this we have the same answer. The PEG

the monarch and the throne. If they did
not they could not exist And ifthey did
no; support il here there could be neces-
slly for this question. 1t is because they
do suPPortiI, that it is dangerous. If
they did mol it would be obsolete. That
IS not the question. Is it right, is it best

should support feature of monarchy
with no trait of repubIicanism? That's
The question. And to tell US that the peo

with them whether they are safer with

YDulce et d~ecoruu1 est pro patFfa 1ors.

In the southwestern part Of Franklin county,
Mississippi, there is a platform or.foor compose
ed Of hewn stone, neatly polst ed, some three
feet under ground. 1t is about one hundred
and eighty feet long and eighty feet wide. II
extends due north and south and its surfdce is
perfectly level. The masonry said to DO equal
if not superior TO any work Of modern times.
The land above it is cultivated, but thirty years
ago ii was covered with oak and pine trees,
measuring from two to three feet Ia diameter.
1t is evidently of very remote antiquity, as
those who reside in the neighborhood had no
knowledge of its existence previous to it's res
cent discovery. Nor is there any tradition a.
mong them from which we may form any idea
of the object Of the work or Of the people who
were its builders. There is also a canal ana
well connected with it, but they have never
been explored. A subtcrranean mansion may
be underneath. Further explorations may
throw some light upon its origin.-AOaisoi@t
