meet the appreciation of the people Of j
crson, we believe, of both parties.
We have heard nothing from PnuIp
HuGHEs, Esq. Where is he? and what a
his views rpon this interesting snhecR
Col CLARE's reply will be found in o.
columns to-day. II is a bold, oaergca
production--and worthy his he ID and hear

TIss and Word will be the Only Whig can
didates, arounl whose STANDARD the friend,
of our common cpun'ry Throughout he Stat,
nro invited TO rlly. The time is drawing
nigh when the voice of the people will be
spoken in relation 10 their claim; nnl all
who value their interest, and tho happiness
and prosperity of the country, are earnestly
impIored to act with reference 10 the re-
salt Of this important election. Who that
has been schooled in the republican faith of
our heroic sires, that will not be found at
Blnnockhurn on that interesting occasion,
armed with the sword of trith and Justice,
contending for the rights of the people, and
determined to erect aud sustain the banner
of public liberty and national prosperity
Or where is the Whig who intends to i'm
molate his long cherished ciples-for-
sake htsPlrry--viuiuto h;s patriotic ohliga-
tons to wounded coNntry-and support
men who are stllidenifed with those whose
political transgressons have delayed the
nation in sorrow and oppression, for their
own aggrandizomcnt2
We believe that too much Of the patrio,
blood of oar revolutionary fthers courses
through the veins of the in1exlble Wing, to
tolerate his forsaling the cause Of the coun-
Try, and going over to the standard of the
enemy, at an lera so peculiar in our p Utica
annals. Well might the spectrcd ruins of his
neighbor and The diapidated fortunes of his
native land, like the ghost of Banqlo, haunt
the sleeping and waking moments, and dis
turb the mind of one so recreant 10 public
duty and TO the great principles with which
he processes to be indoctrnated. Bat we
fear that the apathy which has been so fatal
to the Wings in previous elections, will again
prevail in our ranks. We hope that our
friends will exercise becoming zeal and in
dustry in endeavoring to infuse liberia
spirit and patriotic interest relative to the
effects the result Of this struggle NAV exert
upon the tone of Congressional deliberation
as well as the future destines of Mississip-
pi. Having nothing to hope from orr enc
mics, "the interest and honor of the people
demand" "uncompromisng hostility" to
their principles and elevation.
CLAIBORNE AND GHoLsov..-Congres
having decided in favor of the extraordina
~ claims of these gentlemen TO seat in the
House for the whole term of the next Con-
gress, we are informed that they intend to
keep their seats, whatever NAV be the feel !
lngs and wishes of the people upon that sub
Ject, or the impression under which thew
voted. Their attitude demands the "une-
qnivocaI expression of public SENTIMENT"
and we hope thatthe voice of the multitude
viii proclaim in their ears a signal lesson
to dishonesty and criminal disregard of
their obligations TO the popular will.
