THE EXAMINATION AZ THE "FRMFLE
Free ScHoeL-We have not fof some time
passed a few hours more pleasantly tha2 in
witnessing the interesting exercises of this
Institution which came off on Friday last.
There is no moro beautiful or interesting
sight than sixty or seventy girls, ranging
from the modest and retiring misses of IA
just verging into womanhood, TO those
bright little chernbs whose sparkling eyes
sriH occasionally wander to their tiny new
shoes, when decked in their holiday cos
tunes and flushed with the excitement of an
examination; and such was the picture be-
fore us. The classes which we heard ex-
amined showed great profciency-and that
The pupils were thoroughly instructed in
their studies. The compositions of tie
young ladies' were we'll written and listened
to with much interest by the large con
course in attendance. The exercises were
tclosed by singing an appropriate song 10
hon or of the ''Fathers of Yazoo" for their
Free School. The execution of this piece
was admirable, and gave fine effect TO The
noble sentiments of the verse. In this insti-I
tuition every citizen should take a deep IN
terest. Ii is under the charge of Mrs.
Walker Principal; and Miss Kempton a.
sstant. The examination atlested what ev-
cry one in this community has long known
the ability, skill and accomplishments Ofths
teachers. We regret that The crowded
state ofour colusnns forbids a more detailed
notice. sssn M ssss 4s3e.

Masonic CELEBRAT1aN AT BENroN.-
We learn from those who attended. that the
Masonic Fraternity had grand affair, of ii
on the 24th ult. at the time that this display
of everything attractive was going of. we
were listening toithe many strange sounds,
and following out the thousand stranger
tAncies which quinine ever rings in the
ears, and puts into the brain of its victims
We were in consequence deprived of our
share of that sumptuous banquet, and Of the
pie asure of hearing that chaste, appropriate
and eloquent oratio of cur townsman, M.
A. Jenkins, Esq. We hear but one ex-
preston Of opinion, and that is, that the
.speech--the dinner-,hc music, and that

were all as good as they could be.

ceedings of the Democratic States Rights
convention, that our candidates wcle 2omi'

the proceedings of the convention, all was
harmony, This has caused the face Of
submission to turn pale. It's friends can
see the hand upon the wall already writing
its doom. The unanimity with which
the nominations were made is the highest
compliment to the old ofice-hoIders. Il
shews that their services arc appreciated
by the people. 1t she ws how highly they
are appreciated by the party to which they
belong. The party whose voice is the voice
of the people because Of It's overwhelming
majority. Il snews too when such momen-

STATE SECESSION. . o 2

! Tn our nrst page We publish the rcsolu
iiesas passed by the Georgia States Rights
conveiss1ion. They breathe the same spir.

our own convention. The most important
issuo presented is upol; tie right Of S;asse

Important that the doctrine of the right OF
a State peaceably TO secede from the Fede-
raj Union, should be fully Acknowledged
than the present. Establish the contrary
and what is onr situation? The country is
fast verging on 70 that point in our apoliti-
cal history which will give to the non
slave section, not only the control of the
government, but also the power to alter
the constitution. When they do atsemp
this, what is TO be 'dore. The State s
Rights doctrine pres scnts an easy and sure
remedy; the right. of peacenbIe secession.
The only one offered by federalism and
submission is rebellion, revolution and civ
il war, or tame submission. Particularly
important is II, that this right should be
'soac acknowledged. A sovereign State ln,
der the belief that the rights and liberties
Of her citizens require the step is aboutlto
exercise it. If the position of submis-
sionist be correct is is the duty ofihe Fed
eral executive to call out its minions OF
power and put down what they are pleas
ed to term rebellion, and thus we hnd our
selves on the eve of civil war. There
is no hope for the Union if Mr.. Fillmore
shall carry into practise the principles
which are now openly advocated here

THE PUBLIC PRINT1NG.-We concur with the
New York Herald. Congress should organize a
printing bureau, and do their own printing not
only because the printing would be done better
and more expeditiously, but because the public
printing is now used as corruption fund to re-
ward and pension subservient partisan press.
We invoke the attention of Congress to this
subject, and would urge it as one Of tho most
important reformations within the power Of
Congress to make.
