DEMOCRATS AND STATE RIGHTS MEN

DEMOCRATS AND STATE RIGHTs Men
DO YOUR DUTY. .f,
1t will be seen by reference to an
other column that Brown and Read OF
Copiah Woodward of Yazoo, and Skin
ner Of Octibbeha, have resigned their
seats IN the Legislature, and that cleo
tons will shortly take place to till the
vacancies. 1t now becomes the duty
of every republican in those counties
10 do his duty TO his country and the
constitution. This is a momentous
crisis in the cause offree principles and
the rights Of the people.
/ Let all local and personal attachments
be thrownaside, and let this be astrug-
gle for principle and the public veal.
Let the republicans ofCopiab' Yazoo,
and Octibbeha come TO the rescue, and
wrest the State from the grasp OF fed
eralism and bank rule. Let the advo-
Gates of sound currency, the oppo-
nents ola United States Bank and ar
lstocratc oppression, rally around the
democratic principles of Jefferson.
This is no time for divisions and person
al chickering's. Let union and energy
be the watchwords of the opponents of
. shinplasters and federalism.
4 If these vacancies are filled by deni-
ocrats United States Senator will be
; elected, who will represent the true
!, interest, principles and feelings ofthose
} people; but if, through apathy or diyi-
I sion our opponents are elected. then
willthcse people be misreprescnted in
the Senate of the United States, and
their rights and interests sacrificed to
; thc federal abolitionism of Clay and
w ebsier. 'e
Let no friend Of truth and bis coun-
I, try stay at home on the day OF election
in Hose counties; let him remember
that, perhaps the fate Of the cause OF
. democracy rests upon his single vote.

states, that for certain local and private
reason, Robt. L. Lyle, Esq. will be

We shall see Mr. Morris superseded
with all our heart. His speech during
the last session of Congress, bespeaks
to Observation-Disclosures Enquirer.
We say amen to the above, with all
our heart. Mr.. Morris is the only dem

with abolitioism and we wish to see
him turned out. We would even
prefer wing to an abolition democrat.
We want no such men in our ranks.

Sir:-I have received the petition Of
many respectable citizens of Iazoo

tried you0 praying the Executive to
extend his clemency and pardon you
of the crime of Manslaughter. lregret
thatit is your misfortune to have been
guilty Of staining your hands with the
9boold Of one Of your fellow creatures,
but the papers you have caused to be
laid before me, show no extenuating
circumstances. The immense number
of homicides committed in our state,
and especially in Yazoo County, re-
quire that examples should be made,
and that all should learn that the free
use of Pistols aud Bowie Knives will no
longer be tolerated. Pledged as | am
to the people of the State, to put down
the assassin practice Of carrying dan
gerousweapons and using them IN slight
provocation, ] cannot pardon you in

REASONS FOR BELIEVING THE BIBLE TO BE
THE WORD OF GOD.

Young persons among all denomna-
tons of Christians would do well to commit
TO memory the following reasons in support
ofthe authenticity Of the Holy Scriptures;
with the view to forify their minds against
the objections of inhdels.
l. Because what we learn from the nat
ural world Of the existence, power, wisdom
and goodness Of God, agrees with what the
Bible states of them.
2. Because book like the Bible was
much needed, to make the will of God
more clearly known to man, than nature
alone could do.
8 Because holy men were inspired to
write, without error or mistake, those truths
and facts with which they were previously
acquainted, or which had been made known
to them by the Holy Spirit.
A Because the accounts given in the Bible
by various writers differ from each other
so far as to prove that they had not con-
suited together, and yet agree in the main
particulars, so harmoniou as to prove
their truth.
5. Because fulilment ofmany prophecies
proves that the Bible contains the truths
of God.
b. because many miracles that weF
wrought proves that the Bible contains Q
re -ligion which comes from God. a
7. Because the account which the Bible
gives of the condition of man, agrees with
his real state all over the world.
8. Because the subjects contained in the
Bible were so very acceptable to tI e friends
of religion and SO very objectionable to its
enemies, that under such contending cir
cumstances, nothing but truth could have
been preserved.
o. Because the original copies of the
Holy Scriptures were the Oldest books in
the world, and our English translation has
been made with CRATE care and faithfulness.
10. Because the religion of Jesus Christ,
as contained in the Bible, bestows the
greatest benefits on all persons who believe
in it, and live according to it.
