To ks I'd tors Of ihs ColuRb bee Democrat;
GssrLENrS The Federal Wig Convention
adjourned on Thursday Morning about ? o'clock,
after having made the following nominations
Goreraor-EIon. Edward Turner, Of Fronkln.
Secretary Of STATE -Dudley L. Jennings, Of
Jackson.
.9adaor.--PHlip Dixon. Of Kinds
Trsssarr.--Sas Brown, OF Kinds
Congssss.--TIon. A. L. Bingaman, Of Adams
Reuben Davis, OF Monroe.
This ticket, you viii perceive, is a weak one,
and with proper sxertiOns on the part Of the De.
mocraey, will be easily beaten. Judge TUR.
KER IS a FcdeIaisl Of the old school, and bis IN
toectaa attainmenis. are fat below medoerIiy
lilo was nominated for Governor, because good
" number Of Federal Lawyers are painting Tor
the Office Of Chancellor, which he now holds.
Col. BINeAMAN and Mr.. DAVIS you know.
The one is an old blue light Federallsi, and be-
longs 10 the " Natchcz Aristocracy." The other
is one Of the smaller lights Of whigsm. gentle
man iinmcasurably deficient in all the qualillca-
lions requisite for The important sissicn 20 which
he has been nominated. lie will answer vcry
wsll to BIO defeated. md that Is all the wigs ex-
peeled by his nomination. Ne. Speaker KING
feels sore ut moi being taken W by his federal
brethren. and a certain Senator from Wilkinson,
is certainly mortified at mol receiving the nomina-
ton for Governor. Tho intelligent wings here
openly admit that their ticket is weak one, and
for the information Of your brother Of the Argus,
who processes TO be STATE Righis man, would
ask him 10 refer 10 the Journals Of tho House Of
1888, and read Col BIEoAMAE's report in favor |
Of the doctrines Of the Proclamation. The
State Rights men have been slighed--ncI sin
gle member Of their paFy has been placed in
nomination by The wings. Tho Federal wings
iudely thrust Judge WINCHESTER aside, and de-
ieunined TO use the language Of Senator Cray
SOW, "to have no connexion with the Nullcrs."
The Senator from Yazoo considers the Nuhheis
pvOsiiiuied, aud hundreds Of the Federal Wings
echo the foul impuIalion.
Our defeu, for Senator, although to be- regret
tea, will be productive Of much good i! will
arouse the Democracy Of the State they will
now uniie as one man TO redeem Mississippi from
the foul STAN which corrup. and fraudulent Leg
stature has attempted 10 place upon her fair cs.
cuicheon. Redeem Redeem will be the
Yaichword Of the State Rights Democrats, and
they will not rest satisfied until Federal Whggery
isbanshed beyond the limits Of our State.
The Federal Convention having formally, af.
ter much discussion aud due deliberaion, nomin-
.aied Mr.. CLAYasa candidate for tho Presden-
cy, will find il an uphill business to force This
arch-enemy Of the South, upon The people Of
Mississippi. The Kentucky orator will DO
heavy load to carry, and about one third oil the
Convention was opposed TO his nomination, VIM
Y. Gholson, D. Gillespie. d. s. Jennings, and
others, frankly stated, tina, such was the unpopu-
larily Of Mr.. Clay, that f nominated, i would |
defeat tho whole whg ticket next Noyen Der.
But they we're voted down, and tho rash and in
discreet councils OF such rlen as VIM ii. HuRsT
Of Vcksbuig, DR.. Sitter, Of Rankin, and A.
l.. DADsEY of Kinds, ruled the hour, ard the |
nomination Of Harry Of the Vest was con-
cured 10, though very reluctantly.
Judge MirenELL, Of this county, (ot whom
have spoken beroro) il very much dissatisfied.
lie wished 10 be nominated for Governor and
when he found thai was impossible, he did moi
hesitate 10 express his dsapprobp,ion Of the Con-
yeniios .Sys,em --said the Wing assembly was
mere seli.created body, gotten upthe did'n, know
how and their course Of procedure was alto
gc,her opposed to his republican notions Of think
ing and acting. lii truth, the wing Convention,
was mere Buckerized" farce and the hon
cs, portion Of the party are mortified md disgust
ed at tho course which things have taken. Alter
tho Convention adjourned, head at least a half
dozen members declare thu, they would not sup
port BlKGAMAN or DAVIS. The Nullfers Of
Amile and Wilkinson, in particular. nre sick Of
The whole ticket both these counties viii give
maiories Cor the Democratic ticket, orl nm no
prophet. The vote of FARRAR, VSNTRrss and
NooD, against Judge SMlTn, viii lay Them to
the land in old Wilkinson" Their political
death IS sealed. -.
Lhcrc has been great denl Of hustle and con-
fusion here during the past week. and several
"knock downs and dtagouis" have been the con.
sequence. One Of the Representatives from Iht
Guy Of Natchez, being " half seas over,' go
into On aaray--in which the ayes and noes wer'
taken upon him ii fine style. lie is now con
uncd 10 his room, and reiruin from adding nm
more wounds to his disabled organs Of sight an
spccch. His "sufieriugs are lnioleraoie'"
