State Policy--Sag-Nichtism

The subject of State policy is one in
which the people are, at present, more
immediately interested than in national
politics. We desire to submit few facts
for their consideration, and hope what We
say will not be disregarded. They should
examine the subject with a view to Grad
icate the evil, if any exists, and not
throw themselves into the traces Of any
party, no matter by what alluring name it
may be called, that does not advocate such
measures as tend to develop the resources
of the State and conduce to the general
welfare of her citizens
1t is well known fact that there is now
a debt of about four millions of dollars
hanging over our State, dampening the
energies of her citizens, diverting immi-
grafton from her borders, retarding her
march in the race of improvement now
going on in every State in the Union.-
We have received munifcent donations
from every Congress, by judicious appli-
cation of which, this incubus upon the
body polite might have been removed
But has this been done? Alas no On
the contrary these donations have been
squandered-thrown away, or rather, CIR
en away, to few individuals. Had the
Swamp Lands been properly managed and
properly applied, they would have paid
our State debt and left large surplus in
the treasury surplus that would have
enabled the legislature to relieve the peo-
pie of the onerous burden of taxation
which is now imposed upon them, and
which alike cramps we'll nigh to death the
energies of the farmer, the mechanic and
the tradesman. Again, the subject of
internal improvement is an ALA bsorbing
one, and has elected the attention
of every State in the Union, and has re-
ceiyed State aid from almost every State
save Arkansas. 1t is idle to say in this
age of improvement and progress, State
can keep pace with her sister States, un-
less she encourages aud gives pecuniary
aid to judicious system of internal i'm
provements Without Railroads now-a-
days we might as well be on the Sierra
Nevada, or in the Great Desert. Gov.
Conway, however, don't think So He
says ''dirt roads" are good enough for the
people of Arkansas. Will the people
think so with him? We opine not We
have more confidence in their judgment
and patriotism. Their eyes have been
opened to a true estimate of the existing
state of things and we believe, they will
no longer support men for Office who seek
their own aggrandizement alone, even
though it be at the expense of the public
welfare.
But the cry of ''party" is raised. Yes,
and the cry of party has plunged the
State in debt, almost irretrievably. 1t has
placed in Office weak and imbecile men,
who have made our State by-word and
a laughing stock 1t has made Governors
of boobies and Senators of bullies. 1t
has made Legislators of block-heads and
plant tools, Congressman of third rate
lawyers, and leaders generally of the YER
lest demagogues on the globe

Justice to Fuller, the American.

The editor of the Grenada, Miss. News.
in bis last issue, with an independence and
love Of truth that should be initiated by all
OF his Sag Nicht brethren, publishes the
following paragraph:
Justice TO AN ENEMY-Ne have seen
it stated in the papers that Mr. Fuller, the
late American candidate for Speaker, wrote
a letter stating that he was 'Wilmot pro-
viso man up to the hub He denounces the
letter as base forgery, and contradicts
other similar charges which have been made
against him We have mislaid his denun-
citation of these SANDERS or we would publish
them. The Democracy are not without the
base IN their ranks; and, in our very hum
bic sphere, we do Mr.. Fuller justice a
plague on political scoundrels 20
Mr. Fuller's deuunciation of the forg ed
letter published on him by Geo. W. Jones
of this State, has now been before The coun-
try two or three weeks The Memphis
Appeal pnblished that forged letter several
weeks ago, and 'harped upon it extensively;
and yet to this good day it has never done
Mr.. Fuller justice by publishing his denun-
ciation, Neither, We believe, mas the Bul-
letin set as readers right on this subject
We call upon both these papers. if they have
particle of fair play left, to do Mr. Fuller
justice He is the Congressiona! organ of
the American party He is also high
toned, honorable, patriotic gentleman. and
has right to demand of the journals of the
South. at least, FAIR PLAY
Hem. Eag. G- Eng,
We know of an opposition press no; a
thousand miles from Washington. which
imputed great credit to us for having done
justice TO one of their candidates. Wonder
whether we will have an opportunity to re-
ciprocate the compliment? Lets see.

Papal Principles.

The Universe, the leading Roman Cath
olic journal of France, and, indeed, OF
Europe, lays down, on the Sd of April,
the following axioms:
Railroads are not progress;
"Telegraphs are not an analogous IN
vention;
'The freedom of industry is not pro-
gress;
ssThe invention of gunpowder is not a
progress;
.iMachines derange all agricultural Ia
Dor;
Industrial discoveries are sign of
debasement and not of grandeur"
We like these broad statements. There
can surely be no mistake as to their In
tent, no overshadowing and mystical mean
ings in such sharp, curt axloms Now
the people know what is the orthodox Ro-
man doctrine as regards human improve
ment. It is the middle ages versus the
present, and they can choose between the
philosophy and achievement OF these two
eraS-

Americans are Cowards and Sons Of
COWards.

This taunting expression was said to
have appeared in the Boston Pilot some
months since. The fact having been de-
MED, the Boston Patriot furnishes the ev-
idence and gives the entire paragraph as
follows:
'If the party of burglars so rampant
in the city OF Penn, and in the city of
Rip Van Winkle, possessed as much brains
collectively, as a Choctaw Senate, when
by their council fire, they could hear that
their existence as nation depended on
the Irish population of this country.
1t Ill becomes an American to taunt
lrishmen on the score of bravery. Ma
tive courage is a commodity that needs
yet to be proved to exist. The flag of
America is not yet seventy years old, and
th.ice the NATIVE sons of America have
deserted it. Therefore, we advise these
COWARDS and SONS OF COWARDS,
to boast moderately. As shop-keepers,
they are excellent; as merchants enter
prising and persevering as usurers, they
have no equals in the world but as sol
diers, every native ought to belong to the
Peace Society l''
This is equal to the abuse of the True
Delta last week against the American par
ty of this city--N O. Creole.

lister as well as any other Cylinder Press. It
requires, to work it, man to turn the fly wheel
and boy to feed the sheets.

differs from the apparatus used in Cylinder Pres
ses generally, being more like that used in the
Power Platen Presses. Two rollers pass over
the form twice to each impression, taking ink for
each sheet
A Press of this description for newspaper and
jobbing, bed "A by 283 inches, with roller mould,
roller stocks, blanket, flying and registering ap-
paratus, &c., complete, will be furnished for $500.

pense, the best mode of carrying out all the details
and he hatters himself be has succeeded in per-
fecting it; and is now manufacturing the Press
