PRosELYTINd.--T following statement is
made by the present Roman Catholic Vicar
Apostolic of Western Tong King, Cochin China:
"During the past year, have endeayored in
special manner to excite the zeal of our priests
Of our catechisers, of our nuns, and of our
Christians, to baptize all pagan children in dan
ger of death. l have written seyera pastorals
on the subject; have translated and published
all the indulgences granted to. those who Gu
deavor to convert the heretics or baptize their
sick infants. | offered recompenses in the shape
of holy books, images, crosses, beads, medals
&c., to those who either baptize or purchase to
rear up any OF those poor creatures; and fur
ther offered to reimburse any expense attendant
thereon. in several parishes we have estab-
lished societies of male and female baptizers,
where they collect fund by degrees, with which
they either trade or purchase ground, and with
the proceeds they purchase timber suited to
making collins or religious emblems, and funeral
requisites, so that whenever the children of pa
gans die, the society provides them solemn
funeral with music, which is followed by the
children of both sexes The infdels are so de-
lighted with the funeral pomp Of their children,
that whenever any of them are taken ill, they
entreat the Christians to come and baptize them.
There is great zeal manifested by the entire
mission for this good work but to stimulate
them, am obliged to distribute great number
Of books, images, and beads. Every thing of
this description that you send me is thus en-
ployed; still it is not enough: | cause many
beads to be made here for the same purpose
Still we shall never baptize such numbers as in
China, because the Annamites, even infidels
love their children so much: the more they
have, the more pleased and proud Of them they
are. They never complain Of being oyerbur-
dened with their numbers; and tits only during
famine, when they cannot feed them, that
they consent to sell them rather than see them
die of hunger! On this head the Annamte
people are superior to the Chinese" g.a

"The convention Of Mississippi included
among its members. as much of talent, po-
Itical knowledge and patriotism, as has ever
marked a similar number of representatives,

to give them tree expression, as representa-
tlVes OF the sovereignty of the State, that
none need mistake, il. future, the political
position Of Mississippi. The range of dis
c%ussion before the people, has been so am
pie, and the field so ably occupied by The
advocates of each party, that we cannot
suppose the least opposition can justly be
brought to bear upon the acts of the con
vention, as a just exposition of the decisions
of the State. Tie position Of the State

A Good Idea.

The New York Herald recommends, in
case the free States refuse to repeal their
laws denying the use of the State Jails to
the General Government, that Congress
make an appropriation to buy lots and
build United States jails in every State so

ted States officers would soon have a secure
place to conine fugitive slaves after they
