The venerable Chief Justice " VIM.
L. SharlAy whom we may now call
venerable" with propriety, though we
were joked by Mr., Prentiss for calling him
so thirty years ago in our boyhood) has
taken the field against the mongrel Con-
stitutipn of Mississippi, and in support
Of the Constitution Of the United States
and the State Of Mississippi" Nothing
could have called this great patriot and
good man to so arduous task in his
now feeble health and old age, but an
overpowering sense Of the great and i'm
portant emergency, and the peril in
which republican institutions are placed.
Judge Sharkey has been an answering
Union man. But he shared the fate
of his State. and when the issue came,
cast in his lot with bis own people He
has the respect and the love Of all good
men. And his love of country, his full
mind, and sagacious insight into the
consequences of the present plan Of
government in defiance Of the Constitu-
ton, will speak with an eloquent tongue,
and irresistibly to all sincere and right
minded men. The case of the country
will indeed be hopeless if the counsels
of its patriots and sages is TO 60 nm

always with each changing season marked the
introduction of new goods into their spacious
establishment. Their present stock comprises
every article adapted to their branch, and their
moderate prices are really astonishing to one un-
accustomed to their mode of conducting business.
In their advertisement this morning, brief csta-
Iogue Of their leading articles are published. and

cism, we have only to advise visit to Messrs.
