A word or two for Claiborno ,n,o,

gotten their arguments submitted hh.
Committee last July, stating that the Usnls
OF tins State knew, when they were volin,
tor them. that they would hold their sco,,
Tor the two years? A mos; unbIusbipo
lalsehood. Have they forgotten Their
statement that the press Of this State %.
knowleiged that the men elected in Jnly
would hold their seats for lhc two wears,
The press pronounce this false. Nave
they forgotten their insulting addres, I'd
the frecmen of Mississippi, in whichni
stated that "nine tenthS" of the pennpd
this State vo'cd for them, knowing finn
they would hold their seats for the ,uo
years? The people THEMSELVES can Dro.
nounce this statement an impudent and
insulting ialsehood. As for Claiborne no
can be guilty of any thing. The plJ.
lie are well apprisel Of his perflols and
hypocrltical course last summer. In
Lowndes he run as an anti Bank man.-
In Hinis, Madison, &c. he repeatedly de.
cared that National Bank was nccesso.
~ and expedient, AMI that he would voc
or an amendment Of the Constitution,
with the view Of establishing one. These
acts can be proved by his own letters aai
certificates Of men as respectable as the
'ate can boast Of And now this harden.
ID demagogue has the ;mpudence to talk
bout the danger Of National Bank
VIA the ireemen of this State tolerate
uch hare-iaced dupliciry? Win they
uPport this shameless miniun? The hon.
's'y Of the country must damn him for his
Inconsistency, duplicily. and the reckless
p'rIt Of mendacity displayed by hin IN
he recent contested election. As for the
ther "democratic' candidate, Davis, We
ave seen The gentleman. If lie is dislin
pushed Tor his talents, he has kept tia
rolound secret; no one has ever heardM
l. we publish TO The people Of Amite that
JdotS has not b en- a citizen # Mssissr
mre than t,O1 gears. Let them mole
his fact. As for Pfen,iss and Word, jus.
Ice pleads their cause. They have been
'gaIIy and consti;utionaly cIeceJ to an
ihce, from which corrupt Congress has
hrust them. They ask the reemen OF
he State 70 accord to them that oth,e 10
Inch hoaesty proclaims them entitled
he Governors writ in July, was el'
Ter constitutional or unc mstitutiondi.-
It were c0nStitu' ional at all, it could nd
'nter seat upon Claiborne and GholsoN,
n longer period, than that specified 10
he writ, which was to last during the call
session only. Taking this horn OF The
lemma Claiborne and Gholson had no
ght TO their seats for the two years
n the other hand if the writ were uncon'
tational, every man Of common sense
II announce, at once, that Claiborne and
nolson had no more right to take seat
