on the last night of Its fitting, after the" ladies
had left the Hou?, our talentqd and eloquent
friend, J. S. Byrne, Esqr., of Vicksburg, was
called on for a speech; He very reluctantly
for a speeciu He very reluctantly
complied with the call, by returning thanks for
Mie compliment paid himr saying that as night '
had progressed to the 'wee sma' hourr,' he
would not have the bad taste to inflict a speech
upon the audience, especially s they had been
so well entertained Jjy th very excelleqones
that had been delivered during the. night. His
remarks we are told, though few,,- were happy
and to the point, and it was a matter of general
regret that he was cillod on se late, as many
who had never-had the pleasure of hearing him,
wutild have been delighted to have heard a
longer speech on this occasion. All a'gree that
the Convention was one of the largest and best
conducted political .meeting ever held in. the
State notwithstanding it was whispered that
Messrs.; Freeman and Thacher had blank in
dictments ready to be filled out with the names
of any "conspiring Know-Nothings' wfco should
come up to the Sinhedrim from the Democrat
ic Counties! Judge Ghohon was expected
daily in the city, the Penitentiary was not full,
and the two distinguished, prosecutors waitin
and willin' to seize upon all engaged in the foul
conspiracy against the great Democratic party!
Some, we may well suppose, ware deterred from
making their appearance, and a great many had
bolted immediately after the election. Tae bat
tle went agaWt U3, and as rats desert falling
houses, they fled from what they considered a
sinking cause. But we had enough left to make
one of the handsomest political demonstrations
ever made in tho State. True we hal been out
voted at the late election, our' principles were
good, and our men those that were faithful
unto the end .were good too,theonHy fault was,
we did not hara enough of them. .The platform
of the American party was predicated on too
high an estimate of human nature. We had
furty-Sve thousand voters sworn into the order,
but the stern obligations of a sacred oath melted
before the obligations to party rule,and theaters
and stripes trailed in thi dust. Tin digniS i
Republican axiom inserted in our platferr,
: ;! I f:k,tUU4i,a'W 1 ynan
-Aj-,i3r error arising iroin a too
exalted an estimate of human nature, especially
Mississippi, Democratic humin nature. Tnis
was all beautiful an! patriotic ia theory, but
its practical workings proved its political fallacy.
TheoTices have si lon been souiht of the
spoilers, fait they traveled slow in the new or
der of things, ail while th8 ATaericanr relying
on the justness of their cause, were waiting for
them to seek them,
"The witches caught them on the way."
In other words the Sag Nichts in their wil 1
hunt after oTice, caujht them up before th?y
could reach the Americans! Now this is a fact
that will not bo denied, and we a3k docs our
defeat argue any fault in our principles or men?
Not at all. Tii3 fault wi3 in the oJi:e and
notour men. Wa propose an entire change of
tactics, and reommenJ our peeple to sce'e for
the oTices next time if the mountain won't
come to Mihjrnet Mahomet must go to the

Yesterday our polite. and agreeable friend,
Governor M;Ri called to go with us to the
State Hjuse to see the assembled wisdom in
sitting. We spent an hour very pleasantly in
the two Ileuses, and are constrained to say-
though we wish from our heart good Americans
had been in their places, that the present Le
gislature is a very able and dignified body.
The lower house particularly, is "as fine a body
of men as could be got together in any state,
though a large majority of themare Sag Nichts.
The Speaker, Sir. B irry, is a fine looking gentle
manand presides over the Hiase with dignity
and marked ability. Tae Clerk, Mr. Pickett,
late editer of the Natchez Free Trader, is quite
handsome, and seems well qnliaed for his du
ties. 4 Atrrong m the members Juije Sharkey
towers a head and shoulders above them all, and
next to him in point of ability and dignity is our
good friend, J. L. Alcorn, Esq., of Coahoma
He is a splendid looking gentleman, and well
versed in Parliamentary rules, having represen
ted his district in the Senate and House for a
great many years. ,Holme and Yerger, o'
Yazoo, are conspicuous amort the younger
members of the Hsuse, though no great ques
tions have come op te give them an opportunity
to show their ability. . As the Democrats have
so large a majority, the Americans are pretty
much like a poor man at a frolic, and have not
much to say. The two Houses are progressing
shwly with the new Code, and passing local
bills, not giving much scope for the aspirant
for parliamentary honors. In the Fenate they
are also reading the new Code and adopting and
amending it, and it bids fair to drag its slow
length" along through the whole session, as but
two" chapters are yet dispesed xjt. - .
Amonff the Senators there" is an honorable
sprinkling of true Americans. ; Colonel J. N
Davis, of Panola, who ably and triumphantly
bore the banner in his own county and district!

Last night we attended a Supper, at the ner
City Hall g'ven by the ladies of the Presbyte
rinn Church. Itwai a splendid affair, and we
saw for the first time, the beauty of Jackson as
sembled. The room was large and set with
tables beautifully and bountifully spread. In one
corner of the room was the post office. As we
approached it in our promenade of observation,
a beautiful girl came to the door of the tent and
said there was a letter in the office for Mrs.
Prevvett. Of course it was paid for, and it af
forded us sincere pleasure. It was a welcome
to Jackson, signed by "one of many." We did
not learn the amount of the nett proceeds of
the supper, but have no doubt it was a goodly
sum.
On last Sabbath we attended the Presby!erian
Church, and heard a moat excellent termon by
our old fi fend and pastor, the Rev. Mr. Mcln-
nis. for manv vears a resident of Yazoo. It
affords us pleasure, to inform the many friends
of Mr. Mclnnis, that he is well and prosperous.

