body OF men as ever drew sword in
their country's defence, all mounted on
crack horses, and all trained and dis

iy speaking, full Of the ardent enthusi-
asm of youth, and we take it tor gran
ted that those who survive to this day
and the children Of such as have paid
the debt ofnature, still keep alive in
their minds the stirring scenes in which
they bore so honorable part and the
patriotic fire by which they were then
animated. They will rally, we arc
persuaded, around the standard of the
constitution, as they rallied under the
star-spangled banner in the former and
more dubious strife. The motive which
actuatcd them in 1914 are akin to those
which should impel them to the polls
in 1889, and we are convinced that
feeling the nature Of the crisis, they
will not be unmindful Of the duties
which they have to perform. Their
spirit pervades the whole state: we see
it, we know it, we arc convinced of it.
1t is vain for few broken down
banks, the forlorn hope of the federal
host, to contend against the proud ma
tional feeling that is up in arms against
them in Mississippi. The democrats
OF that state arc reused to a proper
sense of what the country anticipates
from them, and if they do not succeed
in securing a signal triumph for gov
crnor, congress, and state legislature,
We shall have been most egregiously
deceived in the sign Of the times. No
state, no party ever presented more
worthy and honorable array of names
than those on the democratic ticket now
before the people of Mississippi.-Gov-
ernor McNUrr during the time that he
has been in Office has proved himself
a wise, sagacious, firm and patriotic
chief magistratc-and his constituents
seem to be aware that if he cannot
rescue them from the misery and deg
radiation in which they are plunged
by the banks, no other man can achieve
their deliverancc. The federal party
arc striving with the zeal of despera-
ton to prevent Dir. RoBERT J. WAL
KER from being reelected TO the SEN
ate of the United States, and with this
view they are trying to secure a major
ity in the legislature.--We hope and
believe they will be defeated. Walker
reflects credit upon the state by the
talents, the eloqucnce, the intrepid
patriotism which he exhibits in his
capacity-thcre is no man
in that assembly, remarkable as it is
for the wisdom and cloqucnce OF its
members, who is listened to with more
attention and respect than him whom
VIC are speaking. To send such man
rs Prentiss instead of Walker to the ,
senate of the United States, would ex-
cite the regret and establishment Of ev-
cry democrat in the union. But such I
a result is impossible. We see signs
and indications which cannot deceive
US, that the approaching election in g
will effect the most signal b
triumph Of sound principles that has b
been recorded even in this suspicious
era of political regeneration. v
