If VIC do not labor under a misappre-
hension at this time, we believe the Plan
ter is correct in regard to the number OF
subscribers to the Advocate in the West
ern part of Pike.-Liberty Advocate.
So, the Advocate acknowledges the eorn.-
This is honest Why did the Advocate not say
in this honest candid manner, that 1t made Q
grave statement concerning the Governor, on Q
hedr-say and even that is doubted1 Why did il
not give some proof on that subject when called
ont We know the reason, and if proof is moi
given, we will state il to the public
What is the reason the editor of the Advocate
when called on in former number of the Plan
ter, to reconcile his sayings and doings his opin
ions and conduct-failed to do sol
These things are expected from the Advocate
by the people, and they wish to know why the
Advocate said, neither of the editors of the Pi
ney Woods Planter did not vote at the Novem.
Der election; also, why such an assertion should
have been made, as that, one of them is not u
citizen of the United States; and they want to
know why the Advocate did not answer the en-
quiries of Mr.. Van Norman. Besides these, ma
ny other points must BIO explained we wish
these attended to first
All the assumed importance put on by the
Advocate, will not do, if it fails to do its duty
it may initiate itself with it's "sulphrated hydro
gean" conceits, but cannot raise itself above
truth--above responsibility.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,

The noted J. J. Graves, is the appellaton CIV
en- to our disciple of Priestly J. J. Grayes, the
"writing tool of the Liberty Advocate" The
word noted fattered Graves--he is determined
to be noted-to which he modestly replies we
use his own words:
"From actual observation. we have
learned that no one can establish a "noto-
riety" in the character of writer, unless
he possesses some considerable degree of
intellect"
Now, in this Graves is rights not imagina.
ton portion of intellect Psychologists class
IT under the same organ with inventive power,
but OF a moro grovellng kind. These may be
acted upon by other organs, so that an individu.
al may be either poet or u liar. Both belong
TO deality. insist on it, that J. ]. Graves is
right; all his writings can be brought to corrobo-
rate what we have proved above; he has imagi-
nation--a portion of intellect, amply developed;
how acted on by the other organs, his productions
clearly show. Yes, Graves, you must have dis.
tinction-"honor to whom honor is due;"--we
are determined, if you merit it, to enroll your
name with the Epic poets, though you deal in
unmeasured language,-your writings bear
marks Of intellect of very peculiar kind. Most
writers want--indeed, must have some facts on
which to found production, whether prose or
verse, but thy imagination enables thee to con-
ceive and bring forth many things, without the
first particle, or even shadow of truth to rest
them on--purely the result of an active imag

aroused their passions innamed,-
judgments perverted. Now, | put il 10
gentlcmen,--is it possible, that such an
election could be faira Without any OPP
positon--with none to reply or Defend
upon question in which the incest points
OF constitutional law were involved, and,
therefore, easily perverted, --could such
an election, however decided, be fair?
Would and gentleman who hears me, be
willing to stand such an electioni If, I'M
der such circumstances, not majority on
~, but every vote in Mississippi had been
cast for the contestants, should regard
the election as an unfair expression of Do
puiar opinion, and should return il to
the people. pretend not to dictate the
conduct of others. l have no doubt the
gentlemen who claim their seats under
the November election, have as high
sense ofintegrity and honor as can enter
tain. But with my views and information
upon this subject, if was in their situa-
ton, would disdain to take my seat upon
this floor. l would sit here, under full,
fair, and unpreiudiced enunciation of the
popular will, or should remain forever

which has been in part, the innocent cause
of this partial election.--what course does
il become us to pursue? Admitting that
we had the constitutional power-if we
were to receive these gentlemen, what
would we say to the sitting members,
whom we have lulled into inaction and Sc
curity by our resolution to the people of
Mississippi, who, in consequence of our
resolution, might have been kept from the
polls,--and to the whole mass of electors
who voted, but who may have voted under
erroneous impulses, in consequence of our
determination Sir, repeat, will not
question: do not question the perfect in
tegrity of gentlemen who differ from me
upon this subject but thinking as do,
] would commit an ast of injustice and
dishonesty in my legislative capacity, if
| did not return this election 20 the peO-
pie. And, surely, this course ought not
to give dissatisfaction to the people Of Mis-
sissippi. They must perceive, that they
have been the ultimate cause Of all the
trouble and contention wEieh has ensued.
They must perceive, that if we erred in
confirming the July election, it was from
a sincere desire to uphold their rights, and
interests; and, if we now return the cleo
tion to them, it is because we cannot con-
seat to violate the constitution of the Uni-
ted States, and add injustice to its viola

The Circuit Court is now in session in this
place, Judge Jas. Walker presiding. From the
large amount Of business that had to BIO transac-
ted at this term, much of which has not yet been
got through, it is thought the court will
adjourn about the beginning of next week -
There was one trial for capital offence. which
as usual produced much interest, the case Of
Flemming r. Cream, foG the murder of Smiley,
transferred from franklin to this county. The
evidence was such that the jury brought in a
verdict of guilty, notwithstanding, the
defence was conducted in the ablest manner,
by lawyers Stone and Rawlings, both of whom.
on this occasion, displayed in the highest degree
that tact and legal knowledge for which they
are so descrvcdly celebrated, particularly in
conducting criminal cases. Sentence has not
yet boon passed on Crean. as usual, this impos.
ing and painful ordinance has been deferred.

Our object now is for another purpose.
We intend to tell the people Of Arite
what kind of men are aiming TO control
them.-Liberty Advocate.
This is extremely kind, for which the editor
would receive our thanks had he told the truth,
but that is thing he cannot do-poor Graves!
his imagination is too powerful for his reasoning
faculties-what pity such an Imagination could
not be ruled by "reasons comparing balance. "
II the gentleman could prove that editors are
rulers, it would make him ''noted"-he ia an
editor! Does any one suppose he is ruler1-
Graves may yet rule-a boys copy book.

We will not disgrace our paper by dig
nifying such illusions with notice .-Lfb.

take the above, has nearly four columns of ed
