Sound Resolutions.

So warmly do we approve the resolution
adopted by primary meeting of the Demo
cratic voters of Beat No. S, Choctaw Agency
Oktibbeha county, that we cannot resist tn
desire to insert them in our columns. They
are fully up to the highest point of orthodoxy
upon the issues which involve the true inter
ests of the South and point out her only
path of safety:
ResolUed, That the Federal Union is a U nior
of Independent Sovereignties for mutual bene
fit and based ON the Constitution, and wheT
these benefits cease to be mutual and the Con.
stitution is violated, the compact is virtually
reseinded, and the Union cannot be maintained
ResolUed. That the pacific policy of compro-
missing on the part Of the South has proved to be
abortive, and stern resistance to any future ag-
gression is duty and a necessity.
RESOLVED, That upon the election Of an
Abolitionist to the Presidency, it will be the
duty of the State of Mississippi to recall her
Senators and Representatives from Congress
and to annul and reject the Federal Govern
ment
ResolUed, That it is our duty to cultivate
harmony among ourselves, discourage political
excitement, encourage home manufactures and
agricultural improvements.
ResolUed, That we endorse the course ot
our late Representative in the State Legisla-
ture, Hon. VIM. II. Merinar, and he is our
first choice for denomination.
Mr.. Jones offered the following resolution
which after some investigation as well as de.
liberation, was received and adopted.
ResolUed, That we are in favor of repeal
ing all State and Federal laws respecting the
African slave trade

The Virginia Ultimatum.


. The Richmond Enquirer in response 70 an
interogatory of cotemporary, thus explicit.
ly defines the ultimGtum Of the Virginia De-
mocracy in the Charleston Convention:
But We do not hesitate to assure the Re-
publican that in case the Charleston Conven-
ton shall reject" the doctrine of the power
and duty of the general government and Of
each and every department thereof in case Of
need, to employ its proper functions for the
protection Of persons and property IN the ter
ritories, if the Charleston Convention shall
thus authorise the platform to be interpreted
according to the doctrine of the Lynchburg
Republican, which doctrine the Iii Thayer
wing Of the black republican party has already
acceded to and endorsed as the best andmosI
practical means of excluding slave property
from the terrtories-in such case, we say, We
regard it as much more than probable that the
conservative democracy, not only Of Virginia
but of the South, and Of the. whole Union
will refuse to vote for the nominee Of ths

REMOVAL OF GRAND LODGE OF /. o. O. F.
At the last session of the Grand Lodge of 1.

meetings Of this body in jackson. Many
reasons were given for this change, and we do
not know but It was the wisest and best for
the Order. It viii go hard with our Jackson
brethren, however, to surpass those Of Vicks-
burg in jealous attention to the wants and in
terests of visiting brethren. Every conven-
ience that could be suggested was prepared for
the reception Of the Order in Vicksburg
Il was from no want of love for the breth-
rem in V;cksburg that the removal was deter
termined upon. Every odd Fellow who has
visited Vicksburg bears cheerful testimony to
the high and manly characterof its citizens
But Jackson wasconsidered to possess advan-
tages of position and location above the City
inc to the Order, and these advantages were
deemed sufficient to justify the removal

ogy of this corrected speech of Mr. Thomp-
son. In the overthrow of the great North.
ern prophet he permits others to share in the
CORY. He counts on the aid of the Presi-
dent or the people of North Carolina weknow
not which, perhaps both, as he says 'ioe will
discard this theory with contempt" but when
the 'other restless reEormers" in the South
are to be impaled, VIII n the people of his own
State are to be punished for demanding the
repeal of unconstitutional laws, deleterious to
their welfare, he desires no divided honors.-
"You may run up the stars and stripes, / will
rally under that flag" "Veni vidf nice"
He goes still further, and expresses the
opinion that when you, the people of North
Carolina, see that II have rallied under that
Tag" you will not dare oppose me.
Wonderful and renowned warrior! From
Joshua, tho first great Captain. down TO ths
present Emperor of France all, all pale be.
fore your bright splepdor
But let us see how long Mr.. Thompson has
had this sacred regard for unconstitutional
laws or for this glorious Union ?" Was it
in the days of McNutt when he wrote the
first article denouncing the Union Bank
Charter unconstitutional and not binding on
the people, and hence they had the right to re-
pudiate the debtor was it in 185O-51 when
he belonged to the State Rights party of Mis-
sissippi and declared the compromise bills un-
constitutional and not binding on the people
Of the South?
"a mighty change has come over.the spirit
of his dreams"
We supposed Mr.. Thompson would have
learned wisdom from experience. Already
has he had more than one manifestation that
the people of Mississippi were not alarmed at
his displeasure, and he will learn still further.
that alone or when backed by the President
and the sleepy subjects of old Rip Van VIM
kle in the bargain, they will still dare do what
they think right, and laugh at his vain boast
ings and gasconade.
As these two pugnacious and bellicose Of
hcials, no doubt, desire ''foemen worthy their
steel" why do they not war upon each other?
In that event we apprehend, no peace Con-
gress will be called.
Both have much to learn. They should
think of the oaks rebound. The day may
come when they will be compelled to ''doff
that lions hide and hang calf skin on their
recreant limbs" JIJNIUS

