SPEECHES IN THE MISSISSIPPI
LEGISLATURE.

Tho "Flag Of the Union" published several
speeches, delivered by tho friends of the Union,
in tho Legislature, during the extra session.
We have read them with pleasure; and intend
making extracts from them freely during the elec>
ton for delegates to the State Convention.
Mr. Hemmingway OF Carroll offered a subst,
tute for the Senate Bill, providing for Conven.
tion. He wished the que ston submitted to the
vote Of the people, to ascertain from them wheih.
er they wished convention of the State, on &C.
count OF the "Gdjusiment." II is well known,
but will be better known hereafter, that this prop.
osition was rejected, both in the House and the
Senate, and that too by the votes of those who
profess remarkable regard for the wishes Of
the dear people,
Mr.. Hemmingway's argumen, in favor of his
proposition, was conclusive land would have been
sustained but for caucus arrangements, and tha,
submissive spirit, which bowed at the shrine of
the secessionists. The rights Of the people were
jdisregarded, and their opinions treated with con-
tempt.
We do not publish the argument at this time,
hut short extract which shows that Mr.. Hem.
mingway is q union man who will do TO "tie TO-"
"Having now, sir, touched in my feeble man
nor upon most of the subjects that are involved

The principles settled in the preceding cases
are amply sufficient for the purpose. bui the limits
Of this communication viii not permit me to go
into details. Suffice il 10 say, Cor the present
that if we wish to punish the sins either Of CON-
mission or omission Of any particular STATE,
Massachusetts or Ohio for instance, We can lay
the foundation on the North Carolina statute and
pass an &C; improving upon il by Inserting the
word, "or cell by retail' lter peddle, and after
wooden clocks we can put in hats, boots, shoes,
ready made clothing, wooden nutnleg1 and tie
like, "Boslon notions" and for the especial bene.
fit Of our Durch abotionisls in Ohio, we can
tack on the VicksbIrg ordinance and lay an al
ral0rem tax to be levied on all tiat-bOa's, keel
boats, barges and other water craft wherein on
IONS caJbageS, and sourcrom are or may be sold
by retail within the limits Of the State. The
doctrine in its practical application may be e1-
tended almost dd iannitum, and be expanded or
contracted at pleasure. We select the articles,
and may alter aud change them as circumstances
may require. We can thus discriminate between
friends and foes Even il Kentucky should forget
herself SO far as to talk about treason and hemp,
bageng and rope, mules and horses, hogs and
horned cattle may be included in the catalogue
In q wor !, it is an argumentum ad hOminem that
speaks in such eloquent and persuasive terms 10
the pockets of our intermeddling northern bre'h>
rem, that even the most obuse and rabid aboli-
zionist amongst them could not resist lis appeals.
We can in this way, too, build up manufactures
ofour own, diversity labor, multiply home Produc'
ton, increase the value OF our property anu attain
Independence in the Union, instead Of seeking

Congress can lay no duty on e1pors-we raise

humble imitation of our Instructive Commander>

SORROWS SONG.

I've gazed on sorrows awful form;
I've met the whirlw,nd and the storm;
Winters Of agony and wo
Have brought my chastened spirit low,
Fill of the thoughts that iny cling,
And breathe upon the poets string
There. but one note i'll float along
NV trembling yre--'tis sorrows song.
Oh bcauteous hopes that blos'oned DER
NV primrose path in days Of yore;
Fair flowers that in my pathway grew,
Nursed by tic sunshine and the dew,
Where have ye flown? Oh answer, say;
Return and cheer the sad ones way.
Alas the winds that foat along
Ny trembling Tyre, wakes sorrows song.
And vet of Leths's tabled stream
would not drink, for still | dream,
Der looks, and smiles, and tones, each word,
BY fond affection tondly heard,
Dear as the exile's dream OF. home,
Forever doomed Ger earth 10 roam;
Although their mem'ry floats along
A breaking heart, in sorrows song.
Father, one boon asked Of thee,
The life loved" let misery,
And pain, and Penury betide,
Oh spare him. but it was denied;
And yet tain would kiss the rod,
Would bow submissive to my God,
And change the notes that float along
MY trembling Tyre to lleayeRs song"

1t is my aim, Messrs Edi,ors,to call attention to
the powers Of the several State Legislatures over
the subject of tdraon, in order TO suggest an examl
nation into the questionas TO what extent the same
may be employed as peaceable 4 constitutional
remedy against northern interference with SOUTH
ern rights. 1t is my intention to present what law
yers term brief, 80 as to facilitate the investigation
Of those who are disposed to examine the matter
carefully for themselves.
In North Carolina, in the case of Wynnc VS.,
Wright |. Dev. and Bat. Reps. p. 49, statute
Of this description was decided to be constitution,
all That every person who shall Peddle in any
county, goods not the growth or manufacture OF
the State. or any wooden clock, or the machinery
or material thereof which shall not be Of the
manufacture Of the State, or jewelry, which ma
chinery or clock, shall be manufactured of mate.
rials, moi of the growth, produce, or manufacture
OF the State, shall pay tax oftwenty dollars"
| A statute in Ohio was determined 10 be con
stlthtional taxing merchants and declaring that
all persons trading in foreign or domestic goods,
wares, and merchandise, or drugs and medicines,
within the Stale wheherthe capital employed shal'
be owned within the State or elsewhere, shall be
considered merchants, and as such shall be cassed
according to the amount Of annual captalby them
respectively employed. Raguet vs. Wade, Ham
mond lot, Ohio cond. Rep. 739.
1t was decided that statute of Indiana, impo-
sing fine upon any person who shall without
having license as required by law, vend any
foreign merchandise within the State was not a
violation of the Constitution ofthe United States.
Beail vs. The State, Bleckford l01.
Our own Supreme court has decided that ak
imposed by the city Of vicksburg. on the sales OF
produce imported by the citizens Of other States.
and sold within the limits OF the city, is not "an
mpost or duty" within the meaning OF the cor.
s,itution of the United States; and that when q
citizen Of Ohio comes into this State, and makes
sales Of his merchandise here, he must do so sub.
iect to the laws OF this State. Harrison vs.. the
Mayor and City Council Of Vicksburg, Smcdes

This tax, say the court, was not for the privi>
