Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1846-03-25

gfeHai0nal synopsis bkelcu Of We eNciliDg
debate 10 the Senate on The 6th. We can
not for moment believe that President
Polk authorized The statements made by
Mr.. Haywood. that portions Of the message
are only +" Stockings in, paranlhercaliy, to
appesse the uirasm Of the country, never
meant TO be carried Out, and that the Pre-
sidoni was not committed 10 claim the
whole Of Oregon up 10 81 40 The con-
clusion Is Irresistible that Mr.. Haywood
mus. be demenied, or that he considers al
others of mankind in That depIorabIe situa-
alton. Why, we have n our Office little
boy ten years old, assisting as 10 set types,
and if be could not prove, from "rretra-
gible facts" Of record, that Mr.. Polk is
committed for the whole Of Oregon up to
81 40, we would advise bis parents to
send him to some receptacle ior Idiots
Senator Haywood's friends should have an
eye 70 him.
or The act usually known as the " new
Woman's law" will be found on The FIRST
page of this paper We have before taken
occasion to express our humble approval
Of It's provisions, and the spirit which dc
lated IT, Our contemporary of the Holly
/ Springs Gazette, in paragraph comment
ing on the act, says
We are not in favor Of giving them the
entire proceeds Of their farms, when the
husband contracts all debts in bis own
name, for the maintenance Of the family
and support Of the farm. We know TOO
many Instances in our own county, where
husbands, hopelessy insoIvent, contract
debts, aud screen their property behind the
wife's petiicoat. We we're willing to give
them our hat and our coat, but not our
brooches"
That is all worry facetious, and would be
of some force if the act provided that the
husband, alone, should be responsible for
all debts contracted fortho support of the
farm and family. Look again, br. Falco-
ner, and we think YOU will agree with us
that the law, in It's intent and spirit, is a
very good law--making marriage, as far as
property is concerned, as il should be, a
simple parlnership-only protecting the
woman against the misconduct of her
husband.
