investigation into this much ag-
itated subject, the transaction between those
who bought the lands and the indians who
sold them, should prove to be honest and
legitimate, then we hope this subject will
no longer be introduced to agitate the pub,
