Land warrants have risen so rayidly

PLANK RoAps.-We find there are
many persons in favor of the proposed
plank read from Elkton to Fair Hill;
and many enquiries are made respect

something on the subject, from some Of

cost per mile of such road, in this To-

what the expense OF keeping one in or.

The business of telegraphing, and the practi-
cablity of this mode Of communication, is very
much injured, and lessened by the careless indif-
ference Of persons receiving dispatches. How
often IS the messenger boz who delivers the des-
patch and requests reply, answered, e il don't
need any answer or, q viii call up and an
swer it." uhenit is forgotten and remains unan-
swered This is wrong--an answe. is never re-
quested unless first desired by the person send
ing the despatch. Prepayment is never required
on an answer" Although direct answer is
not asked, it Isl often actually necessary, that the
person sendinig the communication may know
whether his despatch reaches its destination, and
whether his businers viii be attended to. 1t is
not possible for person receiving despatch to
know why the person sending the same may de-
sire an answer. It should be sufficient for him
to know that an answer is requested. We repeat
that answers are never requested by an operator
or messenger, unless they are desired by the per-
sons sending the despatchs. A thing so very inn
portant to the utility and success of the busi-
ness, should be strictly observed

A rumor, says the Union, which though false
in some Of its details, may yet be true in the
main, accusing the French government Of GER
tain hostile designs against the Hawaiian king
dom, has awakened an unusual degree Of inter
est in respect to the Sandwich Islands. The
dispute, which it seems is about to set their
Majesties Kamehameha III and Napoleon III by
the ears is an ancient quarrel Of very compi-
Gated character.
This group of islands were discovered by Cap
tain Cook, IN l775. The geographical situation
ot these islands soon made them of considerable
importance TO navigators, which brought its
heather inhabitants into frequent contact with
civilized society. The natives seemed very ca
silly influenced BY the christians" and in 1920
corps of American missionaries found them
eager to reject their idoatrous and superstitious
system, and adopt the Christian religion. Some
thing more than fifteen years ago, the faith of
the Protestant Christian became the established
religion of the people and the government. In
few years after the Protestant religlon was es-
tablisbed in the islands, company of French
Catholics arrived there and began to teach their
religion with great success. The government
took offence at their inroads on the established
religion of the kingdom, banished the Catholics
and prosecuted their converts. Subsequently,
the system of persecution was abandoned, and
the Catholic missionaries were allowed 10 return
to the islands, but under certain disa Abilities
This brought the French upon their heads, and
compelled them to enter into a treaty, In which
the Catholics were secured the same privileges
enjoyed by the Protestants and also bullied the
government into treaty for the admission OF
French wines and brandies at a very low duty.
Afterwards the English authorities, having taken
courage at the success Of the French, made such
demands upon the King that he abdicated his
authority in utter despair, and surrendered bis
dominions to Queen Victoria. But in lS43 the
dominion of the islands was restored TO theiI
legitimate sovereign, in whose hands it now
rests.
The concessions to the French authorities be
ing forced from them, they have reluctantly anC
imperfectly carried them out. In consequence the
French government has repeatedly manifested
an unfriendly disposition towards the Hawaiian
kingdom and it is not at all improbable tina
the report Of hostile expedition against the is
lands has some foundation in fact. Our govern
ment can never suffer any other power to taka
possession of those islands.

OC5- The Wing Central Committee of this
county have nominated Mr.. Joseph Love as the
wing candidate for the Legislature, in the place
Col. Harris, declined. Mr. Love is a very clever
gentlemen, but we do not believe he will ever
reach Jackson, as a representati7e re from Yazoo.-
Let the Democratic Committee make a good
nomination TO take the place of Mr.. Bowman
on the ticket with Mr.. Barksdale, which we have
no doubt they will do, and, in our opinion, the
whig candidates win neither Of them be troubled
about leaving home next winter. Democrat IS,
you know your opponents; you have the ground
measured-prepare yourselves with another good
candidate, and the field is yours. Last fall you
carried the county, and you can do it again il
you only organize and work The party is daily
gaining ground, which the wings cannot but OBJ
serve, and all that is necessary to secure the ser
vices Of two democrats in the next Legislature.
from this county, is an effort.

