the U. States," the currency in which I ^ Mississippi hound herself to ttmke pay ment. If this objection were honestly made, why not offer payment in dollars or eagles, which are current money of the U. States? Had this been done, and such payment been refused, then would there be plausibility in the objection.? ; But it is alleged by the Governor that four shillings and six pence is too high a valuation of the dollar. This might ho an excuse for refusing to pay the excess over the true Value, but is surely no good reason for refusing to pay the whole debt. 2 Another of the Governor's objections to paying the bonds is that they were sold on a credit, bearing interest from the day of sale; which was etjiiiValerit to selling them below par; a thing forbidden by law. This might with some plnU-r sihility be urged against paying interest for the short time which elapsed before the purchase money was paid ; but how can it excuse a refusal to pay the debt? He is surely a rogue who would seek shelter under such a plea, or who could of. ler an excuse for him who makes the plea. 3 A third objection stated by tiie Governor is that the purchase of the bonds by Mr. Bidplk was not for himself, hut for the U. S. Bank of Pa., and that the purchase was made in his own name, only to evade a provision in the charter of that Bank prohibiting it from dealing in state stocks. The purchase of ti?e bonds was therefore, snvs his Excellency, a fraudu. lent transaction, wh?ch vitiates the contract, and discharges the State from her obligation to pay the bonds. This objec tion comes rather late. Had it been made at the time of the contract, and the f purchase money been refused, then might* .to to pofneo rv.i vrnont #if thf? linnds ! without the deep disgrace whiclf she now brings upon herself and the country. But says Gov. McNutf, "The money paid for these bonds did not come into State Treasury." True; but how can that affect the liability of the State ? The money went just where it was the purpose of the State, and where the State directed that it should go, into the vaults of her bank. It was not the business of those who were lending the money to in. quire what the State intended to do with it. If she thought proper to misapply it nre those from whom she borrowed it to be the losers on that account ? In borrowing money from them did she consustitute them her guardians, and does she now deem them responsible for her spendthrift frillies? [s the obligation of a negotiable paper cancelled bv its passing, in some illegal transaction, from one fierson to another ? The traffic with slaves is illegal in this Srntc. Now suppose a hank hill to he passed in such traffic, would this release j 1?-ir?L- Irnm it? nhlinrnfinn fo nav tllP I r? I?" h?H, into whatever hands it might afterwards fall. Or suppose a fugitive from jmtice to pass a hank hill in payment of frriage, would this Ik; a valid plea for the hanks refusing to pay the hill when subsequently presented hv another person ? It would if the Mississippi doc- j trine lie correct. 4 A foirtii reason assignn I hv Gov. McNT. against piving the bonds is that j tne constitution of the slate forbids plcdging its credit for the pnvment of any i loan, unless the law for that purpose is first passed by both branches of the Legislature, is then published, and again passed by a Legislature elected after its publication; and this formality was not observed in regard to the law under which the present bonds were issued. The law, ( it is said, is therefore unconstitutional. It 1 is a remarkahc feature in this shameful j transaction, that the very man who urges I this reason, admits, in the very publica- i ? ?r_?_ t? ?. .1? . e_ i.: _u* i lion in wmcn ne urges n, wim u? iuui?eu, j as Governor of the State, signed this un- I constitutional hill * in obedience to the public irillalthough t e constitution allowed him to veto it. He then executed the bonds and passed them over ito the hank for the purpose of being sold. Was there ever more barefaced swindling, or a more impudent avowal of it ? The state issues bonds in violation of its constitution and then pleads this wrong in bar to the collection of these fronds. It obtains money by false pretences, and then pleads the very falseness of its own pretences asan excuse for not refunding the money. In all this swindling transaction the same individual was at the head of the State, and a leading agent in the affair; and now he has the impudent effrontery puhliclv tonvow the facts over his own signature. He says, too, that a majority of two thirds in each branch of the State Legislature sustain him, and adds moreover as follows: 111 firmly believe that four fifths of the people of this State prefer going to war to paying the bonds." This is the first, or at most, the second instance of any member of the Confederacy repudiating her own faith ; but it is an ominious fact that all condemnation of it bv the public press is confined to one of the great political parties into which the country is divided. All the papers of the other party which we have seen, from the Washington (}!ohe down, so far as they have expressed ai.v opinion at all, approve the course taken by Missis1X7** on ?t A/Mie.'A to Llin h\7 ft r "C ? uhj l.ifuiov luuvn "j "v. j j for we suppose from the statement published hy her Governor, as well as trom the issue upon which her late election turned, that she has determined upon her course. Judge Gantt has resigned his sent on the bertCh. In a well written, though brief, letter of resignation, he stated that his purpose of resigning was marie knhwn to his friends at the beginning of the Session. Wlitin his letter of resignation whs read in the House, Mr. RiiEdt rnovtid the following resolutions: Resolved, That the Legislature appreciate highly the motives Which have induced the Hon. Richard Grantt to resign the office of a Law Judge. Resolved. That as a testimonial of their regard for his person, and their estimate j Of his long and faithful public services, one year's salary of thirty-five hundred i dollars* he appropriated for his use, and be paid to him at tho adjournment of the Legislature. Resolved, That his letter of resignation be entered at length on the Journals of the House. The first and third of these resolutions passed unanimously; and the second, by a vote of 84 to 26. It is a tribute of respect and gratitude, honorable to the state as well us to the faithful public servant to whom it is offered. A child four years old was lately killed in a blacksmith's shop in New York by the smith's swinging round a bar of red C5 C hot iron from the forge and striking the ; child's neck with it. | * ' ' - ii " ? It will be seen by reterence to tne an. i struct of the proceedings in the House of Representatives, that the committee to whom had been referred so much of the Governor's message as recommends a change in the manner of trying slave?, charged wilh capital offences, reported against the change; and that the House by a decided majority sent back the re port, with instructions to reverse it. It is a reproach to the character of the state that the present mode of trying slaves was ever adopted, and especially that it has been continued so long.

A public dinner was given to Mr. Badger on his recent return home from New York, whither he had gone upon leaving Washington. The following is C3 D O ' * ..it.. an extract irom me report ny uie iv<tu.igu Register of the speech which he made ut the dinner. " Attempts have heen made. I know, sir, continued Mr. H, to discredit the state, ment in Mr. E wing's letter, of what passed in the Cabinet meeting of the 18th of August ; but I say here, in the presence of this enlightened and respectable company, on the responsibility of my own reputation for truth, of which none are better able to judge than those I address, that that state-1 ment is truo?in its leading and essential | fncrs, qbsolulelg tftie?in ail its dentils, * slanliaUy true. The Cabinet \Voulci not have been c solved, simply because tlto President ' toed the bank bills. Hi9 scruples, if s cerd, however unreasonable, and ev aiisilrd, Would have been entitled to te derness, if hot respect; and no memt of his Cabinet would have visited wi the harshness of censure the errors ol man who sought after truth with a w C? lingness to find, and a desire to embra it, merely because, through feebleness understanding, or early prejudice, he w disabled to perceive if. It was the wa of sincerity and ingenuousness-?of direi ness and candor?it was the disregard courtesy and respect?it was the mai festation of a vacillating and unstem mind?it was the want of that manlinr which assumes and avows it own9 erro and scorns by concealment or evasion visit them on others, that compelled t President's confidential advisers to aha don their position. Consider the circui stances ol the case tor a moment, a judge if this be not so. One bill havii been defeated he, himself, proposed an ther, and induced the members of I Cabinet to urge its passage. The I teas passed and sent to the President, i Did he sign it? Sir, after his Cnbir had induced their friends in Congress accept it as the olive branch of ppaco. not onlv did not sign it, but ho 9ent it ba< with scorn, as a measure that every o must have known he could not sanctin How then, sir, was his Cabinet situate The bill that they had been induced recommend was so repudiated, as, plain but indirectly, to exhibit the Cabinet false to truth, false to Congress, and fal o the country. What would be t loug of that master who, having commission his servant to make a purchase, uheu ifrer the execution of his order, deny t contract, and put him upon proof of I authority? Every man must percei that a total loss of confidence having t 1 _* Ken place, mere was an enu, ui untc, ill hope of rendering service to the? con try. Of the future conduct of the Pre dent, we could only judge by the pas and from that, what could we infer, bu disregard of all that was justly due to as his confidential advisers. Hisconuui 'hen, standing as it did to me, total without any explanation of its appare deviation from manifest propriety, a without any sufficient pledge for the I turn, left in my judgement noalternati but immediate resignation, unless I h been a miserable sycophant, willing retain office, tinder whatever circui stances of degredation. for the sake of emoluments arid power.
