We regret that it has become our duty
to announce the death OF Z Z. MAYSoNl
ESQ. Of Jackson. He was native OF
South Carolina, and defendant Of tam
ily Of the highest respectablity. Ho was
educated in New Haven, Connecticd,, after
which he returned to his nauye state
and was honored with seat IN the lower
branch of the Legislature.


About six or seven years ago, Mr. Ma
son came to this State, aud established the
first State Rights paper published IN the
great Valley Of the Mississippi At the
commencement Of this enterprise, he had
strong and obstinate prejudces to encoun-
ter. The old State Rights doctrines Of
Jefferson, Taylor, and Madison, were al
most totally lost sight of, except in the
State of South Carolina, and she stood as
.'one crying in the wilderness" the victim
OF the denunciation, detractlon, and hate,
for her principles, of even her Southern
sisters, which if she had sunk, must have
inevitably perished with her. Under az
these disadvantageous circumstances, Mr.
NJ. having to endure the preJudlcos whlch
existed against his native State, and her
political opinions, he continued to sustain
his paper. with much industry and ability,
until he was elected State Treasurer. On
being elected to this office, whose duties ne
continued faithfully to discharge until his
dea.h, he sold his press, there being nearly
ono half of the papers in the State, at the
time, advocating the State Rights doc
trines.


1t must have been gratifying TO Mr.. NJ,
to have lived long enough to see his prln.
ciples, ifnot IN the ascendant IN the otate'
certainly sustained by strong party
Woodrilie Republican.
