The Argus and its correspondent appears
to take especial delight IN calling tne oemO.

tits more than two years ago that we were
introduced to Mr.. Butler,-and, according %
the customof the country he was made known
to Us a. "PorsOn Bustlsr.' By this apPeIatOn
he Is known throughout the County, and BY i |
he Is usually addressed. The Editors q the
Democrat know very wen that we do NOT
consideFita .reproach for man to pc pro-
lessor ofrehgion.r He also knows that WehaVe
no other feelings towards Mr.. Butler than
that Of highregard, and that only as pohnclan
we attack him. We wish It however to be
distinctly understood that we are opposed to
Preachers becoming Legislators; and, IN our
opinion scramble for political ascenden-
cy, by minister of the Gospel does not at all
con1port with the sacred duties Of the desk
It is PROCLAMATION Of the sacred ofice---and
unity Of the duties Of preacher and politician
is much more Objectionable than that Of Re-
preventative and Bank Director.
The Democrat asks how much we get for
putting the Real Estate Banks. As the ques-
ton is a civil one, we answer: Nothing.
The people of Lowndes county well know
that SErH PEBBLES, the Wing candidate is a
Stakeholder in the Real Estate Banking Com
pany Of this place, and we are surprized at the
ignorance the Democrat affects to show IN
regard to this fact.
The Mississippian has commenced putting
Mr.. Butler, and says:
"With such men as Mr.. Butler In the Le-
| gislatue, the country has nothing to fear
| The people will be relieved from a continue
ton of rotten monetary system"
1t is possible that Mr.. B. win vote for re-
peal of thep present banking system of the State,
while he is so largely interested in its eontin.
uance!
"With sound legislation we can have SOUND
currency, and with sound currency Missis
sippi must be one of the first States in The
Union. Jackson MississiPpiGn.
With unSOund legislation for years by the
Jackson Van Buren, party both in Congress
and the State Legislature, the State is nearly
ruined. A CHANGE OF RULERS is nov
our only remedy, and it behoves every man t.
oppose those who have brought us to this pass
Believing that by continuation of the presen
men in the Legislature, matters viii becom
worse than they now are, we oppose Samue
Butler.
The Bill ITO confirm certain purchases c
the public lands in the State of Mississippi
passed the United States Senate on the IT
inst. It had been under consideration in tn
House on the.llth. 1t viii undoubtedly pas
E Mr.. Prentiss is warmly in favor of it, and WI
probably make speech in support of it.
The Jackson Mississippian says:-"Me
aCiu not act for the public interests in this mat
ter, when their fortunes are involved in tn
fate of the banks"
) The fortune of Samuel Butler or a larg
part oft is involved in the fate of the Tombig
a by Bank. If the Mississippian's apothegm
: true, why should the people of Lowndes Cour
!. ty send Butler to the Legislature! To betra
the "pubic interests" and legislate for his ow
benefit!
