SENATOR BROWN.

From the Gallatin Mirrors report of the
late speech of the Mississippi Senator at
that place, we extract the following:
The first topic adverted to was Slav-
very in the Territories, and the speaker
proceeded to give the true Southern sen.
timent, which he, with other representa-
tives of the South, has ever entertained.
He did, and still does, ignore the right
of Congress to legislate slavery into, or
exclude it from the Territories, but since
slavery does exist within them, he main
tains that it should receive the protection
from Congress of which it would other
wise be deprived. Supporting and yo-
ting for the principle of mon interven-
ton in the Kansas-Nebraska bill, he as
serted in the same voice, that to the Uni.
ted States Supreme Court was to be re-.
ferred for adjudication all matters of con-
troversy, between the citizens of the
States an the people of the Territories.
The highest judiciary in the lana has de.
cided that slaves possess all of the ele-
ments of property. holding, use and trans
fer, and being property, they can be used
and transported at the masters will; in
the territories, should he choose. When
there it is the duty of the Territorial Leg.
islature to yield the master fair and ade-
quate protection in the enjoyment of his
property, and its failure to act, or "un.
friendly legislation calls for redress at
the hands of Congress. This the South
must insist upon. She cannot stuItify
herself by protesting satisfaction with an
abstract right without remedy, without
a penalty for its infraction. Mr.. Doug
las doctrine is but subterfuge, resort
ing to which, narrow sectionality and pur-
blind fanaticism thinks that it can, with a
greater show of reason and fairness, con-
tinue its warfare upon the South.

RAILROAD BARBECUE.

Some of our public spirited citizens
have been exerting themselves to get up
grand Railroad jubilee here on the 27th
inst. 1t promises to be brilliant affair.
Several speeches will be delivered, and
we hope every one who feels an interest
.in the prosecution of this work, will at
tend. The Railroad must be built -
We are assured by responsible persons
that if the required amount, fifty thou
sand dollars, is subscribed, the iron horse
will visit Okolona by next Fall. But il
the money is not raised--well, we'll have
to live in the woods for time indefinite.
The present good weather affords an op-
portunity that should be seized, and must
be seized, if we are to have the road here
this year. How long will this indiffer-
ence continued
The Wing mentions that two gentle
men of Eutaw have Jointly subscribed
one hundred thousand dollars to the N
Z. Il S. W. Railroad, and it does seem
strange that country like that lying be-
tween Okolona and West Point cannot
afford to appropriate fifty thousand tc
the completion of the NJ. q o.
! No lists for subscriptions to this bar
becue will be circulated among the la
dies; but any delicacies, in the shape 0
pickles, preserves &C., which they ma,
contribute, will be thankfully received.

WHAT ONE GREAT MIND CAN ACCOM-
pLISu.

The "great ones" of the earth have
been Justly designated as such for having
achieved ends and objects unattained by
their fellow men. live trace the rise
and progress Of them we shall see, that
not only has their success been owing to
a new idea or original suggestion, but in
a far greater measure to the systematic
mode of carrying out the projects, and
bringing them to a successful issue. In
no instance has this fact been more truly
exemplifed than in the career and light
amg-speed progress to fame of THOMAS
HOLLOWAY, and the proportionate uni.
versal dissemination of his PILLS and
OINTMENT as specifics for nearly every
disease of the human frame. We have
been fortunate enough to learn from his
own lips the modus operandi of this Won
der-working system, which evinces its
superiority not only in having reached
the acme of perfection, but in keeping
ahoat this mighty organization, harp
of thousand strings to keep in tune.
Let the reader conceive to himself the
possibility of creating and continuing in
working order business from whose TO-
Gus two articles with the simple cogomen
of HoLLowAY's Pills and HoLLowAY's
OINTMENT, are kept perpetually in the
hand and within the reach of one in every
hundred of a community, and that CON-
munity contained in no less limits than
the circle of the earth's bread surface.
Much moro could be said on this point
than can we'll come within the scope of
the short article, which we have thought
it our duty to devote to casual glance
at a great undertaking, that may have
escaped the observation, and consequent
ly the due appreciation ola great portion
of our readers; a system conceived as it
was, and carried out as it is, by master
mind We will at some future time rem
der some further interesting particulars
with regard to this peerless and unprece-
dented enterprise = Milwawkee Ne'es.'

What to do with Mexieo--views of an ex-
Minister.

The Mobile Register, edited by Mr..
Forsyth, ex- Minister to Mexico, hopes our
Government will remember, if the British
game of grab is played, that American
citizens are also large creditors of the
bankrupt nation, and their interest should
be looked after. Mr.. +. adds:
There is but one solution of the N exi-
can question. That country cannot gov

ment, it will get it in the shape of CON

American, it will be European-if it is
not legal government, and American, it
will be filibusterish and American or Eu-
ropean.
Our government will not see the truth,
and few of our people understand it. 1t
is nevertheless truth that time will force
upon the conviction of our Government
and people--a truth perfectly apparent
to every intelligent foreigner wfo has
ever visited the country and studied the
character of its people. The news we
publish to-day is but counterpart OF
Mexican history for the past forty years,
since her emancipation from the Spanish
yoke, and one looks in vain for any sign
to encourage the hope of better things in
the future. That fair and superb land is
given over to anarchy, civil war, murder
and robbery. The disease is chronic and
incurable, except through the infusion Of

consideration could ever induce any one
to take the Office is more, we think, than

shaving for a pitiable remuneration, and
at the same time being liable to the NOR

slight knowledge of the labour. trouble,

very reasonable conclusion, and those,

act in a more christian like spirit by
throwing, at least, the mantle of charity
