Of the political friends OF our Representa-
tiyes, md that distinguished Wing acted
as Chairman of the meeting. The "cail,
numerously signed" to which the Chron-
icle refers, we presume has reference 10
The meeting in Lowndes county. That
call was made through State Rights pa
per, and was signed principally by Wings
of the Modification school, While the
democrats content themselves with ran
dom denuncations of the whole banking
system, it is the State Rights party that
are taking active practical measures TO re-
form the errors and abuses Of that system
We have reason to believe that the Wings
of Mississippi come much nearer the State
Rights creed than the democrats, and that
two thirds of the whole opposition are gen.
uine Nullifers, eminently orthodox in
their creed and practice. Previously to
the general election in November last,
public opinion had settled down on COL
Grimball, ia very worthy man, and gen.
erally understood TO be q genuine State
Rights man } as the opposition candidate
for Governor; but from some cause, he
took occasion TO introduce into his circu-
lar the old slang Of disorganizing, &C., and
boldly repudiated the remedy of the Null
lifers. Consequently, they withdrew in
a body from his support, and brought out
a candidate Of their own creed; preierring
to let loco foco land one too, in some res
poets, the most Objectionable of The partly
glide into the gubernatorial chair, rather
than tarnish or compromise their princl-
pies. Some time since, an article was
copied in the columns Of the Chronicle
from the Vicksburg Sentinel, in which 1t
was stated that the election stunned gen
orally on the opinions oflhe people in re-
lation to the validity Of the November
election. 1t was upon this. ground dis
tinctly, and not on the merits of Mr.. Clay
and a National Bank, that Mr.. Prentiss
presented himself to the people of Missis-
sippi, and on this ground alone will Mr..
Prentiss take his seat. The State Rights
men generally voted for the members
elect, and indeed some Of the democratic
party, while many Of both refused to vote
at all, because they believed that the No
vember election was in conformity with
the Constitution and laws Of this State."-
The truth is, the April election involved
the most important question ofState Rights
ever submitted to The people, and the Multi
fers needed not the influence oil "Biddle
and the Banks" 10 induce them to rally in
support Of their principles, and in opposi-
ton TO the democratic candidates" And

and circumstances, the Chronicle denoun.

the Nullifers side by side with the Hart

this has originated in difference ofoPin'
ion, "upon a subject so utterly worthless
as how the poor lucre of this government
is to be deposited" The Chronicle seems
to have assumed to itself the important
station Of monitor in the State Rights
school, and has established the Sub Treas.

does not fippantly comply with its test

is expelled and denounced as federaist,

unkind and imprudent;- may divide, but

Aword in relation to the correspondent
Of the Chronicle, who writes over the sig.
