"War on the East has indeed commenced in earnest

The Danvile region seems BESIDES to desire all the

1t was supposed as the Speaker selected from that
section that the next highest honor that of chairman
the Judiciary Committee, would be conferred On some
Eastern man such has heretofore been the case but

man. Mr.. Simpson, of Rockingham, the colleague o
the Speaker, is chairman of two important Committees
Mr.. Williams, of Caswel, of another Mr.. Scales, o
Aamance of another and Mr. Fries, of Forsyth ofsti
another.
Thus has the craftsmanship of majority of the commit

Congressional District of Maine, we have a
platform on which the Democracy of every
State in the Union without regard to lati-

Maine Argus, two of the series, which We're
unanimously adopted by the convention.
ResoI0ed, That the Democratic party is a
party of progress, graspiug new principles OF
governmental policy, such as the necessity
Of the times and the public exigency may
require, only to settle them for the common
good of the whole country, and then march

holding strictly to the doctrine Of Popular
and State rights, and that "tke powers not
delegated to the United States By the Coastis
tuition, nor prohibited By 1t to the States, are
reserved to the States respectively, or to the
people.
Resolved, that wherever new Territories
shall apply for admission into our glorious
Union, with constitution republican in
form, such as the people thereof desire, Uith
a population sufficient IN number to entute
them to one Representative IN Congress, they
shall be admitted on equal terms s0ih the

BURIAL CASKET.

,gNHE subscribers have become the owners
4 Of the right of this newly invented
g Burial CdSket," for the county of Yazoo.
The Casket is fashioned to accord with the
feelings of the bereaved, aud yet retains all
the requisites of an appropriate receptacle for
the dead
Whatever tends TO soften or make less keen
the poignancy of our grief, commends itself
to our consideration. So much that is repnl-
sive has been discarded in the arrangement and
shape of the above case, that its name, the
''Casket Burial Case.' is an involuntary sug-
ges,ion. We do not hesitate to aver that
there has never been in use anything so entire
ly chaste, appropriate, and withal, so cunve-
llient as this invention.
The Casket is perfectly air-tght, composed
OF metal, and will last for ages.
0-s- We have now supply of the Casket
on hand, and respectfully invite our friends to
call and examine them.
