FEL1ow Citizens OF YAzoo COUNTY:
After much hesitation, arising as well from
considerations Of private interest, as diff
dence and distrust in my ability to meet The
hopes of those who put me in nomination,
have concluded TO announce myself as can

friends, expressed in their very unlocked for

far postpone their demands upon my services,
TO my individual interests, that could scarce
hope that they would forgive hereafter one
who had sighted so considerable an honor
at their hands. In conserving to place N.Y.
self upon the arena of political contest, am
compelled to some sacrifice of private int.

without my fears, that the decided course
which shall feel it my duty to pursue in
politics, may chill the coriiality of inter.
course between myself, and my friends Of
different political opinions, which has always
charmed and frightened the circle Of my
private friendships. On my own part feel
determined so to deport myself in attaining
the object Of my honorable aspiration, as to
secure myself from the blame of all candid
men-and retain unimpaired the friendship
of those who differ from me in politics. My
political views both in relation to our state
policy and the measures of the general gov.

BANK SUsPENsIoN.-H is a great mistake
Of some Of the leading federalists to suppose
that the loCofocos are anxious to bring about
another suspension of specie payments. The
locofooos keenly remember The ills they en-.
dnred under the former suspension Those
people are generally the hard working por-
ton of the community, mechanics, farmers
planters, draymen, laborers, &C., to whom a
sound currency is almost as important and
indispensable as their daily bread. They are
not anxious to restore the reign Of shinplast-
ers, Tag money and irredeemable bank notes.
1t is the blOated speculator, whose fortune
rests on promises to pay. who alone can be
benefited by the refusal Of the issuers Of
those promises to redeem them, for this SIM
pie reason that he is one ofthe number, and
SO long as payment can be epaded, his bub-
blewealth is in no danger Of bursting. The
democrats desire that the banks should be
regulated, and kept within their proper and
lawful sphere Of action-but as il is not their
interest, so it IS moi their wish that they
should cease to pay their debts in specie, and
by that act overspread the land with clouds
Of shinplasters.
Bank suspension is the game Of specula.
tors who owe tens of thousands and millions
more than they are able to pay. Louisi0n'dR

sentatives, counting all the nine members
from Georgia for the opposition, and FIVE

Twelve members are to be elected-of these,
the Administration will certainly get at least
three in Maryland, and most probably two IN
this state. The parties will then stand in
the House, for the Administration, l25; for
the Opposition, lit. This calculation is as
favorable as possible for the wing party. We
have granted them all that the most sangune
OF that party pretend to claim, except the two
members from this sta.e. Set them down as
wings, and still the majority in the House is
against the Opposition. In the Senate. all
admit that the Administration will have
decided majority. So that no future event
can scarcely be more certain than that the

POPULAR GAIN.-Great as has been the
gain OF Democratic members Of Congress
and of the state legislatures in the late cleo.
tons, il bears no sort OF ratio to the popular
gain of the administration. In Tennessee
alone, the VOTE for Governor exhibits popu.
lar, democratic gain of more than two thous.
and votes. In Indiana, it has also been i'm.
mense, and large in almost every district in
Kentucky, North Carolina and Alabama. We
think it but moderate calculation to sci
down the popular gain to the administration,
since the elections commenced in this month,
at forty thousand votes. Well may the fed
eral wings be astounded and downcast at this
manifestation Of public sentiment. They
must see in il the destruction Of all their
hoPes-the complete success Of Mr.. Van
Buren's Administration, and the certainty
of his reelection. Ibid.
