There w.,s clergyman who oftenten be-

''No, ma, I'm sare | don't"

The use Of epithess rarely do other than
irritate and draw more closely party lines
for which reason we generally deptecate
their use. The term submlssionist howeve. |
seemed so expressive and appropriate, that
we have heretofore Hlads free use Of it, but
the meeting which took place in Yazoo
City on the 4th inst, has satisfied us that
there is scarcely corporals guard in Yazoo
County to whom the term, as generally
understood, Is applicable. 1t was intended
to apply to the 'best we can get'men. Those
who saw and acknowledged the wrong in.
flIcted upon the South, aud the danger in
prospect, but were unwilling to assert our
rights. preferring submission to grevous
and acknowledged wrong to a>manIy de-
fence of our rights.
The usual favor with which the speech
of Col. Davis met in the county, is proof
positive that the people spurn the very
thought Of submission, and that the contest
in Yazoo is no longer between submission
and resistance. The manner and extent
of resistance is the only question. 1t is
grave and important Que, the discussion Of
which, is pleasant aud will be free from ac-
rimoay, because we can respect cur oppo-
nent Tia. men should differ in judgment
is to be expected, and we can esteem
a man who thus differs with US where he
can give good reason for the faith that is
in him, as highly as one who agrees with
US. But he whose decision of character is
so imperfect, that his actions wait upon
the decision of his ba~cF passions, places
himself beyond the pale of ordinary argu.
mentation, and must Tot be surprised or
offended if more scathing course Of policy
should be adopted toward him. There is
something SO contempt ible in the charac-
ter Of the man, who feels that he has been
wronged and insulted and yet, like the
mean spaniel, will basely ia wn upon the
wrongdoer and submit o still greater indie
mites, that we may, in applying the Lash
have somewhat lost our temper. And we
are truly glad to know that the contest
now promises to assume more elevated
cast and the name, submissionist dying with
the class ,i.at gave rise to it, is likely TO be
be stricken from; the Catalogue of part J
names. We hail tie returning sense o
right which the recent movements IN thi:
county indicate. as amost ausp. cious omen
It encourages US to hope, that we hay al
yet be able to unite in common effort, ~

When twilight fingers in the west,
Where sinks the weary sun to rest,
When weeping DER each leaf and flower
The dew falls gently on each bower
] love TO seek some spot alone,
Where | can hear the winds low moan,
Then sit beneath the silent sky,
And watch the stars come out on high.
And as they steal out one by one,
As slowly sinks the setting sun,
With timid ray Of trembling light,
Prepared as lamps to gid the night;
And from the blue-arched heaven above,
Look down with tender eyes of love,
Till fixed in deeper tint of blue,
They glitter with agem-like hue.
First; blending with the sunset sky,
A brilliant lustre meets the eye,
As soft and spirit-like AfAr,
CLOVIS the sweet light Of ewes bright star
Then ast the winds pass softly by,
And murmur with gentle sigh
Some spirit from its radiant sphere,
Seems sweetly watching DER me here.
Tell me Eye burning orbs Of night"
On which gaze with TOPt delight,
That seem to look with plying eyes,
From your far home hey nd the skies!
May not some gentle spirit dwell,
To guard US with its holy spell,
Within each sphere now glowing bright?
Or are ye only worlds of light!
know that when look above,
My heart seems gently fill'd with love,
And oft the pure, and melting thought,
With some sweet mem'ry then is fraught;
That though cur eyes behold them not,
Sweet spirits hover round each spot
And then as mem'ry wakes each tone,
feel | am not all alone. L,

TCLEGRAPHIC lsTELLlGENCE.


The Progress OF Affairs at Washlngt0ns
The debates, both In the Senate and In the
House Of Representatives. lose nothing Of their
interest, Notwithstanding the frequent dscufslve
and difiuse speeches which are made. Occasio: :
ally brilliant and eloquent appeal is made to the
patriotism and judgment Of our legislators, that
inspires hopes Tor the adjustment Of the great sn
ect at issue The thirtJ first State Il the Unlon,
in the thirty first Congress, brings great culmln'-
ting point in the history of the confederacy, before
the startled eyes of the natien. Men gaze al the
phenomenon with surprise, and even alarm; but
the forces exist If not disturbed by folly and pre-
sumption, to carry the country through the danger.
Judgment and reflection will yet, it is hoped, so
far predomnate over vanity aud indlscretIon
as to secure to the people irmer and stronger
bond Of union than we have possessed. Ihis
is the prayer Of every one who glories In the
American name. Sul, apprehensions OF danger
are natural, and, indeed forced upon us by the
character of the elements at war with each other.
There is rashness IN crying "peace, peace, when
there Is no peace"
In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. Miller spoke upon
the California message. His exordlum was nap
PLY phrased, and his tone concliaory, though the
telegraphic despatch furnishes li,te OF his argc-
ment, which will be continued next week
In the House there was much animation Mr.
Bisse, OF Illinois, was exceedingly warm, and his
language powerfully patriotic, il we read his words
rightly but it is to be doubted whether or not
such speeches are not rather calculated to infiame
than to counsel True, they are but words IN their
narrowest sense-but then words are often ofien-
slve and dangerous in their tendencies.
Mr.. Winthrop's speech was the great effort OF
the day. He gave the free soil party generally,
and the Massachusetts Office seekers OF that fac
tcn, particularly, as downright fagellatlon as
they have ever had. No man knows them better,
or the materials which constitute them and their
plans-smooth Mr.. Amasa Walker, and disappolnt-
I'd Mr.. Park, with their confederates His castiga-
lions did not end with these gentlemen OF one idea.
Giddngs and Root were stripped and lashed to their
hearts content The whole strain of his invective
against these miserable political quacks, who
would feed their vanity at any and every body's
expense, was such as will place the public much in
debt to Mr.. Winthrop. There are not two men In
the country whose vanity and presumption have
been more mischevous in their results, and 1t is
quite time that their shallow pretens,ons as legisa-
tors should be exposed and rebuked.
