who is candidate for reelection to Con-
gress in the Northern District of Mississippi.
in card to his constituents. gives new
reason for the appointment of States Rights
Seccssionists to Office in Mississippi by Pre-
sidcnt Pierce. He says:
But it is said that President Pierce re-
cognizes ire-caters as Democrats and gives
them office. Let US see the reasons which
operate on the President in making these
appointments. Frank Pierce is man of
great ability. he has seen how the States
Rights leaders of Mississippi have done all
sorts of twisting and turning to get into
power. On the other hand, he has observed
that Union Democrats stand firmly upon
the platform of the Constitution and laws.
Now, the President feels bound to distribute
offices in such manner a. will keep his party
united-and knowing that compromise Dem
ocrats stand BY him upon principle, and
consequently will not bolt, he gives Office TO
State Rights leaders, knowing that they be-
long to that class of men who are held to-
gether by the cohesion of spoils. State
Rights leaders are bound to love the Union
to the amount of their salaries Again: 1t
is very general rule, in all administrations
to give office to those who cannot get any,
thing from the people. All the prominent
appointments in Mississippi have been given
to those who were defeated in 1851 If
there is anything left. I hope President
Pierce will give it to my opponent after 1
defeat him this year.

Having obtained an authentic outline of
the instructions given to Gen. Gadsden. I
find the method of solving all these ques-
tions. as well as of promoting the railroad to
the Pacific. adopted by the administration,
to be as follows:
Gen. Gadsden is instructed to ask for ana
insist upon the grant BY Mexico to the Uni
ted States, of free right Of way for rail
road along the 32d parallel of latitude.
The United States, in return, agree to re-
linquish all claim to Tehuantepec; to give
Mexico certain sum as indemnity for In
dian depredations, and to share with Mexico
the advantages and use of the road. This
arrangement, it is hoped, will practically
annul the 1th article Of the Guadalupe I'll.
dalgo treaty, rendering the keeping up line
OF military posts along the Mexican border
no longer necessary.
Thus our Cabinet hopes to settle the con.
ficting interests respecting a Northern or
Southern route for the Pacific Railway
The South will not find here the northern
for the road that she disiikes. and
on the other hand. the anti-slavery men can
find comfort in the fact that most part Of this
road will lay through free territory. Mexico.
our Cabinet hopes, will find in The advan.
tages her northern States will reap from this
road, and in the prospect Of speedy grant
OF indemnity money for Indian depredations,
motives powerful enough to induce her to
accept the proposal held out to her.