COMMUNICATED
what are WING PrlncipIesI

The frequency of this interrogatory would
seem to presnppose that the whig party had, OF
at least ought to have some kind of principles
on which TO base their claims TO nationality OF
character. But, Inasmuch as the question has
never received satisfactory reply, we have un-
doubtedly Legitimate right to view it with some
degree of doubt as suspicious, for whenever by
accident or otherwise. they have gained a tempo
rary assendency. their political polio. and party
measures, have been so palpabIy unPrincipled
ard unjust that the people have on the very first
opportunity nity--repudiaied them with Indignation,
and secuted the party oat Of power Hence the
very common and legitimate impression that the
whig party have no principles. But in reality,
they have numerous and various principles or
rules of actions occasions may require, and the
only apparent reason why the democrats do not
generally understand them, is because they are
not adapted to their party views--yet neverthe-
less they sOhig principles, and their name is
Legion. | will mention but a few however,
merely for the benefit of the indiscriminate and
forgetful. The first in chronological order was
during The revolutionary war. Adhesion TO
monarchy and opposition to democratic and re-
publican principles. Consolidation of the fed
eral government and subjugation of the States
Oppresson of the laboring classes for the benefit
of the aristocracy. Superiority Of swell -hesdism.
Cocks-combism and dandyism over honesty and
industry. Log cabins, Coon-skins, and hard cider
mixed with whiskey. Two dollars day sure
and roast beef for whig votes. In war enmity
towards friends and friendship for enemies "with
bloody hands and hospital graves" Spoils Of
Office with the exclusive benefit of Galphinism,
Gardnerisn, Corwinism, Native -Americanism,
Sewardism, and bullyism, fired with Indignation.
Many more whig principles of similar charac-
ter might be enumerated, but a sufficient num-
ber think has been mentioned, to satisfy future
inquiries. have not commented upon the quail
lty of their principles, but from the foregoing
catalogue it will appear that they consists prin-
clpaily of isms, which taken collectively, would
amount as near as possible to Fag- -Endisms.

HON. ANDREW JOHNSON.

The Hon. Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, who
has distinguished himself by the able manner in
which he has represented his constituents in Con-
gress for number of years. has been nomina
ted by the democracy of Tennessee as their eau
thus speaks of him, which is lesson we'll worth
the study Of our young men
Mr.. Johnson isentireIy a self-made man. EN-.
grating from North Carolina to Tennessee some
twenty-five years ago, a poor journeyman tailor,
without money and without frends-destitute
of the advantages of an educatien-not even
learning TO read and write until after he was mar
ried but yet, by the force of his character and
natural ability, he has overcome all of these dis
advantages, and is now one Of themost able and
prominent men IN Tennessee, although she has
many gifted sons, and we predict will be her next
Governor. His success in life is a beautiful IL
lustration of the admirable workings of our free
for in no other country could one,
situated as MIR Johnson, was, have been.able to
rise to emnence and renown. But in the Uni
ted States the road that leads to fortune is open
to anno hereditary rights and distinctions are
and every one that starts to reach the
goal must rely upon his own resources, and if he
possesses ability he is almost certain to win the
prize which is the object of his ambition. The
youth Of our country should treasure up thisfact
it should be a consolation to them when sur
rounded by adverse circumstances. and operate
as an incentive to exertion. 1t is highly honor
able to the democratic party that its masses are
always prompt to reward by their suffrages for
high official positions those young men who
exhibit marked ability. however lowIy or hum
bic may be their stations in life. Scarcely any
of the eminent democratic statesmen whose
names are now as familiar as household words
commenced their official career under aristocratic
auspices, and they have owed their success to
their own ability and worth, unaidsd by adven-
litious influence.

