that they don't believe what Claiborne

those men we style disguised AbOlitionists;
lone who believes that the institution Of
Slavery is great moral, social and politi-
Cal evil. This fact we learned from one
! of Mr.. Tothill's warmest friends. II
proof be wished, il can be had. If the
people OF this county are willing to confde
their political destiny into the hands of a
man who abhors their institutions, an
emigrant from Ireland, who is not, we are
told, even a citizen Of the United States,
we pity, indeed, our native county. If
she has not men nurtured in her bosom,
bold and independent enough TO shield
her nteles and protect her honor, shall
she send to Ireland to procure O'Connelrs
minions, men who detest the institutions
Of the South, who regard them as morally,
socially, and politically wrong; yes, shall
such creatures as these be appealed to for
their guardianship? If so, LEI us lower
OR colours and captuale to the Adolf
Gonists at once. AT this crisis we want no
such men among u.s. The South should
be purged of them. We want no men
here who will denounce the Abolitionists,
and ct secretly rejoice at the consumma-
ton of their hellish schemes. As for the
other editor, rumor says that he TOO is an
Abolitionst. AT least he has been strong
ly suspected Of being one by gentleman
at whose house he resided, we think, last
year. We did not intend TO divulge these
facts until we observed the Boosting tone
they assumed, we presume, because our
good democratic Sheriff, Clerk, Ranger,
&c, has thrown all their patronage into
the office of the Planter. We advise that
press TO be Of good cheer. That source
Of their JOY will soon be dried up
Thickwoods, Toler's and Liberty, will be
wide awake in November, 1889. A few
words could have changed the face of
things last November. We have not for
gotten the democratic tickets that were
scattered among US, neither do we intend
to forge, them. The Wings ofThickwoods,
ToIer's and Liberty, voted for demo-
cratic Sheriff, while we saw no such lbcr-
atty pervading the precincts of Talberl's,
Zion Hill and Spurlock's. G.

are they, that we should be afraid 10 ''butt

call upon the Planter TO stick up to its
professions, and condemn the dram-drn-

good axiom in morals as well as in poll
tics, that man should practice what he
preaches-that if he condemns a practice,
he should condemn the one that INDUCES
the practice. That McNutt is sot, no
one that knows any thing of the man will
deny. We all know that when he visited
this place last year, he was continually
wetting his lips until he got drunk. His
portly belly was the most con ;picuous

presumptuous to speak of men in high

Not until a few days past have we cas-;
our eyes upon the Planter Of the 10th
instant. We were little amused to no.
,ce his remarks in reference to our edi-
torial article asking ami humbly praying
for little light upon the subject of Fed
eralsm and Secession. The Planter char
ged the Amite delegation with voting for
a Federalist for the United States Senate,
viz: John Henderson. We pronounced
it at the time falsehood, and instead of
the Planter sustaining the charge, he has
acknowledged that he knows nothing about
it. We we're quite certain that the Plan
ter knew nothing of Mr.. Henderson, and
he has truly confessed his ignorance by
saying, "D zoe are wrongly intormed," &C.,
we believe are the words used, paper
that would positively assert such charge,
and afterwards qualify it by saying that
it was merely informed so, deserves the
contempt and execration of all honest
men. The mos, amusing part of the story
is, that his remarks upon the subject are
divided into three distinct articles. AS
for ourselves, we confess that we would
have been puzzled in dividing nothing into
three parts. Towards that print we can
not be angry; we only pity its stupidity,
and will say, Lord forgive il, for it knows
not what it does. G.

We're it not for the vulgar, braggado-

its coarse, low-bred aspersions upon the

to feel ourselves above the reach Of their
vulgar missiles. As men, we knOw them

"The time is gone," says the Planter,
"when the Advocate can miSrepresent
with impunity." If the print means that
personal fagellation will curb the Advo-
cate, we would merely remark, that the
author Of the article alluded to was in
Liberty the other day, and saw no such
disposition manifested. We do not be-
lieve, however, that it was actuated by
any such presumption. In allusion TO the
charge that our Governor was led out of
ball room, the fact is proved by its no
toriety where the disgraceful conduct oc-
Cured. To satisfy, however, the public,
and not the Planter, for we care nothing
about the editors Of that journaD we will
state that the Chief Justice Of this State,
stated TO one Of the editors Of this paper,
during the session Of the Legislature, that
Mister Alexander G. McNult was led out
Of ball room in Vicksburg for vulgar and
indecent behaviour. The Chief Justice
of this State lives in Vicksburg, where
the scene occurred, and Of course ought
to know all about it. We dislike very
much to have mentioned the name of so
distinguished an individual rs the one to
whom we have alluded, without first con-
sulting his feelings; but we feel fully as
sured that he will not be backward in dis
seminating a fact that will damn to eter-
nal infamy the distinguished" hero Of
the Planter. We have more still to re-
veal about this distinguished" man, which
is equally susceptible Of proof. G.
