and with good judgment on both sides pursued
1t will promote law and order in the State, and
remedy the dempral sation which has to some ex'
tent prevailed in consequence Of our unsettled state
f affairs.
Bnt whilst we should support the law until 1t
shall be declared void by the supreme Court we
should stand on the Constitution as the bnlwark OF
our rights. We should never lose this substance
by grasping at the shadow Of getting our rights
under this bill. Nothing can istfyus, IN present
circumstances, In abandoning our rights under Tue
constitution. We should contend for the existence
and integrity of the State, as member OF IN
Union under the Constitution Of The Uai.sd States'
and for our domestic rights thereunder as above
the power of congress We should take prompt
and efficient steps to have our rights, ~ involved
in this bill, brought before the Supre me court OF
the United States for adj Idicaton and to that end
TO retain able and learned counsel to maintain our
cause. We should await patiently the decision OF
that tribunal and in the meantime, do our duty as
6Iithfai citizens, and iaD abiding men, under the
law as il now stands, eDdeavo-ing. by all the
means in our power, TO promote peace and law
and order in the community.
And this appears to the writer to be the course
of honor, of patriotism and Of safety.

ton, and that it is doing good
business, and could it make arrange

fear there IS not that good feeling
exiting between it and connecting
roads that should exist. AS link
in the route between New Orleans
and Memphis. this road is one of the
gre ,test Importance. Much of the
success of this road is due to the in
defatigable exertions of the accom-
plished superintendent, Mr.. A. S.

agent, Mr.. N. G. Oakley, whom we
were pleased to find in very high
favor with the business men OF Mem
