s@-At our late Convention the press

h@At our late Convention the press OF
the district was in part represented by
DR.. Lacy, of the caddo Gazette, Mr..
McCranie, of the Vernon Jackson Patish)
Times, and Mr.. Levy, of the Natchitoches
Chronicle, who were delegates, and by
Mr.. Taylor, of the Baton Rouge Advocate
who was present as spectator-four as
accomplished Democratic editors as can
be found. They are the antipcdes OF those
whom McCranie himself describes in the
annexed paragraphs 8
The editorial profession, it cannot be denied has
long suffered in reputation and caste, as compared
to other strictly intellectual professions by the indis-
Greatness and sel6shness Of its own members. Like
the calling Of teachers it has grown into disrepute
and is underated in public opinion, simply from the
upstarts and hair.brained individuals who have
tied on to newspapers as block and tackle toraise
themselves into notice, or as trumpet to sound
their own praise on eYerybody's eaass
Such disastrous influence have these welded
against the editorial ffs and so dishonest and for'
rupt do they show themselves in politics, individual
responsibilities and in all the varied relations o.
ofpablic life, that the word editor is regarded as
the synonyme of corruption. and those who bear
the name IS sheep in the SHAMELESS ready to be
Knocked OF to the highest bidder. This is q mel,
Ancholy fact known to the profession everywhere.
lgnomlny and disgrace has been brought upon those
VINO feel and heed the grip of honor from asso.
e'ation with such debased jackas. Would to God
ior the name Of the profession and the general
welfare and healthy vigor Of the world Of mankind
these eye-sores could be taken away at the roots.
We mean nothing personal in what we say; but
are guided By the actuations Of principles alone.
We feel as one who is about to retire from old COM
FADES to whom he can bear NO malice Nor the least
alieeiing; and, hence. speak with the wsamth and
Rsor consequent on sorfowful leAe-taking.
truth is truth to the end Of time, and taesty out.
'aues all the jewels Of earth.

Mississippi Democratic State ConVeR-
ti0n.

The Convention assembled at Jackson OF the 4th
inst, made the following nominations.
For Governor, John J. Pettus, of Kemper. 5sj
For Secretary of State, B. r. Webb, ofPontotoc,
For Auditor Of the Public Accounts, Z. r. Burt,
OF Noxubee.
For State Treasurer, VI. D. Haynes, OF Yazoo
The following resolutions reported by Com
mittee, were unanimously adopted;
RESOLVED, That VIC reannounce as he&basis OF
party action, the platform of principles laid down
by the Democratic party at the National Convention
i'm 1856 and hold that the doctrine OF non-lnter-
yentionn with the institution OF slavery in the
States Territories or District of Columbia does not
nor was it intended to conflict with the assertion OF
tie power of Congress to protect the property OF
the citizens of the several States, who may choose
to settle in the Territories, which are the common
property OF all the States. l#~@
Resoired, That in the language of the Supreme
Court of the United States, that" the right of pro-
pcrty in slaves is distinctly and expressly affirmed
In the Constitution and 'the only power over
Il conferred upon Congress, is the power coupled
with the duty Of guarding and protecting the owners
in their rights" as thus declared.
Resolpsd, That Mississippi will standby her sister
sayeholding States in insisting upon the enforce
ment. by ali the departments Of the Federal Gov
eminent, of their constitutional rights as thus ex-
pounded by the Supreme Court OF the United states.
Resolvsd, That in the event OF the election OF a
Black Republican candidate for the Presidency, by
the sufrages OF one portion OF the Union only, to
rule the whole United States upon the ayowed
purposes of that organization, Mississippi Will re.
gard It as declaration Of hostility, and will hold
herself in readiness separately orin concert to co.
operate with her sister States of the South, in
whatever measure they may deem necessary Tor
the maintenance Of their rights co-equal members
Of the confederacy.
Rssolred, That we feel it incumbent upon the
Democracy of Mississippi again to declare that the
acquisition of Cuba by the United States is com.
+, aercial and political necessity, aud that we Will
hail With pleasure every proper measure that LOOKS
to its accomplishments and further, we can never
consent to its appropriation by any foreign power
Resolved That we endorse, in the main, the pol
lev of the present Administration.
On the second day, the following resolution was
also adopted: Ii
Resolved That this Convention do irecomment
to the various counties of the State to hold primary
meetings and select delegates to assemble aS the
city OF Jackson on the second Monday OF December
1859, to constitute convention of the Democratic
party to select delegates to represent the state
Mississippi in the National Democratic Convention
to assemble in the city Of Charleston, South Caro-
