THE PRESIDENCY AND THE HOUSE OF REP
REsENTATIvEs.-As there is probability that
the choice of the next President of the Uni
ted States may devolye on the present House
of Representatives, we subjoin statement of
its political east by States. 1t will be borne in
mind that in choosing President, each State
casts one vote. The present House is divided
politically as follows:
Democcratic-A labama, Arkansas, Califor-
MIA, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louis
lana, Mississippi, Missouri Oregon, South Car
olina, Texas Virginia-l5.
Republican-Connecticut, Indiana, Iowa,
Maine, Massachusetts,, Michigan, Minnesota,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Ohio. Pennsylvania Rhode Island, Vermont
Wisconsin.-15.
Equal1y Dimded.-Kentucky, Mary land
and North Carolina-3.
11nserican-Tennessee-1.
1t requires II votes to effect choice, and
as neither the Democrats nor the Republicans
have sufficient number, the four last named
States will, of course, hold the balance Of
power" Should the House fail to elect a
President before the 4th Of March, that duty
will then in effect devolve upon the Senate
which has the election Of Vice President,
who, under the provisions Of the Constitution
becomes President of the United States, The
Senate is composed of majority Of Demo-

Fillibustering Excitement.

Our advises (says the n. O. Courier) from
the Rio Grande are of quite exciting charac-
ter. The fever of ''territesial expansion
seems to have reached discriminating point,
and military chieftians are as thick there as
bIackberries in June. The preliminaries Of
an interview, we are told, are being prepared
between prominent citizens of Texas and GER
tain chiefs Of the Liberal party with view
Of introducing into the State of Tamaulipas
an army of American volunteers. The ostensi-
be object of the enterprise appears to be that
of supporting the Juarez government; but, we
are free to confess, it squints awfully at the
establishment of the Sierra Nadre Republic.
So much the better. Any excitement upon
the Rio Grande will be a god send to all of us,
and will prove an acceptable diversion from
the hackneyed topics upon which every one
has been harping SO long. We hope, there
fore, that the gentlemen who have the matter
in hand will soon set the ball in motion
Vidaurri is impatient for the commencement
of Operations. Carbajal is already at the head
of strong and well equipped division and
Gen. Reneau, like prudent Ulysses, is pre-
pairing the mine. With three such enterpris-
ing spirits it will be the fault of our profess
ional fillibusters if something important does
not turn up at an early moment.

That "Handbill. {"

The Mississippi Democrat thus effectually
disposes Of the anonymous ahandbill'' which
was issued at Columbus and designed as the
initiative of a scheme to organize Squatter
Sovereignty faction in this State. As it was
fraud upon the Democracy and has been
so effectually smashed up where it originated
we will dismiss it forever with the following:
This handful was printed at the Expositor
office, at the instance, we are informed, of
Judge j.. W.. Field; and perhaps only the
mere announcement of these two facts.is
necessary to satisfy the people of I.owndes
that this call was wholly unauthorized and
evidently intended 10 mislead the public mind.
But this handful has doubtless been circula-
ted at distance, and we find it copied in the
Mobile Register of Wednesday last. We
deemi it to be our duty, therefore, to brand it
as an superintendent malicious rnisrepresenta-
ton of the Democracy of Lowndes; and to an
nounce that the individual supposed 10 have
originated this call is not . democrat and has
never been identified with the party. - =
In-place OF ether remarks of our own,
which we designed making in regard to this
matter We detach from the proceedings the
following resolutions which were unanimous.
ly and enthusiastically adopted by large
meeting of the democracy held at the Court
House on yesterday: n SO ears. -
Resolved, That the. handbils (some of
which have been posted on the corners Of our
streets, and others sent broadcast through the
country calling meeting at the Court House
on Saturday, the 18th inst, with intent to
attempt reputation of the action of the
Charleston delegates from Mississippi, and
purporting to emanate from Democrats is an
unmitigated fraud on the Democracy of
Lowndes., =. az 81 as- ~ =. ~
Resolued, unanimously. That the Democra-
cy of Columbus and Lowndes county do here
by spike this ''first Douglas gun in Misss-
sippi."
eT "a Is ,ssza7g4 vAGs %saE
The Democracy of Lowndes may rest as
sured that they have amply yindieated them
selves. They are above al suspicion.

