JUDGE SHATTUCK.

We are exceedingly pleased to see that our
candidate, or rather THE PEoPLE's candidate
for Governor, has made such an arrangement
as we see on foot between the Judge and Mr..
Tucker, the Old Party candidate. They make
their electioneering tour together and address
the people at the same meetings. This would
most unquestionably insure the Judges cleo
ton if the People had not insured it long ago.
Judge Shattuck will make thorough tour
of the northern part of the State first and
then we may look for him down this way
We shall expect him in Yazoo in October
He makes nearly clean sweep wherever he
goes. The people call him "7Ae Honest Can
didate" The plain unsophisticated honesty
and sincerity evinced by the Judge in his spec
ches and intercourse with the people meets a
hearty response and warm appreciation
His explanation of the legal and moral obliga-
tons of sovereign State or people to observe
her treaties and contracts, settles the "Bond
Question" very readily. The great body o
the people are most assuredly in favor of Judge
Shattuck for our next Governor.
Mr.. Harley, one Of our candidates for Con
gress, is also "amongst the people" in tn
! north. He is admired as candidate and vii
be honored as Representative.
| BY the way, Col. Bingaman, we hope I
see you out soon. Give Messrs. Gwin an
Thompson turn Colonel give them chance
When shall we see you in this quarterl

No TAxATIoN-A LocoFoco coRNERED.-
In recent speech in Lowndes county, Gen.
Jesse Speight, late speaker of the House of
Representatives, and at present candidate
for the Senate, and the Presidency thereof;
was SO completely cornered on the bond ques-
ton that he was forced to acknowledge that
the cry of taxation was sheer humbug, and
that no additional taxation was necessary to
pay the Union Bank bonds. We copy the fol-
lowing from the Columbus Argus.
General Jesse Speight, the anti-bond and
democratic candidate for the Senate, be il re-
membered, on the 3lst ult., before his fellow
citizens, assembled at Wrights Cabins, in
public speech, acknowledged that to pay the
| liabilities of the State of the Union Bank, the
taxes would not be necessarily increased; Swal-
low this friend Tuckerl Know this all we hon.

opposition to the payment of the State bonds
for the Union Bank. We proclaim il, your

the jaw-bone of an ass your Sampson has
slew his thousands, even ye yourselves.
In his zeal for Office, and desire to please the
ldear people, he forgot his former asseverations
land those made by his party leaders; ne
forgot in what his strength lay and for .
season lost it, but with its returning influence
he tore away the pillars of democracy, and II

) Gov. MCNUTT AND HIS PARTY.-It is lit
tie remarkable that in his letter to Hope &
Co; Gov. McNutt, does not once touch upon
the strongest argument heretofore urged by
his party in favor of repudiating the bonds,
and henceforth we may expect to see the ques-
ton of unconstitutiona!ity abandoned. But
the reason of all this is obvious. Gov. McNutt
DARED not take that ground. for if he had, his
own acts would have risen up in judgment
against him, and branded him with PERJURY.
When Gov. McNutt assumed the duties of
Governor he took a solemn oath to support
the constitution of the State, and under the
sanctity of that oath he APPROVED AND SIGNED
THE ACT SUPPLEMENTAL TO THE UNION BANK
CHARTER. Hence he dared not take the posi-
ton that the charter was unconstitutional,
and was compelled to resort to a miserable
and contemplate falsehood, about the change
in the currency. For when he stated that
the State or the Bank, had lost SOL ,343, by
changing the currency from dollars to pounds
sterling, he stated what he knec ,Uas falsei-
IIH ANEW thar $4,000 Duf1i.AEs OF UniIed
States money HAD PAID the semi-annual inter-
est on the bonds, and he knew also that it was
stipulated in the endorsement that the 1000
DOLLARS were to be received as equal and O.
Equivalent to 450 POUNDS! Yet with all those
facts in his possession he wrote and published
a deliberate falsehood to the world, for no 9TH
Ter purpose than to effect the November cleo.

pie who elevated him to power. Well may

KEEP OUT OF THE KITCHEN.
sWhere ignorance is bliss

In our college days, we once strolled into
the kitchen of the great hall, being naturally
curious to learn how cooking vas managed on
a scale so extensive as to meet the wants of
some 200 students. II was a quarter Of an
hour before breakfast, and an enormous kettle,
filled with coffee, as it was denominated, hung
gloomily over the fire As its contents boiled
and dubbed, we observed ever and anon some
dark substance, evidently too large TO be a
grain of coffee, rising to the surface, and In
stantly ducking down, as if its deeds were
evil What was it, OF that same liquid in
fifteen minutes we were to partake; we were
to persuade our palate that it was a bona fide
coffee, despite of all insinuations that it was
made of poplar leaves and damaged rye
What could this mysterious black substance
be! Was it a sturgeon, a negroes head, or a
Stove pipe! The question was one of great
personal lnterest-curiosity took the alarm
