The Natchez Courier collates the opinions
Of the Union Wing press of Mississippi in re-
gard to the proposed call for reorganization of
the Wing party in that State. The feeling in
favor of such procedure appears to be largely
on the increase, although certainly dssented
from by more than one journal of deserved in
1uence in the Union ranks.
Amongst the journals that advocate Wing
State Convention, as preliminary to represen-
tation in the National Wing Convention, are
the Vicksburg Wing, the Aberdeen Independent,
the Yazoo Wing, the Holly Springs Gazette,
and the Brandon Republican connected with
thriving communities, and all entitled to con-
sheraton in consequence of past fidelity to ma
tional sentiments. They concur in the support
Of Mr.. FILLMORE as the first choice of the
State; the Yazoo Wing promising support to
General ScoTT if he be the nominee, '.pro-
vided he makes full and decided and sat-
isfactory statement of his views on the Com
promise" Some Of the number conceive that
National Union Convention would be most
desirable, but they do not expect that one will
be held. They therefore urge that both sec
tions of the Union party should send delegates,
respectively, to the Democratic and Wing Con-
ventions with determination, however, to
support the nominee most strongly pledged to
the Compromise and the antiintervention doc
rine, regardless of old associations
On the other hand, the Lexington Observer
and the Canton american Citizen deprecate an
abandonment of the Union organization, and
return to old party designations; resting their
objection chiefly on the ground that the Dis
unionists, though scolched, are not killed
that they are as active as ever. though more in
sidous-and that the Union party has there
fore much TO accomplish before its mission be
completed. The true course, they maintain,
is to wait until the National Conventions have
assembled, and then 10 throw the influence Of
the Union organization into the scales, in sup
port of the nominee most entitled TO the conf
dence Of the South.
We put these views on record as useful con-
tributions TO the stock Of information necessary
TO appreciation of The character and ten.
dency of southern feeling on the Presidential
question.

Ohio Democracy and the Comprorni.e.


The out spoken declarations Of the Savannah
GeorgiUi-which vindicates the silence of re T.
cent Democratic Conventions on the Compro-
mise, on the ground that the party do not in
tend to be bound to il as a fnaity-are recip-
rocated by the Freesoi Democracy Of Ohio
with equal expictness, Speaking Of that
State, their organs refuse TO allow their pre-
sent acquiescence in the Compromise measures
to be construed into an admission of their JUS
tice, or pledge that they shall be respected
when the time for ress sting them shall arrive
One Of these journals-the Kallda putnam
Coz Yentue-thus rebukes the effort Of our
neighbor Of the Union TO produce contrary
impression:
'Tt is in the power Of no living man TO commit
the Democracy Of Ohio 10 an approval Of the Com
promise measures. To give such an expression on
their behalf would be the enunoiation Of n lie,
which might remain UNPUBLISHED for time, bot
would ultimately give way 10 truth, or plunge tho
Democratic party Of our State into a minority more
hopeless than that from which the liberal prinoi-
plcs and vice measures Of the last few years have
redeemed it,"
The Venture goes on 70 indicate the only
course that can satisfy the extreme sections Of
the Democratic party, or produce even passa-
bic degree Of harmony. We make an extract
which will suffice 10 show how close is the re-
semblance between the line Of action laid down
by Freesoil Democrat in the interior Of Ohio.
and a Southern Rights Democrat writing at
about the saIne time in the commercial mart Of
Georgia:
"Thore is but one policy upon which tho Demo
cratic party ever sta nd united both North and
South and IL ia the doctrine Of State and individu
al independence upon the one vesed question Of

A long search would be needed to discover
more open avowal Of political prohigacy than
is contained in the above paragraph And yet,
shameless as II IS, II reveals nothing more than
the naked truth in reference to the policy which
Secessionists and Freesoiers propose to pur-
sue in the approaching campaign. Each OPP
posed to the Compromise, they untedly agree
to ignore its existence and obligations, trusting
to the chances Of an exciting contest for the
means Of hereafter striking more effectually at
both.

