To JACOB THOMPSON, ESQ:


SIR: The undersigned, members OF
the bar of the Eighth Judicial District
Of the State of Mississippi, believing
that in the distribution Of important
State Offices, the northern part Of the
State has a right to expect that, at least
a portion of those offices should be
conferred on persons risidlng in that
part of the State; and believing that
YOU are highly qualified to discharge
the duties of Attorney General, an Of
fee which it will be the duty OF the
people Of the State to fill at the ensu-
ing general election, unanimously re-
quest, that you will permit your name
to be run for that Office.
The undersigned feel confident that
YOUR compliance with the above re-
quest will meet the appreciation OF a
large portion of the people OF this
State.

TO THE PEOPLEOF LoWNDES
COUNTY.


Next Monday and Tuesday, the l7sh
and 18th days Of July, you will be cal
led upon TO exercise that inestlmabe
right of expressing your opinions
through the balIot-box.-Two sets OF
Candidates are before you.-One sett
is composed offs. s. Prentiss OF War
rem County, and Gen. E L. Acee OF
Lowndes County, gentlemen in every
sense of the word, talented and Patrl-
otto. They profess opposition to the
measures which have brought our State
to the verge Of bankruptcy. They OPP
pose the Treas ury Circular. and ifelec-
ted will vote for its repeal. They
have always opposed the mad project
of establishing in this country ar exclu-
sive specie Currency, but will go heart
and hand for measures which will re-
Iieve the people and bring back the
good old times.
Who have we on the other side?
Mr.. Claiborne and Col. Gholson, young
men who but lately have been known
in public life. They were elected to
Congress and served a short time, but
they were found wanting. They had
learned some school-boy speeches with
which they consumed the time of the
House. The public business was neg
lected and time and money lost by their
empty and pointless 'long talks
What have they done? Can any one
put their fingers upon any one act
which they originated for the benefit of
the country? We answer no. Let
us have no more drones in Congress,
but let the people come out next Mon
day and Tuesday and vote for Prentiss
and Acee, the settlers and the farmers
friends,-the incorruptible patriots and
the enemies of the Specie Circular
To the polIs-aad victory is ours.
