After their first love, the people of Mississippi have
no choice.”
Rumors at Washington. —it is evident (hat (he
letter-writers and originators of rumors, at Washing
ton, are in a fng respecting the designs of the admin
istration, and wo are glad of it. The last story is
that Scott is not to bo Court Mnrtiallud, and that
Towson has gono to Mexico on business connected
with his department, that of Paymaster General.—
So ended the noise of last week.^
{Col. Henry Petmken, says tho Union, has boon
re-appointed Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth
by Mr. Miller. Mr, Petriken has held this office for
three years under a former administration, and three
years under the present, and has discharged his du
ties in a manner highly satisfactory t<? those with
whom ho was associated and the public gener
ally.
INDIANA DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION*
We have seen an article in several papers, says
the Pittsburg Daily Post, stating that tho State Con
vention,, which met at Indianapolis on tho Bth inslarit
bad nominated Q,en. Cass for the Presidency, by an
almost unanimous vote-ronly two voting.against tho
nomination. This we think must be a mistake. Wo
have carefully examined the proceedings of (ho Con
vention, as contained in the State Sentinel, and find
no recommendation of any one, fur that office, em
bodied in the proceedings. Tho following resolution
is'tho only expression- in the procccidings in refer
ence to tho Presidency;
Resolved, That we approve of the proposed Ra
tional Convention, to be held'for the nomination of a
Democratic candidate for the Presidency and' VfeeF
Presidency, and of the proposition that it be held at
Cincinnati, ou the 4IK day of July next; and that
We will give to the.nominee of tho. Convention, our
zealous and undivided support.
Arkansas.—The Democratic Stale Convention of
Atkinses met at Little Rock bn tho 3d Inst* The

andTfios. 8. Drew for the office of Governor, op
pointed Presidential Electors, resolved that they
would cordially support for tho. Presidency .either
Woodbury, Buchanan, Cass, Dallas, Walker, or any
other good Democrat nominated by the National Con
vention.
‘'•"‘lndian Affairs.— Tho report oftheCommissionor
of Indian Affairs, Mr. Mcdill, t which .filjs an entire
page of the Union, is an interesting document, and
Us statements and representations In regard.to the
basinets of the department, und the condition-of ul
fairs both amongst the Indians themselves und he.
L * tween them and the government, arc very .satisfacto
ry*. The vorious tribes generally uro shown la be.
peaceably disposed, both towards each other and our
ovncilixous; though there have been a few dislur
bances, attended with some loss of life, among some
of the more remote and restless, with whom we have
little inlercoursoi and over whom it is difficult, if not
impossible, to exercise any control.
Tnx Question Discussed in Mexico.— Tho North
Americano has been discussing- tho question of an
nexation, contending that the lamentable and hope-1
less circumstances in which Mexico is placed, have I
imposed upon the United Stales tho necessity, .if not
the duty, of annexing her whole territory. Events,
continues (hat paper, havo proved the boundless
spread on this continent, of the Northern race, which
European diplomacy neither desires nor is able to
prevent, the Interest of the old world, with regard to
Mexico and (ho United States, being purely commer
cial } and to them it is rather beneficial than other
wise, that the Northern race should continue to pro
gress.
gj Generals Quitman and Shields, Captains Mac.
groder and Dlanding, and Lieutenants Scldcn .and
Blakely, were received by the Virginia Legislature
on. Saturday; in. very handsome style. After this

were then escorted to the Governor's mansion, whore
they were elegantly entertained. A dinner, followed

