THE ELECTION.

THE ELECTION.
Time will soon bring the day, upon which
one Of the greatest political contests that ever
lagitated a nation will have been decded.-
Long and patently-Rot without murmuflhg'
however=huye we borne the deprivailons en-
tailed upon US by corrupt and sel-willcd Al
ministration. Wholesome, sound, and bench
|cial Institutions have been destroyed, TO make
room for the mad schemes OF Sub-TreasurerS,
lknayes, and aristocrats. Hundreds oimIlllons
|of dollars ofspecie have been unwlsely ana I'M
constitutionally placed at the disposal oil the
President and his willy cabinet, and the cohSe,
ouence is that bribery, corruption and irauu
rear high their heads and fill the hearts oil all
with dissatisfaction, and ceaseless longing
for CHANGE in the Government, its officers,
and the manner of their doing business gen.
orally.
! Under our editorial head will be found, IN
bold relief, the honorable and respected names
those we intend to support while we have
power 10 WELD quill, to stick type, or lustl-
| va line. We feel and know this course to be
Jour y--imperatively so-not only 10 our
Selves but to this glorious Republic! We look,
therefore, to the FOURTH OF NOVEMBER NEXT, as
DAY fraught with the good or i'll OF all
which makes mankind happy or mlsera-
Bile.
In the selection Of members for Congress, we
cannot but have pursued a course which will
not only be adopted by our numerous friends,
but admired by no small portion flour political
opponents. The Hon. ADAM l.. BINGAMAN,
standing high in the estimation Of every res
pectabeman, of both parties, in the, State, has
claims pom the sutfrages of a generous people
which cannot be denied him, and should new
Ter be forgotten. Who, when. Mississippi was
only a territory, and surrounded by difficulties
known only to the first settlers of the land we
live in, stoDd boldly forth in defence of our
rights and "pledged his life, his fortune, and
his sacred honor," for the preservation Of the
people who are now called upon to testify their
gratitude for services rendered. Reader-thlSI
devoted, this noble aspirant to high and re-
sponsible office stands before you. 1t is Colo
mel ADAM l.. BINGAMAN. 1t is not wealth, nor
fame, norambi!on, that caused this gentleman
10 yield the present solicitations Of his numer-
Gus friends to become a candidate for office; but
it is alone the pure desire Of doing "the State
some SERVICE" and being one among many to
assist in unclogging the wheels of the General
OoNeIhHleut, anu GEARING out INC "oouIHuI"
led official film which has long blinded The
eyes OF our unsuspecting citizens.
Upon the 18th Of November, then, we look
with no small degree Of soliciude;-not fear
ing, however, that every lover Of his country's
welfare and honor will be at the Polls, ready
and willing TO do justice to the Hon. ADAM l..
BINGAMAN and REUBEN DAVIS, Esq,-lhan whom
none could be found more honorable or more
capable to fulfil the duties assigned to the Rep
resenIatiyes of free and independent PEG,
Pile.
1t will be remembered, too, that the Hon.
EDWARD TURNER, is candidate for the office Of
Governor Little doubt is entertained Of hisl
election; as the remarks we have taken the lib
erty to make relative to the Hon. Adam L. Bing
aman, are applicable, also, to Mr.. Il.
The Hon. DUDLEY S. JENNINGS, is candi-
date for the office of Secretary Estate; DR.. 81
LAS BRowN, for State Treasurer, and PHILIP
DIXON, Esq, for Auditor of Public Accounts.
The three last named gentlemen are well
known throughout the State--are qualified for,
and richly deserve the Offices to which they
aspire.
