WHAT ARE CoNsoLs ?-Many of our readers
have. doubtless, on reading the foreign news and
noticing the quotations for Consols, asked, what
are Consols? They are three per cent. Eng.
Iish stock, which had its origin in an act of the
British Parliament, consolidating (hence the
name) several separate Government stocks, call
ed in the act " Consolidated Anuuites," and
commonly quoted as Consols." This stock.
from its amount and the immense number of its
holders, is more sensitive to financial influences
than any other. and is, thereE re, the stock for
the operation of spectators and jobhers. Its
dividends are payable semi-annually

The Nebraska Question.

The bill introduced into the Senate by che
Hon. Stephen A. Douglas. having relation %
the organization &C the Nebraska and Kansas
Territories, has afforded theme for much dis
lcussion. Some Of the ahlest men of the land
have spoken upon its merits; the presses Of the
different States have made il the subject OF
lengthy editorials. Mass meetings have been
convened, that the public voice might be heard,
either In condemnation, or approval of the
measure. Some men, whose hearts go not out
hepond themsel lves--whose actioni are iufluenc-
ed more by the spoils of Office, than the impul-
ses of patriotism, have aimed. by exciting ap-
Peals, to stir up again that spirit of fanalicism
which the compromise measures of so caused
so efectnally to dieaway. Their exertions have
so far failed. The greater portion of the presses
of both sections of the confedracy have given
the principles of the Douglas bill cordial sup
port. The author of the measure has been no.
bly, sustained by the Legislature OF his own
State. The great body OF the people of ever
State sustain him, 1t is becoming sentimen
of universal adoption that the question Of sla-
uery does not come within the province of ma
tional legislation, but is solely matter of Ter
ritorial or State regulation. If this sentiment
continues to prevail, one great element of ma
tional discord will be removed. The general
and State governments will be held in their ap-
propriate spheres, each receiving aud affording
common advantage. And then with common
pride in the glorious memories of the past and
the hopes Of the future, we may anticipate for
our country more glorious destiny than she
has yet attained.

c. The President has transmitted message
to Congress respecting the outrage committed
BY ;he officials of the island of Cuba upon the
Mail Steamer Black Warrior Its tone accord
ed with what we have always conceived to be
the character of the man; it demands redress
for past wrongs, and proper guarantee against
occurrences of like character, hereafter. We
trust that the action of the government will be
such as to teach the authorities of the island
that though as nation, we are possessed of
spilit of magnanimiy and forbearance. still,
there is point Ley ond which, insult be-
comes intolerabe and must be resented. For
years has our government been the recipient of
natl, nal insults, from this source. and because
Of the weakness of the power inf1icting the
wrong they have been suffered to pass by unre-
dressed, until emboldened by her former con-
duct, she proceeds to the perpetration of the
present outrage. Surely. the end of patience
cannot be far off we should make up our minds
and prepare al once to meet the inevitable event
and its conseq equences.
The message will be found in another column
of to-days paper.

John Mitchell.

This gallant man, whose influence, power nor
gold could purchase, is now citizen OF our re-
public With view of earning an honorable
livelihood, he has commenced the issue of pa
per, styled s'The Citizen." With talents of
more than an ordinary character, with heart
throbbing always with the impulses of genu-
inc patriotism possessing nerve before which
every obstacle, not insurmounta table, must fade
away, the impress of his great mind will be felt
IN the mighty emporium he has made his
home. In commendation of his gallant conduct
in his own Emerald Isle, as well as the indepen-
dence of spirit that have here marked the pro-
ductions of his pen, many have come forward
to swell the subscription list of his paper Yazoo
City, where so many of his own countrymen re-
side, is manifesting willingness to contribute
to his aid; every where is this same disposition
evinced, and we trust that for his noble advoca-
CT of the institution of slavery aud the rights OF
the South, under the constitution, southern men
will do all within their power to place "The
Citizen" upon an immuyabIe basis.

O. The editor of the Vicksburg Thig, in
his issue of the 2lst, seems to be much troubled
respecting some information impaired to one
one of our southern papers, by certain Wash
ington letter writer-ths knowing one of the
capitol has managed to discover the alarming
fact that the President exercises unlawfully, a
controlling influence over the representatives of
the lower branch OF the National legislature, and
that there is reason to fear that if such state Of
things continue, by and by, he will exercise over
the land sway more despotic, than that as
svmel by the Car Of Russia over his down trod-
den serfs. Is it indeed true that the course of
Franklin Pierce is so free from objection. that 30
diminutive matter, must be magnifed into a
mountain, to excite the apprehensions of the
people? Do not be alarmed Mr.. Wig! Ytur
fears are entirely groundless. The :. Union" un-I
der the control OF its present proprietor, possess
ing also the favor of the Executive. will contin-
ne to be the organ of the national democracy,
and the country generally. will not suffer mate
rial injury thereby. If Jph. Gales. instead of A.
o. r. Nicholson. had been the successful appli-
cant, would the editor Of the Wing have BEEN
so sensitive upon the subject!
