Already Gov.

Brown aud Cot Lamar had arrived at this Mecca, and offered up their sacrifices; and now Col. Davis Is about to dedicate himself to bis "beloved Mississippi." There is a war of elements abroad, while the fire-eating orator within is breathing forth throatnings and slaughter. But when did mud and raio and storm of wind deter the untern-fied from gathering together to hear the words of wisdom drop like pearls from the lips of one of their SolonsT in spite of the elemental strife the House was full; and even a lady or two, in their anxiety to see or hear tbe Big gun of Democracy, found themselves in the crowd.

Conference of Jacksom, Nov. 17, lt3. Dear Whig: Conference met at 9 o'clock this morning. Dr. Drake in the Chair.

The venerable Piter James opened the Conference with religious services. The roll was called and an increased attendance answer! to their names. After reading the minutes of yesterday, tbe Conference proceeded to the examination of the character of applicants for admission into the traveling connection. Two or three were admitted. The name of J.

D. Shaw was ailed. He said he eould not say he would keep all the rules of tbe church, and specified the rules respecting the way of receiving probationers, dress, and expelling members, He said he would comply as far as usage and expediency would enable, but that would not be a strict compliance. Tbe debate was on the eompara tive claims of law and expediency. The dis cussion continued till the hour of adjournment without coming to a vote.

Tbis afternoon the committees in lay session meet in their order. While the Missionary committee was in session, a most interesting letter was read from Rev. W. Lambuth, who is a missionary from this conference to Shanghai, China- The letter was addressed to bis venerable lather. Rev.

10, 1859. A PaiNTra tbe Senate. Among the young men elected this year to the Legislature, is the Hon. John B. Cbriaman, the Senator from Lawrence and Pise counties.

He is a lawyer by pro. fession, and about thirty years old, just eligible to the seat be so worthily fills. Mr. Chrisman was raised a printer, "serving bis time" in the office of the Paulding Clarion. Self-made, he has risen to a prominent position in the legal profession and in the couricils of the State, by his native energy and force of character qualities that make the man, whether of high or low estate.

Directly hostile as be is to us ia his political views, we nevertheless take pleasure in bearing testimony to tbe evidence he has already given of a useful and enlightened legislator. Tbe following remarks in a late debate in the Senate, will show the character of the Fire at Friar's Point. The drug store of Dr. J. P.

Called by the people to exercise for a time tbe ch ef executive power of this Slate 1 ap near before you to take tbe oath of office pre Lribed bv the Constitution. Couformmg to Jne custom wbicb bas obtained on similar ocea In both Federal and State government. I propose, briefly, to present to you some of tbe principle, and policy to govern the administration now being iuau-eurated.

It were needless for me to say here, that I will obey the Constitution for that must be said by all who govern this pe ople, in a more solemn form than a mere public "J-clara-tion; yet it might be appropriate to dwell for a moment on this leading fcatire of the Ameri-ean system of governments. In the republics of ancient limes, unbridled majorities were olten unjust and tyrannical the most dt-s-potic dooming Jto death or banishment the wisest and best of their citizens at the capiiceof an excited populace. We, more fortunate, have our rights defined by a written organic law. which holds in check excited majorities of Legislatures and people, until the "sober second thought "comes to tbe aid of justice; and minorities and indi iduals may repose in safety as long as the people have intelligence and virtue enough among them to uphold the Constitution in letter aud spirit, fc.ii-tertaining these opinions, it shall be my studi ous care to obey the requirements of the Constitution, and to exert all the power given me as Governor to enforce obedience to its be-bests. For governments like ours, the intelligence of the people is tbe only secure foundation; without it, republics are but houses built upon the sand.

Tbe education or the youth should then be regarded as an object ot the first magnitude, to be promoted by the untiring efforts of those who govern the State. Upon oursuccess in this rest all the hopes that can bereasonably entertained of the stability of our institutions. An unwise government makes an unhappy and powerless people. An ignorant people cannot govern themselves wisely. For these rcasous it will afford me pleasure to co-operate with the Legislature iu giving that prominence which it justly deserves to the clause in our Constitution which declares that sel'ools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged in tbi- State."

A procession was formed at the Executive mansion in tbe following order: 1. A band of Music. 2. The Jackson Rifles. 3.

The Governor and Governor elet-t. 4. Tbe Committee of Arrangements. 6. Tbe Judges of tho High Couit and the Attorney-General.

6. Tbe State officers and other distinguiihed citizens. 7. Citizens and Strangers. The procession was under the command of Col.

James P. Sessions, as Chief Marshal of the day. Tbe House, after taking a recess of fiTteen minutes, was called to order by tbe Speaker, and on motion of Gen. Charles Clarke, of Bolivar, the Senile was informed that the House was ready to receive them, for tbe purpose of inaugurating tbe Governor elect. In few minutes the Senate entered the hall, and the President, Hon.

