Never DID Old JOl,r and Tower, "lrly, B.-nch

wise man Of OLD, and Oh that the ca'umny reso-
uions of Ycr.er, the yiilauy speech OF Pf'ut'Ss,
had never been uttered ard that the high horse 81
honor and eiiraiy had never been mounted Is
now the CRY oflhe poor, distressed Bond men oil
Madison county.
Hereditary Boad-men know ye not
Who would be free himself must strike the blow
Hereafter the Ssrgeants and CorPorals OF the
great and splendid wing party this Stale II they
cannot be brought from mere party .pnde to
break through the unconstltuil onal Bonds Ci The
State, will doubtless break the bonds OF their
party leaders who numbering from The Olympus
Of their importance and lulallbdiy have driven
ther humble disciples aud followers into dehIe
from which they can neither advance or retreat.
On the 2SJh OF August, Mr. John y. Freeman OUT
candidate for Attorney General, delivered al
Camden IN tie upper pant 0t tins county one Of
the ablest, most powerful aud overwhelming
Speeches that was ever made Oh the stump. In
that part Cf the county, ell the influential men
have been bond men, no ray OF ant-bond light
had ever penetrated the Cimmerian darkness IN
which the minds Of the people of that region were
enyeIoped. Nj freeman tore away the yel Of
night and as Truth after truth flashed 10
the armament ofhls brilliant harangue, the inter-
est Of he people in the arguments Of the orator
changed to conviction Of thor truth. To borrow
an dea from Campbell aud some ofbls VOID, they
seemed delighted
To watch the Frightening roses Of the sky,
And gaze on Freeman with yjreeDsGns eye"
Freeman was popular even with his opponents,
Never did | know a democrat before to receive
as he did the pressing invitations OF " all the de,
cency.n Ills arguments have been declled, but
the Bond men have unwitungy paid him the
compliment Of superior ability by clubbing him the
"Blg gun" of the anll-bond party IN Mississippi.
| am sure Mr. Freeman could neither ask or ex.
pect greater homage to be paid to his talents eth
g by friend or foe than TO be denomInated The
Big gun" OF that party which now numbers IN its
ranks three lourhs Of the whole people Of the
State of Mississippi. think there will not be III
this county another Bond speech Delivered IT
there be, 1t will be A" Tor grandeur" and not toI
victory or the hope Of it. Yesterday there was a
larpe meeting at Livingston, Barbecue &c. Out
were not, relgously believe, more than ten
bond men on the ground. While the ablest BOND
man was speaking, there were not more than a
dozen listeners and some Of them listened more
from polileness than interest the minds oil the
people are made up"