A Coon ExAMPLE.-The Washington Union
says The Hon. Linn Boyd and I'll. c. Burnett,
Esq, announced themselves candidates for Con-
gress in the first district of Kentucky. The
Wings thought to take advantage of this divis-
ion in the ranks of the Democracy by proposing
candidate of their own. But Messrs. Boyd
and Burnett were not the men to sacrifice the
success of their party to personal ambition
With magnanimity which does them the high
est honor, they retired from the contest, leaving
the party free to pursue such course might
restore its harmony and insure its success. The
following agreement furnishes an example by
which the conduct of all Democrats should be
determined under like circumstances:
Satisfied that the Democratic party are divi-
ded in the pIessnt contest, and both of us being
willing and desirous TO see our party united and
act in harmony, and believing that it is our duty
to take such steps as will secure union and har-
lnony, we have agreed and do hereby decline the
canvass for Congress, and do further pledge our
honor as gentlemen to 60 directly to our homes
from this place, and that we will not, either di-
rectly or indirectly, by ourselves or friends, take
any steps as to the call of convention IN this
district to nominate a candidate for Congress
but we will leave our party and its leaders in
this district to pursue whatever course may seem
best to them in the premises.

0~ Col. 7. Phillips, the democratic nominee
for Congress in the Mobile, Ala, District, de-
ciines the candidacy 1t seems that he accepted
the nomination in the first place, on condition
that Monroe county, which was not represented
In the convention, should ratify the same but
not otherwise. Since that time meetings have
been held ia that county, and the democracy
there, refused to ratify the nomination; conse-
quently Col. P. declines. This is high evidence
of his purity as man, and his honesty as pol
itician; but is right that one county ina large
district should dictate to the other counties who
shall, or shall not be the MANI It is the prae-
tice OF the democratic party--and we might say
a part OF It's creed, to hold conventions, and
there designate who shall become its candidates

Tl,e RaII SIN TROIIfnq.

Gen. Reuben Davis is still reveling in the re-
bellious dance of Chiekasaw. He has enlisted
the sympathies OF bis cd friends, the wings, and
q few of the democrats Of the North. His nu-
rnerous speeches are said to create a great
disposition to drop him. Wherever he can
learn that crowd is expected to assemble, he
pops up and blows his trumpet, sheds few
tears OF disgrace'--crics out s'persecution." Yes
bat says one, "he has regular appointments"
Very web, by examination it will be found that
he has arranged it SO that he meets Gov. Foote,
or Capt. BaIksdale, or somebody else, who can
call out the people. The little cheers that he
excites from the '.immense crowds" grow TO be
big roars by the time they have echoed over the
hundred hills between himself and the disaf1ect-
ed organs.
1t seems that he is now willing to "come
down." provided Barksdae will do the same -
Oh, yes, misery loves company, and SO does the
" slaughtered lamb !" but the democracy are not
quite ready to disgrace" their actions and theil
ticket, for the sake of quieting clustering
lamb" Let the rebellion still rage; let them
defeat the ticket; lei them give the wings the
field, and fill the capital with our opponents
and secure the election of whig to the United
States Senate, and district the State SO as TO Sc
cure five whig Congressmen--but let the true
Democratic party stand as firm as the rock o
ages. 1t is said that experience teaches deal
school,--so Gen. Davis and his followers will
learn.
Once yield to the demands of reckless rene
gade, and the future will be scene of discord
and disorganization. Tickets viii be formed on
ly 10 be torn to atoms by the disaffected-con-
ventions will meet only to be denounced. Fl.
deity will be rewarded by unjust and sIandefouc
attacks, and inglorious defeats. Our voice
is against all such movements. The voice ot
whiggery is heard cheering the rebels, and chuck
ling over their prospects. And their chucklng
will not end in long faces il the democrats tal.
ter, or heed the cries of persecution" from Reu-
ben.
When men dare claim office from republi-
can people, as the rightful heir would claim bis
kingly crown, let the voice of every true heart
be heard in defence Of the peoples rights.
