Mississippi Unrepresented at the Ertr0 Ses- sion-The Wings are putting on their armor in this State, and preparing themselves to maintain the ascendancy so gallantly won last November. They have nominated the Hon. David o. Shatuck, of Carroll Co. as their candidate for Governor-a man of great energy of character, purity of princi- ple and indOmitablc firmneSs and resolution. His is n singular history. Until the age of twenty .one, he wrought in the stone quarries at Chatham, Conn. went thence to North Carolina, thence to Tennessee, became a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church i; studied law; was admitted to the bar; came to Mississippi few years since; was elect ed by the people to the bench of the Circuit Court, which station he has for sometime filled with distinguished honor to himself and the State.

But, poor souls! they are reduced to a state of despe- ration. for they cannot find candidate who has any regard for his character, to mount the hobby they have saddled. Thomas H. Williams was their first nominee for Cover nor. Long and anxiously they awaited his reply, and when it came, such consternation! He believed the State bound to pay her bonds. and could mt yun. They have since been beating about the bush long while, in intellectual efforts to start a candidate. and believe they are about as far from the attain ment of that desired object as they were in January last. The party are also in the s0me predicament about a member of Con- gress. Albert Gallatin Brown, our Repre- sentative. or rather the Representative of the Loco Foco party-in the last Congress. on his return home. finding he would be obliged to advocate many uDralateable doctrines should he again become . candidate, reso- lutely declined to run on the ground of a
