ana State Republican thus telsus what sort of men
The Parish Of Jefferson has delegated to the Wing
Congressional Convention at Donaldsonville, on

could be paid by the organ of party to the gentle
men delegated to fill the most important party
trusts. Democrats well as wings, who are faith.
fnl to their party's behests, will freely admit this
But let US listen to the Republican:
The delegates chosen to attend the Convention
At Donaldsonville, all men Of unQues tionable
whiggery, and of the right stripe at that. They
are men who regard the good old wing cause above
the claims of the actious asprants; who entertain
proper sense Of the dignity Of office and the power

and will WELD an important influence in the Con-
ION. They also understand and fully appreciate
4e3dvantages of our geographical position in the
Congressional District and they will go 10 the
Convention untrameed by pledges or preferences
30 far as men or sections concernsd-sinkinga all
other considerations in one transcendent object the
unity and harmony Of the whig party
We are more than gratifed at the harmonious
result Of this meeting, because it was feared that
some Of the seeds OF discord which have lately
sProuted in New Orleans, might have been trans
planted in our midst. Such, however, is not the

A gentleman of this city has placed at our dis
posai a letter which he has just received from =
friend in Mississippi. We publish all of it that
rslates to public affairs with sincere pleasure, mas
much as there is no gentle man in our sister State
more capable than the writer, to form a correct
estimate of the current of popular opinion, and
the strength of parties there.
JACKSON. Miss, July 10, 1851.
"You express desire to know how political
matters look here. confess that feel too deep
an interest in the contest to be sober prognost
Gator The contest is by far the most exciting and
deeply interesting of any that we have ever had in
Mississippi l wish you were here, for it is just
such canvass as l know would enlist all your
energy and enthusiasm. General Foote returned
home ten fifteen days since, from tour in North
Mississippi, and gives good account Of the cause
in that part of the State. Oilers who have trav-
elled among and seen the people, say that there is
no doubt that Foote will carry every northern
county except Lafayette, and possibly Pontotoc.
In one or two other counties there will perhaps be
a struggle. In Tippah and Tshamingo, Footes
friends claim at least 5000 majority. In the east,
we carry Noxubee by large majority, Kemper by
300 or 400. and struggle for many of the others.
In the river counties, am sure our majority will
be larger than the usual wing majorities. You
will see at once that have made out a clear case
for our side. feel confident that the matter stands
that way now. What effect the canvass of Quit
man NTH Foote, which has just commenced, may
have, do not pretend to say. The leaders are
making a powerful effort to convince the people
that it is all wing trick, and to induce them TO
rally back upon old party lines and Quiiman; and
they have succeeded to some extent but think
that Foote will more than sustain himself in the can
vass with Quitman, will hold him to his secession
message, and all their willy acts to evade the issue
will avail them very little. One thing is certain
there is large majority of the people Of the State,
perhaps threeffths of the whole, opposed to
sion of any sort. They Che dsunionsts) discov-
cred this, and hence their efforts evade the issue
made by Gen. Quitman in his November message
If Foote succeeds, and think there is scarcely
doubt of it, his triumph will be a most brilliant
one; and think it will have much to do in quell
should fail, it will be hailed by South Carolina
great triumph of the disunion secession party.
There is one thing that encourages us-that is, we
know that have the good wishes of the balance
Of the oorld with us, except South Carolina. .
Our accounts from the opening scenes in the
canvass between Foote and Quitman, in Yazoo,
are very favorable, and we look for more of the
same sort. The Quilman men here admit that
Fooe triumphed over him at Yazoo but they say
that Qntman will ruin him at Lexington But we
shall see what we shall see''

the Act Of 1850. The herculean labors of this
office are going forward with admirable system,
and its immense business is being disposed Of as
rapidly as the nature Of the case and the physical
force at command will admit. The Office disposes
of the applications for land warrants in the order
in which they are made-being the only fair and
equitable rule that could be adopted. The Wash
ington Republic, in an article on the subject says
We are authorized to say that applications for
bounty land for services in the of 1912, which
filed received in the Pension Office from the
third to the SeUenth day of December, 1850, are
now in course of examination so also are claims
for services in the Florida and other Indian wars
which filed from the th5rtieth of November
to the stath of December last; SO that claims for
services in those several wars are nearly in the
same state of forwardness. The applications by
the officers in the late with Mexico are some-
what In arrear, in consequence of the msappre-
hension of clerk by whom they were registered ;
but they will be brought up for examination in the
course of few days. We understand that not.
wthstanding the sickness and necessary absence
always occurring at this of the year, when
some OF the Government officers are compelled to
have their families in the country, the warrants
issued are in full proportion to the rec in the
Pension Office, and that the zeal ndsindustry OF
the clerks not surpassed in any of the bureaus
The number of applications for bounty land under
the act OF $780, we are informed, is now upwards
of 100000 and may possibly reach the number of
100000, as estimated by the Secretary of the Int
rior. There are, doubtless, many old men and
widows claiming for services in the war of 1912,
to whom the bounty would be acceptable, espe-
cially if it escapes the vigilance of mercenares
until Congress gives it assignabe quality but
when it is recolected how tardy Congress was in
granting the boon, miracles ought not now be
expected of the Pension Office in favor of these
claimants No one can justly find fault with the
miliers rule, which custom makes the common
law of the country for all classes and in all kinds
Of business.

