The Mississippi Creole. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1841-1851, 1850-11-16

Or The Legislature assemblies on Monday
next, in obedience to tha call Of the Governor,
What that angus. body may do when it comes
together, is yet matter of conjecture, All thai
Governor has made with the General Govern
ment as to the laie acts Of Congress, will be to
call Convention of the people, which is to
determine whether Mississippi will secede
from the Union, or what other measures Of re-
dress shall be resorted 10 in the crisis now upon
us. OF the decision of this Convention, we
have no fears. We think we know what ground
it will take-it can assume no other safe posi-
ton than that already taken by Mississippi in
her October Convention Of last year, 10 which
there was no objection frOmany qusrter-whigs
aud de E Ocrats standing together upon the con-
stitutional platform there laid down, and being
ready to defend it TO the last extremity. But a
portion Of those who participated in the DELHI
%eraiions Of the October Convention, have re.
pudiated its action, and brought new issues
before the people. Bent upon agitation, and
determined to be satisfied with no settlement
OF the slavery question, as long as they can
find any pretext, however shallow, for their
dlsnfection, they are now crying Justify for the
very principles which the October Convention
refused 10 entertain, and seem to be resolved
TO lule or ruin" our glorious Commonwealth.
But the voice of the People, when il shall be
head through the ballot-box, will refuse TO
sustain them in their mad doctrine Of "rests.
tame" TO laws passed under the plain letter OF
the constitution.
But 1t is said, that there are other and ulte.
rlor purposes on the part OF the Governor in
converting tho Legislature, and that among its
first acts will BIO the passage Of a resolution in
s%;ructing Senator Foote to resign his seat in
the Senate Of the United States. Without in
at the present time to discuss the doe
lTIne OF instruction, we give it as our individu.
al opinion, that Senator Foote is not morally
legally bound to obey any request Of that
nature, emanating from the called session Of
The Legislature. He was elected before the
issues nav presented were made, and the Lee
meets before those issues have been
to the people. We believe that
the voice of Mississippi shall be heard
the balIOt-box, it will sustain our SEN
tor triumPhuntly. We hope, therefore, that
FOote will pay no heed to any request
made upon him to resign, but that he will 90

WHAT FoRY-We understand thal
the Disuuionists have sent TO the Arte-
sian Springs, 90 miles, for a cannon, 10
be used on the occasion Of their Barbe-
cue here to-day. Cool and rejecting
mon naturally ask-what for The
firing Of cannon is generally resOrted
to, to celebrate some great achievement
either in peace or war, What brilliant
event do the Disunionists propose TO
celebrate by the burning Of saltPetre to-
day? 1t cannot be TO rejoice in the
victories Just achieved by the Demo-
Gratis in the New York and New Jersey
elections-that would be a direct insult
TO the Disunionists Of the Wing party.
1t cannot be to rejoice in The demonstra-
tons which are being made by the abo'
l~itionists, fr~ee.soilers and free negroes
Of the North, against the fugitive slave
bill-that would be an insult to all par
ties in the South. 1t cannot be to herald
10 the "hiIls AMI vallies" the assembling
ofthe Legislature on Monday, under the
auspices Of Gen'l Q1itmon;-if SO, they
have sent for the wrong gun those brass
pieces posted in front Of the Capitol at
Jackson, would be more appropriate TO
fire on such an occasion. The capturing
Of those cannon at Alvarado by Lieut..
Hun--we beg pardon-by Gen. Quit
man. and the converting Of the Legisla-
ture at this time, are about equally wor-
thy Of applause. lfthe firing %Ofcannon,
today, is for none of these purposes, we
shall be totally at loss to know, when
thunders Of artillery are booming
our ears and reverberating fab away
10 the distance, the purport Of those mar
tial sounds. If the object is indefinite
and empty, as We suspect it is, we would,
al the risk of being considered impertin-
ent, respectfully ~suggest:thRt one salute

Of Freedom in our Westurn Hcm.

honor OF the old thirteen " States that

US flag Of freedom, that floats proudly
n every breeze, Fonored and respected
y every land. Should the cannon be
sed for this purpose, its belching, Of
lunder will be music to the lovers of the
Inion and Of constitutional Iiberty-if
any design contra to these, its sounds

VI W. see hat a correspondent Of
the WoodviEle Republican reiterates the
miserable SANDER put oaoat by the Mis-
sissippian, that Gen, Footc was hung in
at this place by the people," If
the Republicans correspondent takes
the papers," he must have known that
this was mt the truth /; il he does not
take the papers, he should not presume
to write Tor them, We shall expect the
editor of the Republican to put this mat
ter right when he returns to his duties;
or we shall suspect there is a disposition
that quarter not only to do Gen. Foote
great injustice, but also to SANDER the

MEMORIES OF THE PAST. Poems. BY M. T.
CARPENTER"
We have received from the author,
through Messrs. Priestley g. Mosby, a
volume Of Poems, with the above title.
The work is gotten up in a very neat
and handsome style, being printed with
new and plain type, and beautifully
bound and embossed. We have only
had time 10 glance rapidly through it,
but the few poems we have read have
impressed US decidedly in favor Of the
merits of the work. We are no con
nolseur in poetry, but we know when
we are pleased with what we read. and
there is a smoothness and q simplicity
in Mr., Carpenters style, that p~ieases
the fancy, while there is a vein Of
melancholy running through them that
touches the finer feelings-and the noe.
: try that goes at once to the heart. is The
true poetry Of nature. His "Marv
Cray" "The Mystic Side," "Lines 10
> Leila" and several other Of the shorter
: pieces we have read, are all beautiful,
while the lines On the Death Of Cal.
houn is BY far the best poem that we
have seen on that subject. Everv l,vor

Poems for his library. 1t can be OBJ.

TIME UNDERSIGNED proposes 70 publish a
IL political Weekly paper in the German LAM
guage in the City Of Washington, in support Of the
principles by which the Administration Of Gene
raj Taylor came into power, and being DESTROYS TO
obtain the aid and cooperation Of the Wing party,
he would respectfully state the reasons which, in
his estimation, make II desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the seat
1. The number of those who use the German lam
guagc their medium of intercourse is upwards OF
Three Millions, and this number Is constantly in
creasing by immigration
z The name of Democrats being the appellation
of the liberal or popular party of Germany, 10
which all the immigrants before their emigration
belonged, they do, course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appellation in tins country,
as soon as they arc able TO exercise the elective
franchise; and the more so, the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety il is TO this
Interpretation TO the best advantages.
g. Although there are few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character,
and relying for their support more local patron
age than on their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand or fall with the defeat of the
Wing party in their particular section.
A. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, are accessible TO sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
TO overcome preudices, correct errors and nnsaI-
prehensions, and by its own direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pcrs, now in existence, will, it is hoped, produce
the desired effect, and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that is the influential, portion Of the German
citizens, over to the Wing ranks
D. The undersigned is well aware that he has
many and serious obstacles TO overcome, but rely
ing upon the power of truth and the cooperation
of the Wing party, on account Of the intrinsic
merits Of his enterprise does not fear TO be charged
with entertaining too sanguinc hopes, If he antici
pates satisfactory result.
