Organization.

In casting about us for general and full organized
plan of operations, have met and meeting daily
with views and oplnons-not in regard to the great
leading principles guiding the conservative party of
the South,-that differ somewhat with our notions It
seems that there exists sort guerilla warfare hunt
ing by tves tens and fties proceeding. Itis waste
of time and ammunition. The conservative party must
shorten the issues and trim up the details to pre-
sent full front upon the questions growing of the
action OF the called session of the legislature and such
other matter the last of Congress seem to de-
mand There are, in opinion, three questions dis
tlnct in bearing before the people. The first in i'm
portance, the one overriding all others is What shall
the convention do Regarding it as a sovereign as
semby the objects should be distinctly defined and rat
flied by the people at the baot-box. The delegate
should go up with the sovereign will of the people of
his county made manifest by his election He should
feel sovereign and free only far as he expresses the
will ofhis constituents. This can be done but in one
way. The points upon which the convention is to act
should be brought before the people, and if they sus-
tain the candidate he is clothed with their SOVEREIGN
authority for the purposes specfed-and nothing more
This is too apparent to need argument.
Hence the necessity for fixed set of positions for
the delegates to the convention
The second in our opinion is, Shall the South assert
her equality, stand by her rights and demand redress
This involves discussion of the recent acts of Con-
gress and this subject for pushing into the Con-
gressiona or federal election. 1t is distinct issue
having no sort of connection with the election for dele
gates to the convention.
The third question is between Senator Foote and
the people OF Mississippi. This is question of no
great dignity and can never be vamped into Importance
either by Senator Foote or his friends LISA scuie

for place We shall passit by as one OF those epne'
eral issues that political recreancy thrust upon pubhc
notice occasionally.
weiindicated in a general manner our opinions
they are before the people. This press IS oouno pu,
- ono Great maxim-that equality and justce-and
.t.ofore do hattie wherever that maxim is to- be
ad,r.ncoa ORGANIZATION seems necessary. There is
foo much room now for the demagogue-he must be
pushed into narrow circle and receive our ~ ..'
ar noint In unity there is strength in DIVISION
weakness Give us therefore, general platform upon
b; tho conservative interest of the whole State can
stand.
VIII the press of the State speak out and indicate
the sentiment of different localities An efficient or
ganization, in our opinion, is demanded

Stock Banks--the policy CT the People.

Looking to the commercial interest of the mercantile
portion of the community in this section of the State.
and to this community particularly it has occurred TO
US that we cannot discharge whole duty to them
long as we fail in bringing forward and advocating to
the extent of humble means every that will
tend to strengthen the State, render commercial
men Independent of foreign aid, and the bonds of
vassaage in every direction The monetary condition
of the commercial community is most lainentable and
annoying and VIC can see remedy short OF thorough
reformation of the existing state of affairs by arousin
the people to sense of their existing dependence and
pointing the way to policy, which, if entered upon
with determination and pushed forward upon Just and
sound premises WILL it is believed, procure for easy
and safe facilities, and at the time, commercial
independence as State and prosperity as people
We are wholly dependent upon sister States for a
circulating mediums and it is susceptible of the clearest
demonstration that one fourth of the legitimate profits
of nearly every branch of business in this community
goes to enrich those who furnish the paper trade
upon There exist no healthy business relations
between the merchant and the consumer under sys-
TEN so suicidal as that indicated Wherever suspi-
cion finds Judgement some enc has to pay for tin
other words guaranteed business will demand fairr
turn for the guaranty Ifforegn bank paper is under
suspicion it is at discount somewhere and somebody
has to paw for it. Is it the dealer the consumer Let
the experience of this community answer this question
Having but little space this morning, shall sim
ply indicate that it intention to bring the subject
of Stock Banks before the public and advocate the
Enlistment of Columbus and such other points
the wants of the commercial interest shall to
demand. Our mercantile friends will find in this press
an advocate for their independence in than one
way. 1t is intended to be friend to all projects that
will strengthen our social relations noursh and sustain
own State, her merchants and mechanics, and to
place her and them in position of security beyond the
caprice and interests of foreign money-enders and
governmental protected labor.
Shall we be sustained

the peope Of Mobile to build it without assistance from
abroad, they will be disappointed The undertaking
is too heavy for Mobile alone to accomplish N any rea
sonabe time They have already been supJectei to
heavy tax to put the work under way, and are noww
ing to tax themselves at the rate of two per ceItpe
nnum on the value of their real estate, in addt
their private subscriptions for stock, to further the i

on their own resources, from Mobile to the essisspf
line; and then furnish the iron rab engines Sars &C.
for the balance of the road if the people along the
route will furnish the roadbed ready forthe rails The
expenditure proposed to be made by Mobile is more
than half the entire of the road and mostly to be
expended abroad The outlay required by the uu
country is less than half the cost Of the road and
will be expended in the country and neighborhoods
through which the road passes, very decided advan<

DiSuliOE.

It has been industriousy circulated throughout the
State that the Standard to be established as the
Dsunon advocate in Mississippi. That its protector
and owners were dsunonists, and that it would take
dsunon as the only available remedy to right South
ern wrongs These stories were put aloat with full
knowledge of their falsity and by who knew they
were propogating deliberate and wfu falsehoods. 1t
to poison Il minds of the people against
the Standard in advance and do so, alsehood was
the weapon resorted to- We deal with the deliberate
liar and sanderer in but one way We shall spend no
time in attempting to prove that the Standard is no
disunion paper-whenever it is pronounced so by men
who know better, we shall brand them slanderers
and wilful liars.

advocates, IN procuring Its rahcatlOn by the States,
but the State Conventions so received it and its
advocates in the respective States placed its rati
fcation and adoption in their respective Conven-
tlons upon the same high platform of their entire
independence and equality, as to the taxing power
In the Convention of New York, the objection
was made to the taxing power given to Congress
by the 9th section of the st article of the Consti
tuition. Mr. Smith first raised the warning voice
4 See Elllot's Debates, 1st VOL p. 1861 Mr.
Williams followed.-(See p. 30O.) Speaking Of
the defencsless condition of the States he said. .Is
not the power, both over tarotion and the militia
wrested from their hands by the Constitution, and
bestowed upon the General Government Yes.
SIR 1t IS. But it may be said I expect to be an
swered that the States have concurrent Jurisdiction
with Congress, as to taxation. / answer, the Con-
stltuton does not say so, &C.
Suppose, however, that the States have concur
rent jurisdiction with Congress in taxation It is
evident, as the laws of Congress are the supreme
laws OF the land-that their taxes, whenever they
interfere with the taxes laid by the States, must
and will claim priority as to the collection-in
TACT that they may, in order to pass laws necessa-
ry to the end, abolish the State taxes
