Called Session of the LEGISLATURE,

The Legislature has been called to convene on the
4th of October by Proclamation of the Governor of
the State. We understand the object to be to district
the State, that shall be represented in Congress
by FIVE, instead of four now, members, the late ap
portionment assigning to Mississippi, another member
The Proclamation states also, that the existing con-
dition OF the Treasury imperousy demands early adj
ditlona legislation. It further said, that
in furtherance of certain great schemes of internal i'm
provements urged reason for the convocation
of the legislature
The State should have been dstricted at the regular
session, and no reason, political one, can be
assigned for the failure. The Treasury is now, or will
be soon, bankrupt andyet, in the face of this fact
the legislature is called together at an expense of
many thousand dollars, to do work that political DEM
agogues refused to do-they sworn to do, at the
proper time Thus it is, that the peoples money is
squandered and they taxed to maintain system of
plumber and extravaganza, unprecedented in the an
mails of State government What are these "certain
great schemes of internal improvement requiring
the nterpositon of Legislative action What do they
propose to do We have heard of no issues before
the people requiring legislative action, and
tey opposed to any action by which the State or her
credit to be involved. The people will money
by giving feesimpe title to that squad of specula-
ting gamblers in swamp lands and river eveys in sur
rendering to them at all claim the State possess
es to those contesting interests The money squand-
cred for school purposes ought to be stopped. The
system, if worthy of the name, defective that ii
defeats all valuable results it intended to produce
and the it wiped out, the better for the
pie. The Insane Asylum is insane project will
cost the people several hundred thousand dollars and
will stand at the Treasury door mendcant for the
next hundred years.
Our taxes are now enormous, but they are not sufi
cient to meet the demands of rapacty that has nc
bowels 1t would be wise in the people of Mississip
pi, if they would amend the organic law SO as to pre-
vent the Legislature from converting oftener than once
in ten years, to legislate for general purposes The
history of legislation in this State for fifteen wears pas
is more instinct with folly fraud and speculation thar
that OF any similar history extan of which we have
any printed record. Demagogueism has had it's day
and we live in the hope of seeing it entombed respec
tally some ofthese days. Nothing upon the face O
this earth would afford exquisite pleasure thar
that of being called to solemnze the solemn rites O.
sePulture over its remaines, and together in
garland its virtues and pass them to posterty in
lament, the music of which would be as sweet as thai
which the breath of Peri ever drew from shell.

exceedingly striking. There is first, the Philosophy

the Wlte's Lament very sentimentalish and then,
True Friendship, heroic twaddle-Scribblinos, and
then the Wreath-a Dream, by young friend w
M. Ward of Macon. This is the lightest production
we have ever seen from his pen, barren of true
thought and less Poetical but it well for the
MGgazane which appears to be intended channel
for all the trash that Aunt Nancyism can produce
An article credited, Household Words is readable and
the article headed the Chinese Nation, is good
sensible. ]. w. Overall, appears as the writer of
piece ofpoetry headed Lifes Philosophy, that is not
half as forcible as the lines by w. o. Bourne on the
same subject, which may for ought we know, have
suggested Overall's Life's Philosophy.
In justice to the editor of the Southern Maqazine

few lines to show that his work is not entirely devoid
