Columbus Democrat. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 18??-18??, 1837-10-28
rHE COMING ELECTION.

Gently travelled through many Of lie Southern
aud Western counties. He gave US the most
cheering account Of the prospects Of the Demo
cratic part, every where. 10 the Chickasaw
counties, be assured usiha, McNuii wall get
much larger vote than claiborne and Gholson
did at the last election. He will run ahead Of
them IN Yazoo, Warren, aud some Of the cthel
western counties, and be viii at least equal them
in the East and South In Kinds and some Of the
other central counties. he may not run 50 well,
but any falling off there WILDE more than made
up BY the gam in the North. His election, our
informant seemed confident, is certain, by ma
jonly Of some five thousand. Such too Is our
opinion. Equally certain is the success of the
other state democratic candidates. Benson,
Saunders, Fall. and Thompson will all be cleo
by triumphant majortes, and there will be an
overwhelming majority OF Democrats returned TO
both houses of the Legislature, thus rendering
certain the election ola democratic Senator in
place Of Black.
But as bright as the prospect, aud certain as is
our success, if We but do our duty, we hope that
no democrat will be deferred from going to the
polls. Apathy aud too great confidence might
defeat rs even with a majority Of five thousand
on our side. Let Us remember that we have
drilled organized party to contend with-a party
active bold, wealthy and fruitful in exped~nts.-
The whole bank arstocracy is against us--he
power and influence of wealth is anayed against
the democracy Of members. Already are they
chucklng over their anticipated success, already
have they proclaimed their partial gains in the
north and the west, as amons Of the downfall of
the present democratic administration, and pre-
cursors of the speedy triumph of aristocratc
principles. Arouse, then ircemen of Mississippi,
and march To the polls on the first Monday and
Tuesday in November next. Mississippi ex-
poets every man to do his duty at this election
Vote the Democratic ticket, and show 10 your
federal opponents that you know your rights and
will maintain them-hat you hayo
"Heaits resolved and hands prepared
The blessings you enjoy to guard"
THEATRE.-Mr. CARGILL's Theatrical corps

gentleman attached to the company, has been
here some days fitting up the room, scenery,
&c. MIR. Carglll is ono of the best actors in the
southern country, and gentleman of unblemished
moral character: his estimable lady is rarely ex-

tee will be given Of the first performance.
