A NEW PHASE or HE WEArHEa.-The
venerable Johannes Boreas, Esq, having per-
fected his wind arrangements, has PROCEEDED
to put them into immediate practice, by saw
ing up during the week. and letting rs have
il stiff and strong on Sunday night and Mon
days, For three weeks past, John has been
playing this game, and we almost begin to
count Monday an extraordinary cold day, de-
spite whatever the Almanac may say to the
contrary. It is about time a stop were put to
these little ebulitious Of fun on the part of
Mr. Boreas. We can safely swear upon a
meeting house that for three Mondays past
not a dear crinoline dared show her pretty

The Work GOES QE.-There was a rumor
in town on Saturday that one hundred and
fifty Africans, just imported. had gone up
Pearl River. We also hear of an offer to
land negroes on any part Of the Mississippi
Coast. This importation is hardly fair; let
Mississippi pass Hushes's bill. and Louisi-
ana pass TayIor's bill, SO that rich and poor
will have an equal chance to procure labor.
Delta Of Tuesday.
The Della appears e~xtravagantly rampant
Iii favor Of importing Africans into the count
~, in spite of every reason that can be urged
againstit. There is one question we would
like to have answered in connection with the
Importations Of these Africans. and that is,
can our slave owners manage them? It is
easy enough to control our own negroes and
nearly every owner of slaves can do as they
please with them, but a number of wild.
savage negroes from Africa, landed here, not
able to understand our language nor we
theirs, would be a harder task to manage and
control than our slave holders would like to
be troubled with. Our contemporary should
give his readers q description of the aanage-
ment of these negroes when landed in Cuba.
in all its details-how many expire under the
lash to compel them to work-how many
voluntarily commit suicide-how many in
surrections they create to regain their free
dom, and finally, how many are the proprie-
tors Of plantations there compelled to pur-
chase annually to keep up a laboring force.
Gives us both sides of the subject.

The Southern Rights Party.

" y -
T. Our ]cotemporary Of the plaquemine Ga
zette and Sentinel in an article Of Saturday
lastdefning the political position Of the COM
bined papers, gives utterance to the following
sentiment which embodies much Of general
interest:
Again, when the subject was considered in
a political view, no well founded objection
| could be urged to a nnion. Both journals
were conse rvative-both sanctioned the course
OF the great National States Rights De'noc-
racy-both believed in the right Of the SEX
erai States to govern themselves: and de Tied
the power ofany State or States, ard Of the
General Government itself, to interfere with
the DOMESTIC concerns Of any state-both
were equally supporters of the Administra-
ton Of our philosophical and wise Chief
Masistrate-both journals, too, looked we'll
10 the loving law ana order men ct the whole
country for the support Of that Constitution
which is the great fountain Of all OF our
blessings, -, .-'
In the present condition of political affairs
in this great con1ederacy of States. it is some
what difficult to unravel or properly define
the lines Of party principle: 4 great deal
has been said about a Southern Rights Party
"a States Rights Party, and a National Dem
ocratic Party. A national party we can cas-

in worse than Cimuerian darkness, that we
are compelled to solicit The assistance Of our
cotemporary's political telescope to enable
lis to learn and know something Of its objects

doubtless there are many more like us-to
have this political enigma solved. Y hat is
this much talked Of Southern Rights party,
and what miracle toes it intend to perform ?
