Congressman as Delegates

We commend to our readers the I'M
selfish and patriotic letter of Maj. Banks
dale. in which he declines to be sup
ported for delegate to the National Dem
ocratic Convention. The views expressed
are held by many of the most thought
full mea in the State, and we are graft
fed at the opportaaity af placing them
before our readers with the endorsement
of so distinguished citizen as the an-
thor Of che letter.
We do not understand Mai. Barksdale
as holding that the mere fact that gem
tiemen is a member of Congress should
disqualify him from being delegate to
a National Convention, II it should ap-
near that some superimpending neces-
sitv required that a member of Congress
should be selected for we feel warranted
in saving that Maj. Barksdale, OF all
men, holds the welfare of the party sec
ond only to the welfare of the people,
and makes all rules subservient to these
great interests The question to be
asked and decided, now, is whether the
necessities of the occasion demand thai
the State Convention shall override
rule based on sound principles? W.
think not but we are open to convle
tion. We are not to be convinced, how
ever, that it is proper thing to selec'
Congressman as delegates, by being tole
that this, that or the other one is dis
tinguished citizen and has rendered emf
nent services to the State, unless 1t cal
be shown that Their, are no such distln
guished citizens who are not Congress
men. We have no patience with tina
sort Of trucking which prompts tn
nomination of distinguished gentlemen
lin the interest of the gentlemen them
selves. and without thought of the inter
ests of the people.
| We believe, after careful survey
the field, that there are persons at hom
as competent to represent Mississippi il
the National Convention as the gentle
men at Washington, and we believe tina
a convention uninfueneed by the die
tation of Congressman is most likely I
reflect the popular will.

Sensible Resolutions.

The Democrats Of Warren county held
a spirited and interesting convention on
Saturday. Twelve delegates to, the State
Convention were selected, a majority of
whom, it is said, are for Tilden. The
following sensible resolutions were
adopted;
Resolved, That the Democratic party
of Warren county in convention assem-
bled, do cordially endorse the present
Administration of the State Goyernmep,
and that they congratulate all the peo,
ple of the State upon having a govern.
ment administered by her own peonla
with wisdom, fidelity and economy.
Resolved by the Democratic party of
Warren county in convention assembled
| That we favor the nomination by the
Democratic National Convention Al
/ Chicago, for the offices of President and
/ yice-President, of candidates who win
command the respect and support of tbe
party, and be most likely TO secure tbe
/ votes of all persons who are dissatisfied
with the principle and conduct of the
Republican party, and desire reform in
the administration of the Government,
and. that, in our opinion, the delegafr.
to said convention should be left nm.
trammeled by any instructions in the
premises.
I'D. That in our opinion it is unwi,a
to say more ut this time than that NE
hereby ratify in advance the action Of tie
State and National Conventions, and Mil
stand by ii solidly and cheerfully, whetb.
er the same shall meet with our irJ..
vidual approval in al respects or not

News From Chicago.

Up to the hour of going to press the
National Republican Convention, which
convened in Chicago on yesterday, had
not effected permanent organization.
Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, was Sc
lected by the National Executive Com
mittee to be temporary chairman of the
Convention; but theopponents of Blaine
combined against him and put in nomi-
nation before the Convention the Hon.
Jno. R. Lynch, of Mississippi, who was
elected.
Gen. Geo. c. Mckee, member of the
National Committee from Mississippi,
voted for Clayton, but it is safe to say
that Mississippi delegates voted for
Lynch.
Blaine developed an unexpected
strength ON the vote for temporary chair
man, and unless the friends of all the
other candidates combine against him
he will be the nominee of the conven-
ton.
We do not believe that any of Blains's
or Logan's votes will go to Arthur, and
it may be that the opposition to Blaine
is so determined thaS he viii not be
able to gather s.ey additional strength,
To US it lcslks very much as if the lead.
ipS eshdidates will have to stand aside
for some one of more negative cast Of
character.
We are more than ever convinced thai
the prospects of eleeting a Democratic
President were never better.

CONSISTENCY.

