under which this so-called enlightened rerutiie
now groans-extreme wealth and poverty, and
their sequences, crime and misery. We think
he cannot do it. True, there is far less of this
evil in this country than in any other on the
globe but there is too much, far too much Of
it here If then, the doctrines of these parties
do not propose some plan for the amelioraton
of the con lition of those who suffer under these
abuses if they do not propose some way to
bring society out OF n social system fraught with
so much evil, so pregnant with mischief, Of
what practical leneft are they' What is the
use of sustaining them
But we think that to on observer Of the signs
of the times, they are ominous of . better
state of things, and that there is a shadowing
forth of brighter days, when freemen will know
and exercise their rights. If men Of integrity
and virtue will but throw off the bonds of party
politics and stand forth and battle for their
rights-coming up to the ballot-box with the
conscienciousness of n responsibility resting IN
them, regardless Of cllqucs-not with desire
to confer Office on some favorite or popular
party leader. because he has been nominated
hy caucus Of some few designing expectants-
but for the principles Of right. We are happy
in the opinion that the state of affairs in this
country are indicative Of - breaaing up Of the
old party marks and that freemen are begin
ming to zee that it is time for them to exercise
their rights of suffrage untrammeled by the
shacklcs which have so long bound them.
Let them but do this to the full extent-let all
do it and we SHALL prove to the world that the
Inheritance attained by cur fathers in 1776 has
not fallen into the hands of unworthy sons.

MARRIED AND UNMARRIED LADIES'
The situation of a married and unmarried

STATE OF MISSISSIPPI.

Governor WHITFIELD, ad interim Chief Magis-
trate OF MISSISSIPPI has addressed his message to
the Legislature of that State. 1t discusses largely
the policy of an extensive system of ofsisernal i'm
provements deriving arguments in favor Of it from
the experience of neighboring States, and main
tanning that these improvements must be effected
by the local Government, out of its own resources,
and not by the Federal Government. The message
makes brief alluson to the passage of the Compro-
mise measures, and the excitement growing out of
them, and to the steps taken by the State of Mis-
sssippi to consider the course rendered necessary
by their enactments. Gov. WHITFIELD, without
expressing any opinion as to the wisdom of the
solution of acquiescence in the compromise adopt
ed by the Convention called by his predecessor, de-
clares that he and the Legislature are bound to
spect it as the voice of majority of the people.
