A FRAGMENT.


Tie yeear 1888 has gone back into the
shoreess ocean of the past--its months
and years are numbered with'those before
the flood The swift wing of time bore
It's moments and hours until the last had
come, and then they passed into the cease
less rounds of an eternity. The old year
/ is no more-its earliest harvests and
latests fruits have been gathered in. The
sghings of wintry winds sung lis requiem
TO the departing year,-we now, at rnid<
nights hour, bid farewell 10 another year.
The cares, troubles, and burdens that
pressed so heavily upon thy pulsatIng
bosom have gone into the past, TO be nums
bered with things that are no more, amid
the indistinguishahle wrecks of time. The
hot tear of grief & anguish that ran down
thy cheek ceased to fow-the dimpe
from which thousand-Smiles danced in
playful sports are dying too away,--the
Joys that caused them all are dead, save
| he sweet memories that. fingers STILL
Then old year, thou hast we'll filled thy
destiny, and returned thy records of
mortality's frail form to that bourne from
which none return. The anguished bo-
som, the devout prayer, the broken heart,
the ambitious thirst for power, the dream
of wealth, spirits broken wrongs forgiven.
Garry along these ruins of the departing
year, let them rest in the grave of days
and years that have gone. 4 new year is
come, a gift from the bosom of CODA gift
which must and will determine the facts
of millions of the human race, either for
veal or for wee. What mighty events
Sleep IN embryo that must determine the
fate Of nations and individuals? But NAV
be the year 1889 bring many blessings
to all Bright be the hopes and dreams o.
this new gift of time, and peaceful the an
ticipations which looks forward TO the
coming future. But what are they; for g
while they light up this gloomy pathway
and Their go down into eternal night--sucf
are the hopes of cath Mourn not, there
is hope that fadeth not away; new years
day will come that will be eternal, ema
mating from the throne of God.

COPIAH COUNTY ELECTION.

dead.-In Copiah county Gen. A. G. Brown
and Mr.. Ried, both Democratic Republi.

resorted to by party whose only hope of

But the people have been too long deceiv,

.DEMoCRArIC CoNYENTIoN.


This Conventirn will convene in the
city Of Jackson on the Sth inst, 10 select
suitable men to fill the offices under the
State and Federal government. There
has been much speculation about who
will be the nominees of the convention
TO run on the Democratic ticket for Con-
gross. The Marshall County Republican
mentions several gentlemen of the party
whose claims we presume will be canvass
ed freely before the convention among
whom we find the names of Roger Barton
Esq, Gen. Davis, Chapman Levy, Esq,
all we presume, well known in the State
for their frmness and consistency in sup
port of democratic principles.
MIR. Barton we should like to support for
Congress or most any office in the gift of
the people. Mr.. Levy is man of fine
talents and general information and would
be an honor to the State and the great
Democratic party at large, but we are not
prepared 10 say that we would prefer eth
er of these men 10 some others in the State.
Gen. Davis and Mr.. Claiborne we think
should hold off and not let their friends
press them forward. We make this re-
mark because we believe that such will be
the case in the convention. Gen. Davis
we cannot support for many reasons
which are too lengthy for this article; and
Mr.. Claiborne we will not support for he
accomplished what the wing party never
could do, a defeat of the democrats in the
congressional election last spring. HMr
claiborne had at the expiration of the cal
session, come home and run for a seat in
the 25th Congress, he would now have
been the favorite of the democratic party
and no man in the State would have dared
TO run against him; but contrary to wha
every body expected, he claimed his sea-
for the whole term of the 25th Congress
and thereby brought defeat upon the party
that once loved 10 do him honor by putting
him in the high station of representative
of free and independent State. But this
is not all, his equivocations on the Banl
question while candidate to ill the va
cancy in the called session of Congress il

Mr.. EDITOR
Reading the Free Trader
a few weeks since, / noticed a piece res
pecting the contemplated Rail Road be-
tween the Mississippi City and Paulding
as being under examination by the Engi-
neer. Mr.. Petrie, and as the paper said, it
was expected the work thereon would be
soon commenced, which would be about
three hundred miles in extent. | took a
look at the mp of the State TO see how far
that organ of intelligence had erred, and
found that the road alluded to scarcely
exceeded one hundred miles in extent, and
that the whole State, north & south might
have been included in the grounds between
The towns spoken of, as to miles; now how
a paper that is so finely printed, so extern
slvely circulated and as many believe and
say SO ably edited, could make such blum
der in the geography of its own State, is
amusing. They had better take up their
sachels and travel over the grounds ofboy-
hood again, or not permit strangers or
children 10 handle their types so wildly,
for surely none else could so materially err.
But in charity letus suppose that the gen
tlemen were thinking that Rail Road Of
three hundred miles north from the sea
shore, Or Mississippi city, should be in op,
peration and that Major Petrie was al
work on part of the route, which, for the
welfare of the State aught 10 be the case,
and forgive them, hoping that in future as
they correct before sending their big sheet
20 the world, they will blot out such mis-
takes in future and rot try 10 make folks
believe that Mississippi is nine hundred or
thousand miles long. Batas that paper
has been pleased TO notice the south and
the east of The State at all and as properly
informed, he may be pleased TO dfiuse
proper information through the country OF
that neglected and promising portion ofthe
State. As a citizen, interested in the
welfare ofmy people, through your columns

OF all Others together-one that may pro,
duce blood shed and civil dlscord through

deep abiding interest in the bosom of every
true southernor who loves the land of his
birth, or adoption. Still, Mr.. Wise, Will
Hams, and others, are no, in the Congress
Of the United States, to stop, frown, and
vote down the dark and helIish spirit of
abolition, that now stalks through the land
with the materials when applied will pro-
duce an explosion HAT will separate the
north from the south No one loves the
Union better than we do-among the first
things taught us, was to love The union of
the States. But when men who have no
common feeling with US the South, attempt
to control and interfere with our domestic
Institutions, civil and political institutions
which have been guaranteed TO US by the
constitution and laws of the land. When
Congress SO far forgets the broad princi~
pies Of justice and right, as TO suffer laws
10 pass, abolishing slavery in The District
of Columbia, or interfering with in any
way whatever, then we say let Mason and
Dixon's line be run anew and us separate as
Abra ham and Lott did Of old. The Leg
islature will soon convene, and We think
it would be we'll TO instruct our Senators
and Representatives in Congress to leave
Washington the moment that any Bill shall
become law interfering with slavery in
any way, whether directly or indirectly, the
Question must be met sooner or later, and
we think now is the time that the whole
south should act as one man on this great
and exciting topic. If the southern mem