Mr.. RANToUL thinks Congress has no such
power and that the exercise of it is gross,
palpable, fragrant violation of the Consli.
tuition"
This is Mr. RaNTouL's platform. This is
the kind OF Democracy with which Governor
BRowN sympathizeS. Mr. RANToUL's love Of
State rightse drives him to this concluson
just as Governor Browns love of state
rights drives him to a belief in the right of
secession. If the Northern States believed
with Mr.. RANToUL, and acted on that belief
Governor Brown would find no difficulty in
bringing his theoretical notions to practical test
Thus Abolition plays into the hands of Secession,
and Secession very naturally returns the COM
pliment by being very kind and tolerant to
Abolition. Governor BRowN, as the Repre-
sentative from slave State, certainly cannot
agree with Mr.. RANroUL on the subject of
slavery. He will hardly say that the man who
respects the rights of the South in regard TO
slavery, "eats southern dirt" as Mr.. RAN
TouL insists. Why, then, his Partially for
Mr.. RANroUL2 Simply because his opinions,
and those of the men who act with him, if
made operative and practical, would inevitably
bring about that dissolution of the Union which
is the favorite object of Governor BRowN, Mr.
RHETr, and the school to which they belong.

Steam Communication with Ireland.

The New York Legislature has passed bill
which, under the general object of legalizing
steamship companies, is intended to afford spe-
clai encouragement to a projected company for
the establishment Of steam communication be-
tween New York and Ireland. The bill itself
is uneXcepllonable, and we Join its supporters

tries and the amell0raton of the lot of Irish
emgranis The result of the various schemes
that have been on foot during the last twelve
months with ihls object In view point to the
need OF better management, and more scrupu-
ious faith, than have been displayed by the indi-
viduals or companies who have had charge of
the business
In the final debate ON the bill in the State
Assembly, on Saturday, we find some express
slons by Mr.. MALoNEY--an active promoter of
the bill-which seem worth picking out, if only
to display the extent to which the spirit of
demagogism is allowed to NEEDLE with the or
binary functions of business. MIR. MALoNEY
is reported to have said:
"Upon the land, steam was now Democrat. In
our railroad cara, the poor man borne along as
swiftly, and in most cases comfortably as the
rich man. Why should it not be 90 upon the ocean?
Why should the rich man be enabled to cross the
Atlantic in ten days in floating palace and the
poor man be condemned to be tossed about for ak
ty days upon the ocean in floating pest house?
There was no just reason why this anomaly should
be allowed to continue. Humanity, justice, the
spirt Of free institutions, all protected against
it,"
What connexion can this style of declama-
ton be supposed to have with measure legal
izing mercantile undertaking? What has
rich or poor, democracy or aristocracy, to do
with the formation of Joint stock company,
which cannot be carried on successfully with
out strict adherence to the ordinary laws of
commerce? The ''anomaly" which excites
Mr.. MALoNEY's Indignation exists before the
voyage across the Atlantic be commenced, and
will exist when the voyage is completed; and
any "protest" that he may enter against il
must be aimed at society, not at the owners Of
ships or steamers.
The argument Of Mr.. MALoNEY-if string
OF nonsenscal questions can be dgnifed with
tho term-only deserves notice because it ex-
emplifes with tolerable fairness the general
tone of the appeals on which certain order of
Democrats rely for the accomplishment of their
purposes Delivered in the bar room of grog-
gerry it would be Legitimate enough; but that
it should have passed without rebuke amongst
the assembled wisdom Of the Empire State, is,
to say the least, ''passing strange"

high literary merit, independently of It's value
and interest as a comparative disquisition on

sec that Mr.. STouGHroS, in the midst of
very active practical pursuit Of the law, makes
leisure enough, in lis engrossing daily cares and
details, 10 devote himself TO the cultivation of
his profession as science. Too often il is re.
garded merely as tSde; and if the recent at
tempted reform in New York should have the
tendency 10 rescue ii from the mechanical elias,
into whose hands it was very rapidly falling
and make the study Of principles paramount To
that of forms-we think that such men as Mr..
SroUGHroS will have no reason to regret the
temporary confusion and embarrassment which
are incident TO all extensive innovations.
