Bounty Land Claims.

Certain statements are going the rounds lin the journals, which, we are authorized Ito say from an official source, do not correct |ly re present the action of the Pension Office on the bounty land claims under the act of September, 1850. It is true, that the aP- plications, already received exceed one hun dred thousand in number, and eincreasing at the rate of 800 day; but, so far from the claims themselves being permitted to slum- Der, they are subjected from their first re- ception to rapid process of classification and arrangement, which, though to super. fcial observers it may appear tedious and unnecessary, is essential to guard against error and confusion, and actually conduces to dispatch.

Submission Ticket.

The submission convention met at Jackson on Mon
day last and nominated as we learn,
H. S. FOOTE, of Kinds county, for Governor;
j. A. HORN of Lauderdale county, for Sec. of State
D. R. RUSSELL of Carroll county, for Auditor
VIM. CLARK, of Kinds county, for Treasurer
We believe that every on the above ticket was
at the last state election acting with the then democrat
party. They have abandoned party, and swim
sink with the submission cause in Mississippi. 1t
is proper that Senator Fooe head the submission par
ty in this state. He has contributed as much time and
tongue to induce the South to assent to a series of
measures that not only destroys the equilibrium of po-
ltical power between the north and the SOUTH but
absolutely excludes the south from any participation
in the territory acquired partly by the blood of her
and the expenditure other treasure, any in all
this broad handmade him responsible. Senator F. is
Just the man to head such and lead such par
ty-it suits his genius 1t requires man supple and
ready in debate, crafty and INSCRIPTIONS, regular
special pleader. But historically certain that
this campaign will bring out features in his poll
teal career at Washington that is believed be
ceptible of but one explanation.
1t has been suggested that Mr.. Foote would not ac-
cept the nomination for Governor If he should not,
we shall be compelled without satisfactory expana-
tion to believe that small game of brag has been got
ten up by the subs We think however, that the nom
inaton the result of definite understanding. 1t
hardly possible that the submission party would dare
nominate Mr. Foote, without first having obtained his
consent. That party is bound to the principles sub
mission, and it is well known that Mr.. Foote is always
dissatisfied man, unless he can lead-he must control
the whole machinery of the submission party in Mis-
ssspp else he will upon and rip its very vitas
out He is in fact, the only living light that keeps the
Union humbug from explosion. Were it not for his
energy, his interchangeable exerton and continued labor
the spirit of submssioaism would have been broken
and worn OUT the party disbanded and its Office seek
ers travelling on the charity of the times.
Col Clark is the only man beside Mr. Foote on the
ticket with whose political history are personally
acquainted. He is an excellent gentlemen, and we
presume the others unexceptionable and capable

JOHN VAN buren, ON THE UNION,

:" Again, we told that the Union of these
States is IN danger. This information comes to me,
at least exclusively from politicians and merchants
engaged in particular branch of business. With
out intending to say anything in the least disre-
spectfu of either of these highly respectable elias
ses OF traders, cannot overlook the fact that thew
are both seeking Southern support Their inter.
ests, therefore, may mislead their judgments, and
certainly their anxiety may magnify, if not make
the danger. So far as l know the feeling of the
North, there is a universal devotion to the Union
and general willingness to secure to the slave.

devotion to the Union is almost equally universal
