State rights and democratic union. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1839-18??, 1839-10-30

The question 10 be decide.l then. is-' VIII
you sustain Robert J Walker, who hde ben
foremost IN your deffnce, or will you supper!
fIenry Clay, who, as political b"igGnd, has
erer been bent upon pInndering you Of yor
sacred ights? In tie selection Of your Repre-
sentatlves IN the next Legislature, let there
fore the decision Of the foregoing question
d termlne YOU on which side TO cast your
sufrages. Consider that in the support of
vi. Walker you support him who has faith
fully subselved and guarded your interests;
and, on The other hand, you lend your sup.
| port to Mr.. Clay, the main prop and pillar of
deposition to Southern rights and interests.
| Other questions more Immediately con-
nected with your interests as State, should
have due weight in the coming contest. For
three years have you looked to yoar Legisla.
ture TO adopt measures to restore to the State
sound currency. You have looked in vain.
Banks and bank officers and favorltes, have
continued TO fitch from you the reward of your
labor, and laugh al your sufferings. You are
now called upon to create, almost anew, the
! Legislature, and 10 It you again look for the
enactment of suitable laws to arrest the
downward march of the State. Sit down, and
CALMLY inquire why the two last Legislatures
did nothing to arrest the ruinous policy of
the banks. Do this, and you will shortly ar
live at the conclusion, that your Legislatures
/ failed SO to do because their members were
themselves interested in the banks; nay, were
many o: them directors of the banks. Let
not your inquiries then stop; ask to what
party thesf bans directors in your Legisla-
ture b. longed, and you will find that to man,
they Uere UhtgS. Ask, then, who have had
cotroI of the banks? Who have been their
directors and officers? And you will again
find that they mere sOhtgs; for thele is not,
nor has there been, bank in the State, a
majority of whose directory are or were de-
mocrats. Fellow-citIzens, these are hstori-
cal facts. known to all, and will not be de.
MED. But pursue your inquiries. Ask what
party has been denounced as hard money
men, loco focos, aud thousand such names,
for their uniform opposition to the policy of
the banks? And does not your own memory
tell YOU he party called democrats have been
thus distinguished aud denounced? Ask,
then, what party now favor the banks, and TO
what party the directors in the broken shin
plaster banks, who are candldats for seats in
the Legislature. belong, and your observation
will SHOW you that thry belong TO the party
opposed to K. ). Walker and A. g. McNutt;
that thy are Uhtgs. As reasonable men.
ask yourselves then, if you can expect proper
legislation If you snstal such party. Peo
pie of Mississippi, will you again fill your
Legislature with bank directors! Will you
call thosf whose interests are the interests Of
the banks. TO SIT in judgment on their own
cases? With the history of the past staring
yo IN the face, can YOU b. so lost to reason
as 10 cast your votes for the officers of the
banks! We appeal to you to take up the
journals % the two last sessions of the Legis-
latnre, and examine for vourselv the course
of these mn, and if YOU shall find that they
sustained your Governor, Alexander G..
McNutt, in his cet0es of bank charters IN
his Recommendation TO fix upon day., now
long gone by. for the geEe raj resumption Of
of specie payments his opposition to the
post note system, and his VITO of that infa-
nous measure; we say, if We shall find them
IN the right upon these questions, then ele
vate them second time; but if. on the other
hand, you find that tn r votes are uniformly
tGs IS the case, cast IN opposition to the right,
then should yeu condemn them as unworthy
of trust.
Freemen of Mississippi, you who wish to
see your State restored TO respectable con.
ditlon, you are called upon to say whether
you will continue the slaves of banks and
bank directors, or whether you will throw off
the yoke. The democratic party, Uho hap
not in your Cholc State director of
bank as candidate for lie Legislature,
ask your support. On the other hand the
wings, who have as many candidates, and
perhaps more, that are bank directors as arr
banks in the State, likewise solicit support.
Should the former succeed, the honest por-
ton of the community will be represented.
Should the latter, each bank in the State
will be represented. Nov, with the motto,
principles, not Men," choose We between
them.-M ,s-issippiaa.
