there would be a whig opposition to the Ad-

Mr.. Gideon Is. Smith, of Baltimore, announ-
ces that the Locusts, this year will appear
in the State Of Mississippi, and will occupy
tie whole western portion OF the State, from
the Mississippi river eastward to the ridge of
land that divides the State, running north
and SOUTH averaging about forty-Gve miles
from the river; they will extend north and
south to the boundaries Of the State, and will
most probably extend northwardly into a
small portion Of southwestern Tennessee
They will also appear in Il portion of the
southeast section OF Louisiana, particularly
in the parishes of East and West Feliclana.
They will no doubt extend into other parishes
adjoining. They will not extend cast Of the
ridge in Mississippi; they will appear there
(east Of the ridge in 1859, in connexion with
other large districts in Alabama, Georgia,
&c. These locusts belong to the Southern
trite of thirteen years Locusts. and their ad-
vent is just as regular and precise to the year
and to the day as is that Of their northern
brethren. 10 Mississippi they begin to leave
the ground about the first of May, and in
Louisiana Cast and West Felinciana) few
days earlier say 2j,h to 18th April.

on the subject of the neutrality laws. After
modestly abiding to the embarrassment ma
turally felt by one who for the first time ad-
dressed legislative assembly, he ranged
himself on the side of law and order, and
expressed his surprise at finding the Admin
istration assailed by its friends. He deemed
that the Government was but discharging its
duty, under the law of nations, in putting
down the marauding spirit now so prevalent.
w hatever might be though of Walkers bra
very and energy, Mr. e. could perceive no
difference between his case and that OF Aaron
Burr, except, perhaps, in the matter OF citi-
zenship; yet the name OF Burr had been
handed down as Infamous. Mr.. G. defended
the course of Com. Pauldng, and comph-
meuted the Navy. He was against all varie-
ties of private war, no matter under what
prctext. When the proper time arrived, the
United States could propagate free principles
by Legitimate means.
We are pleased to see the son of Henry
Clay, however much we may regret his pre-
sent party associations, advocating, on this
occasion, the doctrines and principles which
We are quite sure would command the apprC-
baton Of his honored father.

The butcher, knowing it not to be his

the ten himself.

the bill in payment to the store keeper,
