Tm STATE CoNyEsTloN, --In regard to
the suggestion Of the Mississippisn, that the
State Convention be held on tile 10Th Of
jun, 70 nominate candidates for State I'm.
ces we are perfectly satisfied. The sooner
the candidates take the stump, the better.
" The people should be mnde perfectly fami.
har with the present position Of public al.
fairs, that they may act nndcrslahdingly.
Never was there a campaign, in which a
greater responsibility rested on the people,
and while we wish them discharge their
duty promptly and fcarlessIy. we would
have them do 50 with q perfect knowledge
d the consequences that may follow. an
Lille aa AatcheZ Courier. l5In
The Coulter seems TO claim Il victory, be.
cause we did not return its fire, We distinctly
stated that, after we had reconhoitred, If any
damage had been done US we would return
The Courielis fire but we were unable to dis
cover that we were in the least injured. The
Conrier's only issue with us was, the legality
and manner Of the election of the California
Senators. Upou this issue, Col. JeT Davis and
Mr.. Clay had a hitch in the Senate, and we
believe, they withdrew from the debate, each
stronger in the belief of his own POSITION
There could no practical good result from fun.
Their discussion on this point; and we refer The
Courier to the debates of Congress. 2 The Couf
Ter justified the enactment Of the bill abolish
ing the slave trade in the District Of Columbia
OH the pre- Q lent Of the bill which Congress.
enacted for the Mississippi Territory, We
copied the law of this territory, and clearly
sh ,wed that il differed from the District o.
Columbia bill in this important respect /. the
former referred to the Introduction of slave,
from foreign ports: the latter to slaves from
domestic ports. The Courier made no ac
acknowledgement of this fact and until It pub
FISHES the law, and admits the falsity Of ii
position, there u no need Of further discussion
We respectfully suggest 70 the Courier I,
publish the law Of the Mississippi Territory
and the a~nti-slave trade bill, for the informa
ton Of its readers. The Courier says il doe.
not understand, how il is the Republican car
advocate the organization of Southern Right
associations, and yet be in favor Of the cousti
m.ton. The Courier must lay this complain
At the door of.his Maker we have given ar
gumeptS but we oannot give the brains Il
understand them. aWe os ~ .Nbi
MoRr NutLrIeArIoN.-Ihe following is til,
