further establishment of banking institu.
tons, in the year 1880, the Planters Bank
under deusiye and mistaken notions Of
promoting the public good, was called into
existence. Is i not palpable to every i'm.
partial individual, in view Of these facts.
that its charter was contrary to the con.
stitution.
But those who advocate the payment Of
the Planters Bank Bonds, contend that the
Convention of 1892 recognized their sale.
and thereby rendered them valid. Instead
of this, il merely left the question in statu
quo, and to arrive at the facts Of the case,
we are compelled TO look beyond the acts
of that convention. The result ofthis in.
yesigation we have shown.
But even the provision so often quoted
did recognize (Which we willnot admiD the
sale of the bonds--yet il did not invest in
the legislature the privilege of changing
the original charter. That material chan
ges were adopted, and that but for these
the sale of bonds would probably never
have been effected, must be evident to every
one.
Let it not be said that these deductions,
drawn from the history of the Planters
Bank, are those Of men who seek TO sub.
serve party purposes, for those distinguish.
ed jurists and statesmen, DANIEL WEIR
sTER, ROBERT ]. WALKER, AND HORACE
BtNNEY, have each decided that its charter
was UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
The population of Mississippi since the
creation oS the Planters bank bond debt
has changed entirey--a majority of those
who are now the heaviest taxpayers were
at the time of IFS creation citizens of 9th.
er States have never received any benefit
from the Planters bank, but instead thereof
have " reaped the whr.wind" which il has
sown.
We believe that large majority of tho
people Of Mississippi are opposed to the
payment of those bonds--and will SO ex.
press themselves when their will is fairly
expressed at the ballot box. Upon the Ques-
ton ofthe Union Bank Bonds they planted
themselves upon the ramparts of the Con.
stiiution and defended their rights, in spite
Of every consequence, and now let them
stand upon the same platform in regard 10
the Planters Bank bonds. If they do not,
they but condemn The noble position they
then assumed, in regard to taxation when
UNcoNsTrrUTIoNALLy imposed.

ARBITRATIoN.--In his last letter 10 Mr..
Paekenham (Feb. A., Mr.. Buchanan thus
shows up the atsurdity OF this method Of
settling national disputes.
"Were it possible for the President un.
der any circumstances 10 consent to refer
the matter 10 arbitration, the title, and the
title alone, detached from every other con.
sideration. is the only question which could
be submitted. If not confined to single
point, so strong is the natural disposition
Of arbitrator to please both parties, that
in almost every instance. whether in ma
iional or individual controversies, they
make compromising award. We have
memorable example OF this in our last ar
bilralion with Great Britain. Notwlth
standing that the arbitrator, under the
terms OF the submission, was clearly and
explicitly confined to the decision Of which
was the line Of highlands described in the
treaty of peace of 1888 yet, instead Of
pursuing any range Of highlands whatever,
he advised that the line should run along
he bed of river. and actually divided
the territory in dispute between the par
ties by "the middle Of the deepest chan
mel OF the st. Johns"