THE ELECTION NEXT FALL*
The election next full will bo an important one—
a,contest involving tho fundamental principles o£tbe
Constitution,and one which will stamp tho character
for weal or woo, for years to cOme.
All tlio Federal weapons of party , rancor and abuse
will bo brought Into full piaiy. Tho arch enemy of
Democracy, which, under .the thousand and one dis
guises, assumed (or popular-effect,has been hitherto,
driven to tho;wall,how stalks forth in the .broad light
oftday, exhibiting its gorgeous head, and openly ut
tering and avowing principles which have ever been
repudiated and scorned—principles which, Ifcarricd
nut, would , disgrace us in the eyes of The civilized
world, and endanger, if not totally destroy the con
stitution which binds us together as a people. Never,
in the history of our country, have the Federalists
been more bold in. their attempts lb disgrace the
Union—never have they advocated moro treasonable
measures, than at present—never before have they
been so unanimous in their dark and damnable work
of TREASON! A reckless, degraded, and discon
tented parly, banded together by no.common princi
pic, save factious, opposition -to Democratic rule,
stung by the recollection of repealed and recent
defeats, and animated by the prospective enjoyment
of public patronage and plunder, are now engaged in
plotting treason against tho Government! Tho Sage
of Ashland—ho whose hands arc stained with tlio
blood of his own countrymen, and whoso whole life
has been one continued scene of political gambling
for power and place, has been induced to leave, hts
homo and repair to Washington, for tho purpose of
urging on his blind parly followers in their efforts to
give “AID COMFORT" to tho treacherous
and dishonest Mexicans! Yes, the whole power of
the. Federal party, with that great bat wicked man
Henry Clay, at their head, are moving, heaven and
earth in trying to defeat tho bill before; Congress
which provides for the raising of volunteers to pros
ecute the present war.
Let it bo remembered that the Federalist* them*
selves voted in Congress at (ho last session for the
bill which declared that war existed “by tho act of
Mexico/* and that soon after. Henry Clay himself, in
his-spccch ut New Orleans, wished for “some nook
or corner in iho American army, that he mightauenge
the wrongs of his country /” At that lime the Fed
crulists had not fully matured their plans oftreason,
nor had Henry Clay fully made up his mind as,to
tho course ho should pursue.. Proteus-like, lie as
sumes every praso which tho varying hue of public
policy may dictate—ail things to dll men, he .is the
very genius of demagoguism nnd deceit.
We have been led to these icmarks for tho purpose
of convincing our. Democratic friends-of thty£rcat’'
importance of union and harmony in our'ranks. As
we.'said in tho : commencement of this article, the
next election will bo ono ofgrcat importance. Should
the Democratic parly unfortunately be defeated next
fall, every true lover of his country can then exclaim
—“ God save ihe Republic.” ;Is this tho time; for
Democrats to quarrel among themselves about men,
when principles so momentous are at stake ? v -Shall
wo suffer tho ranks of the democracy to bo rent
asunder, while the enemies of our country—tho.cno.
mics of our peace and happiness are attempting to
royk the battlements, if not rive the foundations of
.the Republic?. No, never! Let tho friends of tho
different aspirants for the Presidency urge the claims
of their favorite, if they please, but In God’s name
let us nut commit political suicide by attacking each
other. Ho is a traitor at heart who will at this time
attempt to cast a fire-brand into tho ranks of the
Democratic party. The lion-hearted democracy of
this country—a democracy, which, in tho language
- of Senator Allen, “ knows no basts, and cowers bo
: fore no attacks”—a democracy as pure and unpur
r chosablc as tho eternal principles on which it is
[ boscil—never has and never, can bo defeated when
■ united* -
Let os all then, wait with patience, tho action of
tho Democratic National Convention. Lot no one
bo too rash in urging his particular favorite. The
interests and fortunes of a single individual arc but
dust in tho balance. Lot us ail unite against the in
sidlous designs and dogmas of Federalism, and a
glorious victor? will crown our efforts.
O* Nothing of any moment, has; as yet, been done
in Congress. The session has,so fur, been spent,by
the. whigs, in making calls upon the President and
tho departments for all sorts of information with , a
view to a vigorous attack upon the administration,
and for tho further purpose, wo presume,of giving
as much aid and comfort as possible to our Mexican
enemies.
It seems to bo tho impression, with some, that tho
Wings in tho House of Representatives, have deter
mined to assume tho responsibility of voting against
any further appropriations for tho prosecution of tho
war. Let them do 111 A day of reckoning will
come, when the people of the United Slates will pro
nounce judgment upon them.
Tho following paragraph from tho Union shows
what progress Congress has made in tho business of
Legislation:
“Tho business of tho session drags; tho Tresi-
I dent's message is not yet.referred, and tho interests
of tho country are lull to suffer. Thu debates upon
tho reference of tho President's annual message
havo consumed as much lime as one would suppose
ought to be devoted to (hat subject. Tho country
will observe that when Mr. Robinson of Indiana
moved, on Wednesday last,that tho debate should bo
terminated, the entire whig party voted against it.
A parly having tho majority in tho House, und hav
ing the contraloflho House—in the midst of a war,
the pressing exigencies oflhc public service—protract
tho debate, consume their precious time, and mani-
fest no inclination to come to the serious business of
the session. Tho dcmocrotic party arc ready and
anxious to meet tho issues, and come to a direct vote
upon them. Tho country expects it; and wo trust
that the eyes of tho country will bo fixed on those
who, when .opportunity i*' offered, refuse to do tho
business of the people, and thereby virtually withhold
supplies for tho war;" ‘
Tub Governor's Message. —That able Democrat
ic paper, the Boston Post says of tho lalo message of
our excellent and worthy Governor;
“ Tho message of tho sound and sblo statesman
who presides over the noble commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, is of convenient length and oncourdging
lone. It is a merit in a Governor, ulyrnya to be able
to inako themselves' understood. Tho w’holo docu
ment relates purely .to (ho affairs of tho Stale except
that a few remarks on tho war havo a national boar.

