HoUsToE, JAM 5th, 1853.
EDITOR SOUTHERN ARGUS The name of Hon. H.
S. Bennett, but little whilom citizen of Chickasaw,
has been proposed as a candidate for governor-by a
correspondent of the Southern Standard and endorsed
by that sterling Journal. Should we not also give our
cordial recommendation to the gentleman of "high-
born heart'-the sound lawyer-the excellent Judge
the pure, disinterested, firm, patriotic politician Duty
requires it-and friendship halls the mandate of duty
with something more than pleasure. He is now a
farmer but the solitude of the avocaon never super
induces Indifference for his country's welfare. He
rather looks from retirement upon public affairs with
a clearer vision Of the right and more frowning in
dignaton of the wrong. The people of Mississippi
might we'll be proud of him their executive head
as they cherish his name as a citizen.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

"Sir-Some months ago Mr.. Kerr was instructed
to request that you should be recalled and some other
person appointed representative from Nicaragua to
this Government.
A dispatch was yesterday received from Mr.. Kerr
transmitting copy Of letter to him from Senior Cas-
tellon, the Minister for foreign Affairs, who declines
the part of Nicaraguan Government to comply with
the Presidents request and expresses wish that the
reason on which it is founded be given to be submit
ted to the Nicaraguan Chamber.
"This course would be followed by discussions of a
most improbable character and besides the President
cannot consent that any condition be attached to the
compliance of the Nicaraguan government with a re-
quest warranted by the principles of public law and
the practice of civilized States have therefore d.
rected Mr. Kerr to the request foryour call and
the appointment of another minister.
Meantime, have to inform you that no commu-
ncation can be received from you Nicaraguan En-
voy. Personally, regret that it is my duty to ad-
dress you letter of this character.

the Legislature of the State was not in session.
and would not be until the month of May
The debate i'll Mr.. Lanmans case shows that
the question as to his right to the Senatorial seat
claimed by him, mainly turned upon the fact that
his commission as Senator bore date in the month
of February, and had thus emanatcd previous to
the actual happening Of the vacancy, which really
occurred in the month OF March subsequent
Upon this ground, alone, it was decided that Mr..
Lanman was not entitled to the seat claimed by

1T is not competent for the Executive OF the

has not happened. Note.-Such appears to have
been the ground of decision in this case, but nei

We are called by no imperious necessity to wipe a.

and were it, it would lead into too wide discussion
to be embraced in newspaper editorial All the
points he has started have been refuted through our
columns in times past and we have no disposition to
go over the field again. We have given his article
place in our columns in order to let our readers see
what opinions of slavery, and social sysem are
entertained by some Northern men. This is not an
unfair reflex, and while the opinions not held
by ALL it may safely be said that the majority is truly
represented by this writer.
It is bootless to argue with those who are fanacallv
