Dear Sir - perceive by the Courier that tie
fact of the Free Trader not putting up the name
Of JUDGE TRorTER for reelection to the U. s..
Senate, has been the cause Of that PRINT lnsinu,.
ting that unanmity Of feeling does not exist n
the Democratic party relative tie the reelection If
this distinguished gentleman. In a package of
editorial articles forwarded you from Vicksbug
wasSone headed q" Democratic Contention" In
that article recommended that the conventions
or primary assemblies in each county be holden
durg the sitting Of the circuit courts, and that the
| State convention should be holden at Jackson,
on the Sth Of January, day consecrated to
| American Libelty--a day Hilch enclrcled the
brow Of the great retired chletaln and statesman
| Of the Hermitage with bright halo of glory,
she'd unchanging lnstre upon tie American arms,
and secured The "second indReqdcncc" of this
magnificent Republic =
The advantage to be derped BY holding the
county conventions during tn, sitting Of the cir
cut court is obvious. As nrge number OF peo
pie would be assembled upon business, a ruer
expression of the public voice could be obtained
than perhaps at any other period stated. that
Judge Trotter's name had not been announced,
because we were DESTROYS Of placing the matter
before the convened Democrats Of the colnt~ol
Adams, and herald their voice forth to the yoHd'
AS the period for holding the convention n Adj
ans on account of this accommodation you'd
very property be postponed ulI November, md as
Col Bingaman was already in the field y the
Federal Bank candidate, we would Immediately
place the name Of Judge Trotter at the head of
our columns Col. BIngaman is known as
Fcderast, and in favor of unrestricted banking
both by authority of the State and National egls.
lalres, while Judge Troiter has proved BY his
votes in the Senate, that he is w6ftiNshc support
of every true hearted Democrat,
II the article | naned comes tosband, please
publish it and hoist tho name of Jadgo Irot6r at

Slavery in England is of the worst character.
The poor white laborers pay taxes for everything
they eat or drnk--the light Of day and tic air
they breathe. Every thing is taxed--kLowedgo
is axed--ignorance is taxed--poyerty escapes
not from taxation, and the living and dead are
taxed. For what purposel That spoudN
government may be supported. that the .weAltAgV
may have power, and subdue tho g[egt mass ots
the oppressed. NNM III.
