In the Legislative election in the city Of

nate compromise ofprInciple in the election
Of S. S. Nicholas, "neutral" This was
effected by the lingering influence ola wan
ing aristocracy in that ciy-and one of the
worst kinds of ariStocracv. Il is not an
aristocracy of talent, or even of wealh-but
Of blood. II les few families of an
cient name and wasted fortunes but its in

Why is it that Mississippi still consents to
be chained to the tail of the car? While |
other States are calling upon talent and
pltrio,ism "tn come to the rcscue' in these
times of peril, why does Mississippi still
rely upon the treacherous Claiborne and
the agrarian loco foco Gholson? Bat il is
useless to ask the question. Things will
not mend until the people west of Pearl
River have the privilege of clecting one
representative of their own. Give us that,
and the Eastern counties, whose burthens
we bear and whose taxes we pay, may send
as many Fanny Wright Ghosons as they
please.
