SHEEP AND GOATS,

Van Burenism in these parts appears to have
lost its charm and influence, and it appears to
be disgraceful to be called Van Burenite.-
We last week very innocently applied the ep.
tibet Of 'wide-mouthed Van Burenite" TO a
qaG'ldona friend of ours, and we were really
astonished that so much offence was given BY
the remark. A few short months ago it was
very necessary, for any one who desired any
favor from our State or General Government
to be "friend of the administration or n
other words a ''s0Sde-moutHed Van Burenite.'
But times have changed, and the Van Burer
Office seekers and Office holders must be dis.
tinguished by some other appellation than the
name of the man who promised to "follow II
the footsteps of his Mustrious predecessor
We would be pleased to learn what title the
Van Buren, men now intend to adopt There
are, we are happy to say, but few of them IL
this County, and for fear they may be lost IL
the great crowd of Wings, we would advise
them to wear distinctiue collar that they NAV
be correctly identified and that we may here.

goats.

A SIGNIFICANT sIGM.

It viii be remembered that Judge Trotter
was first announced as candidate for the u.
States Senate at a meeting held in Fulsom
Oketibbeha Co. From certain proceedings
which lately have come to our knowledge
1t seems that the citizens of Oketibbeha are
becoming weaned of their affection for the
Judge, and that they have virtually said that
they do not desire his reelection. We have
learned from very good authority that meet
ing was held in Fulsom, after notices were dis
seminated far and wide explaining its obiecis,
which were to request the Hon. JOHN g.
SKINNER, a Wing, either to vote for Judge
Trotter or resign his seat in the Legislature.
The call for the meeting was responded to,
and It seems large number ofthe citizens a
Okedbbeha attended. The meeting was ddlv
organized and a motion was made for the al.
pointment Of Committee to report instruc.
tons, which, after some discussion faiisd =
Some Wing then moved that the meeting
adjourn, sine die, which was carried bv vote
Of three 10 one. We received this infornat;;oT

active part IN the meeting, and we have a
doubt ofits correctness.

NpNITED STATES obNA 4Oh'
" Some Of the wing presses have, We
think. imprudently committed tbemselve'
n favor Of Col. ADAM l.. BINGAMAN, 0
Natcbez. as the wing candidate for Uni
red States Senator to oppose Judge Trot
fer. There are others besides TIE Colo
mel who have claims upon the considera
ton of the wings, whose creed Of politics
has been more explicitly stated, and is
better understood than that of Colonel
Bipgaman. Among them we viii dosig-
nate JOHN HENDERSON. This gentleman
was one Of the wing candidates for the
Office last winter, and we understand it is
his intention to run again; and before our
wing brethren go too far in pressing the
CLAIMS Of Colonel Bingaman, it would be
well 10 pause and calmly canvass the
merits, claims, and qualifications Of both
gentlemen. The politics Of Colonel B.
are somewhat doubtful, and we have I'M
lderstood that he Processes to belong TO
no .party-at least, when he was elected
President of the Senate last winter, the
Globe and some Of the Van Buren, prints
in this State, contended that his election
was not a triumph to the wings. Mr..
Henderson's principles were fully set
forth in the letter he addressed to ecom-
mittee Of members Of the Legislature in
answer 10 the queries propounded by
them while the election of Senator was
pending, and we shall ere long take occa-
sion to rc-publish It. The residence Of
Mr.. Henderson, Hancock County,
is also considerably in his favor, VIII lie that
Of Colonel Bingaman would be decidedly
objectionable to the whigsin many sections,
and State would be more Justly repre-
sented than if both Of our Senators were
elected from tie City Of Natchez. We
are firmly persuaded that Judge Trotter
cannot receive tie same support he did
last winter after his repeated votes in IA
,ver of the Sub Treasury scheme, and his
support of Mr.. Wright's measure of pla-
. cling the whole revenue Of Government in
the hands Of Mr.. Van Buren, and his Sec.
rotary Of the Treasury, to manage as
annight please them, without any legal con-
troll. The people of Mississippi are op.
posed to all such stretches of power, and
they will rebuke those of their public SER
wants who thus misrepresent them. We
throw out these hints for the purpose OF
Leading the minds of our contemporaries
: to the calm consideration of the question:
which gentleman of the wing party will
unite the greatest strength and prove naos'
acceptable to all? When this fully ascer.
tanned, let us unite-onone of these and tri.
umphanty elect him.
