r. Trotter was elected for tho uncxpired
term, and it appears he was not popular
even with his own,party, but our neighbor
of the Advocate voted for him then. lie
was one of the twenty-five who voted for
Henderson, and will show his consistency
by sticking to him, though not for voting
for him at first. This GRAVES is ayow.
eddy nullifer-a Bank man, Wing,
&c. &c.--and proves his consistency by
supporting for Senator of the u. States. a
man that he says is sEcEDER. Mr.. Hen
derson was supported by the whole dele
cation from this county. Judge E. Smith
holds the same doctrine, therefore, was
more consistent in his support of Hender-
son, than either our senator Jehu Wall, or
GRAvES-concerning his opinion, Mr..
GRAVES says:
"Mr Henderson is an open and avowed
seceder. Judge E. Smith and Jehu Wall
can both attest the fact. Mr.. Heender-
son visited the room of the Amite county
delegation several times during the ses-
sion. He made nosecret Of his political
sentiments"
Mark the consistency-the Liberty
Advocate says the whole delegation were
elected as State Rights men, and they all
vote for a seceder, man whose popularity
was such as to gain for him 25 votes out
OF ll9 polled, and holds political doc
trine that if carried to effect must tear
this union to pieces; those who supported
him knew this, for GRAVES says "sEcEs-
SION is ipso facto DISSOLUTION of the u
nion." Verify! the Wings must be hard
run for candidate. They say they can
not elect A. L. BINGAMAN, for he is of the
Boston school of Federalsts.
But to mend the matter, s. s. Prentiss
must be brought out, his name is now a
mongst the names of the Wing candidates.
Will he suit the people of Mississippi as
guardian Of their interests9
The Washington Chronicle, one of the
most consistent and talented State Rights
papers in the U. s., gives US the following
article, which deserves the attention of
Mss;ssippians-read and Judge:
MISSISSIPPI REPRESENTATIVES.
We ca,not enter into controversy
with the Liberty (Mi.) Advocate as to the
policy pursued b. portion of the State
Rights party in the late election for Rep
resentatives from thai. State. We have
already expressed our OPTIONS on the as
signed reasons for the result Of the cleo
ton by no means implying censure of the
party, much less criminal delinquency as
to principles. 1t suits the purpose of the
Advocate to give false color to our re-
marks land to assail our motives and con-
duct. We shall decline to furnish 1t with
any further pretext for Misrepresentation.
If the Nullifers Of Mississippi are satisfied
with the course of Mr.. Prentiss, il will on
ly show that they are not now that which
they have been. For Southern mana
