The EMIGRATING SPIRIT OF AMERI-
cANs.-The Hon. John Wentworth, of III.
himself an emigrant TO that state from
New Hampshire, in late speech thus
happily HIS off the emigrating spirit of
Americans:
He had friend IN Ohio, as long ago
as it was on the frontier. He had been
moving and moving away from the inroads
of society, until he had reached The banks
OF the Mississippi, and was about to move
again. He asked him his reason. He
said it was the dying advice of his father,
"to keep twenty miles beyond IdD and
cGtOmei, and doctor and lawyer were
within fifteen miles, and he thought it time
to CO."

01r We find the following in late num-
Der of the Mississippian. The last para
graph is particularly significant -
PLANTERS BANK BoNDs.-It is likely that
a bill will pass to paw the funds in the trea-
sury collected on account of the sinking
fund, to the holders of the bonds and cou-
pons issued for the Planters Bank. The
sum is in gross about S85 900. The DILL
provides for payment pro rGtG--that IS to
say, each holder will get few cents IN the
| dollar.
On Saturday last 1.-THE bill having alrea-
dy passed the Senate, motion was made
| in the House to reject the bill. When the
name of Mr.. Campbell, of Desoto, was
called, he asked permission to explain the
reasons which would impel him to vote for
rejection.
He said, that if those who were clamo-
rous for the payment of the debt, would
bring forward feasible plan to do so, he
stood prepared to go for it; but he was un-
willing to take a step which was calcula-
ted further to commit the people of the
State as bound for debt which they might
never pay-he believed that if the bill pass.
ed. it would be the last effort of the legis
! lalure to pay those bonds. So viewing
the subject, he could not support the bill.
We thought there was forecast worth.
of notice in the views of Mr.. Campbell
and have therefore reported (imperfectly,
: tho substance of his remarks.
