HON. 8. s. PRENTIss.

We this day place the name Of this son
of genius at the lead of our columns, as
wing candidate Fl United States Sem
ate. Weneed al Mr. PRENTIss,
in Obeying portion of
his fellow cilize But sacrifice, in
high degree, b eate interests TO the
wishes and welfare Of the wings of Missis-
sippi. The WING PARTY by union and
the exertion of its real strength, cannot
fail to elect him. If it should fail in doing
SO, it will be stained with the basest per6dy
to its cause and our country, and ingrati-
tude, most dark and deep, and eternal TO
Mr.. Prentiss-an ingratitude which, in the
beautiful language of Stern, there will be
no recording angel to drOpa tear upon, and
blot out forever.
We need not remind the public of MIR.
Prentiss' distinguished political services
of his orthodox political sentiments and the
manner, evincing the most extraordinary
genius and fearlessness, in which he sus-
tanned those sentiments. We need not
bring to mind the baseness of those min
ions of the administration who endeavored
to place the right of suffrage Of Missis-
sippi in the hands of the General Govern
ment-and whose efforts, Mr.. Prentiss, aid
ed by the freemen of Mississippi, to sokicE
only they OUcd and recessed allegiance
most eIoquently and successfully resisted
We need not again record the fact, tina
Robert ]. Walker is distinguished chief,
for the faculty Of bilignity, which sprung
from only the most narrow-minded selfish
ness of his nature. Mr.. Walker, as occa
sion served, is the citizen equally Of Louisi
ana or Mississippi-he must, therefore, b
incapable of that sacred feeling of allegi
ance, which TRUE Mississippians possess
and justly regard as the vital principle Q
genuine liberty. So far as Nj. Walker ha
ever betrayed any outward and visible sig
of an inward spirit, so high and holy as tia
of allegiance, all must acknowledge, that
is to be perceived only in his present sci
vile devotion to the corrupt party in power

sufing he success &c lac wing cause. The
example, then, which has been thus set, We
eagnessly hope and expect u see followed
By al shigs, with the utmost quickness
and strength.
In reference 70 the election Of members
Of our State Legislature, we trust that il
Is now quite superfuous in rs to remind
the wings, that the elevation Of the Hon.
8. 8. PRENTFss TO The United States
Senate, is the great point to be gained.
Mr.. Walker cannot be defeated, unless the
WHros vote, each and every man Of them,
only for those who win certainly support
Mr.. Prentiss. Our only proper course, then,
is to support, exclusively, the WIG NoMINA-
TED TICKET Of Yazoo county. "DiUi&e-
and conquer" is the great maxim of loco
fuco poIicy--and too much blame and want
Of patriotism cannot be attributed to the
wings, if when, as now, they have very
large majority in YazoO county, they fail to
act in entire nniOn, and thus permit Them
selves, with open eyes, to be defeated.

YOUNG NEWS WING MEETING.

On Saturday last, the l4th inst, we are
happy to state, that the Wing Young Men
of Yazoo county assembled together, in a
respectable number, at the Washington
Hotel in this city, according to previous
notice. Numerous resolutions were offered
and passed-all Of which, with the entire
proceedings Of the meeting, we are happy
in laying before the public in anOthercoIumn
of our tO.day's paper.
A most laudabls and cheering spirit Of
energy and consolidated action was evinc-
ed BY the meeting. Whatever abstract con.
siderations may be urged BY some against
such spirit, il must be evident to every
mind, that this constitutes, at present, the
only mode Of selEdelsnce against lOcO-foco-
ism, and the most efectual means Of EN-

THEATRICAL.-A company acting under
the firm of KELSEY g. HAauLroN, arrived
in our city on Monday last, and have been
playing each night since, to tolerable houses.
We have not Witnessed but one perform
ance Of this corps, but are informed by
''men Of taste" thatthey act pretty we'll
their respective parls-that IS, all characters
as yet performed. They have but few ac-
tors, and but one actress, Mrs. Robinson,
and, therefore, cannot be expected to per
form to perfection, such plays as he sstrang-
err &C., where to do justice TO the piece, it
requires three ladies' and seventeen. We
think they would do better, il they would
con6ne themselves 10 such plays il which
the quantity of characters required, would
correspond more fully with the limited num-
Der of performers belonging to their corps.
Mr.. Kelsey, it is said, BY those were eye
witnesses to his various performances, TO be
an exceeding good aclOr-such one as
might FLOURISH on any boards--in the char
acter oft straRger we know he can beat
the world, for we seen him perfom the part
of the Stranger in this city, last winter,
up to nGture.' Mr.. Hamilton (not the ven-
cradle gentleman who distressed Us last
winter) has acquired a reputation, as COM
edian, which calls for nothing on our part

STEAM BOAT ARRIVAL The steam boat
''Concordia'' arrived at our landing on Tues

since the 9th Of July last.

