Mr.. Claiborne qualified his adhesion to the
report, by stating that he agreed with the Com
missioners as to the division of the tax rela-
lively TO the debt, but that in addition TO the
points settled by the conference, he did not
agree with them upon some other points as to
the manner in which they had proceeded in

tute for the preamble and ordinance providing

inequalities, in proportion to the assessed value
of real estate within the limits of each, accord
ing to the assessment rolls of 1851. That has
been aseertained and thus apportioned, as will

DEAR SIR in the Natchez Courier of date
the 30th July, fiud the following statement:
s'No suit that we are aware Of has been brought
against the State ON the Planters Bank Bonts.'
Though the editor of this whig paper is not
aware Of it, is YET true, that more than one
suit has aIreedy been brought against the State,
in the Chancery Court at Jackson, on the Plan
,er's Bank Bonds Some time ago suit was COM
menced by Mr.. George Yerger, attorney for the
bnndholders. on the bonds, and interest thereon
for near the sum, if my memory serves me, Of
two hundred and thirty thousand dollars. a
second suit has been very lately instituted by
Mr. Eustis of Natchez, on these bonds, for eigh-
teen thousand dollars. Both suitsare now pend
ing and undetermined. Insamuch as the duties
of my Office lave charged me with knowledge
Of these facts, and that the people Of the State
may have correct information on the subject,
will be pleased if you will insert the foregoing in
your paper. Very respectfully, your ob't. serv't

TIho sUnfor,, aHumbu.E.

AS the whig party is now doing in this State,
50 they did lii the other Southern States. during
the recent campaign, where elections have been
held--they appealed TO the old issues about their
love Of country, q conservatism" and the = Un-
ion-cause" TO smuggle wings into office. But It
would not win, the trick was discovered, the
plotters arrested. and sent to legisae over their
own private affairs instead Of those Of their
country. They have been most cruelty defeat ted
and The Montgomery (Ala.) Journal strong
whig organ, thus writes their epitaph in that
State:
8" While the wings have done unusually well
IN the House, they have inevitably lost the Sem
ate, which, for number of years, we had ear
ried, and had control Of that House. The Sen
ate now stands 81 locos to IL wings, which car
ries as uack TO the days of no. and the result Of
thirteen weary years is all lost at DASH III
this is The effect Of the attempt to keep up the
hunabHg Of Unionisn after the issue had no lon
ger reason or uitdlity,"
| Aud thus it is from canvass to canvass and
from year to year the wings are eternally seek
ing some humbug by which to ride into Office
When real issue is brought out they are off
like fash. 1t is only imaginary issues which
they will risk their cause with. The old settled
issue about '.Unionsm" is clung to with as
much eagerness as 1t was IN 81. That, how
ever, was not an entire whig and democratic
tissue. But now that that question has been
settled it is only fit for whig hobby, on which
to gallop into office. The success of 1910, when
hambuggery and trickery alone were resorted TO,
was death blow 10 the whig party. Since that
time they have ever resorted to schemes of hum
buggery, but with single exception two
they have ever met with defeat-generally of the
most signal kind. We sincerely ask the voters
Of the land if they see anything in the Un-
ion Foote humbug of the present canvass, but
scheme TO elect wings to office Are the wings
contending for principle? If SO what is ii :?
On the contrary are they not attempting to
evade the issues which are properly before the
people? The question of the Union Bank Bonds
| is the principal one, and they not trying to
dodge that? Why, we cannot get the Wing
candidates in this county TO "come OUT on H.
| Thu expect TO run in on fhe blind side. This
is not the only question before the people though
Upon the next Legislature will devolve the duty
Of dislricting the State into five Congressional
districts. The wings know this, they have an
eve TO ii but they dare not mouth it, oh. 10 !!
that wouldn't do, il would drive off the Union
democrats The old cry about the salvation of
the Union appears to be tie only one that is like
ly to deceive the people, and they ride that alone.
Il is only in times of high excitement that such
humbugs take-never when the-peoPe have time
for reflection, as they now have The issues are
before them. they must meet them or the result
will be like their friends over the line. Tie
Union democracy are not TO be toIled into whig-
gery by the cry about Foote, when the object of
ii is so plain.

yellow Fever.

On last Friday evening it was announced by
one Of our physicians, that two deaths had oc-
Cured in this place from yellow fever,--one sew
eral days since, and one (P. Corbitt sadder) tha;
evening This OF course created great excite
ment, and MANY Of our citizens prepared to leave
town immediately. During Saturday many did
leave: some from hearing false reports, others
from pure fright, and others from sense of pru-
dence. On yesterday morning we consulted DR..
Leake. who attended Mr. Corbitt and the other
man who died. and who is also attending Mex
icau now sick with it, but who will probably re-
cover DR.. Leake and his partner, DR.. Barnett,
as Dr. L. informed us agree as to the nature oi
the disease, and pronounce it yellow fever, but
not of an epidemic form. It is thought that an
act of imprudence caused MIR. Corbitt's death
having drank great quantity of butter-milk
when improving the other died from neglect.
This place was never healthier than now, at
this season of the year. There has been no new
cases of fevers for several days, that we hear Of
The physicians think there is no occasion for
alarm, any more than ordinarily at this season
Of the year There is no alarm here now.
The above is the true state of affairs at this
place, as near as we are able to learn. And we
have felt It our duty to makean unvarnished
statement. that false reports may be corrected
abroad
For tie following information respecting the
Yellow Fever we are indebted to Mr.. Howe
Telegraph Operator at Vicksburg, [and the only
one who has stood his ground at that place du-
ring The prevailing cpidemic.)
At New Orleans it is abating only from want
OF snbiects-very fatal At Grand Gull. as Mr.
Howe learns from Mr.. VIM. L. Cushman, O

WHAT THEY THINK ABROAD.

Notwithstanding the many quotations which
the papers of this State have made from news
papers and letters from all parts Of the Union,
to show the character of Gov. Foote to be any
thing but enviable abroad, he and his whig
friends hold his foreign reputation up as evil
dence of his patriotic course. The Governor
claims to be the peculiar and fortunate friend of
President Pierce, quotes from The Inaugural to
prove that Mr.. Pierce looks upon him as one Of
the preservers of the Union. And this too,
while his friends, the wings, are denouncing
Pierce for his sSecession" appointments, and his
sacrifice of the Union Democracy. If we take
the trouble 10 compare notes, we see at once
that Gov. Foote does not command the approval
of either the President or the democratic party
abroad.
When here, Gov Foote referred to compli-
mentary toast which was offered TO his name at
Philadelphia not long since, and said that he
was thus respected everywhere, &C., &c. A
short time since, we received private letteI
from friend in that city, from which we cx-
tract the following:
81 am pleased to hear that the political atmos-
pheTe OF your State is not as pregnant of storm
as il Was some months since, and that the dark
clouds that then o'ercast the horizon are gFadu-
ally disappearing. BY November next, trust
! The noon-day sun of democracy will dispel every
cloud, and that its presence will moi only be
seen but felt. Whiggery, of itself, can scarcely
offer any opposition to the march of democratic
/ principles-at all events it is at present harm
less. 1t is the Judas lscariats of our party dis
guised. from whom we have most TO fear. Gen
Davis always considered harmless for evil--bui
it is not thescase with Foote. If you can sue
coed in defeating him for the Senate, he viii
herfceforth and pray God forever, be powerless
for good or evil His defeat--as also that o.
Benton in Missouri. is duty that the denlocra
cy Of the respective States owe to the democrac,
