THE CONVENTION

We regret to see the question Of calling a
Conyeniin sprung upon the people at the heel
Of a long electioneeriug canvass. II looks a.
if its advocates we're afraid Of The consequences
Of a free and candid discussion, and desire to
carry by stratagom, what they well knew
would fail if submitted to the test Of scrutiny
and public discussion. The people should not
forget that our constitution contains a proyis-
ion for it's own amendment; and that SO expen-
sive a mode Of efFocting alterations as the call
ing Of a convention, is therefore entirely unne-
cessary, The expense Of such a body cannot,
under any possibility, fall under 100000 dol
lars, and then we have no certainty that. in
m%ending one hole, the thinkers may not make
two.
The new Code Of Judge Hutchinson, 0atelv
purchased by the State, at a great expense.
will be rendered obsolete, and 90 into disuse.
az q consequence Of a change in the funda-
mental law and the people will be heavily
taxed, in the shape Of lawyers fees, before
they can get the hang Of the new order Of
things, and understand the resulting modifca-
tions In the laws regulating the rights Of per.
son and property. A Constitution yet in its
teens (8 years old cannot surely be deemed
valetudinous by the most progressive Scion or
Lycurgus; and we should at least discuss its
defects before calling upon the people to vote
for a Convention to make a substitute on the
ground that the present one dixie all human
institutions is not free from real or imaginary
lmperfections. II doubtless has its defects, but
is there any probability the sam , could not be
said, with equal truth, Of any which the re-
formers would be likely to give usq
We trust the good sense Of the people will
reject the doubtful experiment, and save their
hundred thousand dollars for more useful pur-
poses,

DR. WNAUs.-A Wing Of our acquaintance
told us the other day that a Democrat attempted
10 demonstrate with him on the improperly
committed by the Wing party in running
preachers for office, and referred to DR.. Wihans'
candidacy in the 4th district in very reeretful
terms. The Wing replied that the Democratic
party did the same thing, and instanced Ham
NETT, the Matthewses, and others. sOhp
replied the Democrat, tour preachers were
doing no good III the pulpit, and il was a bens-
fit to religion to take them out Of it. DR..
WinanS is an honest, capable and effective
preacher, and you are therefore without ex-
cuse!' Tho Wing lsE musing on the Demo-
Gratis very afectionato regard for the church,
as evihced by his idea Of the true character Of
preachers, and upon bis careIessness in refer
ence to the State, as evineed BY his opinion

ATTEMPT AT nIcTAT1nN.

One Of the most bareFaced attempts at official
dictation, that we have lately noticed, is the
scheme put on foot BY the Ofice-hoIders in and
about Jackson, to influence the Congressional
election in this District. With, this view, they
propose to hold "a mass meeting in Carthage
on the first Of next month, and to exhibit a flag
which they intend TO present to the county
which shall give the largest increased ma
jority' for M'Willie, the federal candidate,
over Gray, the practical democrat, as COM
pared with the election Of 1888! Among the
list Of eight names advertised to perform on
the occasion. we notice the following Office
holders and g6fcs.seskers:
Gov. J. w. Matthews, of Jackson!
Atty Gen. J. D. Freeman, of Jackson!
Auditor G. T. Swan, of Jackson!!!
Col. D. c. Glenn, candidate, Of jackson II!
Col. w. Neville, Of Madison.
Gen. ]. A. Quitman, Is of Natcbez.
Col Jetf. Davis, of Warren.
but the Colonel'S name, we have reason TO
believe, is inserted to attract auditors, as ii
Will be incompatible with the Plan Of his trip,
as related in our presence, to return To Car
image. In compliment to the people Of the
Northern counties. they have included among
the orators the name Of one solitary citizen Of
that region, that Of our friend, the Rev. Gen.
10. Bell, whom the party managers in the late
50 unceremOniously Burked as a
candidate for a small office! This sop to Ger
berus is intended to reconcile the unterrihed
republicans on the banks Of Pearl, the Yocka-
nockany, the l'uscolameta, the sockanatchie,
&C., to this shameful attempt TO dictate 10
them in the selection OF q Representative in
Congress! Had these leaders invited TAYLOR
speakers TO meet them in fair, open and manly
debate, the movement would not be calculated
10 excite animadvcrsion or remark. But tho
the getters.up Of this exhibition may think
themselves very cute, and that the honest yeo.
many Of Alfalfa, Winston, Leake, Neshoba,
and KemPer, are very green, and easily sweryed
from their fixed purpose, the result will show
that the greeanes' is all on their side Of the
house. The people Of those counties are too
to be humbugged BY the 5ickening
and unmeaning cant about { democracy which
certain would be great men have forever on
their lips, whilst aristocralle exclusiveness is
constantly in their hearts. They will spurn
the Pinchbeck, and cast their votes for the
practical and true democrat, whom they know
as their daily associate, friend and nelghbor.
The missionaries from Jackson had therefore
better stay at home, and leave the people of tho
upper counties to the free and uatrammelled
Of their own honest judgment as to
which to choose, Gray or M'Willie. In their
Carthagonian expedition, although delOnde est
is their object, its result will be to in
crease the majority against MtWillie. We
stake our pile that their %Oficious friend
ship will lose their candidate three votes where
will gain him one.