This Ciirste(i Dank Romncny.—Tho rogues engaged
in Uio.robbery of Dr. Darlington, arc likely to h.ivo

Register says:
"Tho Dank of Chester county has issued now
notes of (i different character from those stolon, and
is rapidly withdrawing its old circulation and sub*
slittiling n new one. Oar friends, who bare any of
tho old emission on hand had better bring thorn (6

INAUGURATION OF GOV. SHUNIt*
The Harrisburg Democratic .Union of Tuesday
week thus speaks of the inauguration of Gov. Shunk :
“ Yesterday was as favorable a day for the occa
sion of the Inauguration as.could have been desired.
The procession to conduct j.he Governor to tho
Capitol formed at his residence, at 11} o’clock A. M.,
and was compbsed chiefly of tHo Heads of Depart
ment, Canal Commissioners, Judges of the Courts,
members of thpbar, together.with the “Carlisle Ca
dets.” ' Wo have not for some timo seen a better
drilled or a better looking, conipany of volunteers,
than the “ Cadets.” .
At 12 o’clock tho precession entered tho House of
Representative's, where tho members of the Scnatfe
and House were in Convcution, ahd a large concourse
of ladies worfT assembled, adding interest nnd gaiety
to. the, scone. Wo noticed also a number, of distin
guished gentlemen from abroad on tho floor.
After the administration of tho oath of office by
tho Speaker of tho Senate* Francis R. Shunk, the
Governor elect, delivered his Inaugural address. Its
stylo is pure, perspicuous and forcible, like that of all
the State papers which, emanate,from the pen of
Gov. Shunk, gives a brief but lucid exposition of tho
principles which are at the basis of our structure of
government, shows that thu interests of capital and
labor are identical, when under tho Influence of equal
laws ar\d equal rights, and unrestricted by partial
legislation, and expresses hostility (a all measures
calculated (o destroy this indentity of interest, to de
range the harmony and mar tho beauty of tho system
of free government by tho people. •:

and patriotic sentiments, wiir.coinmend itself to the

thing positive was know concerning tho despatches,
but opinions that they wore negotiations for peace
bad been- formed at Vera Cruz, from tho fact ihat
they had been sent in a vessel of war instead of wail
ing for tho steamer.
