con6ne himself to The practice Of the law.
We nsed moi say that he is we'll known as
OF The FIRST order OF talents as lawyer, and
unusually successful on all sides of all tho

What renders Mr.. Thurman's election
peculiarly desirableEis that his location

to litigation in the land titles of the Virgin.

there has always been much difficulty in

anGi that much legislative action had Ia OBJ
viale difficulties thus arising. Mr.. T. is
better acquainted with sIch controversies
than any otbsr man perhaps before the

preme Judge residing in that district. This
is an important consideration in his favor,
and joined to bis known moderation Of
character, and numerous qualifications en-
titles him TO popular support.
We have said no less in behalf OF our

the Importance of the election. We should
have said much more but for want Of room.

10 The Wing says we have mistak.

which is editorial In that paper. and
which Is Natchez Courier, which ii flesh

weeks, the letters ofthc alphabet have
been freely drawn upon, for signatures
OF its editorials. If friend Hillyer
would print off a dozen or two copies Of
the Courier, with the head Of "Wilkin-

and expense to the proprietors of those
journals, of printing them. The editor

OBITUARY.

Mrs. EMILY MAYES, the subject of
this Notice, departed this life on the 9th Of
October, 1851, aged 40 years.
She was the wife of William T..
Mayes, and the Mother of Seven living
children. 1t may be said Of her that few
women have filled the place of wife or mo-
Their More commendable than did Mrs. NJ,
order, diligence, and n~eatness, characterized
her household. With d heart that beat in
unison with that of her husband, a mothers
love for her children, the kindness of a true
mistress to her servants, love to her neigh
bors, and that hospitality which made a
stranger feel at home. She promoted the
happiness of all. The writer OF this has
known Mrs. Mayes for the last nine or ten
years, but of her, he never heard an nnkind
word, and is of the impression hat she ne.
yer gave offence to any Of her early piety
and the particulars of christian experience
he knows but little, but she was a member
of the Church of Christ, for the last fifteen
years, and by the correctness of her deport.
ment, gave evidence of a christian spirit, .and
preparation for better world. Her life, was
a life ofcalmness, hope, and quiet, her death
one of peace, like the ripping of a summer
wave to the shore, her family and numerous
friends may mourn in hope.--JackSon MIR

Sketches Of Public Men.

The tumult and confusion of the elections
has al last passed, and our excited comuni-
W again settled down in quiet repose, sub
hitting to, if not universally approving of
the choice of the people. That the MAORI
ty shall rule with due respect to the views
and principles of the minority, is one of the
most beautiful features in our system Of gov
eminent. Free, dispassionate discussion and
mutual counsel, unbiased by prejudice and
uninfluenced by early prejudices and opiui-
ons, conceived in ignorance, cannot fail
eventually to bring about that equilibrium
of truth, liberaIiIy and justice, SO conspicu.
ons in the character of our enlightened peo-
Pile.
In political contests, men are actuated by
different motives, leaving aside the two
great parties, wing and democrat.-W We find
each split up and sub-divided by whims and
notions, that carry them almost into ultra.
isms, until the recuperative power of the
great first principles of their faith restores
them to their cardinal position. To politi-
cal aspirants are we indebted for all these
hot.headed bugbears, that distract parties,
and entice them from their sober duty, and
unbiased freedom of thought and action
But, so longas human nature exists, so long
will such a state of things exist, and pro
gress like the whirlwmd and the fire, unit
the still small voice of calmness and consis
tencey Gains and quenches all morbit
excitement.
Although much excitement prevailed a
our late election, yet the result has beer
satisfactory to all. A mere glance a: on
