many injuries result from the habit Of per-

debts Of others, yet it is frequently safe
guard by which the rights of the innocent

in no good whatever, still, we contend that
lii is private transaction among indiyidu-
ais, with which the Legislature has no right
to interfere. "The best government is
that which governs least, is maxim which
many of our legislators, either from mis-.
conception Of their duties, or vain desire
to acquire noteriety seem to have entirely

There are other features in this extraor.

TIE PLANTERS BANK BONDS.

THE PLANTERS BANK BONDS.
The Planters Bank bond question is one
Of paramount interest to the people of MIS-
sissippi, and in view of the various move
ments POLITICIANS and LEGISLATORS have
recently made with reference to it, it is i'm.
pOrtant that they should become fully a.
reused upon the subject. The great body
of the people of Mississippi whose rights
are involved, and whose immediate inter.
ests are concerned should not, and we are
convinced will not fail to bestow upon it
calm, impartial and deliberate reflection !;
for if those bonds are to be paid, they must
bear the burthen, the fruit of their labor
must accomplish it, the property which
most Of them have accumulated through
many years of toll and industry, and with
which they have intended to educate their
children and prepare them 10 make useful
citizens in society, must be taxed. Their
property acquired as it has been by the
sweat of their brOws, or by the toll of those
who have beque athed it, may be conside'-
ed then, as a fund for sacred and useful
purposes, and if they misuse it or apply il
to the payment Of debts, without sober re-
Election and without the full conviction Of
their justice, they wrong themselves, their
country, their children. When a question,

But those who,advocate the payment o

Convention of 1882, recognised their sale

Of this, it merely left the question in stattl

we are compelled to look beyond the acts

the Legislature the privilege Of changing the

were adopted, and that but for these the
sale Of the bonds would probably never have
been effected, must be evident to every one.

drawn from the history of the Planters

The population of Mississippi since the
creation of the Planters Banks bond debt

who are now the heaviest taxpayers we're
at the time of its creation citizens Of other
States--have never received any benefit
from the Planters bank, but instead thereof
have "reaped the whirl-wind'' which it has

We believe that large majority of the
people of Mississippi are opposed to the
payment of those bonds--and will so ex.
press themselves when their will is fairly
spoken at the ballot box. Upon the ques.
ton of the Union Bank Bonds they planted
themselves upon the ramparts Of the Con-
sttution and defended their rights in spite
Of every consequence, and now let them
stand upon the same platform in regard to

THE WING & THE FOREIGN NEWS

Our neighbor, in common with the en-
tire wing press land some of the democrat

eign news is Of q "Pacifc character, r.
Having fully examined the tone Of the for
eign journals and candidy expressed our
opinion thereupOn in our last number, we
will not now discuss the question whether
or not they have correctly interpreted their
meaning. Moreover, if those who feared
that the honest and patriotic assertion Of
our rights by the President would immediate
ly bring upon US The wrath of England and
with it her guns and cannons, and have
ever since been afflicted with that nervous
excitement and the horrors which such war.
like demonstrations at times inspire-if
they, in view of the firm and decided tone
Of the British press, in which they assert
the claims ofEngland with renewed spir.
itsof determination, declaring the British
Cabinet is "reSOEUed and prepared" that
(" England cannot sOith honor relinguish
ANY Of her PretentiOns' '-are disposed to be
satisfied and receive it as balm for their
their troubled spirits, we would not attempt
to deny that source of comfort. But the
Wing in the plentitude of his JOY, has &C.
counted for this "pdci6c" demonstration on
the part of British journals, in a manner
which neither their tone nor their words
will admit; for, he says, they consider it

From New.Orlean. and havana:

The Pcayune of May 9th contains a letter from
Havana dated May aoh. which states that no Amer
lean ship can obtain freight at that place owing TO
the late war news from Mexico.
The writer says ,ha, Santa Ana continues cock
fighting as usual, from A. N. TO P. NJ. He ap-
pears TO be quite an inofFensive man. Almonte is
yet here and do not think the rumors you hear
about these two true. They appear to be quiet
and doing nothing.
The Picayune states that the Legislature of Lou.
isiana passed by reclamation an appropriation OF
$500, on the Goth. for The purchase Of sword, to
be- presented to Gen. Taylor in behalf Of The State
as token of The universal admiration with which
the people Of that STATE view his indomtable cour'
age bearing and skill.
