ceived but he is too late this week. He
shall appear in our next.
T We are quite pleased to OBJ
serve that the Van Buren, men in this
State are getting at loggerheads with
each other as well as in the State of
New York. In the Democrat of Sat
urday is letter from L. A., BEsANCON
Esq. Editor of the Free Trader pub
lished in Natchez, in which one of the
Van Buren, candidates for Governor,
major B. w. Edwards,) is held up
to the people of Mississippi as anti Van
Buren, and a Bank-man. Major Ed
wards, if we are correctly informed, is
a gentleman of extensive influence with
the Van Buren, party, and will no doubt
prove thorn in the side of the self
made Democrats. Let them fight, say
we,-the Wings at the November E.
lections will have a better chance of
the ascendancy in the State.
He mhO EUes IN glass house
should neUer thr0oO stones" -The Ar
gus occasionally pirates about the incon-
sistency of the Democrats and their
candidates. What does it say Of Gen.
Acee? He is both bank and anti-bank;
opposed to the constitutionality of a
bank at one moment, the next, in favor
ola bank. A violent party man here,
a no party man in Copiah, repiler of
Gen. Jackson here, a prOfessed Gdmi-
rcr of the General in Newton: running
here as a nulllfer, and in other counties
on the democratic ticket. He has abused
notification, and now processes it.-I1e
has boxed every point of the compass,
and jumped Jim Crow better than the
Identical Jim could himself. Tit for
tat, Mr.. Argus.-Democrat.
five cannot say any thing more
''about the inconsistency of the Demo-
Gratis and their candidates" we will tell
the Democrat" "a paper published in
Columbus) what we can say. We can
say (aye and PrOUe it too) that some Of
the Democrats or their papers, have
wiIfully and maliciously misrepresen-
ted and illuminated Gen. Acee. That
paper asks vauntingly "what does il
the (Southern Argus) think of Genera
Acee? 2" We say sir, that we think he
is gentleman, against whose private
character the most vipdlctive, malice
and foulmouthed calumny cannot, ii
truth, utter solitary whisper; we thin
him gentleman who in point of EN-
lnent talent and ability is without a su
: Perlor, and in point ofopen and mani,
consistency in his opposition to the 10
; norant, corrupt and tyrannical cours
pursued by the late and present AID
minlstration is without an equal in tn
ranks of the opposition party in tn
State ofMississippi.
We think too that he is so regarded h,

: man OF so unblemished character. pri
:. waite and political, has ever receive,
y half the vituperation and abuse. whicI
z has been heaped upon him, by rockies
presses and unprincipled denagouDe,
we think further, that he cannot h
put down by such base means as hav
been employed to PROSTATE HIM. tn
time will come when he will rise To-
