DOdging the Question.

The Wing says: "The Republican puts it
to us, categorically, whether or not, if we were
District Attorney, we would do so and So
that is to say, prosecute, in our official capa-
city, southemers who publish through the
country abolition inceudiary documents, calcu-
lated to excite disaffection among the ~slaves?"
We did not ask the Wing any such question
for we presume there is no citizen in the
country, who would not deem it his impera-
tive duty to turn over to the authorities, with
out delay, any man who would be guilty of
perpetrating such a heincus offence against
the peace and good of the public. No man
whether an officer or not-could be justified
in hesitating about informing upon such a dan
gerous incendiary. We asked the Whtg, in
all due respect to tell us, without equivoea-
ton, whether or moi, if it had been elected
District Attorney, il would have felt itself
bound by its official oath to enter prosecutions

We understand that Mr.. Cralle has CON

that the first volume will comprise Mr. Ca.

and Government of the United States, in
which are displayed, in a systematic man.

subject of the philosophy Of governments
These treatises, it is understood, were begun
many years ago, and though they had not
received the ultimate revision which was
intended, they are very complete, and b
the careful and judicious editing Of Nh
CraIle, his intimate friend and confdenta
secretary, will perhaps appear as perfect in
all their parts as if rewritten by MIR, Ca.

of this great man, together with his biogra

be embraced in six volumes.

Meeting at Fort adams.

We had no, tho pleasure Of attending the
meeting at For, Adams on Saturday last but
we learn there were a goodly number Of our
citizens Of that end Of the county collected,
aud an excellent barbecue served up, Col
r.. Jones Stewart and the Rev. Col II. Al. Stew
art were there. They spoke to the people
The Rev. Col. S. had been ielegraphed BY
John w, Buruss, Esq, to hasten there The
electricity reached his heart, and by the ma
gic powers Of steam, he quickly gbded over

the proper time, the officers Of the Southern

H. J.. opened, and we are informed, presented,
in a strong and clear light, the grievous wrongs
the North have forced, and are now endea-
vorl.g to force, against MS and our rights and
property. His argument, in vndication Of the
violated Constitution Of our country, we arc
told, was able and convincing. After Col. I.
], had concluded, the Rev. Col. r. A. took the
stand, and we are told, that, as at Mt. Pleasant,
he did moi attempt to answer the facts and ar.
guments presented by his opponent, bu; flew

New THREE CENT Com. The PhiIa

delphia Ledger says: q
The die for the three cent piece, ordered
to be coined by the last Congress, has been
finished, and the coinage would be proceed
ed with at once at our mint, but for a defec
in the law, which makes no provision for
procuring the silver and copper to CON.
mence with. In consequence, the coinage
will be delayed until the proper steps are
taken by the authorities at Washington
remedy the deficiency. The new coin is
decidedly neat and tasty, and will be in
convenient substitute for coppers. 1t is
one-:ourth copper and three fourths silver,
so that the baser metal affects the color but
slightly. In size it is between the gold dol.
lar and the five cent piece, but it is SO much
thinner than either that a blind man can
easily distinguish them apart by the touch.

NATcHEz COURIER The Natchez Con-
rier has been ransackiHg its old files and has
ascertained that the grounds now occupied
By the Mississippian, Republican, etc, are
the same assumed by Duff Green in his pa
per, the Weekly Telegraph, in 1882. The
Courier says In ruth, the resistance
party of 1851 is but the revival Of the "nul-
LITIGATION" party Of 1882" We hope, since
our contemporary has made this important
discovery, Its slumbers will be more quiet
and composed. Heretofore, its charge
against the Southern State Rights men has
been, that they were disunionists, and a
week or two since it declared that the is
sue between the two great political parties
was union or disunion. 1t complimented
itself upon the industry which it had I'M
ployed to establish this issue. But now it
seems "OtheIlo's occupations gone" 1t
has ascertained that we are only States
Rights men. We are glad TO get the Cou-
rier, at last, on this board Its gyrations
will be hereafter more restrained, and its is
sue-making faculty will be deprived of its
fuel. The Courier has been laboring very
industriously for a considerable time to prove
s.e. the Republican, guilty of a political
inconsistency, in ~disavowing %disunionism,
and ye; advocating the doctrines of State
party; but we freely yepudia ate the
emplifcation which the Courier makes OF
those doctrines. We advise the Courier to
continue its researches until it has read the
Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, and
the discussion thereon, thoroughly.

Rules to Prevent Evil Speaking.

Cherish no malice against any one.
"ln malice be yc children"
Envy no one. "Who is able to stand
before envy"
Never cherish any feelings of Jealousy
respecting any one. Jealousy is cruel
as the grave
Make it a rule to look for good qualities
in another more than for blemishcs and
faults. "Esteem others better than your
selves"
Never speak of the bad qualities of an
other, unless you design to do him good
or to promote the cause Of Christ. "Thou
shalt love thy ncighbor as thy self"
Always ask the appreciation and bless
Ing Of God on every thing you are about
to utter respecting another.
Observe these rules, and so far as you
are concerned, evil speaking will cease.

palhy gam, will twist his own conscience