From tie Ne,e Tork DIM BonL.

At last we have touched bottom on the
slavery question" The end for which this
journal has earnestly labored for the last three
years is now reached-the true and the dis
tinct issue is now presented-the living and
the dead are separated at Charleston, and
every honest Democrat and true patriot in
the South and in the North will rejoice at the
glorious result. This is governments of white
men, and all the rights of the white men
should be and t0iU be protected within the Fed
eral jurisdiction, and with this great, vital and
fundamental principle emblazoncd on their
banners, the young progressive, and glorious
Democracy will march to victory in November
But the time for compromise, and contri-
vance and non .committalism has gone by;
the people and the country, and the times de-
mand honesty, manly, and fair dealing on the
great question of the day and party that
seeks only the spoils Of Office, or if it has any
principle at all, it is to abondon the most sa-
cred of rights to be decided not only by white
squatters of the Territories, but in the dis
tant future by the miserable mongrels of Mex
leo and Central America. is vastly more dan
gerous and thousand times over more con-
temptible, than the open and undisguised anti
slavery and free negroites of the North.
As it is, then, the real, breathing, true and
unconquerable Democracy, with seventeen
sovereign States at their back, will meet the
niggerites of the North on their own ground.
They will doubtless nominate Davis or Hun
ter, with some such man as Lane for the Vice
Presidency, and then accept the issue so long
proposed by the antislaveryites-''he freedom"
or 'slavery''-negro equality or negro subor-
dination in the Observation-Disclosures with
negroes or the equal rights of the white men
within the Federal jurisdiction, now and for
ever.

We see that a meeting of (so-called) Old
line Democrats is called in Marion, Lauderale
county, to consider the state of the Democra-
tie party, in view of the course of the South
ern delegations at Charleston. The wors1ipg
of the call would seem TO- indicate disappro-
val of their action, and disposition to hold a
Convention to give expression to that senti-
ment. 1t was probably not known to its au-
thor that the Executive Committee represen-
ting the Democratic organization Of the State,
by authority of the last Convention, has is
sueda call for Convention of the sohO1e par
ty to meet in Jackson on the 30th Of May.
This CALL we want it distinctly understood,
is not designed to embrace those only who
approve Of the action Of the delegates but
the entire Democracy so that there may be
full and fair declaration of opinion with refer
ence to their course, and the line of action
proper to be pursued in the Presidential cleo
ton.
Let there be large Convention, so that all
shades and hues of opinion may be reflected
The Mississippi delegates don't ask the verdict
of a packed jury.
We trust that the authors of the anony-
nous manifesto in the Marion Observer Of
they are really old line Democratic will join
in the Democratic State Convention on the
S0th. If they are Douglasites, in disguise,
we will give them this piece of information
No State Conceatson IN the interest Of the H.
LRois t,aitor, against tchom the South tOted al
most an body an the Charleston COnueRtion,
can be gotten up IN Mississippi. This, a fact,
to the honor of the State be it said. IL they
are Democrats in truth, anxious to preserve
the unity of the South and the integrity Of
the Democratic organization, it would be wiser
for them to remain in the councils of the par.
ty and see what is going to be done, and take
share in the matter, than to make them
selves ridiculous by flying off at tangent.

Speech of Senator Davis.

