THE VOICE OF MISSISSIPPI.

Comment such facts is unnecessary.
s. THE VOICE OF MISSISSIPPI.
The following Resolutions were recently adopted
by the Senate of mississippi by vote of 20 to Z.
No State in the Union is deeply interested in
slave property than Mississippi; and her voice,
changed by the hypocritical clamor ofcertan South
Whig leaders, is still the side of Gen. Pierce
and his administration:
81. Resozred, (by the legislature of the State Of
Mississippii0 That we cordially approve of the ad-
him firm uphoder of the Union of the States and
fearless defender IF State rights as expounded and
understood by the fathers of the republic.
2. Resolred, That the policy of the President as
exhibited in his message and executive appointments
in discountenancing all further slavery agitation in
and out of Congress, meets our hearty appreciation,
both on account of the consonanceto his known an
tecedents and pledges before his election and because
we believe that the discussion of the exciting qucs-
tions connected Herewith seminentiy dangerous to
the institution ITSELF and destructive of the best in
terests of the country
3. Resolred. That the appointment by the Presi-
dent of Missssippi's favorite son. Colonel Jefferson
Davis, to seat in the cabinet, is just of re-
jocing to the people of thisState. That the Presi
dent in selecting him to preside over the War De-
partment whilst he exhibited patriotic devotion to
the interest of the whole nation in the choice of
possessing such eminent abilities, at the same time
manifested becoming Difference to the voice of the
people of the South in making integral portion of
his administration that hero and statesman, who is
less distinguished for his chivalry the field of
battle, his wisdom in the cabinet his eloquence in
the Senate than for his patriotic devotion 10 the in
terests of every part of our common country"
w The Whig Executive Committee ofNorth Car
olna have issued through the papers another Ad-
Dress calling on the Wings to organize, hold meet
Register, whose Editor appears suddenly to have
walked up to the Importance of the crisis, uters his
mingled hopes and fears in this wise:
'Let us, then have instant action in every Coun-
ty, where meetings have not yet been held called
depends nothing less than the fate of the Whg party
in this State. "
Instant action !"-this, says that journal, will
achieve ga victory that will remind us of the good
old days of yore." We beg the attention of our
readers to the striking fact to wit, that one of the
leading objects of the Wings in the next campaign
according to the Register will be to do something to
"remnd Wings generally "of the good old days
of yore."
This Whig Address is signed by Col Andrew
Joyner, as Chairman-a gentleman who declared Gn
substance) in his place, the floor of the Senate,
the common people should never, if he could pre-
vent it, have the privilege to vote taxes on him or
to vote away his rights landholder! The peo-
pie can see for themselves the auspices under which
! this Whig Convention is to be assembled.
| The HOMESTEAD AGAIN. 1t seems that we cannot
| induce the Editor of the Standard " to face the
music on this question. Some time since he boldly
took ground against the Homestead; but since the
| Washington Union has come out for it, thereby
indicating the views of the President, have been
unable to extort single sentence from the Stand
| ard Oh the subject Register.
Our position on this question is unchanged. We
opposed to all bills to divide the public lands to
give them away to the States in which they lie, OF
to the people of the States by homestead bills by
whatever name such bills may be called. We are
in favor of the doctrine on this subject announced
in the State and Baltimore platforms, and reiterated
substantially by President Pierce in his first annua
uIcssage
We are not in the habit of misrcpresenting thu
views of the Register ard trust that journal viii
cease to misrepresent We willing to stant
or fall by our principles, and shall hold our CO
temporary to the same test
