To THE Hon. ROBERT J. WALKER:


Dear Sir-With no ordinary feel
lngs Of pleasure, have we, portion Of
your fellow citizens, witnessed your rer
turn amogest us, after having rendered
such distinguished services in the Sem
ate of the United States during the
last and previous sessions: whether we
look to your untiring devotion TO the
local interests of Mississippi or your
strict adherence to the great and fun
damental principles of democracy, we
find abundant cause for congratulation.
During the alarming crisis through
which our country has just passed,
when the timid and those without fixed
principles had abandoned their posts,
we observed you still the faithful and
vigilant sentinel, still the worthy re-
preventative offreemen, in the hour of
peril manfully guarding the interests
Of your constituents, and nobly BATH
ing in defence Of the eternal and inn
mutable principles of free and equal
rights. Mississippians win long re-
member your indefatigable efforts in
securing to the State at differing peri
DDS, large sums of money for the inyal-
liable purposes Of education and inter-
nal improvements. The completion of
the contemplated rail road from jack
son to Alabama, for which you caused
to be passed through the Senate Il bill
making large appropriations, would ad-
vance the interests of Mississippi be-
yond our most sanguine expectations.


1t is true that the last Legislature Of
this State has placed by your side a
man from the ranks Of the opposition,
but their action has not yet received
the sanction Of that august and omnip-
otent Tribunal, THE PEOPLE, who
at the elections in November next, will
speak with voice DISTINCTLY AUDIBLE
to those representatives, who in opposi-
ton to the known wishes of their con-
stituents, and contrary to the doctrines
Of all free governments, that the peo-
pie should rule, voted for whig SEN
ator. Mere professions for the future,
will hardly satisfy an outraged consti-
tuency.


Prompted by such considerations of
your course in the Senate of the Uni
ted States and by the highest person
alregard, we would be grati6ed to meet
you around the festive board at such
time as may best suit J our ccntenience!


With considerations Of high esteem,


We subscribe ourselves
