For The Lexington Union.
CARRoLLToN, August rs, 1889.

. u A
was proud day for Democracy IN Carroll.
General Brown, the talented candidate for
Congress addressed one Of the largest as
semblies that have ever seen collected ind
this village in two years. lie lookup first
the two original parties, and showed con-
clusively, that the Wings Of the present
day are nothing more than the ultra Fed
eralsts Of the old school, Notwithstanding
the innumerable names they have assum-
ed. He then took up the National Bank
question, and handled that with rasterly
hand. How differently from the puisue
aammering manner OF the redoubtable
Ruben! He next brought on the Sub
Treasury Bill, and explained that admir-
able system Of keeping and discussing the
public funds--many Of the citizens, who
had heretofore looked onitas great bug
gaboo, came oul openly and acknowledged
that they were satisfied that it was the
only safe method for the safe keeping OF
the public money. .
Gen. Brown then compared the lives Of
Martin Van Buren, and Henry Clay, and
concluded to support Mr.. Van Buren,.
Next he took up the miserable charge Of
the Vicksburg Wing, that he Brown had
voted FOR the post note resolution 10 the
Legislature Of Mississippi, and read from
the journal ofthc session Of 1889, showing
his uniform opposition to that resolution.
He was frequently applacded during his
speech for his eloquence and repartee, as
well as his sound argument and reasoning.
At the conclusion Of his speech, Col.
Marsh, candidate for the Senatorial dis
irct composed of this and Tallahatchie
county, advanced to the stand, when Wm.
G. Clark, a whig, got in ahead and de-
manded the attention Of the people. Col.
Marsh called the attention of the people
for minute, and remarked that many OF
the citizens Of this county were anxious
to hear his views on this occasion, and
that he wished to crafty them by giving
his views in full, but that MIR. Clark SEEM
ed determined to keep him from speaking,
Notwithstanding he CLARK was no candi
date; and that he considered il indccorous
and ungenerous-- this was the second
time he had been interrupted in the same
way-that he thought it was q plot or
scheme gotten up to prevent him from
speaking. Mr.. Clark disclaimed any plot
or scheme, and gave way TO Mr.. Marsh.
Col. Marsh then proceeded 10 his peculiar
forcible manner to discuss the great prin-
ciples Of direct southern trade, and show
ed how much interest he takes for the
prosperity Of the south, as well as the
great fund Of knowledge he has upon the
resources Of the south, and Of her capabil-
ity of throwing the balance Of trade into
her own favor.
After Mr.. Marsh had concluded, MIR.
Clark arose to address the house, and
thereupon majority Of the people left it..
| did not stay to hear him to the end, but
am crediblv informed that there were
but four persons in the court house when
he concluded. expect a powerful i'm
lpression was made, for ! believe his hear
ers were principally Democrats. This
was proud day for Democracy. The
Democrats seem TO be alive and energetic;
on the other hand the Wings seem TO 3
\ detected and dispirited. A reaction IN
favor Of Democracy is perceiyable 10 all
parties. The glorious result Of the Ten
lnessee election has had its influence here.
This county will elect all her members to
the legislature Of the right stripe.
| Chancellor Turner the Wing candidate
for Governor passed through here not long
since, and left an impression that will las
yes, sir, an impression that he has
either imposed himself upon the Wings
or is consumate hypocrite. His course
!, is one that is calculated TO have the elfec
it should have, and that is the contempt Q
the Democratic party, and the distrust Q
the Wing party. He will fall far short Q
the Wing vote Of this county-hones
Wings, many Of them, will vote for Nc
Mutt for his integrity and firmness, i
,, preference 10 an imbecile non committa
man, who has no settled views.