The Circuit Court ojf Warren, has, been now
in session here for the last three weeks, Hon. J.
S. Yerger, presiding. Many cases have been
despised, of both civil and criminal, and lawyers
litigants and the people at large seem perfectly
delighted with the new Judicial OTicer.
We learn that the charge of the Judge to the
Grand Jury was one of the ablest, most perspic
uous and profound ever delivered in the State
of Mississippi. The action of the Grand Jury,
has shown that the truth it embodied fell not
upon a rock for they have zealaisly set them
selves to their work, and have found in indict
mentain every instance, wherp the evidence
permitted from crimes of the highest to those
of the lowest grade. Many of these cases have
been brought to trial and with scarce a solitary
exception,conviction has folloAved showing the
importance of a rigid Judge.; for manifestly the
Juries, reflect the Ju.lge.- It is notorious to all,
who have given attention to Criminal Courts,
that where the Ju e is joose or indifferent in
the administration of the law, the juries will be
equally so in tha 'verdict they render.ThsrS
have been several convictions ir :-zva char
ged with assault with intent kill and also of
others charged'with cad petit larceny ,and
in every instance t Judge has pronounced the

of Mr. Davis, of Panola, returning the

to the Ail. rrnartv. we recw m timlv
sustenaucefrom such a quarter; for allow me to
say, that bright eyes, and soot hearts, and spark
ling intellects, thrown in adjunctively from that
sex we all reverence, should inspire all who truly
cherish genuine Americanism ' to renewed exer
tions, an I resolve us to strike for our rights, our
principles, and our country's honor.
-1 remember, sir, to Lave read in ancient histo
ry th it a great naval battle was fought, where the
frotit was formed by a gondola, or rather kt me
say, a galley, resplenden with femafc charm?, and
which glittered with all the pomp of Egyptian
art, when Egyptian, art had reached its culmina
ting point. The att'oa opened, and Roman val
or prevailed.'- That gorgeous galley bearing its
imperial m ttress, was seen . specum,
.'ss, was seen . speeding m retreat;
she who had disjensd the ardor that puls ited in
cvcrv heart around, fled in dismay when defeat
! lowered, and man, fascinated man Ml owed.
Bat sir, our pet and pride; she, the fair heroin ?
who ungloved her soft hands to grap the keen
j weapon of partisan warfare, whose warm heart
threw out and gleamed abroad its own devotional
ores, and whose fair tones were heard mingling
with all ruder voices in swelling the grand an
them of Americanism which went up lately from
the Atlantic to the Pacifle coast of this glorious
.Union she when triumph fled aud meuds fell,
and glory vanished, unlike the Egyptian queeu,
stood forth in the very front of the battle till the
last squadron was routed, and she is here this
evening, in the midst of this great "gatherinc',iof
Amermaus, ready to join again in sounding torth
the pibroch notes of defiance, and to strike once
mora for her countrymen and her "country's hon
or, l ucre was an incident, air. V resident, w hich
fell under my obeervatiou, during a recent visit
to New York, which beautifully and 'touchingly
illustrates the relation of our party to their spi
rited heroine of the American movement, I stood
on Hroadway,that splendid thorough-fare of the
American metropolis, and the day was that rever
ed anniversary which, at every return, serves but
to rekindle American patriotism: In the midst
of that gaudy military procession which filed ' for
hours before me, and in front of a native Ameri
can Company, walked a beautiful young girl, dres
sed in the colors which distinguished the soldiers
uniform around, and who was hailed a second
"daughter of the Regiment." My heart btrrned,
and my feelings expanded, as the thought forced
itself ou my mind that every man of that proud
band would die in hi3 tracks before a single rude
hand could reach t&at fair and beautiful child.
And now sir, to make the application which . al
ready beams forth from th& many eyes fixed . on
mine let me assure the daughter of our grand
American regiment off Mississippi, that, having
her in our midst, blood . would How and life ebb
fastly ere our rough weapon could pierce her
glowing heart, or even an untempered breeze visit
her devotional bosom. 8hcis ours beloved by

A Good Example.
About one year ago it wa3 stated in a New
Uampshire paper, says tin exchange paper,that
a noble woman of that State, the daughter of
an old revolutionary patriot" and the widow of a
veteran Jackson Democrat, when bidding ad'eu
to one of her.sona as he was about setting out
for the far west, looked him in the eye and said.
"Son, never let me see your face, or hear from

the pride of her he&ft i bo shouWy good
American mother address her sons.every Amer
ican Bister address her brothers, and tvery'Amcr
ican wife address her husband. That New
Hampshire matron had heard her patriot fath
er speak of the s.cret political associations, that
preceded the Revolution, and of the immense
service they had rendered to the great cause of
American independence, and .she had been an
attentive reader of'the American journals and
learnt from them the nature of the secret polit
ical associations of tho Know-Nothings,.: and
the objects they aimedat. bhe saw that they
were good.
Her intelligence convinced her that the re
cent rapid organization of secret foreign bands
in our countiy, had rendered them absolutely
necosary. Her leading had awakened her
mind to the startling fact that Romanism had
been U3jn its secret , political associations oi
Jesuits for a quaiter of a centurV" in this coun

against civil and religious Jiherty in all parts o
the world, and that they had succeeded in their
des "lis when rrankhn fierce was clect-d Pres

No wonder she felt the time had come for hei j
to enjoin upon a darling chil I the duty of 'join
