y
! The Legislature of the State Of Missis
slppi assembled in Jackson on yesterday
! The democratic majority is so large that
J upon all political questions the wings will
be poweress, and we need not therefore
expect any severe political contests during
the session, unless the members Of the
dominent party should become embrttered
against each other in consequence of the
division o. the spoils. There will be
some important subjects presented for the
action of the Legislature, and we hope
that party spirit may for time yield TO
the interests of the State. The Leyee-
the continuance OF the Rail Road-the
navigation Of the lnter or rivers-theI
Icause of EducatiOn--the Agricultural in
terests Of tho State-the establishment
OF LunatIc Asylum, and other important
interests have been neglected during for
mer sessions, and now as political topics
can be disposed Of so readily, we hope
that Wings and Democrats may unite and
agree upon these necessary measures. |
We will not at this time enter upon the |
consideration Of the measures mentioned, |
but will hereafter render such aid as may
be in our power TO advance them After
the organization has been completed, we
imagine the attention of the Legislature
Will be very early directed TO the election
Of an United States Senator TO fill the va
eancy occasioned by The resignation off
Robert J. Walker, and with due defer h
9nce TO the Wing members we would ask IA
who will the Wing members vote for? c
We do not suppose they can vote for o
