We have used moro than ordinary
diligence this week in trying 10 as.
certain the sentiments Of our County
in regard 10 the exciting questions on
which the people will be shortly
called to act The result Of our en-
quiries is a thorough conviction that
a very large majority of our people
are indignant at the fraud aud usur.
patton Of Congress. and. that they will
heartily favor State Convention to
devise the mode and measures Of re-
dress. The parasites Of power and
expectants Of office may attempt to
frighten them into submission by
prating about the Army and Navy Of

equality will scorn the appeals made

zett says that the public meeting held
in that city, to oppose the Fugitive
Slave law, was one Of the largest

of the place, among them the Wing,

authorizing the Executive TO appoint
one or more Commissioners in every
county, whose duty il shall be to ap>
pear for every person arrested aS a
fugitive under the law, to protect his
rights and aid him in establishing all
facts necessary to procure his dis

SENATOR FooTE.-This protesting
democrat appears to have advanced
wonderfully fast of late in the good
graces of most Of the whig journals
in Tennessee and southern submis.
siOnists every where--whose columns
are filled with, the victories he is
alleged to have achieved over his DEM
Ocratic competitors, in his stumpiug
career over the State Of Mississippi.
Now, this is all CANNON aud evi-
IDENTIFY intended to deceive the people
as to the true state of the popular fee
ling in Mississippi. So far as we can
form an opinion from what we believe
to be the most reliable sources of
information, he is wOrsted--badLy
worsted, in every conflict; and the
anti submission spirit growing strong
er every day. But, touching the vio-
lent and sudden attachment of Tenn.
whig journalists. 1t is to be account
ed for, we presume, principally upon
two grounds, one Of which is furnish.
ed by the Vicksburg Sentinel, as
follows:
We learn that in all his speeches
Foote passes the most fulsome and
sickening eulogies upon the emanci.
pationist, Clay, denominating him the
great statesman and patriot Of the
age. This is the most pathetic part
OF his speeches. EIe also eulogizes
The aboliliOnist, Fillmore, and prays
depOWtly that he may be forgiven for all
he said against him an the cdRUaSS Of
lS4S This is insulting to the people
of the State. Clay has done them
more injury than all the men in Con.
gress put together, and Fillmore, has
been the very head and front Of the
free.soil movements in the State OF
New York since 1893.
And the same print thus furnishes
another:
BEAR IN MIND that when the bill for
the abolition of the slave trade in the
District was before The Senate Gen.
FOOIE VOTED AGAINST striking
out the first section. the most odious
feature OF the bill, whereby every
negro carried into the District for ssle
was declared free. Foote lodged the |
bill itself, but would have voted for it |
had it been necessary for its passage.
And when in addition 10 The above,
il is bOurne in mind that the4natural
tendency Of his course is to weaken
the democratic party. in the South, the
attachment OF southern wings and
is easily accounted for.

AN INCREDIBLE SToRY.-Some of
the Paris journals give the following
extraordinary story:-On Saturday
afternoon, a large crowd assembled
in the Rue de Rivoli, near the Ru del
Echelle, displaying the esliveliest emo>
ton. A child between three and four
years of age, belonging to The porter
of No. 8, Rue de Rivoli, was seen 10
fall from the window in the sixth story
and roll along the roof to the gutter,
on meeting which. a sort Of shock
was given, which threw the child into
the midle of the street. The height
was at least seventy>five feet, and it
was expected that the child would be
dashed to pieces. Bnt it happened
that Versailles diligence was going
at walking pace past the house, and
the child fell on the head Of the driver
and from thence on the back of the
horse, and then on the ground. The
driver, on feeling the shock, pulled up
his horses, and by the time the child
reached the ground the vehicle was
at a stand.still. Incredible though il
may appear, the child was totally un,
injured and got up and walked away.
The shock caused the driver to feel
severe pain in the head,
