Tar LEGIsLATURE.-We have had but
one mail from Jackson for week past,
and that yesterday morning after our paper
was mostly prepared for the press. No
important measures had received the final
action of the Legislature. The following
is an extract of a letter from one Of our
Representatives, under a recent date:
DEAR SIR: The most important sub
jects which will be acted on this session
are the Briscoe bill; change in the Reeve
nue. law the disposition of the SOC. 900
acres of land the Railroad east; the Mis-
sissiPpi Levee project; the Primary School
system; the State University the district
ing Of the State; the census and appcr-
tionment of Representatives and reduc-
ton of the present rate of taxation.
" These are about all the measures, and
about these there is great variety of opin-
ion, and no one can tell at this period W hat
will be the final action upon any of them.
B. K.''

" In our last, We published a para
graph from the Mssissippian, 1.-THE State pa
per, paper of high standing and much
infuence,) acquiescing in the surrender
of part of Oregon, and speaking of it as
''not worth fighting about.'' The follow
ing paragraph, and others in the last num-
Der of that paper, take different view OF
the matter, Z" intrely Quite:
SIGNS OF THE FDES.--Should Paroles
succeed in overturning the existing 60
vernment of Mexico, he will nave carried
the people with him by panderiug to their
feelings Of hatred and Jealousy of the Uni
ted States. We may then expect WAR
WAR, with Mexico and war with Great
Britain. The signs ofthe tunes favor this
view. Paroles will drive MIR. SuDELL,
with insults from Mexico, and our govern
meni must forthwith chastise the insolence
Of government lnstigated by Great Brit
ain. England will not remain passive,
but will then 90 to war for the valley OF
the Columbia. Let US then stand by the
President in claiming the ,rhOle of Ore
gon or none; AM when we have war with
Mexico and England, let the war be for
the CONTINENT. lHissisSippian.

IMPORTANT FOREIGN NEws.-A passen-
ger on the stage yesterday morning stated
that just before he left Vicksburg, late and
important foreign intelligence was receiv-
ed there
An advance of 1-8 d. in the price of cot

The death of Louis Philippe, King of
the French;
The overthrow of the Peel Ministry in
Great Britain, and the consequent certain

o. The National Intelligencer, the fe-
deral paper at Washington, has been feIici-
tating its friends on what it called peace
full termination of the Oregon controversy.
meaning surrender of the, country north
of the 49th parallel. When Mr.. Calhoun
took this ground lin effect in his recent
speech, that paper announced "with I'll e
utmost confidence" that after such an i'm
portant accession to the body of Legislators
who are nok, at any rate, disposed to incur
the horrors and hazards of war;" the dis
pute would be amicably adjusted. But, say
the editors in their number of the 18th ia
nuary-
"The debate in the House has unsealed
our eyes, and shown US how near we stand
to the edge of precipiCe. We therefore
desire to recall any expression of confidence
which We have heretofore felt ourselves
authorized to use in regard to the peaceful
termination of this Oregon controversy"
In other words, the editors are now
convinced that majority of the Repre-
scntauves of the people will maintain our
little to "the whole of Oregon" In this we
hope and believe they are not mistaken.

WAR-We have a proposition to make,
and would, if it would not be considered
vain in MS, call the attention of Represen-
sentatives in Congress to it. War is at all
times a thing greatly to be depored, and
just now we think, for us OF the South,
much more than usual. We think we have
hit upon good plan-which is this ; In
stead of the two nations going to war about
Oregon, let the rights of it depend upon
the issue of single combat between Mr..
Polk and Prince Alhert-either nation could
easily spare their champion-and the bies-
sings Of peace would fully compensate the
nations for the loss of thousand such.
[Vieks6urg Intethg'r.
Another method of settling it occurs to
us, which, Judging from the late Presiden-
tial election, and other past events, would
be much more likely to meet the sanction
of our people. The editor of the InteIli-
gencer, and that very respectable and in
teligent portion of our felow-citizens, the
whig party, generally, are of the opinion
that Mr.. Henry Clay is " the greatest Tan
now on top of the earth, or under. it either. .
The same resp ectable authority has placed
Mr.. Daniel Webster above men-''the God
like" Now, we take it for granted that
great and god-like men are scarce in Eng
land, or the English would not seriously
think of bullying or fighting us out of our
territory of Oregon. Our proposition is,
then, that these extraordinary specimens
of humanity be transferred to her majesty
of Great Britain, in consideration of a sur
render of her groundess pretensions to
Oregon. Their extravagant political no.
tons, and exclusive and partial schemes
of legislation may suit the British-we be-
| leve they borrowed them thence-bufhave
been over and over again repudiated by
Americans. Mr.. Webster may then re-
ceve an annuity from his admirers equal
to that received by Prince Albert, without
censure and Harry of the West" he
with ssthe eye of Mars" and sthe front OF
Jove himself!' may be Landed to the echo,
and glorifed to his hearts content, by a
people more accustomed to such employ
ment than majority our rough republi-
cans, with no molestatlon from the vulgar
locofocos, save parting blessing in his
own chaste language: go, d. you, where
YOU belong!' To use the words of the In
telligencer--" the blessings of peace would
fully compensate for the loss OF thousand
such"-but not for the loss of one inch Of
Oregon.
If Great Britain should contemptuously
reject this offer, and if Mr.. }. c. Calhoun
still be in favor of g further negotiations, ,
or mastery inactivity" let him be thrown
into the bargain.

o. The southron: quoting a sentence
OF our remarks Oh the Governors message,
pfetends to consider it as in reference to its
notice OF that production, and thereupon
proceeds to diiate, through an exceedingly
silly and senseless paragraph. upon " men
Of talents" gentleman" s.decency,'' &c.
We made no allusion to the Governors
character or talents, or to the wing editors.
but we must say that the paragraph to
which we aEude is strong proof that the
latter is not over-burthened with either
talents or decency. Ourread ers may Judge
for themselves, from the following extract:
:" We have always told our Democratic
friends, whom We could approach in spi-
rlt OF ffankness and respect, that to be a
gentleman and also talented, was locked up
on as reproach in their party, and that at
one time Or another they would be kicked
out of it for their decency."

The BILL TO ABOLISH SECURITY LIABILI-

has been brought before the Legislature at

FREE TRADE VS.. TARIFF.

The wings ms ST upon il that the liberal
tariff policy of Great Britain will and can
have but little, If any effect, on American
agricultural Interests; AID that western
farmers, alter nll, will have 10 depend
cticfly upon home markets for the sale Of
their surplus products. Hence, that il
is the tue policy Of this country to foster
and extend. by high protective duties,
the manufacturing interest, as a means
of. furnishing home demand sufficient
for the consumption Of the AGRICULTURAL
surplus Of the great west. 1t were an
easy matter, we think, TO slow that the
surplus products OF eastern Wiscon
sin alone would more than sIffice 10
supply the annual demand, under any cir
cums.aaces, Of a New England maEufac-
turing population: and that were the pro-
ducers Of the whole Miss SIS ppi valley con.
fined exclusively 10 home markets at leas,
50 per cent. fheir surplus would be left
10 rot on 'hcr hands. But we do not
choose now 10 go mo calculation in re
gard to this mater. The fact that The for
eIgu demand, or the state Of the foreign mar
kei, controls the price Of our staple agri-
cultural products is evidence sufficient OF
the general unsoundness OF the whig
assumptions and assertions on the sub
iec; and as to the effect Of the re-
duction of British corn law duties upon
American agricultural interests, this is be-
ing very satisfactorily developed. We
