- This word, as npplied toslavery pubhcations, has become of late, considerably out of use. We had utierly forgotten that we published an incendiary paper, until reminded of it by ilie return of one of ourpnpers by the Governor of Mississippi, which contaiued the proccedings of the last Connty Convention. They were forwarded to the Governors of the States, and members of Congress, agrceably to a vote of the meeting, and seem to have been acceptable- except in this case. His Excellency wrote on the wrapper as follows: "Jockson, May 16th, 1842. Gent. - Your incendiary print is herewith returncd. 1 am respecrfully, Your ob't. servnnt. T. M. TUCKER, Gov. of Mississivpi To the Publishers of the ) ' Signal of Liberty." We are sorry his Excellency is so brief in his communication. We should have been pleaaod to have had the specifications made, showing wherein our 'print' is so dangerously incendiary that he dare not retain it. But it is characteristic of '-'chivalry" to be araid of a newspaper!!