The following extracts from the edi-
torial columns of The CLARION appear
in the Vicksburg Post of the 10Th inst,
under the heading "Before and After"
ave have Just learned that Chancellor
Peyton has granted the injunction IN the
case of the Natchez, Jackson & Columbus
Railroad Company against the Railroad
Commission. We doubt not his opinion
will be a valuable contribution to the ju.
dicial learning on the subjects discussed. "
Clarion, 2lst.
The opinion of Chancellor Peyton,
which we publish to-day. like that of Judge
Hill, does not meet the requirements Of
the occasion, and will be disappointment
to many Of the friends of the distinguished
iurist. &C Clarion, 18th.
We understand the intimation of our
esteemed contemporary to be that 1t
does not comprehend how an opinion
can be "a valuable contribution to the
judicial learning, on the subjects dis
cussed," and at the same time fail to
'smeet the requirements of the occa-
sion.
There are many persons who think
that when a judgment has been pro-
nounced by court it is not to be doubt
ed or criticised, and there are other per-
sons who have no respect for courts or
their judgments and assail all indiscrim-
inately. We congratulate ourself that
we do not belong to either class. We
recognize the fact, as fully IS any, that
the Judgment of court of original jur-
lisdiction is final and conclusive as to
the matters involved in the particular
| litigation, unless reversed. but We have
never vet heard that such courts are in
fallible, and we know that they are not.
We have great respect for courts and We
believe that the welfare of society de-
pends upon ready obedience being
1 yielded to their DEGREES and judgments
but We are unwilling TO eoneede that the
decision Of court settling questions Of
great public concern Is 50 sacred 3 thing
that It may not Is doubted OF criticised
The courts themselves do not contend
/ for any such immunity from criticism
and some Of the ablest opinions to b
. found il the reports have been the sub
iects Of a. able criticism. It il com

Our Neighbors of the Free State

If the determination on the part oil

fee personal feeling to the interests OF

as is that of our neighbors over the

suit Of the elections to occur next fall.

yention on Saturday last, @buried the

nees Of that unconqnerable army which
has fought 50 many successful battles
for the good people Of Rankin and Of
the State.

7. J. HUBBARD, ESQ.,:

WAsHIEGroS, d. c. May 18th, 1854,
T j. HUBBARD. ESQ.,:
Ny DEAR SIR: / am in receipt of
your letter kindly rendering me your
support for delegate to the National
Democratic Convention, and inquiring
if it would be desirable to me 20 serve
in that capacity. Other friends have
done me the same honor. Approaching
the Importance of the trust. | am pro-
foundry grateful for their expressions Of
confidence, but my insariable reply has
been TO decline it. I have consistently
maintained that members of Congress
should not be appointed as delegates to
Presidential nominating conventions
Formerly candidates for President and
vice President were nominated by Con-
gressfonal caucus. The caucus became
hot bed of intrigue in which the real
people who do the voting had no voice.
The members were exercising function
which they were not chosen to perform.
The system justly became odious. It
was discarded, and the present conven-
ton system was adopted of selecting
delegates fresh from the people, and
free from Congressional dictation and
management To select members Of
Congress would simply be a modifica
ton of the rejected caucus system. Car
rying out this principle, it has been the
rule of the Democratic party of Missis
sippi ever since the plan of nominating
candidates was changed, not to appoin
. members of Congress as delegates. 1t i
; founded in wisdom, and | trust will b
adhered to. There is ample materia
outside of Congress from which to Sc
lect delegates, who, presumably, are IL
: formed of the will OF the people, an
t will be inspired by a determination
reflect it faithfully in that importan
assemblage, which, believe, is destine
! by the blessing of Providence to desigl
a ate the persons who for the four veal
+ succeeding the 4th Of March next, al
! to fill the highest Offices of the Cover
ment. am, truly. your friend,

Yazoo Sentinel.
There is considerable discussion con-
.cerning the location of the proposed State

State want the college, but che law Great
inc it distinctly says that it shall be cen

yantages are offered, and also at a place
Known to be healthy and free from an
nnal epidemics. jackson has all those
advantages, and would be more cenyen-
lent 70 an sections Of the State than any

also over its competitors, that if located
there, the college would be under the