very picturesque appearance. 1t is rather dull at
present, but is said TO be very lively in the winter
season, when, the merchants and others returning
from their summer tours, business revives and
fourishes. The public buildings are neither nu.
merous nor handsome The capitol is the princi-
pal and handsomest. 1t has two fronts, supported
on each side by six plain columns, and two wings
branch out on either side of the building, which is
of brick, white cemented. There are two hotels,
the City Hotel" and the " Planters - The former
is the larger, and is kept by Mr.. Bryan. while the
latter seems be the more popular, and is kept by
Col Fisher. The religious part Of the community
is well supplied with places Of worship. The Me.
thodists, Presbyterians, Baptsts, and Episcopal
lians, each have church. The Catholics are
about to build one and in the mean time they wor-
ship in private room. The Union Bank, Court
House, Jail, Market, " and Postoffc conclude
the list of public buildings.

Mr. D'i'raeli, in the House of Commons, on the
Path, read resolution which he Intended to move
on the Monday following, when the Ministerial
Financial measures will come up, setting forth
that, according to an estimate OF the probable flu
ture produce of the existing taxes submitted to the
House by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it ap-
pears that surplus revenue may be expected the
present year of about two millions; that in the re-
venue so estimated, is included sum exceeding
five million pounds, derived from tax upon in
come, respecting which an inquiry has been direct
ed TO be made by Committee of this House, on
the result of whose labors may depend the future
renewal or modification of that improvement upon
the impost which in this provisional state of the
financial arrangements of the country, appears to
this House to be most consistent with true regard
to the maintenance of public credit, and the ext
gencies of the public, to make any material sacri-
flee of public income, in offering such changes as
may be deemed advisable in other branches of
taxation. An unsuccessful attempt was at the
same time made by Mr.. Herbert to obtain from the
Government some indemnity for the sufferers by
the notorious Savings Bank frauds in Ireland.
The Commissioners, to whom was referred the
consideration of the claims of Ireland to have one
of her Western ports selected as the point of de-
parture for Trans. Atlantic Packet station, have
made an elaborate report After viewing all the
arguments urged in favor of the proposition, they
state We find no reason to conclude that the local
and particular advantage resulting from the meas
ure would be so great saving of time SO important
as to counterbalance the large additional expense
which would be entailed upon the imperial reve-
nue., and the evils and Inconvenience which would
be inflicted upon great body of the mercantile
and travelling portion Of the community by remov-
ing the packets from the place where they were
originally established as being the focus of the
commercial transactions of the United Kingdom
with the North American Continent Capt Wat
son, of the emigrant ship Jean, at Galway, has
been fined f25 and costs for having an excess of
five passengers on board Fifty Hungarian ref1-

The Senate Reports.

In the reports in the Union Of the Senate
proceedings of Tuesday and Wednesday we
find the following notices:
''Mr. RHETr then addressed the Senate His
speech is reserved for repision.'
"Mr. mason addressed the Senate al some len 9Th
in explanation of the action of the committee in
relation to the Fugitive Slave bill. He reserves
has remarks for rsUision."
In selecting the above illustrations of the
remark we are about to make, we disclaim any
invdious selection of individuals; we do not
know that other Senators in the same debate
did not reserve to themselves a similar privi-
lege. To us it seems, however, that by this
mode Of reserUing speeches for reoision we lose
all the advantages that might be derived from
the present system of reporting. 1t would be
better, we submit, that Senators should speak
under the conviction. that what they say will
be preserved for public inspection and scrutiny
They then speak with deeper sense Of re
sponsibity, and leave unsaid what in their
cooler moments they might desire to obliberate
We have been told publicly by Senators, on the
floor of the Senate, that the speeches as re.
ported are frequently very different from the
speeches actually delivered This should not
be. 1t is not Just to the Senate, or to the
public
We are not aware of the extent to which
this revision Of speeches is carried; but any
change in the reported speech is to that extent
violation of truth and an imposition on the
public. How the evil may be remeded we
cannot undertake to say; but in our Judgment
some corrective oupht TO be appied
