a bare profession ofthe faith, accompa-
MED by declaration that Martin Van
Buren, will be sustained for the next
Presidency, constitutes the Democrat;
nor so far as the person of A: q. Nc
Nuttis concerned, would / make the
support Of him a sine qua non; but j
contend that the true Democrat has
principle for his guide--that there are
certain great memorable doctrines
which he must abide--that among
these is eternal opposition to every spe-
cies of monopoly, and invention to tax
the labor Of man, and Cypress the ma
ny for the benefit Of the few--that in
order to carry out the philantropic
views Of urparty. we must place IN
high office those who act om its princi-
Piles, and when a candidate has been
fairly placed before the people, and is
beyond any question the choice of a
majority of the party, private prefer
ence and prejudice should be laid aside,
and all true Democrats ought to sus-
tain him. Is not Gov. McNutt such
a candidate as this? He is--none de-
ny it. Why, then, should he not be
sustained? Why, forsooth, because Hi
ram G. Runnels isnot a personal friend
ofhim!! a cogent reason truly, peo-
pie of Mississippi, for you to discard a
particular candidate! The Psesident q
The Mississippi Union Bank is not per-
sonally the friend Of ALEXANDER g.
McNutt-tterefore, good people, you
ought not tosupport him!!!!! But lei
IRE inquire the cause of this want o
personal fondncss towards the Govern
or. All who have visited Jackson In
the last twelve months, know that pr
or TO the issuance ofpost notes by the
Mississippi Union Bank, the utmost aP
parent good feeling and harmony OK
listed among gentlemen; that although
iIreeIy expressed ms 1rgrcs o'.e ".~--I
6cation that the bank should have
commenced so ruinous policy, yet n'
bitterness was manifested by the bank
4 ties until the Governor, in Ills last an
nual message to the Legislature, expo
sed the infamous policy Of the bank
their dealing in sotton-the loss tn
:. State had sustained by The violation Q
1fhe charter ofthe bank in selling~
bonds of the State for less than par val
I ue-their omission to establish tn
, branchs &c. &c. After this expose
! open and violent war was declared
! and since that time nomeans, by whic
4 the bank could curry favor, and prey
9 dice the public mind against Go'
;, McNutt has been left unresorted e
= The ingenious attempt which the ban
rot up last winter, to shift the respoI
:. sibility of the post note system from tf
% Decemviri ofthe Bank upon the Leg
r. lature, was put down by the Governo
% and the odium fixed to those who ha
!. generated the scheme. This, OF cours
.. was another cause for personal dtsl'h
. and this personal dislike a host q re
" sons why the people Of this great Sta
sas should eschew Gov. M. But ha'
70 protracted my letter to agreater lcng
lOl than l intended; and indeed ! gre
Il. ialE.at contemplating the miserable
tenye TO injure the great cause in WIN
IT. we are engaged. Sirs, there is no
s. vision in the party-none whatey'
a There does not breathe in this gre
State {. man in whose bosom the soul
nd dS hocracy is warmed, that will