San Domingo has been eminentiy successful.
A naval and coal depot in the Bay of SANTANA,
which is one of the finest harbors in the Car
ibbean sea, will be ceded to us, with many val
liable privileges. 1t will be remembered that
Gen. Cazneau made treaty with the govern
ment of San Domingo, ceding similar privile-
ges to as, during the Pierce Administration !;
but through the interference and threats of the
English and French ministers at San Domin-
90, President Santa Anna was compelled to re-
fuse ratification of said treaty. Gen. Caz~
neau now has clear field to operate in, as
we perceive by recent advices from San Do
mngo that all the consuls and representatives
of Foreign powers, with the exception of those
of the United States, have taken offence of
some act of the government Of Santa Anna, and
left the island. The result of Gen. Cazneau's
mission will no doubt prove satisfactory to
the Administration and to the whole country.

Extensive Arrival of Blacks from Can.
ada, en- route for the South.

"On Thursday morning." says the Cleve-
land (Ohio) Democrat, 'the packet Union ar
rived from Port Stanley, Canada, with sixteen
fugitive slaves, who had escaped from the
South at various periods within the last two
years, and who had been living at the negro
settlement of Chatham, Canada West Be-
coming weary of Canadian freedom-which to
many blacks embraces the exalted liberty of
going inadequately clothed. and of being near
ly starved to death-they were about to return
to the South, preferring plantation life to the
responsibilities attendant on state of exis-
tence for which circumstances have rendered
them peculiarly disqualified. One family, con-
sisting of colored man, his mother, wife, and
three children, who escaped from near Paris,
Kentucky, about one year ago, after the ex-
perience afforded by hard Canadian winter,
began to sigh for their old Kentucky home'
and a short time ago they wrote to their mas
ter, informing him of their desire to return,
and requesting him to meet them at Cleve-
land. When they arrived on the old packet
their master was there to meet them, and they
expressed their qualification at the meeting in
a manner which denoted sincere regard for
him. old Aunty'-a venerable negress whose
black and shining face stood out in strange
contrast with her hair, white as the driven
snow-took occasion to ''spress her mind in
regard to Canada. Dey kin all talk about dar
freedom over dar,' (pointing with canebrake
finger across the blue water in the direction
marked by the Unions wake,) but I'd
heep leveyer stay with we dem down in Old
Kentuck.' The entire party took the train for
Cincinnati, happy in the thought that they
were going home"
SUNDAY YMAILs.-Inquiry having been made
at the General Post Office department whether
those who are conscientiously opposed to the
transmission of letters on Sunday, could have
their wishes respected in this matter by di-
recting that their letters should not be for
warded on that day, the following communi.
cation has been published on the subject:
PosT OFFICE DEPARTMENT., !
APPRAIsEMENT OFFICE, June2 ~, 1869.
SIR: In answer to your note of the 28th
instant have to inform you that if a letter is
placed in the post Office with the direction up
on it to Lie over on the Sabbath the post
master at the mailing Office would no doubt
respect such direction but the letter being
once posted under enveloped to its address,
would not again be seen until it arrived at its
destination, (except when obliged to pass
througha distribution ofice,) and of course
any such direction would be of no avail. At
distribution offices, where the mails have to be
handled generally with great despatch, it is
very doubtful whether such direction would
be regarded, although if not overlooked it
would be proper for the postmaster to obey it.
