re, who was called out to reply to Mr..
,.ompson, because we are truly ashamed
the credit of oui County abroad, to give
8 ibIiclty to such facts, as truth would compel
if we should portray, IN true colours, the tru-
ly indicrous figure and empty headedness'
presented b this man who is candidate to re-
present the intelligent people of Yazoo.
Major Dulin spoke next after Davis, and
every democrat present was filled with pride
and pleasure at the manner in :" hich the man
of their nomination acquitted himself. He
stood forth in proud and manly defiance on
the outer walls of Democracy; and ina brief
thrilling and conclusion manner upIurned
the grand moving tower, upon which, the
beleaguering leginns of whiggery have hoped

of those opposed to National Bank on con-
grounds to those who had been in
its favor showing all resulted favorable to the
views of Democracy. He showed that we
have the recorded testimony, of three distin.

incorporate and create National Bank, had
been rejected 10 the convention that framed

and therefore clear and conclusive. He who
rejected this testimony would not believe

evidence or argument, for conviction, and
like Ephraim were, joined to their Idol, and
reason must let them alone.
Major Duln adverted to the proposed
amendment of the State constitution of which
he was in favor-and also other measures
of State policy, and interest which we shall
not notice particularly in this short sketch
Judge Campbell succeeded Major Dulin in
which he commented at large on matters EN-.
braced in his circular and stood forth fully
on the grounds of democracy. His ability
as a speaker is well known and the people
may look to see the grounds of the parties of
the country ably discussed during his can.
