A Steamboat has just ben built at Pittsburg
Pa, designed exclusively for the Pearl River
trade. We have before US q letter from the
owner Of the boat, MIR. ROBERT HAYS, in which
he says; "You can assure the public that the
CAROLINE will remain in the trade the. whole
season. She will run above Jackson as far as
the water will permit. She only draws l3inch-
es water, and will carry from 500 to 800 bales
Of cotton, and she has power sufficient to run
in the strongest current" aatg
This is an important movement to the mer-
chants and planters in the whole Of the vast
scope Of cOuntry through which the much neg
lected central artery Of the state flows
Thers can be no doubt Of the success Of the
undertaking to navigate the Pearl for from
four to six months Of the yeAr for several hum
bred miles above jackson, PrOUided, the plan
tiers and merchants in the interested district
Of the country will put their shoulders to the
wheel. Here is presented a natural highway
TO market for all the surplus productions, Of
even the poorest planter or farmer. Thousands
Of articles which the railroad conveyance we
now enjoy from Jackson to ~Vicksburg, fails TO
transport to a profitable market, may be carried
on a steamboat to New Orleans, or sold to the
boat during it's regular periodical coming and
going. Proper encouragement to this enter
prise would open a valuable wood market all
along the Pearl, This Item alone, is Of much
Importance to all the land owners in the VII
cinity of this stream; and the fact that the
Pearl is being regularly navigatedb by steamboats,
would bring thousands of acres Of government
land, now unsaleable, into market. Congress
is ready to grant alternate sections and frac-
lions Of sections OF the public lands on the
banks of the Pearl, for its improvement, provi-
ded we can show that the reserved lands would
be enhanced in value to the amount which is
granted away. Now is the time to prove the
fact; an opportunity is Of this time offered TO
10 show that we are not dependent upon any
monopoly for our supplies, or transportation
of our marketable productions.
We trust the merchants of Jackson, and the
planters and merchants IN the whole Pearl river
region of country, will unite in aiding the en-
terprise Of Mr.. Hays.
The lCaroline' was to leave Plttsburg about
the 28th Of October, Under the command of
Cant. Boss; she will be at our landing in the
course Of l0or Is days. Capt Boss begs of
persons convenient to the river, to nave wood
and corded for sale; both above and below

Cnlon may contribute all the divisions and
movements of the democratic party that he
seems to dePlore. And we assert, in all solem-
nifty, that I'VE know no words too strong in
which to express our protest against a policy
thus plainly calculated TO sink and submcrge,
to a great degree; in the coming election, all
the great lines Of political demarCation be-
tween the two parties, and % substitute for
them this single dangerous sectional ground
Of slave extension, under Pretence Of q com-
promise BY the act Of the Federal government,
to countries free from Slavery by their organic
law. VA at.-a .4aasam y8.H8
"The principles, the honor the consciehee,
the justice Of the Democracy OF the north are
involved in the issue thus presented-and they
are less than men,gi If they fail 10 show to the
world Of mankind, that they wash theiE hands
Of the black deed Of making the best portion
Of this continent d slave martin perpetuiy.-
The cause Of liberty and justice, may be be-
trayed and its triumph postponed, but il il not,
therefore, less the duty Of its advocates to use
the faculties that God hasbestowed upon them
to ensure its early success.
"We say to Mr.. Richie, and those who con-
cur with him, go your ways. You were warn
ed in time against the agitations and the dis
tracing issues that your course in relation to
the annexation Of Texas, would produce. You
were implored to take Texas without war; you
chose to take it with war, and if now, at this
day, you expect the Democracy Of the north
to bear the responsibility Of your measures,
they must at least be permitted to protest, that
they have no purpose in common with you, to
extend, by the power Of the federal arm, the
institution Of slavery into territories now free.''

The afternoon passed by-evoning approached
land an hour before the usual time the COM
pany assembled in the dancing room.
Al nine O'Clock precisely young Mangum
entered the ball; a buzz Of admiration followed.
One Of the bellies fortunately attracted his at
t%ention, and he led her to the dance, Ills
every movement was closely observed and
from the ladies such EXPLANATIONS as: "What
Princely manners! Such o magnificent figure!
such graceful dancing! A love Of q foot! 0,
he lisa duck Of dear, charming fellow!' and
other similar expressions, peculiar, | beliewc,
TO the sex.
During the entire evening the fayorite belle
received the most devoted attentions from Mr..
Mangum, Manyof the ladies who thought
they possessed some attractions were greatly
mortified at his marked preference, and Two Or
three Of the gentlemen eyinced the strongest
symptoms Of labor ingunder the influence 81
envy and passion-Your friends, the witty and
graceful Col. , and the accomplished and
handsome Maj, were completely thrown
into the shade, and your humble servant, Rus
tic, was driven from the list Of competitors
The Senator's son was declared victor, and nos
bly, did he bear his honors. The next day Mr..
Mangum was again the reigning lion. He was
fattered, admired and courted by all the la
dies; but the superior tact Of the charming
belle, enabled her to engross the attention Of
the ardent Southerner.
Evening once more advanced, and the com.
pany assembled for the purpose Of dancing.
Mr.. Mangum was again by the side Of the hap
Ply Miss, admiring her appearance and compli-
menting her beauty in the most extravagant
language, when d steamboat captain entered
the room. Looking around him for a moment,
he remarked to the writer "A
sWell, he is cutting it fat,n
"Whow | enquired, -.sas1 lila et.
"My steward," answered the captain, point
ing to the Senator'S son. 1
/ replied that he was mistaken-the indivld

lima. @+5G. Us,+H e s.+ars $ @g. !4s#.
.'Mangum, the dill" said the captain, Sits
Tony WEIGH, my steward, and a very good
steward he u.s." .-gsfaf. sae
The news circuIated--Tony saw the Captain
disappear-the mortified belle took the first
stage, and is now at home deeply regretting
that she had met with and admired the Senator's
son. 9@4 .#aagt #ts2#3

rhe Harmonious pemucracy.

We take the following from the Evening
Post, the leading Democratic press in The city
of New York. The two sections of the De-
mocratiC party in New York, the Old Hunkers
and the Barn-burners, are in deadly feud'-
There are various points on which they are
quarreling, and the bitterness Of feeling has
become SO strong, that all hopes Of settlement
and union between them, appear to be lost
The following will give the views Of the Barn
burners on one Of the points of difference