James Drane, ascended the stand. On the arrival of the procession at the Capitol, the Sergcant-at-Arms informed the Governor elect that the two houses were ready to receive him. In it few moments, tov. McWillie and the Governor elect entered the ball, and were escorted by the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House to the Clerk's desk. The President of the Senate called the assemblage to order, and introduced the Rev.

Y. Neely, Esq. t2fIt appears that Gov. (that is soon to be) Pettus is not the only Southern Executive, who has a crochet on the "gun question." Gov tan: It seems to me that the Legislature of Mississippi has always adopted, and seems still inclined to adopt, a parsimonious system of legislation towards printers. Upon every subject relating to the business of the printer -the printing of tbe laws and journals, and public documents emanating from this body the publication of advertisements which its action renders necessary, we are seized with the fever of economy.

Sir, I desire to be ecenomical, but I claim to know something of what economy is in this case. I am a practical printer myself, and I know that printers, as a class, are paid less for their labor, less in proportion to the good they I Brown, of Georgia, has recommended the estab Christian Advocate, tbe Kev.

Sunday we received the Jackson Ea Gesjut Smith's Condition. A despatch, dated November 10, in the New York papers of the 11th, says that err it Smith shows continued marks of insanity. No one is allowed to see him, but it is understood that he refers in his ravings to the Harper's Ferry matter, and supposes himself arrested. The Utica (N.

Davis can make; and it was very clear tbat there was a general feeling of disappointment both as to manner and matter. Both were common place. Nothing redeemed it but a few purple patches of classical allusions; the rest of the garment was very threadbare. It was the old story told already by Brown in very plain and manly words, and gleaning here and there out of the eloquent array of sentences put forth by Col. Lamar; but not half as well told by Col.

Davis as by either of the or hers. Judge Douglas came in for his full share of abuse, and the falsity of his principles and position to the faith of the pure Democracy very emphatically asserted. Tbe right to Congressional protection to slavery in the territories, based on tho Dred Scott decision, was roundly asserted, and the exploded paragraph of the "power coupled with the duty of protecting the owner in his rights" quoted to sustain it; a sentence in tbe opinion in that case having no more reference to slavery in the Territories than it has to slavery in Kamschatka. Colonel Davis declared the South would be recreant to itself if it did not demand in tbe Charleston Convention, the additional plank of protection the New York State Lunatic Asylum, where it acbieve, tnan any set or men in tbe country.

We learn that be it. very violent and has exhibited a disposition to commit suicide, and that an attendant keeps constant watch over him to prevent him from laying violent hands on himself. This result we bear attributed to the connection of Mr.

Smith's name with the Harper's Ferry affair, though many will regard it as the consequence of long-seated and marked disease. Mr. Smith is said to have a hereditary predisposition to insanity. His father, Peter Smith, though the possessor of an immense estate, and gation upon the Sheriff to advert lands sold for taxes, a most outrageous i in my opinion; and in various ways have cripp'ed the on that day. We presume the new Governor will be then inaugurated, although no action has so far been taken by the Legislature, looking to formal ceremonies on that day.

The law, however, requires, that when the Legislature is in session, the oath shall be taken before the two bouses. We presume, therefore, the new Governor will be inaugurated on Monday, in the hall of the House. Tbe inaugural of Gov. Pettus will be looked for with intense interest, and we shall lay it before ourreaders as early as possible. office.

What then is the remedy? There is a power yet untried which 1 believe can repress this con-Ilict and save tho rights of the South and the Union of the States. And that Is the moral influence of a united South, presenting an unbroken front in defense of their Constitutional rights, and preparing to resent further insult', and unyieldingly resist further ggrewionn. Let the South, wilbone voice, answer Mr fceward summons to surrender to his Black Republican dogma of equality of the n-Rro to the white man; and with mingled defiance and derision, say to bim llint on that they are willing aud to meet Mm iu argument Or in arms; and that the sectional banner be unfurls, inscribed with "Equality of Races," shall be met by the national banners inscribed "Superiority and Supremacy of the White Race." To' this banner will rally a million of tne white men in the North, and the cry of save this glorious Union will be in the Black Republican cump; and tin-uuhuuC the Northern State, that motive uer of self Interest, combined with jimifu and parrioti-in, will be awakened energy and activity; and before these, when thoroughly iiroiifcd, the leu iif of anibiiiow aud.fanaticisni mu.t go down. Let th- attitude of the South demonstrate to the Northern peoplt-that following the lead of Abolition chills will deprive them of all the advantages find emolument tiny now derive from an unrestricted commercial intercourse with the Southern States, and self preservation wiil compel them to retrace their Bteps and do justice to the South.

