We are now to consider the State, under q

against aggressions.
Once out of the Union, what is to prevent!
The elements of strength in state are com.
pactness of territory, union ofinterest and feel
ing, pecuniary resources, and men Of strong
nerves and stout hearts. Some great men have
said, that, "par has no sineps but those of good
soldiers."s And again: ga State to be great,
must be of military race or both by origin
and disposition, warlke." There is much wis.
dom in these words. 1t is equally true, that
mere force never yet subdued spirited and in

can never be subdued. History does not fur

Consider now the situation aud circumstan.

will urge Us to a policy of peace. Cat off
from all prospect of enlarging our dominious

ambition of compassionate prolific source of
strife and war among the nations of tue world.
Our efforts would be directed to the pursuit Of
liberty and happiness; to striving after high
Development Of our internal resources; and to
making advancements in our moral and intellec.
tual attainments. While this would naturally
lead US to cultivate peace and comfy towards
other States, it would ensure from them feelings
OF friendship and sympathy for us.
Again: The nature of our, produce would
be well calculated to beget friendly relations
with other States. Our Exports consist of
fCotton, Rice, Lumber, &c:4pyoddcts Of the
earth. We are almost the only State that ex.

THE POOR MANS FRIEND.

No sable pail, no waving plume,
No thousand torch-ights to illume;
No parting glance, no struggling tear. Il
Is seen 10 fall upon the bier. .,-.4 -
There is not one of kindred clay,
To watch the coffin on its way;
No mortal form, no, human breast,
Cares where the poor mans bones may rest
But one deep mourner follows there,
Whose grief outlives the funeral prayer:
He does not sigh, he does not weep,
But will not leave the sodless heap
o!he who was the poor mans mate,
And made him more content with fate
The old gray dog that shared his crust,
Is all that stands beside his dust.
He bends his listening head, as though
He thought to hear voice below; 5a
He pines 10 miss that voice so kind, :.
And wonders why he's left behind.
The sun goes down, the night is come,
He needs no food, he seeks no home,
But, streached upon the dreamless bed,
With doleful howl calls back the dead.
The passing gaze may coldiy dwell
On all that polished marbles tell, ~
For temples built on churchyard earth
Are claimed by riches more than worth.
But who would mark with dimmed eyes,
The mourning dog that starves and dies!
Who would not ask, who wouldnot crave,
Such love and faith to guard h. gravel

MIssissIppI Election.

1t turns out that the Union majority in Mis-
sissiPpi is only about seven thousand, instead T
fifteen or twenty thousand as the submissionists
reported. This portends the election Of Gen.
DAVIS by a decided majority-for FooTE is
even more ridiculous personally. than snbmis.
sionism Is theoretically. II is bad enough for
Mississippi TO submit, but il would be too bad
for her TO descend TO the FooTE Of submission.

returns are all in, with the exception Of Two
counties-Coahoma and Green-both Of which
have elected Union delegates. The present
Union majority is 1852 in a poll Of 1862 -
Allowing for these counties, the full majority
will be about 1900 in a vote OF $4,000. The
entire Presidential vote OF Mississippi, in lS4s,
was 52,459. The total vote for governor in

Will any Dem crat who is one at heart, now
give aid and comfort TO his political enemies;
and thus give them strength at a future time to
strike us down. Has any one become so en-
FILTERED and alienated from his old friends, that
he would now prefer the triumph of those with
whom he has so long waged violent contest,
and in whose political principles or honesty, he
has no confidence? ii such there be go mark
him well; and you will find that he goes out
| from us, because he is not of us.
While we believe that the South has been
wronged in the late measures Of Congress
while we believe aggressions have been COM
mitted upon US; that the citizens of the North
have thrown obstacles in the way of the quiet
enjoyment of our constitutional rights, and have
unwarrantably interfered with Our domestic in
situations, both in and out of Congress; yet we
acquiesce in the decision Of our State and for
the sake of having union at home and giving
strength and moral force to our State abroad,
we assume the ground, with the mass of our
people, that violations of our rights may occur,
which will amount to intolerable oppression.
We believe that the Democratic party, alone,
can be relied upon to ward off those measures
SO obnoxious to us all, and to preserve our insti
tutions in their purity. Then, let our allying
cry now be, The union of The Democracy for The
sake Of The Constitution and the Union of the
States. Let MS stand fast and struggle on for
our ancient faith and ancient organization, and a
jealous cooperation with the sound portions Of
our old allies ofthe North.

Letter from Jefferson Davis.
BRIERFIELp, Sept. II, 1851.
UN.IL.......


T.. G. Wilkinson, Chairman, c-c.:
Sir IL have the honor of acknowledging the
receipt of your letter Of the 10th instant, in
forming me that the committee, which was APP
pointed Ly the convention in June last TO fill
any vacancy which might occur in the State
ticket then nominated, had met, and found that
the vacancy occasioned by the withdrawal Of
Gen. QUITMAN had been already filled by the
people and the Democratic press Of the whole
State, having nominated myself for the vacant
post, and that the committee gave to that nomi-
nation their concurrence. Your letter also in
forms me that the committee were aware that
the state of my health would not permit me to
engage in the canvass.
Under such circumstances, have only to re-
ply that my whole political life has been devoted
tn the Democratic cause, and the maintenance
of those principles in which originated the party
of strict construction, and faithful adherence to
the Constitution. 1t is not in an hour when
clouds have darkened our fortune that can re-
fuse any poor service it is still in my power to
render. That cause, and those principles, seem
more dear TO me now than in the day Of their
triumph.
As soon as my health will enable me, will
prepare an address to the people, in answer to
the nomination, my acceptance OF which has
been taken for granted. AT present, can only
return my thanks to the committee, and, through
them, to the Democracy of the State, for the
confidence they have thus manifested in my
willingness to meet any responsibility, or make
any sacrifice for the principles have always ad-
vocated, and which still believe to be essential
for the preservation OF that constitutional lib
erty we inherited from our revolutionary sires

aThe Richmond Wing notices an invention
by Mr.. Solomons, of Cincinnati, of what he
calls perfect substitute for steam. From
common whiting, sulphuric acid, and water
he obtains carbon in the gaseous state; and
with the power exerted by the gas, he asserts
that he now drives twenty five horse engine,
and for one-fortieth the expense of steam, lifts

We have seen several other notices of this
alleged invention.
The gas generated by mixture Of whiting
and sulpburic acid is not acarbon in its gaseous
state" It is almost the reverse of tit is car.
bonic acid gas 1t may if confined while gener-

pounds to the square inch, instead of five hun

abe for power without letting the gas escape,
and it is too expensive to be used in that way
This gas becomes liquid at pressure four hun

And when thus iquiied It expands in much
greater ratio, as the temperature is raised, than
almost any other substance. And hence it has
often been supposed that it might be used with
economy as q motive power. But the question
Is, how much actual fuel is required to raise this
fluid to given temperature. And this depends on
its specific heat Now, it may, and we have no
doubt will, require much greater quantity of
fuel to raise this liquifed gas few degrees, than
the increased power is worth. And besides, a
substance worked at such an enormous pres
sure, is too dangerous A slight flaw in the
boiler or vessel containing it, would expose all
concerned IN destruction.
We see il stated that the engine of Mr.. Solo

but let US know how much fuel is consumed,
and how much poweris produced. The engines
at Cincinnati are all high PRESSURE and very few of
them are constructed TO economic fuel, which
