Captain General thus has his carte

sphere OF Spanish power are at bis
mercy. He may with impunity eyince
in his treatment of Them his hatred of
Republics and his devotion to her Ma

of American principles has never oc-

dained. We hope it may be the last.

We take the following from the Col

mise advocate.
REORGANIZATION.
This is subject which is now natu-
rally engaging the most profound soli-
cltude OF every true republican. and
one WhichiS furnishing to the press a
source of general and interesting spec
ulatloh. For our own part, we look
upon the question as one involving the
very existence of the genuine republi-
can cause Of the SOUTH cauSe eanalIv
at war both with the tendencies ofdit-
solution on tie one hand, and ofconSol-
lIatlon on the other, and Zcalonslv re-
CARING the latter aS the most promis-
ing cause of the former result. W.
DC ley e that a crisis has arrived which
appeals, trumpet-tongued to every true
republican whether whig or DEMOCRAT
whose political EIith is based upon tbc
resolutions OF 29S and 80, as cotempo-
raneously constructed by the reSnond-
ing States, and Mr.. MadiSon'S renIv
let all Such--the true Democracy of
the State-or5anise, and as conducive
TO TINS vital policy, we believe for rea-
sons which we will enlarge hereafter,
tlat measures should be promptly ta-
Ken for a full representation in the
convention to be held ut Jackson on the
SIN OF January-thc glorious anniyer-
Slry OF fhe battle of New Orleans. The |
Democracy of Texas, Alabama. Georgia

Fed In accordance with the sacred |
usage TO conSecrate that dav to the |
memory OF Jackson; why should Miss
lSSippI refuse! Her ancient and cher I
lshed faith has been proRned in her
very Sanctuary-on her very atars-at |
her very flre-Side. Her inviolabihty-
nay, her very existence as a State, has
been utterly abne3ated in the most SOL
emn form. To borrow the glowing
imagery Of the late PrentiSS, her star
mas been struck from the NATIONAL FLAG.
leaving the StripeSa fit and fixed en- |;
blem of her degradation. In view of
these things, will the true Democracy
OF the State not rally for the Sth Of
january. Sending dele gates to Balti- +
more is a small business compared with
lfe-With vital existence. This may
)f my not be done when the Conyen-

Wanted, and that alone can save the !
state from the cruel, hypocritical and
destructive sway of Federalism. Wei