Will this course not en-iiniigertbeUuionT I'solemnly believe it will nut It is, in my opinion, the only course remaining to the South by which she can preserve benights and the'Uuion. But should it endanger the Union, must we stand still while our enemies are actively prosecuting a war upon us, and be deterred from adopting any vigorous measures of necessary defense by the tear that the form of that government mipht be endangered? Are we, iu the middle of the nineteenth century, tore-enact the stupid folly of thesuperstitious Ejrvptiausattheefreof Pe-lucium? When CamWe- ir-mdi Egypt and found it necessary to "take the city of Pfclu-cium before be could penetrate into the heart of the kingdom, knowing that only Egyptians defended the walls, he placed in front of his attacking columns many auimils held sacred by that people, and the Egyptian garrison, fearing to wound one of those holy animals, threw no dart, shot no arrow and the city was taken without a blow. If our strongholds are garrisoned only by those who hold the Union so sacred that it must not be endangered by any measuresof necessary self-defence; if no guu is to be prepared or fired at the advancing enemy lest it might jar some pillar of this gacred Union, the fate of i'elucium will be our fate, and the fate of Egypt muat be the fate of the South. The leaders of the "irrepressible conflict" have but to marshal their forces and march to a bloodless conquest. If the conflict is irrepressible, if a disgraceful and ruinous subjugation, or a triumphant resistance are the only alternatives offered us, my council is to begin now to prepare to meet it; and if peaceful means cannot prevent the meddling Yankee from laying hands on our institutions, repel their attacks by tbrce; and if the Union fall in the conflict, it will only crueli those who nre the authors of this strife.

I am atare that I touch rudely the most cherished sentiments of some of my fellow-citizens, who bave been taught to regard the Union as the paramount political ood, aud who believe tbat the Union cf these States cost all the sacrifices made by the siies of the Revolution. I draw a different lesion from the history of that couflict. The fact that looms up on our vision, great and palpable as a mountain, is tbis that "the battles of the Revolution were fought, not that the colonies might be united, but that the colonics might be free," and perish my name among men if ever I am found setting the form of the government above the freedom of this people. If the warning voice of the united South be unheeded; iftbe fear of losing the many advantages they now derive from this Union, be insufficient to restrain a sectional majority from manifesting their hostility to our institutions by the election of a Black Republican to the Presidency of the United States, I shall regard the institution of slavery so seriously threatened aa to justify and demand a calling together of all the States interested in its perpetuation, for the adoption of such measures as the representatives of tbe Southern States may deem neces gle of Thursday, and up to that time the Mississippian bad failed entirely for several days.

It is a matter of congratulation with all who think wisely for the good of the State and the prosperity of the people, that this noblest branch of human industry is at last receiving from the Government a part of that attention which it has always deserved.

And hopes are confidently entertained that the light of science will speedily be brought to the aid of the husbandmea throughout tho land, and many useful "tearless victories" will be won on that" field for the benefit of ail. Too much importance cannot be given to this subject; and the Legislature could hardly err in making the most liberal appropriations for it3 advancement. The most delicate trust conferred on the Executive, is that which brings to him ihe undivided responsibi ity (which he may not share with any other department,) of setting aside the judgment of courts and verdicts ot juries, and staying the execution of the criminal law. Believing that the pardoning power was given to the Governor that the ends of justice might be more surely attained, I shall ever keep this in view as tbe cardinal point to be aimed at in its administration Justice is beautilul, and it shall be done, if by searching I may find out. Among the most important powers conferred on the Chief Magistrate, is the veto power.

The intelligence and wisdom of the Legislature have rendered the exercise of this power of rare occurrence for several years past, and I indulge the hope that the unpleamt necessity for its interposition may not arise during my term of office. But should it become necessary by the presentation of legislation for my approval, which, ia my opinion is either unconstitutional or improvident, I shall deem it a duty which 1 owe to myself, to the people who have honored and trusted mc, and who have imposed upon me a responsibility to them alike with that of tbe Legislative department, for the passage of all legislation which is to effect their interests respectfully to ask the Legislature to reconsider it before it becomes a law. In regard to the system of Internal Improve ments in this State, now rapidly progressing to completion, I will only say that I co-operated as a legislator with those who aided them most; and I now, as Governor, tender my continued co-operation in any just measures which maybe devised for their advancement and completion. It seems but yesterday, when Mississippi was taunted with being behind her sister States in works of internal improvement; but, considering her age as a State oniy a few years will elapse before she is the foremost of all in this respect, as we hope one day to see her in everything that makeB a State great, prosperous and bill passed the Senate. asking attention to their advertisement, which will be found conspicuously displayed in our We hope the Legislature will not shift any responsibility on the question.