CoTToN PICKING.--We learn that on
Tuesday last, on the plantation of Mr.. ]. R.
CREECY, about seven miles distant from this
place, that Ats pounds of Cotton were
picked by twenty six hands, six of which
were from eight to twelve years Of age.

Eighth:--It Is fact, that the foregoing
sentimsnis uttered 81 DR.. McNun, III hi
circular Of 1886, and bis message Of 1888
were n the most perfect harmony with the
professions, faith and practice Of the Who'll,
party, as was by them daily and hourly ex.
pressed, from long before 1885. up 10 neal
the latter end Of 1883. For that gentleman
never hazards the utterance Of opinions Of
sentiments that are not according to stricl
party orthodoxy.
Ninth;-It is fact that the Union Bank,
which is now so very literally denounced
by the party and their press, was, in all
time before. at the time of, and for year af.
ter its incorporation, claimed, with great
jealousy, as. the special pet Of the party, its
charter strongly recommended by Gov. Nc
Mutt, and its issuance of Post Notes was ex-
tOlled by their presses and great men, as a
great, wise and judicious financial measure,
and those who questioned its practicability
were denounced by them, with degree Of
severity and vifulence amounting, nearly or
quite, to fury.
Tenth:-lt is fact, that as every bank in
the state received its birth, power, privile-
ges, and authority, WIDELY, at the hands of
Van Buren, legislatures, the wing party do
not deserve either praise or censure for their
good or bad conduct, or any good or bad
effects which their doings have produced in
the community. For, in the language of the
late Wing Address:-''If the banks are res
ponsible to the law, courts of justice are open
to the complaints Of the injured. Ifnot, let
those who granted their charters without
securing the community against the abuses
which we have witnessed, bear the whole
indignation of the public"
Eleventh:-It is a fact, that the whole
press, party, and influence of the party, of
the sub-treasurers, is now, and has for many
months, been engaged in all ways and by all
means, in depreciating the paper of the
banks of Mississippi. This is, in fact, the
business Of the purty-when it is plain that
every shade of depreciation which they thus
produce, is so much money, direct loss, to
all the people of the state who have to pay
out this kind of money, and, strange to tell,
none are so loud in complaining Of this de-
probation as those very men who produce
it!
Twelfth.-It is fact, that the foregoing
statements of historical truth, none of which
can be questioned by the most reckless par
ty adventurer, COMPEL MEN TO KNOW, that
REcKLEssNEss AND CORRUPTION are the NOV
ing principles which influence the financial
anti-bank doings and sayings of the Van
Buren, party in Mississippi. Not the whole
people who usually vote and act with that
party, bat the leading partizan politicians,
who control the press and govern the party
in our state.
The foregoing statements are highly inter-
esting to the people of the state Or With
them, and not with spouting poliii Are
the issues of veal or woe 10 Miss sippi.--
We respectfully ask every man whose eyes
we can reach with our remarks, to let those
subjects occupy his thoughts and influence
his mind and conduct.

or The "Mississippian" says, that the
effort of Mr.. PRENTIss. at Raymond, was a
complete failure-denies that Mr.. Prentiss
has the least acquaintance with the science
of government-andre recommends hard study
close thought, and much exercise Of the rea-
worthy editor ever learn aught of the sci
ence of government? Is the knowledge of
it an innate attribute of that anomaly and
monster-a loco-foco? Why, Mr.. Prentiss,
ten years ago, had forgotten far more than
all the various editors of the 'Mississippian'
could ever know. This, indeed, is preten-
tiOn-this, indeed, exposes the Pretendey-
for that editor to undertake to advise man
on whom Nature has bestowed her most ex-
traordinary gift, that of remarkable genius,
Besides we heard loco-foco of this place,
who is noted for the most sturdy and obsti-
male democratic prejudices and opinions,
speak very favorably of Mr.. Prentiss' effort
at Raymond-which he had the qualification
to hear.
The unblushing, reckless falsehood, which
stamps loco-focoism, does, indeed seem won.
derful almost beyond conception. One edi.
tor endcavors to create in the minds Of the
people suspicion that distinguished whie
