Several whig papers have been making

turns were all officially made. 1t appears
that official returns had been received from
most Of the counties, beside most of the

ensure their election; when Gov. M'Nutt
gave them their certificates as he had done
before to wing representatives. Why did
not they then cry out {" locoloco disregard

Prentlss and Word, in 1888, their ceriif-

did not they then cry out $50 long as the

ANDREW JACKSON.
THE GOVERNORS CERTIFi-
GATES TO THE MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS ELECT.

The fact that Gov. McNutt granted
certificates Of election TO Messrs. Brown
and Thompson, before the official returns
OF the election had been received by The
Secretary of State, from al The couriles,
continues to be commented upon by The
wings in some orfhe whig presses. The
facts of he case are these. The certih-
caf''s OF election sere granted on the 18th
OF November, on which day Gen. Grown
set out for Washington--rue, at that
tine, all the counties had not been Official
" heard from; but the returns had been
received from them all by such hands, as
eft no Shadotc Of doubt on the mind ofaay
one, but that Messrs. Brown and Phomp.
son were elected by considerable major
lily. Gov. McNuit pursued the course
which has been uniformly acted upon in
this State. 1t has frequently happened
that the official returns from all the coun.
ties, have not been receiged at the Office
of the Secretary of State for months after
he elections have transpired, and when
ever the mind Of the Executive for the
lime being, has been satisfied on the sub
Get, the certificates have beer granted to
the members elect. Gov. Lynch gave
Messrs. Claiborne aud Gholston their
certificates of election, as members of the
called session of the 2Jh Congress when
some six or eight counties remained to be
heard from. THIS was in the month Of
Jnly, 1887. And in the month of No.
vember of the same year, he acted in a
similar manner in regard TO HlessIs.
Prenti8s and Word. No complaint was
ever made in relation thereto, for the
reason that all men were satisfied that a
majority of the people had cast their votes
Tor those whom Gov. l.. had granted the
certificates, Again, Gov. McNut pur-
sued the same course in regard TO Messrs.
Prentiss and Word, when they succeeded
over Claiborne and Davis at the special
election in 1898. No comment was ey.
er made upon this fact, for the reason
assigned above, and yet the official re.
turns OF that election from all The counties
were nerer yccGred at all. The counties
Leake & Jackson were never heard from
IN that instance. Had Gov. M
Mutt then acted as the wings, would have
had him act, with reference to the cleo.
ton of Messrs. Brown and Thompson.
The Wing members elect from this Stale
Messrs. Prentiss and Word, would never
have had the honor of a seat in the Amer
can Congress.
From the above statement Of facts j,
will be seen that the course pursued by
Gov. M'Nutt is sanctioned not only by the
laws, but the usage Of the State. We
presume it will not be called agrarianism
TO contend that when the circumstances
Of the case are such, that 10 order 10 com,
ply with the Letter Of the statute, rather
than the spirit Of the lar, the object de.
sired TO be attained by the enactment Of