The Mississippian publishes list of Bank
charters passed under the : Wing administers
ton of Gov. Lynch in order to saddle the
responsibility Of their paternity on the Whigs!
Does not the organ know that our Legislature
was largely Democratic,i when those Banks
were incorporated? aud that the Legislature,
and not the Executive, was mainly RESPONSE
Bile for their creation? II is astonishing with
what pertinacity our n~eighbor adheres to its
system Of suppressing the most material part
Of the truth, when a party purpose is to be
snbserved? An inspection Of many, il not
all Of the acts creating The tDeny Banks
specified, and laid at the doors Of the Wings,
BY the M~ississippian, will show that Jno. y.
Irwin u leading DEMOCRACY was then Speaker
Of House, and that the removed McNutt, the
bank-hating Democrat, affixed his signature
to them as President Of the Senate! The Gu
rious IN such matisrs. are referred to the orig

plexion o fthe majorit1o f both branches ofthe

A ssRIous QUEsTToN.-May it not be asked
from the tone of apathy and indifference to the
great Southern question which pervades lead,
ing Wing journals in the South, whether there
is not a party already preparing to sustain Gen,
Taylor, in sanctioning the WiImot Proviso ?
MisasnRpian.
This is a beautiful question to be asked by
a paper which only last pear expressed its pre-.
ference for a Wilmot Provisoist as the Demo.
cratic candidate for the Presidency-which
declared that it did not . eTpect' to see slavery
carried into New Mexico and California
which did not deem it rational to ask "Gee
White pioneers Of neOy acquired territory 20 de-
grade their labor 10 he level Of that Of The sooty
african "--and which denounced as "AelrA-
TORS and FAcTIoNIsTs . all Southern men who
contended for the abstract right to take slaves
into the territories Of the United States. When
did the Mississippian become SO fully Southern

%tiOnists,' in opposing the proviso upon the
ground Of its uncOnsIitutionGity? In a word,
when did it unlearn all its Free Soil opinions
and become sentinel over the Southern patri
otism Of a party which has always been true to
the South, in sunshine and in storm, and which
not hug the 'irreleUant issue to its bosom
when Benton, Houston and Polk set the
example ofsuch unnatural fondness which
has been exhibited since the foundation of
this Government? If the MississipPian will

FOOTPRINTS OF JOHN 4 QUITMAN.

go ~ VI SOAAAN a MI AVA "A Az .
The fag-bearer Of democracy, as he terms
himself has made his speech, and such a speech
and displayed his 'foot-prints,' as he calls
them, and such footprints! His effort was
attentively listened to BY the writer, but in
vain for any thing that scared above the ultra
partizan and ~demagogue. IL fell still-bofn
upon the auditory, who, quite numerous at
first, were so mOUed by its pitiful character,
that their numbers dwindled to but a few!
The contrast between Jefferson Davis's
effort of last Thursday, and ]. A Quitman's
was SO striking, that it could not have escaped
the notice Of any one who heard both speeches.
The former was the eloquence of the man of
strong, fixed political principles, but who
merged the P4rtizan entirely in the character
of the Senator and the representative of the
State and her citizens, irrespective of political
distinction, The latter was the dull, monoto-
nous, prosy effort Of the man Of wavering,
unstable political associations, but who to gain
Office, paraded himself in the livery Of the
most ultra partizanship, and never attempted
to pass beyond its narrow borders, or turn a
to the interests of the State, or the
veal Of M~isSibsipPiuns. The demo-
party was, f%OrsOOth, the god Of his idola-
Try, and with eastern devotion he knelt and
worshipped at its shrine; no doubt, in his ina
seeing the seventh heaven Of guberha-
torial hOnors opening to receive SO pious a
