Lexington union. (Lexington, Miss.) 1838-18??, 1839-07-13

Of the Lexington beat.
Election 10 take place on the 20lh Of July.
The sapient editor Of the Yazoo City
Wing, has kindly undertaken to enlishten
the good people Of this county, upon Q
subject that il seems they have been hlih-
erto deplorably ignorant. Until that dis
tinguished labcrcr in the Wing cause made
the astonishing discovery, we confess we
were not aware that our county could
boast Of such transcendent talents and
ability. 1t appears, however, that we
have men amongst US Of ga high order Of
talent, who have few superiors, if any, IN
point Of eloquence and ability in the statc.'
Men who will find il mere matter Of
moonshine to completely annlhIlate and
knock into oblivion the "pigmies" with
whom they have to contend, in making
their way to seat in the house of repre-
sentatiyes. This important announcement
was made in substance by that learned
editor some six weeks ago. 1t seems,
however, to have created but little excite
ment amongst the good people Of Holmes.
The beautiful youth, whose spirited and
eloquent productions, signed "Tlolmes,"
have afforded such rich treat 10 the
readers Of the Wing, also deserves the
lasting gratitude and admiration Of the
people Of this benighted county. His
learned, fervid, vivid, minute and eloquent
description Of the distinguished worthless
who aspire TO represent our county on the
Wing ticket, his sage remarks, and the
very interesting manner, and inimilable
style in which the whole is conveyed
convinces us that we have yet more talent
than the people are aware Of, and that err
long another light will shine forth from
our highly favored county, second in bril-
liancy and splendor to none, not even The
father Of modern whiggery himself. We
cannot forbear congratulating our Wing
friends on their brilliant prospects, ant
respectfully suggest that they invite the
distinguished and learned editor aforesaid
and the beauty vino signs himself" Holmes
10 public festival, at such time and place
as they may think fit.
An article signed G Water" owing TO il
length, is unavoidably postponed until mex
week. As it describes Holmes Count,
and touches upon various other matters
we regret its postponement.
