demagogues, Col. Bingaman will get much
larger vote in North Mississippi than did
Mr.. Prentiss at the last election.
ftAr The last number of the :. Lexington
Unions contains an editorial, in relation to
the late speech of REUBEN DAVIS, Esq. at
that place, wherein ignorance and presump-
ton are too strongly developed. The whole
article is a-mixture of slang, for which the
press of that party are so noted, intended
doubtless as abuse and ridicule of Mr.. Davis
and the party to which he belongs; but the
shafts launched by so feeble an arm, neces-
sarily fall harmless at his feet. The editors
speak of the snbiect.of Mr.. Davis discourse.
as consisting of naught but his advocacy of
a "National Bank and his opposition to the
proceedings of the Swartwout tribe" But
pray, what was the subject of the little en-
tigIttener from Holmes, Mr.. Cardozo's re-
marks-what was the thread of his great ar
gument! Did he advance one sound reason
why Van Buren, should receive the suffrages
of this people--did he furnish any grounds
why the people should elect advocates of
the Sub-Treasury system, thereby giving
their sanction to the establishing of it. No.
If he did, it was more than his ouer9oaoing
soul would allow him to express. Although
Mr.. Cardozo, when at Benton, was mounted
upon his IS Trojan Horse and having the
''Goddess .HnerUa'' to lead him on to the as
sault, he endeavored to fabricate reply to
Az no,-;. b,,t = x,,os . oono-lo+o fo;I,,ro
His time-his whole attention was taken up
in violent denunciation of HENRY CLAY and
National Bank, charging the mighty states
man, "whom the people delight to HONOR"
with federalism, abolitionism, and other isms
equally absurd and ridiculous. How did his
hears receive these charges? Not with
shouts, as you may suppose, reader, for the
people of this county, have too much faith
in Mr.. CLAY to allow the least change to be
produced by speakers especially such one
as him who took upon himself the trouble to
reply to Mr.. Davis.
Well, we have no time nor space to an
swer the 'sUnion" as it should be done, but
in conclusion, we will remark one thing
which astonishes us beyond comparison
that is-that Mr.. Hines talents, combined
with that of his several aids (of which there
are not few } should, after putting all their
heads together, produce such poor speci-
men of what they intended for ridicule!
New PAPER-ss The Stale Rights and Demo
cratic Uaion.'' We notice with pleasure,
the appearance of the first number of the
paper published in this city, on Tuesday last,
by our friends VIM. M. Tolbert & Co., bear
ing the above title.
The typographical appearance of the paper
is very creditable to the skill of our neigh
borg. The selections are made with great
taste, and give evidence that over this de-
partment presides gentleman Of literary
attainments and much critical acumen; one
who will cater well for the reading public.
The editorial matter is written in bold and
vigorous style; ornate though not overload
ed; pure though not efeminate; logical with
out being dry; diffuse without being tedious
pointed without wounding; dignifed with
out arrogance, witty without vulgarity.
The s'Union'' is devoted to the cause Of
the democratic party, and as fearless, faith
full and able exponent of their principles
should, and no doubt will, receive the sup
port and patronage Of that party.
Though we diferin politics from the edi.
tor, j. ". JNcKinstry, Esq. we have no un-
kind feeling toward him. Indeed we honor
him for hisssOcial qualities, his genius, hil
learning, and his frmnese in adhering tt
what he believes truth; and regret to ''see
them come to such uses" As publishers
too, members Of the same fraternity, W.
extend to them the o. Of fellowship, anc
wish them all the profit and pleasure to b
derived from an arduous profession, full Q
trials, tribulations and disappointments.
The opening article is too lengthy to cop.
entire, and we can only give the following
clear and forcible sketch Of the situation .
parties before and after the Union, which
is a very fair sample Of the editorial in tn
J, number before US.
