- Ba. al.ho' the speeches delivered ior and

sad lie Bill itselfhas been generally neglect
Cemparatnely few have ever seen it, and
..., r.uer have read IL. We wish the people to .
Ice for themselves. The Bill IS now before
,..w. We beg for 1t an attentive Perusal. The
ob,.s,ions urged against ii will be found 70 be
risrlg futile, or the offspring of federal, anti-re-
..lrrsn principle. But We have no room for
comment. Let the Bill speak for itself
- We would respectfully recommend to all
she Democratic Editors ot the State, the propri-
s,y Of giving the Bill few insertions in their
papers.
- Roger Barton is elected Representative
from Marshall by majority Of l47, This is
a,in Of one 10 the Democratic cause
1.-The Argus tnes to show that our gam in
III. county since last spring is only IL votes.
Il The man knows better. He knows that our ac-
tual gain Is between 50 and 20, and that the
vote for State Treasurer is no test. Besides the
vote IS not fulI one. II is 96 less than the vote
la.! spring, and Is certainly one or two hundred
less than the county can poll. Most of those
VINO did not vote, We are assured, were Demo
Gratis or Sub-Treasury State rights men.
We are happy TO SEQ all Of our friends in such
fine spirits. Defeat has not in the lcast discou.
raged tAcm They all unite in saying that rc
Il hare The aojoriiy, and that the county with pro
per prudence and management will yet be re-
deemed. We do not doubt it, Lowndes county
can never be hi;ched to Henry Clay and Ma.
lonaI Bank. Forbid it patriotism
ain addition to this influence, potent as It was
portion Of our own party voted against Us OF
stood lstlessIy by and some of them. indeed
went farther and elecuoneered against us
HI Argus.
I'll If ,hc Argus means by "a portion Of our par
y," hc independent and consistent nullifiers her,
who voted for Mr. Butler, he lobors under sa,
mistake. Those gentlemen never belonged t
the party with which the Argus at present acts
They did, indeed, unite with them in opposin!
the latter pant Of President Jackson's adminls
ration, but they were never qf them, nor seih
them in principle nulliier, and a blue hgh
lede,alst, such as the Argus man is, are charac
ters as opposite as light and darkness,
The farmers of Lowndos and Noxubce hay
spcken and who dares to say they have net sp'
ken wisely !-.lrgus.
Yes, they have spoken, and you know vel
IL well, Mr., Argus, that hey hare spoken again
III ,Ju. If their vote alone he'd been taken in Il
two counties you mention we should have dista
ccd you-in Lowndes our majority over "
would have been one or two hundred This cy'
iedcrUI edrontery will not dare to deny. 1t W
the mercantile influence, united with the who

rather by their wit than tholr labor that defeat
U.s. The farmers spoke wisely" as they
ways do, iog a large majority Of them voted

One Of the con}rNanCes resoIted 10 by
friends Of Union OF bank and state in order
