GgN. DAvls.-Ths gentleman who is FIRMLY
united to tho Democratic party, and zealousy de-
voted 10 the institutions of the South, has yelled
TO the sole citations OF his friends, and become a
candidate for Congress. No man IN Mississippi
has been more unwayerng in his political con-
duct, and none deserves better of the people Tor
his defence Of their rights, under all and every
circumstance. Throwing off all reserve, and dis
cardng every minor and personal consideration,
he has iearlessly taken up the gauntlet in defence
of the peoples interests. Wherever the battle
has waxed warmest, there we have found Davis,
tho Ajax Of tho peoples cause. II FederaI's's
with their motives, consolidation and tyranny me-
naced them, Davis was first to repel the assault
Did Aboltlonists light up the torch aud with de-
moniac malice apply il to their dwellings, DAVIS
was first 10 extnguish it. Did Clay, Webster,
& Co. form an unholy coalition against the union
Of the States and the rights Of the people, Davis
was first 10 expose il. For twenty years, he has
banled for the rights Of free people. lie dd It
not Tor pay but for palriot'sm-not lor once Ou1
principle. Now he mas reluctantly yielded to
place his name before them that q grateful people
may testify their regard for this veteran IN their
service by giving him their votes at the ensuing
April election. People of Copaa, Of central MIS-
sissippi, will you stand back, when the North, the
South, the Fast and the West, are rallying to The
rescue. Let all who feel common interest III

The THEATRE-Our old friends Cargill ana
Grace, have returned and are playing TO crowded
houses. We attended on Wednesday night last,
and were delighted with the performance. The ex-
celent drama, entitled "The Hunter ofthe AIMS
was played in a style which would have done credit
to any of the Northern Theatres, and the farce of
the WeatheTcok was good" in every part as the
uproaruos, laughter and applause which it elected
| from the audience evinced. A first rate band of
music enivened tho intervals between the different
parts ofthe plays. The proprietors richly deserve,
as we are happy to state they are meeting with, the
liberal encouragement and patronage Of our citizens.
They have gone to great expense and trouble in fit
ting up their room, and have exhibited much taste in
the arrangements and dccorations.-Neat and COM
Portable boxes have been prepared for the ladies. In
deed we have been told that the room presents de-
cidedly better appearance than any Theatre in the
State.
The Boxes, we were happy to perceive, were
filed with Ladies. To night will be performed the
admirable Comedy of How to Die for Love-" the
entertainment to conclude with the laugable farce
of"Age Tomorrow" with great variety Of sing
ing
CT Mr.. Kenworthy, the unrivaled VentrIoqust,
we learn, will be here in few days, and give addi-
tional interest to the amusementS of the season.

GEN. BRowN's LETTER.--We must call the
readers especial attention to this eloquent pro-
ducilon which appears in our columns to day.
We have been guilty of an apparent injustice to
Gen. Brown in delaying to publish ii so long. 1t
was not our fault. The Southern Star in which
il originally appeared was mislaid or taken out Of
Our Office before wo could use il, and we have
not, until this week, been able to procure paper
containing the letter. We publish it now with the
utmost pleasure. Perhaps it is fortunate that we
did not lay it before our readers at an earlier day.
1t will be fresh in their minds at the election and
must on that account have better effect. The
democratic party will not forget Gen. Browns
patriotic course on this occasion He has acted
nobly, dsinterestedly, and for one we bid him al
hail !! He is just the man whom the people vii
delight to honor.

Extract Of a letter from distinguished citizen Of
Carroll county, 10 The Editors ofthe Democrat,
dated CarrolltoR, March so, 1888.
:" have but few days since, seen Mr.. Ghoson's
letter declining canvass. We regret very much
that circumstances made il neee sary he should, as
there is no one that the democrats in this section OF
the state would delight more TO honor than the Hon.
S. J. GhoIson, and more particularly under the ex-
sting circumstances; but we believe his friends will
generally support Gen. Davis. la fact, think the
democratic candidates will run ahead in our county
notwithstanding the injurious intrigue and base SIAN
der that has been promulgated with a view TO their
prejudice.
sour State Rights or Notifying friends are not
pleased with the intimacy which seemed to exist be-
tween Mr.. Prentiss and those federal and abolition
bull dogs at Washington. They say that they take
their cognomen from their principles, and conse-
quenty cannot consistently, nor will not support
latitudenarian cOnsruer of the constitution. This is
certainly honorable, for it isqutc obvious that the
principles sustained by the democratic party are not
as much at variance with theirs as the principles sup
ported by Mr.. Prentiss independent Of his devotion
to Mr.. Clay"

bic supporter OF southern rights, NJ. Van Buren,,
His principles are moi only Of the soundest and
purest character, but he also possesses the elo-
quencc and the ability necessary to disseminate
and entoce them. He is capable ofsaying more
than one ,uord on any subject interesting to the
welfare of his country.
The north have spontaneously nominated him,
and will sustain him with the immense territorial
power which she yields, and those in the east and
south, who would have voted for Mr. Gholson,
the chvalrous Mlsslssippian who bearded the
murderous Wise TO his teeth, will also vote Tor
General Davis.
We move unanimous on principle. God pros
per the right!
CLAIBORNE IN THE NoRrH.-This eloquent
and distinguished friend to pre- empton rights,

Messrs. DAVIS and Word addressed the peo-

advocated I ,gonal Bank, and commended, that
the same objections might be urged agalnsI me
Union Bank that were made TO the National
Bank. He, however, insisted that he was still a
member Of Congress, and not candidate before
the people. This, we believe, is the position OF
Mr.. Prentss, also If these gentlemen are now
members we can see no necessity for the people
to vote for them at this time.
Gen. Davis insisted that Mr.. Word was en-
deavorng to make false issue before the coun-

their principles aud merits. lie was opposed to
a National Bank, IN favor of building up our own
Northern vassalage. He cuntendcd that ii was the
policy of this State to establish and sustain the
Union Bank, and that National Bank would de-
sroy it, and our other State Banks.
Mr. Word admitted, that eight months ago, he
believed Bank unconstitutional. He was pref