We surrender the greater portion of our
space to-day for the purpose of placing before
our readers the admirable speech of Hon. JEFF
ferson Davis on the leading and important pub
lie questions, which the resolutions, some time
since introduced by that able and distinguished
Senator very distinctly defined, and on which
Mr.. Davis has now spoken in the mastery
and statesmanlike manner which irhparts the
profoundest interest to all his deliberate ut
terances. We do not consider it at all neces-
sary to make an apology for the absorption Of
our space by matter of such solid value and
deep general interest as this. The individual
who neglects to read it loses a rich intellec-
tual treat and falls behind the political history
of the country Washington Constitution.
We have read this mastery effort with no
little pleasure It's worthy of the encomiums
of the Constitution, and comes fully up to the
highest standard of excellence which its dis
tinguished author has attained as states
man, an orator and expounder Of constitu-
tional principles. When the pressure Of mat
ter demanding immediate attention, is over,
we shall transfer it to our columns. We SUBJ
NIT in this connection, the folloFing extract
from the speech, touching the course Of the
Mississippi delegates at Charleston:
These are the general views which enter
tain of our right of protection and the duty of
the Government. They are those which are
entertained by the constituency I have
the honor to represent whose delegation
has recently announced those principles at
Charleston. honor them, and i approve
their conduct. Think their bearing was wor-
thy of the mother State which sent them there;
and doubt not she will receive them with
Joy and gratitude. They have asserted and
indicated her equality Of right By that as
serted equality of right doubt not she will
stand For veal or for woe, for prosperity or
adversely, for the preservation Of the great
blessings which We enjoy, or the trial of new
and separate condition, I trust Mississippi
never will surrender the smallest atom Of the
sovereignty, independence, and equality to
which she was born, to avoid any danger or
any sacrifice to which she may thereby Be ex-
posed.

1.-The First Gun.

Last Saturday was the day named in the
Handful already noticed in our columns, for
a meeting in Columbus to condemn the course
the Mississippi delegates at Charleston, and
to sell ont the Democracy of the State to the
Squatter Sovereignty Douglas faction.
1t turns out that nobody responded to
the call, and the whole thing was wretched
abortion. One of our friends telegraphs as
follows under date of Columbus, May 18th ::
'The meeting called to take place here on
Saturday was total failure. No person at
tended. All right in Lowndes. j. B."
Inasmuch as the Mobile Register welcomed
the anonymous handbill as the first gun"
from Mississippi, we hope it will make note
of the above despatch, in connection with the
fact thakt large meeting in Columbus, the
Democracy have with one accord endorsed
the action Of their delegates at Charleston and
enlisted in the patriotic movement which they
inaugurated. Traitors to the South are scarce
in the Democratic camp IL. Mississippi

Movements Of the Mississippi Democ.
racy.

The Democracy Of Mississippi are respond
ing with their accustomed promptitude and
alacrity to the call for State Convention
Lowndes led off with an enthusiastic meeting
on Friday, and other demonstrations were
had in number of counties on Monday All
over the State calls are pending for meetings,
and the indications are that the State Conyen-
ton on the 30th will be the largest and most
enthusiastic, as it will be the most important
ever held in the Slate. In this patriotic work
our brethren of the press are performing their
duty nobly. With immaterial exceptions
they speak wordsof encouragement and their
inspiring notes rise high above the din of fac
tons. All honor to the united, undismayed
Mississippi Democracy honor to the press
which champions their righteous cause and
gives warning of eapproachof danger.

From the Mobile 1Eerr,,,.,

The latest intelligence warrants the belief
that some agencies were at work calculated to
distract the harmonious action of the seceders,
and if possible thwart their efforts to bring
about good fellowship and harmony between.
the Southern States.
We feel satisfied from all that we can hear.
that these parties who are striving to distract
our councils are the covert emissaries of Dou-
glas, who, in order to defeat us, want the
South to take an aggressive position, and thus
bring the whole movement into contempt
The trick is too shallow to deceive any one.
and the effect will be that their conduct will
recoiI upon their own heads, and leave them
stranded upon the shoals of disappointment,
on which the waves of their own ambition
will have cast them.
These selfish demagogues need not delude
themselves with the belief that their motives
are not understood. The course of some OF
them is but the fulfilment ofwhat we predic-
ted before the Charleston Convention met. but
we trust the people will teach them the truth
of the old adage, that "the way of the trans
greSsor is hard,'' and it applies as well in pol
tics as in morals. At this .juncture, least of
all, should our people tolerate any deception
and double dealing of their leaders.
