To The Editors Of The Democrat.
We had quite q treat in our little town yts:r-
day, such display oforaiory and logical reasoning
has never been witnessed III this place before. The
Democratic party gave dinner to the Hon. Judge
Augustus, to which all particswere invited the citi
from every part Of the county aud m fact from
the adjoining counties came in crowds to the place
Mr.. James NJ. MaScey, student Of the Institution
young man ofpromisng talents and fine exterior,
in beautiful and animated speech, which reflected
great honor on himself, welcomed the Judge TO the
town of Summervie, and appreciated his course
The Judge replied, and in PLAN and lucid manner
declared his sentiments to the satisfaction OF his
own party and even many Of the wings were well
pleased. The wing candidates seemed 10 be entire
" brow beaten, DR.. Moore gave them some Of lis
famous pills, which seemed TO sckcn them almost
/ to death. The Doctor is a candidate, and very
intelligent patriotic citizen, his address al Summer
vile may alnsst he considered his debut, it being
only the second time he has spoken, his effort was
noble one Many of the wings were cut to the
heart. The Doctors election is sure in Noyubec,
The wing candidates attempted to reply, but alas
they forgot to bring with them the thread Of their
discourse ono by the bye brought his along, but
was SO travelled that he could not get it fixed to
his notion, although he labored and beloved for
two hours The democratic party hung tohimto the
last, but the wings abandoned him in disgust an
hour and half previous to his conclusion When
all the candidates had got through urging theiI
claims, Major McNutt ar, Sc, the great Hercules o
Mississippi. ! never before heard such an appea
made 10 the reason of man! His speech occupied
two whole hours, yet 50 lar was lie from wcaryinl
his auditors, that many Of them declared theS
would willingly hear him two hours longer! Can
an intelligent community be SO lar lost to a sense o
their own interests, rs to be cajocd by any Wing
body ofwhgs SO as not TO vote for Major McNutt
They certainly cannot, they will not, the wings 0
Summervle declare they win vote for him
heard an old wing lin tacthe was nuLifcr TO thu
bone ana narrow declare he believed "all Maio
McNutt said, and he would certainly vote for him,
he is a man of considerable influence amongst H.,
wings, in fact Major McNuu is u "Rara Avis,
. sound politician, and Jeifersonan scholar. HI
cannot fail ofbeing elected hc is thoroughly verse;
d in the policy and history Of his country, man vii
starye to death who attempts 10 CLEAN alter him.
The Editors OF the Mississippi Star, whoare always
