OF Our Legislature meets on Monday next, and
'nirobile riSa! what concourse in the main, it
will be! It was charged upon wise one of the
last Legislature, that he moved ''that Alissis-
sippi declare war forthwith against Mexico be-
cause of her impudent opposition to annexation
May we not look out for similar effort with re-
ference to England! The self-styled 'antiBritish-
ere" in the Legislature, will doubtless, some OF
them, think itsncumbent upon Mississippi to take
that step. 1t will be fine plan to get some oft the
money paid to them, for manufactures. As the de-
mocracy is progressive, will not progression in
Reputation lead to this!


But, we hope they will leave the discussion of
national affairs to bodies, where it more appropri-
ately belongs, and set themselves to work in bet
tering the condition fittings at home. LetThcm
take up the subject of common schools, and de-
wise some feasible plan of educating the poor. Let
them, If they will not pay the debts of the State,
reduce. the taxes under which now oppres-
sed. Let them make proper disposition of theState
lands as to benefit the peoPle-pass premption
laws, &c.--graduate the price oflands, and spend
the proceeds of their sale in support of the COM

"WARs, AND RUmoRs OF WARs"--It was ru-
mored that Mr. Packenham, the British Plenipo-
tentiary, had been recalled, because oEhis unwise
policy in refusing Mr.. Polk's offer to divide Ore
gon and it IS said, that Mr.. Polk is confident OF
an 'amicable adjustment of the Oregon dispute,
thinking that the British ministry will accede to
his offer refused by Mr.. Packenham. The first
mentioned rumor has been contradicted, and the
last doubtless originated with some lying letter
writer from the metropolis. The published diplo-
matte correspondence between the plenipotentiar-
les the "high contending parties,'' shews that
Mr.. Packenham must of necessity Lave reflected
the known opinion Of has government, in his refu-
sal to accept the last OFFER which he did without
sss-tg to his government, for already had the
British government thrice refused to accede to a
proposition more consonant to their views than
Mr.. Polk's offer. Hence think the rumor all a
humbug.
