TuE LEGIsL AZURE.

We are indebted TO friend who has Just returned
from ysitto New Orleans aud Mobile for several
numbers Of the Daily Mssissipplan and the Weekly
Missssppian of. the 18Th inst. These bring down
the proceedings Of the Legislature to tle 23ld uit-
Noalt Of general rmp0rtant character had passed
either House. Numerous bills had been introduced
brthc incorporation Of rail road and manufacturing
companies, and among them BIN to incorporate 1
company for the purpose Of buildmga rail road from
Columbus to Yozot City, which on motion Of Mr..
Crusoc romthis county, was referred to tho commit.
tee on internal improvement The Priucipll subjects
ofdobatc N both the Senate and the House Of Repre-
sentayes were the dspo.al O the surplus revenue.
the 100000 acres Of land donated to TIC State, and
the Planters Bank bouds. These subjects gave rise
to long and interesting debates ii both Houses, bot
no definite action wa, had on either of them There
seems to be eeuer,i--alno., unanimous disposition
in he Legislature to pay the Planters Bank bonds
utthe hop OF the 'cb4a, are questions upou which il
seems there is much diversity Of opinion,
A considerable portion Of tho tine Of the Lcgs'p
tare has been devoted to the consideration Of private
bills, petitions, &c
A Joint resolution has been passed, ordering 5o0t
copie. of the late State Slavery Convention to b,
prntcd--a0o0 for the use Of the Senate and 5000 or
the use OF the House. There Is feeling, deep and
webelievc, unanimous, manifested in the Legislature
on this now critical sabject OF slavery which cannot
be mistaken. Come what may, Mississippi viii b,
prepared for any aud every emergency She vii
maintain her rights and stand by her siste States o
the South in support Of The compromises otthe Fede
raj Constitution in all their original force and parity
at every hazard and to the last extremity,
4 We regret that the nos o. the Mississippian witt
which we have been SO kindly favored, came to han,
too late for us to give any thing like synopsis
the legislative proceedings We have had barrel,
( tine to give them hasty glance; bat this suffice
to convince lis that with the exception of the debat
on the surplus revenue aud the Planters bank bonds
they contain little that is interesting. Perhaps il
our next we may have something important from tn
Legislature to lay before our readers, that is 1t W
should be SO fortunate as to gotta mail from Jaokso

nation being by telegraph, but it was no doubt an
able and brilliant effort and will be looked for and
read with great interest by the people Of the South
particularly No man has examined this evoked
question more carefully or more deeply than Gen,
Cass has done-no one has brought to its considera-
ion stronger or clearer head or heart ircer from
prejudice aud sectional feeling, In all his speeches
and letters upon the subject heretofore, he has taken
the right postiona position based upon the compro-
misses oltle Constitutions not the "so.eac3' compro.
misses as the Vermont resolutions sneerng aud IN
sutngly term them, but the actual bona fde, we'll nm.
ders,ood compromises, without which the federal
constitution would never have been adopted.
Gen. Cass will never give his vote for the Wilmot
propso or any kindred measure and should the Leg
islaturc Of Michigan instruct him in positive terms to
give i ba support, he will resga his seat in the SEN
ate, and after the delivery Of this speech with proud
