lutions Of the Democrats of Jackson county
Mississippi.
political organization, styled the Know Nothing
party, the propr,ety of giving the preference for
Office and public places to native Americans of
equal qualifications and capacity over foreign
born citizens; and claim the principle as our
own and democratic.
Res0lred, That to the States, exclusively, be-
longs the right of regulating the qualifications
iofelectors, and any attempt on the part of the
federal government to interfere therein, or with
the right of suffrage, would be manifest un-
surpation of apower not granted to it, and q
palpable violation of the constitution.
Resotued, That we regard secret organizations
for the purpose of accomplishing political re-
suits, and objects, as opposed to the genius and
unjustly and tyrancally upon iudili .uals,an to
endanger the jeopar die the permanence ofour
republican principles of government
ResolUed, That while holding to this opinion,
We would yet not object to any extension Of
the term of residence required to enttle for
eigner to the rights of citizenship, by the natu-
ralzation laws how in force, to long term;
with a view OF testing the efficacy of such ex
tension, ofwhich large portion Of countrymen
complain it may be justly. q
| Reso'ued, That we are utterly opposed TO all
effort to connect religion and politics; and per-
ceive in srch effort, if successful, only the ac-
! complishment of the baneful result cf the ulti-
mate destruction of the American policy, which
is total separation of s.relgious concerns from
all State and Governmental interference aud
control, and the adoption of the corrupt Europe
an dogmas upon the subject; as well as the de-
/ feat of the annexation of Cuba, aquestior J, we
consider. now becoming daily of more and more
4 primary and important consequence to the
southern portion Of his confederacy.
q Resofred, That the spectacle presented in the
Island of Cuba, almost in sight of the shores of
our land of liberty, Of q whole people oppressed
and dowu-troddsn under the heel Of the ep-
pressor, is monstrous and unnatural anomaly,
invoking in tones which touch all that is qener.
7 Gus within us, the sympathy of the Afnerisan
+, heart and the aid of the American arm.
7 Reso'ued, That the insolent acts of Spanish
: officials, of imprisoning and executing persons
claiming to be American citizens and of Span
> ish naval officers in firing into, and exercising
: the right of search, upon American vessels or
the high seas, ought to meet with condgn and
:, immediate punishment at the hands of our fede

LEARNING AND LABoR.-As- Boswell
the great biographer, and DIR. johnson,
were descending the Thames in boat
to Greenwich, the conversation turned
on the benefits of learning, which DR..
johnson maintained to be of use to all
men. " And yet," said Boswell. people
90 throug the world very well, and carry
on the business of life to advantage
without learning" Why, sir" repli-
ed johnson, that may be true in cases
where learning cannot be of any use !;
for instance this boy rows as well with
out learning as if he could sing the song
of Orpheus to the Argonauts, who were
the first sailors He then called to
the boy" What would you give my
lad, to know about the Argonauts ?''
ls Sir,n replied the boy, I" I qoo,tla gi0e
all kaus.n DIR. johnson was much
pleased with this answer, and. turning
to Boswell, said" Sir, a desire for
knowledge is the naural feeling of man
kind, and every human being whose
mind is not debauched, will be willing
to give all he has to get knowledge"

CAUSE OF CHANGES IN CLIMATE.


History informs us that many Of the
countries of Europe, which now possess
very mild winters, at one time expert
enced severe cold at this season Of the
year. The Tiber, at Rome, was frozen
over, and snow at one time lay forty
days in that city. The Euxine sea was
frozen over every winter; duri ng the
time of {, Ovid, and the rivers Rhine
and Rhone used to be frozen so deep
that the ice sustained loaded wagons.
The water of the Tiber, Rhine and
Rhone, now flow freely every winter !;
ice is unknown in Rome, and the waves
of the Exuine dash their wintry foam
unerystalized upon the rocks. -;..--.
Some have ascribed these climate
changes to agriculture, the cutting down
of dense forests, the exposure of the up
turned soil to the summer sun, and the
draining of great marshes, We do not
believe that such great changes could
have been produced in the climate of any
country by agriculture, and we are GER
tain no such theory can account for the
contrary change of climate-from warm
to cold Winters-which history tells us
has taken place in other countries than
those named. Greenland received its
name from the emerald herbage that
clothed its valleys and mountains, and
its eastern coast, which is now inaecessi-
bic on account of the perpetual ice heap
ed upon its shores, was in the eleventh
century, tho seat of Scandinavian colo
nies, all trace of which is now lost
Cold Labrador WAS named Vinland by
the Mortimer who visited it in the year
l 600, and who were so charmed with its
then mild climate The cause of these
changes is an important inquiry.
A pamphlet by john Murray, civil
engineer has recently been published in
London, in which he endeaYors to ac-
connt for these great changes of climate
by the changable position of the mag
netic poles. The magnetic variation or
declination of the needle is well known.
At the present time it amounts, in Lon
don, to about twenty-three degrees west
of north, while in 1869 the line of vari-
alton passed through England, and then
moved gradual lysWest until 1916. In
that year q great removal of ice took
place on. the coast of Greenland; hence
it is inferred thst the cold meridian,
which now supposed to pass through
Canada and Siberia, may at one time
have passed through Italy, and that if
the magnetic meridian retnrns, as it is
now doing, to its old lines in Europe,
Rome may once more see her Tiber fro
zen over, and the merry Rhirelander
drive his team on the ice of the classic
river r-et --- y73la-s sss.S- -
Whether the changes of climate men
toned have been caused by the change
of the magnetic meridian or not, we
have too few facts before us, at present
to decide conclusively but the idea
once spread abroad, will no doubt re-
move every obscurity and settle the
question.

INDIGNATION MEETING OF THE
-. HORSES

There was ga large and respectable -
meeting of the Livery Horses of Mt.
Vernon, on Saturday last, to take ac-
tion in regard to the Staying season, so
injurious to horse flesh. Crouse's Tom
was unanimously chosen to preside, and
upon being in stalled in the chair, spoke
as follows: s..s s7ia-., g--.r4,T5 TH
Horses these are times to try our

and not only this, but fast young mem

go to the land where all good horses
go. --...

was heard all round. The chairman
continued: E

US all pull together, and stand up
TO the rack; fodder or no fodder and
we will soon bring the two-legged dom
keys to terms"
A victorious shout, such as horses
only know how to give, followed the de-
livery of this speech. A committee,
consisting of Benefits Jim, Taylor's
Dick and Crouse's Bill, was then ap-
pointed to DRAUGHT resolutions, ex-
pressive of the sense of the meeting
The committee retired for half an hour
for consultation, when they returned
and reported the following: ssr
ReSoL1ed, That we will KICK agrinst
every attempt to drive US to death.
ResolUea, That when driven at fas-
ter gait than 1 o miles an hour, we will

contents. - 90. 1876 lH.a14f

be slayed to death. n. .-r
After the resolutions were read flley-
clustering spirit began to manifest it
self; but the chairman put a check to it
at once. The resolutions were then a.
dopted unanimously-not single neigh
was uttered against them after which the
horses trotted home. i
