THE WING TICKET.

THE WING TICKET.
W BY reference to the following address
lromlh Central Wing Committee, it will b
perceived that our State ticket has been filled
by the nomination of John CRUso Esq, o
Lowndes CO., as a candidate for Auditor Of Pub
| lie accounts, and GIDEON FRI, Esq, of Kinds
for State Treasurer. We accordingly place
each OF their names under our editorial head
and sincerely hope that their nomination may
Iproye acceptable to our friends throughout the
Estate. In dlscharging this duty, the Commit
tee considered the claims Of various gentlemen
procured all the information they coult
in reference to character, qualifications ant
rength-weigheG every circumstance with
partiality-and finally arrived at the unan
nous conclusion that the gentlemen selected
were the proper individuals for the Offices oil
Auditor and Treasurer. Mr.. Cruso. although
personally unknown TO most OF the citizens OF
this part Of Mississippi, is gentleman well
|quaIihed for the Office of Auditor. This fact
was abundantly proved to tho committee, by
the recommendation Of intelligent wings in
North Mississippi, and by the fact that the
Southern ArgUg, one of the most respectable
whig journals in the north, is already enlisted
in behalf Of Mr.. Cruso Gideon Filz, Esq, the
nominee for Treasurer, is well known through
out Mississippi, as gentleman Of the most in
flexible honesty-the most devoted business
habltS-and othighly respectable talents. For
n number Of years he was Register of the land
office at Mount SaluS. Subsequently he held
the Office Of Surveyor General Of this State.
for period Of four years In this capacity.
bn IrDiVpr1ol otiCcoo,;o,, 4,
severa! hundred thousand dollars Of the public
money went through his hands during his con-
unuance in Office, it is known that he was no
dJautter, but promptly paid over every dollar
otthe public money. Mr.. Fitz was prescribed
by the party in power, and thrust out of office
without any charges oimlsconduct being adiu-
ced. However, in this he only experienced
the fate of hundreds Of the most talented and
yirtuous officers Of the country.
We shall, at some future period, when we
have more leisure, give our readers more ex-
tended notice of the peculiar character and
claims Of our candidates for Auditor and Trca-
surer.
ADDRESS.
"The Central Wing Committee of the State
ofMississippi, having been called on by num-
bers Of their political friends, in various parts
Of the State, to fill the vacancies which death
has made in our ticket, and believing from the
tone of the public press, that it was expected
Of them, have reluctantly assumed that respon-
sibilty. Had they considered their own feel
ings and wishes they would have avoided the
discharge of so delicate q duty. the more par.
ticuIary, when not expressly delegated to them;
but it was evident from the facts above adver-
ted to, that unless done by them, it would not be
done at all, and our ranks would be subject tC
that division and certain defeat produced by
numerous candidates of our politics.
Under these circumstances, they could not
hesitate as to the course to be pursued.
After cautious deiberation, and with an car.
nest attention to the importance Of the Offices
to be filed, and the dignity and responsibility
OF the party whom we represent, they recon-,
mend to the Wings Of Mississippi, for their sup
port,
GIDEON FlTZ, Esq, of Kinds, for Treasurer
JOHN CRUSO, Esq of Lowndes, for Auditor
