Columbus Democrat. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 18??-18??, 1838-03-24
COL. GHOLsoN--GEN. DAVIS.

In annih.es;; column will be found the letter Of
Mr., Gholson, declining to be candidate, in con-
sequence Of his feeble health. We regret this
circumstance. Colonel Gholson is man Of
high moral worh--une of natures noble men,
talented, fearless, honest and brave. He has
been faithful representative, and is endeared to
the democracy Of the State by many grateful re-
collections which will not soon be forgotten. We
sincerely wish him an early restoration TO health.
Had he continued candidate, his success was be-
yond doubt, and his majority would have been
triumphant
An important question is now to be settled !:
who shall be the democratic candidate IN place Of
Colonel Gholson. MIR. Rarton will not be a
candidate and the person run should be from the
North.
We answer unhesitatingIy, Gen. James Davis,
of Marshall, should be the man. We have rea-
son to believe he will obey The wishes Of his par
~ and take the field. He is a strong man in the
north. lie is firm unwavering democrt, OPP
posed to National Bank; and in favor Of the
policy Of this administration.
General Davis is a lawyer Of eninence. a fine
speaker, ard possesses cultivated and well
stored mind. lie is coaciIialing in his manners
and will not fail to secure a powerful support.
Position, and every other consideration point him
out as the man TO be sustained by the democratic
party. We have no time, nor is this the occasion
for dyisions'-.Nississippian.
Reported Death al Gen. ScoH--lt was re-
ported al Baltimore on the 10th, by the passengers
from Washington, that information had been re-
ceived at the Department Of War on the day pre-
yous, Of the death of General Winfield Scott.
lie IS said to have been accidentally killed by one
oil his own men.--.N ashrillc Union
