The New Congress.

Yesterday thesCongress of the United States
re-assembled. Great is the interest which
now centers around the capitol and the doings
and sayings of the Democratic administration
who now fully and fairly take charge of the
great vessel Of State. We feel proud CON
scousness, that President Pierce will be found
firmly and faithfully discharging his duties,
after the manner, of the great fathers of the
party whom he has studied as his acts already
show, to such great advantage. That the
Cabinet will be found prompt to assist him
in carry out his own patriotic views we are
equally certain and that the present congress
may be safely regarded as the great exponent
and defendent os these same principles we al
so feel will be true From Mississippi
we can assure our readers strong defenders oi
the glorious old faith, will be found about this
time looking for their seats in the popular
branch of the National Legislature. An un
broken delegation Of the tried and trusted
proved and faithful, will honor our State, by
the position they will take, and nostate vii
have greater reason to be proud Of her con
gressional delegation than Mississippi. AnC
this is well. Matters of great moment to th'
country, and especially the South will yer,
likely come up for discussion and we wan
men in Congress at this time, who, knowing

that As in al cases of9mraet among pafties
having no common Judge EACH Party has
AN EorAL RIGHT TO JUDGE ron nsEIF, As
WELL OF DISTRACTIONS, as Of the mode and
measures Of REDRESS"
believe that upon a street adherence to
these great principles the stability and per
manence of our glorious and happy Union
depends. know that portion of the wings
among US, have used every art and means in
their power to induce the people TO believe
that these Jeffersonian principles of States
Rights were nothing less than Secession and
Disuaion. In fact States Rights the great
balance check against the encroachment of
federal power has been stigmatized by wings
as a vile heresay upon theory of our Govern
ment, and Mt. Jefferson, the great Republican
patriot, denounced as demagogue and traitor
for demonstrating and insisting upon them.
Thirdly, know that a considerable portion
of the leading wings Of this county, are in fav-
or of that arch traitor and repudiator, II. S.
Foote, for United States Senator, who in 1850,
in the Senate of the United States, came out
stronger, and said more in favor of Secession
than any other man in the country, r. b.
Rhet, not excepted (See Congressional Globe
of 1850, vol. 2l. part LIST. pages 577 to $40.
Same book, page 2s6. Same book, pages $50
and 366.) And this same II. S. Foote, in a
letter of 2lst June last to Messrs Brook and
Botters, had the unblushing effrontery to come
out and say
Phe undue influence of certain unscrupul-
Gus leaders in our midst, the efforts of hrel-
ing press the necessity which is supposed to
exist for making some special provision fol
those unfortunate Secession (dtias State Rights
Wings, who two years ago left their own party
upon aa issue which had been settled against
them and who now ignobly cling to the skirts
of democracy from Low eagerness for spoils
of office, &c"
After this, | conceive no true States Rights
man, who has any respect for himself or the
the principles he eprofesses could sustain Foott
or any one who was the least doubtful as tC
supporting him in any event.
Thus, have briefly given some of my reas
ons for my vote, which [ hope WILDE consid
cred satisfactory-if they are not l canno
help it. can only retain my position with

themselves from their long experience at their

The lessons on elocution are full and explicit

lIEALrn.--As yet we cannot speak as san
guinc Of the health Of our town, as two weeks
since, We hoped would have been the case
though prospects are brightnipg and We are
informed more ofthe absentees are W return
ing. Since our last issue, several cases Of yel-
low fever have occurred, but none that NC
know sl for several days past. Indeed the
cool air and slight frosts we have had within
few days, together with the lateness ofthe sea-
son induce us to hope the epidemic is at length
about to take It's leave. We certainly hope
Amay be so, for our citizens have had wea-

The Administration. A

There is still a determination among the
Wing Journals of the Sounth, to force the
administration to lean most decidedly to Free
Soil, to have remarkable proclivity that way
and to all such we earnestly commend the
following letter from Caleb Gushing, promising
that il the opinion of the Attorney General be
worth anything, and he may he presumed to
know anything Of the matter that there is
proof in this letter, to demolish the whole race
Of upstairs, calumniators, on the subject of
Free Soil and Abolition throughout the South
ern States
Washington, Oct 90, 1853.
Dear Sir | perceive that in seieral counties
Massachusetts Coalition Senatorial tickets have
been formed of associated Democrats and Free
Soiler. My judgment is, that the Democrats
who have participated in this have done worse
than to commit a fatal error. They have
abandoned a principle which is fundamental
To support or vote for Free Soilers of Massa-
chusetts is to give countenanee and power to
persons engaged, avowedly, in the persistent
agitation of she Slavery question, and there
fore hostile, in the EXTREMIST degree, to the de-
termiued tolicy of the Administration. The
President entertains movable convictions on
this point, as | have had occasion to express to
you heretofore and all of US whom he has
called to the public service here most heartily
and zealously sustain his views on the su' iect
as being the only ones consistent with our per-
sonal honors, the success of the Democratic
party, the general welfare of the country, the
integrity OF the Constitution, or the permanen-
cy of this Union. Ii there be any purpose
more fixed than another in the mind of the
President and those with whom he is accustom
ed to consult it is that dangerous element Of
Abolishtionism, under whatever guise or form
it may present itself shall be crushed out so
far as this Administration is concerned
This the President declared in his Inaugural;
this he has declared ever since, at all times
and in all places, when he had an occasion to
speake on the subject. While he does not
assume to judge ofthe hearts of men who pub-
icy avow sound principles, he only need overt
acts to show where they are, in order tn at bis
