Il the papers, in Mississippi are not os large as
some Of those pr nted North, neither are they

trash, police reports, &c, which in no way con-
Germ our citizens. The smallest paper printed
in the State will necessarily contain ten times
as much conserving our home affairs as the
largest out Of it. Every citizen should there
fore lay it down as an invarible maxim, to pat

The ABoLITIoNIsTs ON GEN. TAYLoK.-The
Boston Republican, the organ Of the Abolition

SUPPOSE A CASE.

Suppose that at the stOrming Of Monterey
al Churubusco-or at any other battle which
was glorlously won by our troops in Mexico
a General who had been appointed to command
our volunteers, had been seen in the height Of
the conflict, charging upon our forces, preceded
by our flag, but followed by a horde of Next
Cans-what would have been the feelings Of
our soldiers towards such an officer? Would
not every rife have been levclled at him, and
would not a universal shout Of exultatlon have
gone up to the very heavens, when he fell
pierced by hundreds Of balls?
Suppose that when our forces had been
drawn out in battle array, with the enemy
before them, an officer, high in rank, whose
courage, patriotism, and superior military tai
ents, had secured him that high and confden-
tial station, had thus addressed those who
believed inbis courage, patriotism and military
talents: "FelIOw-soldier - Believing in the
Justice Of our cause, believing that this war
has been brought on by Mexico, and that duty.
patriotism, end every virtue that should inspire
The courage Of a true man require us TO shew
that we are worthy sons Of those sires who
sacrificed property, as well as blood, to obtain
for us our liberty and independence, show
yourselves worthy. But, as the Mexicans have
offered me higher rank and higher pay than
now receive, consider it my duty to go over
to them and assist them in this battle.n How
would such a speech have been received?
Would he ever have escaped with his life?
Never! Then read the letter from Gen. Quit

county, and the article from the Mississippian
which follows it, on our first page, also the
article from the YazoO Democrat, headed 'Re-

LETTRES DE CACHE

Some of the Democra papers in this State
are publishing with great gusto a paragraph
from the Washington Union stating that the
heads Of Departments had recently procured 4
large number Of printed blanks to be used
for notes to persons in office whom they design
to remove. Whereupon the Union indignant
ly remarks
We understand that this is the first time in
the history OF our Government, when printed
notices have been required by the urgency of
prescription and the number Of victims destin.
ed for b%utchery. il shows that the s,stem Of
prescription is premeditated and will be sween-
ing. lfany Of our friends will furnish us with n
specimen Of these modern s lettres de cachet,
so common during the reign of the Bastil IN
France we will give 1t TO our readers. When
such preparations are made for wide and
sweeping butchery, how can the mendacions
mlnlons OF this corrupt administration have
the haldlhood to assert that removals are made
for causes other than political? How much
more manly and honorable it would be. if thew
would come out and frankly admit that thew
want the offices, and therefore thew remove

NoTUE TO CANDIDATEs.-We have been asked
whether or not there are some persons in our
parish running for public Offices who have not
publicly announced themselves. That we
might answer this question, it became neccs-
sary for us to make enquiry. Our information
answers the question affirmatiyely. These
gentlemen surely cannot expect to be elected
under any circumstances. THe people, " not
vote for any candidate for public statiNf who
does not declare his position in the most pub
lie manner and submit his character ana quail
fcatiOns to the same scrutiny and opinion that
are invited by competitors who announce Them
selves. Concordia has never been known to
elect-neuer will elect, a sleepy candidate.
The above we find in the Concordia Intelli-
gencer. RehaPs it may hit somebody in these
diggins. We DON'T care whom, nor how hard
ii hits them.

Il Is unnecessary for us 20 say that all the
candidates are Taylor Wings and If any one
who calls himself a Taylor Wing don't like it,
he can make a ticket to suit himself, or vote

scented to The people for their sufrages, and in
either case be will MT get as good q one as is

