MEssRs. EDIToRs II appears that Gen On.
Wis denies having said that majority Of The DEM
ocrats Of Marshall county we're in favor Of tho
election of Thomas II. Williams as Governor
Ills denial don't amount to much. When going
down to jackson Gen. Davis was decided "a
Williams, when he returned Williamson was MS
man. First, he minated that Thomas II. VIII
Jams would be the Democratic candidate in oppo.
siilon 10 Gov. McNm,. But when he passed
through Oxford Oh his way up, he declared that
X. NJ. Williamson, of MADISON, was talked Of
sheer invention Neither Williams OF VIII.
hanson Will be a candidate. The General from
some cause OF other, is against Gov. McNult
and iakes particular pains to set forth his objcc
lions at every cross road and bar loom. Lei me
tell the General, that the detection of hundrvd
such men will do GOV. McNut no injury; not
will 1t render the " Democratic party nuhty'
as some suppose, now or hereafter no, far from
IT, II VIII purge the ranks Of ThIevng Dem
ocfats" who, under the garb of friendship, have
done more to destroy the Democratic party, than
all the WHY manGuvres of the Fedtralists put to-
gether. Let Gen. Davis, and such like hun,
"slope over TO the Wings" at once and We may
evolves in sleeps clothing" mphan,in Mis-
sIssipPl Gen. Davis, and his like, have beena
milestone around the neck Of the Democratic par
". Such men would ruin any patty. The reaI
Democrats, the working men, the laborng class
es--nol Bank borrowers, and shinplaser adso
cates--will go into the next contest with conn
dence aud good cause, and under the banner OF
the patriotic McNurr, they will achieve rlcioIy
which Will strike terror to the heart Of Fedora
ism, and its ally and most potent adjunct sha
plaster Democracy. Agenlleman IN maTsn"a'
nm intelligent Wing, informs me thai McNut
stronger there than ever; believe him. Uep,
Davis may wrthe and wriggle; abuse MENU
and the Convention System and "aTlv" as
ten Us he peases, and 1t will be no co. !"
Democratic party in Lafayette is united and hf'''
It will present an nnbroken front at the next e'eI
