Mississippi Sentiment.
[From che Natchez Courier.l


The Free Trader of the 18TH, speaks of
Natchez as "a blaze with excitement and
rejoicing over the new reign. Never were
wilder words spoken, or mole injudcious
paragraphs sent forth. They were intended
not for home consumption, but for abr Dad
influence. We owe it to the truth, land we
regret the necessity to do SOL to deny any
such public sentiment here.
So far from the news of the appointment of
Mr.. Davis as Provisional President, being
received with alacrity, it was received with
regret. Neither in character nor in politics,
has he any hold upon the confidence of the
people. He has at last attained what be hos
been struggling for for ten years pasta
Presidency. We may admire the ingenuity
with which he has attained his object, and
yet despise the tricks by which be has
cEawled to il.
There was no sound of rejoicing here at
NatcheZ, either on account of the formation
OF such Southern Confederacy, or the APP
pointment of such rulers. The word sprung
too often from one to another, o.sAre we to
have no showing? Are the people to have
no choice? Can Convention alter Consti-'
buttons? impose taxesf appoint Constitution
makers? inaugurate Presidents? Are they
oligarchs, and are we nothing?" And each
citizen had to confess that there was no reply
chy that has not yet dared to trust the peo-
pie with say as to its consent. Right as
the South is upon the great question at issue,
its position has been compromised by the
events Of the last two months. The consent
of the governed is an essential element OF
Government. The people of the Southwest
might have voted for all that has been done,
but their consent has not yet been either
asked or obtained. 4szss

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.--In the case of the
State of Indiana against JAS. ANoNDALE, WM.
BAUGH, and RoBr. REcroN, the following de-
cision has been given in the Clark county
Qnd.) Circuit Court, the defendants having
been arraigned on an Indictment for kidnap-
ping. On motion to quash the Indictment
the counsel for the defense and State both
admitted the law to be as declared in the case
of PRIGG vs.. the Commonwealth of Pennsyl-
yania. l. That the master has q right to
pursue his slave into free State and take
him back to the State whence he escaped,
without proving his claim to him under the
Fugitive Slave Law. 2. That the agent of
the master had right TO pursue aud take
back the slave without such trial. g. That
if a stranger should take fugitive from
slavery back TO his master, and that master
adopted the act of taking him back as his
own act, then the person taking up the slave
was not liable. This seemed to be the settled
law on the subject. The motion to quasi
having been overruled, the defendants were
tried and acquitted-the jury not leaving the
box. The testimony did not show that any
force or threats were used to get the negro
to go to the State of Kentucky.

| SENATOR SEwARD's VIEWS OF THE Policy
OF THE INCOMING ADMINISTRATION The
Committee of New York merchants who took
to Washington the petition signed by thirty.
eight thousand citizens in favor of compro-
| mise, have submitted report to the meet
ing by which they were appointed, in the
course of which they say: -
Having been permitted to give a full and
free statement of their views, the Honorable
Senator Mr.. Seward) favored your Commit
tee with an Interesting account of past events
and present prospects in connection with his
own position, and defined the Limitations
within which he must restrict himself in pre-
sentiug their memorial to the Senate of the
United States. -r-
In regard to the issue of the pending con-
troversy, he expressed the confident hope
that, through the conciliatory and peaceful
action of the incoming Administration, the
South would be won back to higher regard
for the Union, a Union to which she is invit-
ed to return by recollection of the mani
fold blessings enjoyed in the past, and in
whose honor and rem OWN she must ever have
a real and abiding interest, despite the mani
festations of passion now so rife in certain
quarters of the country.
The Committee further says:
As hereinbefOre stated, your Committee
have used the little influence they possess in
promoting the cause of peace and HARMONY.
They have urged spirit of patriotism, and
| have been met, not unfrequently, by the spirit
of party. The presses of the North, in the
| interest of party, exert a powerful influence
| and restrain a generous disposition on the
part of Northern Representatives.
But your Committee would not fail to men,
| ton that the maintenance of the Govern
ment at the present tine depends mainly
upon the action of the Republican party, and
that harmony in its ranks is essential to its
| usefulness and very existence
At the same time the seizure of forts, ar
| senals, dock yards, cutters, and other proper.
| ty of the Federal Governments; the Invasion
of one State by the troops of another, even
prior to secession, with hostile intent, and
| other acts alike unwarrantable, have served
| to exasperate members of Congress who are
engaged in the faithful performance of their
duty; and these things enhance the difficulty
and increase the danger.
Time is wanted to bring about necessary
legislation, and it is not to be concealed that
the Secessionists, prompted by ambition, per-
haps in fulhlment of preconceived designs.
have precipitated action for the express pur-
pose of preventing such legislation. ~ 30
Under these circumstances, your Commit.
tee can only suggest that all possible means
be used to neutralize the efforts OF men at the
North, who are acted on by views and pur-
poses as hostile to the Union as those which
govern the leaders of secession; of men who
encourage resistance to every reasonable
concession that conflicts with party dogmas
and party ends. b "a