~ Our Democratic friends have assumed a
very self-satis6ed and complacent countenance,
aid when we enquire what it is all about, the
first thing we hear is something about the
State election. They seem 10 feel exceedingly
jolly over the way they have fixed matters for
the coming canvass, and think they can sleep
half the time and then beat the Wings any
distance at all in the race. All this may be
very true, but we should like to know how
they can have the conscience to smile over it
when they know that to secure such a state Of
things they have made q rather wholesale steal
age Of our material. Do they not know that
the Wings expected them to stick to their
principles and nominate a consistent repudia-
ting ticket, and that w intended to produce a
number ofoxcellent ~anti-repudiating nominees
with Gen. Quitman, the great bond.payer, at
their head? That was the policy, although we
may be hauled up before the witenagemote
for revealing it. Buthow can we refrain from
indignant comment upon such an ungenerous
appropriation of our thunder They have
seduced away our bohd-payer who was lately
wont to cheer us by declaring that 'no uupre-
JUDGED man can doubt the rational and moral
obligation Of the people Of this State to pay the
(Union) bonds,' and that the repud alton Of
them, if persisted in, would bring everlasting
disgrace and ruin upon our beloved State.'
They rave charmed from US one who used to
tell our daddies to vote for that most unlimited
old Wing, John Quincy Adams, and who, at
the same time, warned the people against sup
porting the reputed father Of modern Democra-
cy, Gen. Andrew jackson. They have driven
from our ranks the man who used to be de-
lighted to see his name on Wing tickets, and
who felt it a peculiar privilege to be permitted
to abuse Mississippi Democracy at Wing clubs.
And after all this shameless larceny, they have
the unblushing effrontery to look pleased at
their smaFtness, and taunt us with the great
gain they expect to get from such disroputable
proceedings! In the lame Of all that is decent
and honorable we ask how the authors of such
transactions can expect to escape a prosecution
in the court Of public opinion, and an immure-
ment in the penitentiOry Of public indignation!

GEORGIA MANUFACTURES AND RAIL
ROADS. L.--

Within a few years past, says the Savannah
Republican, the State OF Georgia has at one
bound placed herself indisputably in advance
Of any other Southern State in Manufacturing
enterprise and internal Improvements. We
have between forty and fifty manufactures
with from 100 to 5000 s~pindles in each, in OPP
Grafton in this State. Our mines have been
partially explored, and we are producing SUI
perior railroad iron, casting, marble, lime, at
a price so low that it is used in considerable
q%antities to revive the worn out lands of the
State.
The eternal fields of cotton, and nothing
but cotton, no longer appear in the up country,
except to a limited extent. The cultivation
of that staple in the Northern counties will
comparatively cease in a few years and be
transferred more and more TO the fertile bot
toms Of Southwestern Georgia. The hill
sides in the Cherokee region and middle Geor-
gia are now smiling with green crops of wheel
and other small grains. There are aourishing
mills, as the Etowah, Lebanon, Columbus,
those in Clarke, and elsewhere, where the
wheat is purchased at a liberal price and con-
verted into -four, which has some time since
found its way to the Atlantic markets, while
some has been exported from this port TO Bra
I'll and other countries. The article of North
ern flour is now almost banished from this mar
ket. One year the Central Railroad convey
ed into the interior 6,OO0 bbls. Of Northern
-four; the year following it brought down 5000
bbls. Georgia -four, the upward current being
completely turned.
The manufactures and railroads have ere.
ated home markets. They give employment
to the farmer, carpenter, the mason, the tan
ner, the miner, and in short to almost all who
follow the various and devious ways of human
industry. The moral and physical influence
Of our railroads in bringing about this new or
der OF things is not sufficiently appreciated
The up-country is now no longer a sealed
book. The travel on the State Road has pro-
badly quadrupled since it was opened to Dalton.
i will increase vastly more when it is compile
ed TO the Tennessee river.
It has been estimated that when the Nash
vile and Chattanooga railroad is completed,
the Georgia railroad will requir four times
its present locomotive power, Our great work
has already paid back to the Safe the cost of
its construction in the shape of a multitude Of
benefits, beyond the power of calculation, and
it is not a daring prOphesy to make, that in
less than % years it will pay all the debt of
the State-Principal and interest and relieve
her citizens from all taxation.

PRESCRIPTION.

The Democratic papers continue 10 or,
shame! shane4 at the alleged proscriptive spi,
rt of the Wing administration. When Jack
son, Van Buren,, Tyler and Polk, practised pro.
scriPtion against the Wings, the same papers
defended the practice.
All! but say these paragons Of consistency
the Hhig party was pledged against the doc.
trine of prescription, but ours was not, Ave,
truly. Very satisfactory logic, indeed. Thew
would have the Wings prescribe a practice
they themselves established. Well, We pran,
that is right. The Wings should prescribe
prescriptions But how? That is the ouos-
tion. Ought they to leave all those in office
who got in by the proscriptive process, and
appoint none to Office but those who, if thew
had the power, would prescribe Wings? Their
idea seems to be that Democratic administra.
tons should put out all Wings in Office and
never put one in; and that Wing adminislra.
tons should never put out a Democrat nor mt
in a Wing. This seems to be their practical
idea of prescribing prescriptions But we
think it is neither just nor wise. We loatbe
prescription for opinions sake, Jus, as mncb
now as in the days Of Democratic intolerance
but We do not think il the true way to but
down the practice, to give a premium TO those
who have already fattened by the practices.
