The nomination of George NJ.
Buchanan to the high aud response.
BILE position of State Treasurer will,
We confidently predict, meet with
q response from the people of
Mississippi, such as the name Of
scarcely another man in the State
would call forth. Mr. Buchanan
comes fully up to the high standard
of fitness prescribed in the platform
Of our party, and under his MAN.
agement the financial affairs Of
Mississippi will be ably and honestly
conducted. Against lls private
character. We do not believe that
one word can truthfnliy be said,
and his competency to till the pO-
sition for which he has been
named, has already been es-
tablished by long and faithful
public service. 1t is with pleas
ure that we place his name at the
head of our columns, and on this
line we propose to eight it ont it

The food panic may be consid.
cred at an end. The Monitor never
has been panic stricken; it saw no
combination Of rises in the great
tribu.aries and the Upper MISSISSIPPI
pi and Missouri and felt justified in
trying to ailay appreheasions by
''nO flood" editorials written several
weeks ,go. Perhaps thirty planters,
all told, IN the Memphis district,
have lost their crops, but the inju.
ries from high water will be scarce
~ appreciable in general result.
Nothing but an unfavorable season
too much rain and early frost, can
prevent the harvesting of immense
crops of cotton aud corn, and oDr
merchants and plan ters aud people
generally may now reasonably an
ticipate the approach of better
times, the appearance Of more
money in circulation and the reyi-
val of trade ioksbmrg Monitor.
