THE COLUMBJJS DEMOCRAT

THE COLUMBUS DEMOCRAT.
We took this veritable journal under our es-
pecial care little more than year ago, with
the best intentions ofimproving its health in
every particular. We have physicked, cupped,
bled and blistered it, but all to no purpose, how
ever, until last Saturday, when its symptoms
took decided change for the better. For a
long time it remained insensible to our applica-
tons. and it seemed to US that we were des-
tined to defeat, IN our attempts to arouse It's
dormant energies. The rcsult Of The late cleo
tiO'., and very powerful application we made
on Tuesday last combined, have produced a
very salutary effect. IrritGbiEity has ensued,
which is good symptom of returning health /;
and, if by continued applications we can keep
up discharges, similar in character to those of
last Saturday, we shall soon have the happiness
to announce that the patient is out of danger.
The Jackson Mississippian has nominated
Judge Trotter for reelection to the Office of u.
States Senator. This is no more than right on
the part of the Locofocos, for certainly the
Judge has been of considerable service to the
party IN so literally ranking extra. Globes to
his constituents during the late canvass. The
greatest recommendation the Judge has
for the Office, according to the notion of the pa
per referred to. IS contained in the following
paragraph:
We think there cannot be doubt that
Judge Trotter IS decidedly the strongest man
of the party for the Office Of Senator, He is The
choice Of the people IN all the northern counties
aObich haze recently given Prentiss and WorO
nyorities.' -
There are, in our opinion, some doubts as tc
the worthy Judges strength in the northern
counties; but the extract above evidences in q
palpable manner the desperate situation of the
party. fTrotter is the strongest man in the
party, it certainly must be in a rapid decline.
