COT. BINGAMAN.-This able and
eloquent champion Of the peoples do
ing his duty fearlessly. He meets the
bond question like man, and defends
the cause Of honesty, with unrivalled
ability. In him the wings have a no.
bic champion, one Of whom they may
well be proud. Regardless of his own
election; he has thrown himself into
the breach determined to ''sink or
swim, survive or perish" with the
wings of Mississippi, and the honor of
the State. God speed him! His ex-
ample is worthy Of all praise, and emit
ties him to the gratitude Of every true
wing in the State. Let them rally to
his support and show by their
votes that they are not unminded Of
his present services or his past sacri-
fees.
By the way we have most eucou r-
aging letter from him at Carrolton, da-
ted the I'd inst. 1t was not intended
Ger the public eye, but we cannot re-
frain from making an extract from it.
twill show at a glance, his stern integ-
rity and manly independence.
He says:-''I have pursued anti
bondism thus far, but hitherto it has
eluded my grasp. 1t has alwas been
said that il was just ahead, bat have
not vet found an anti bond county,
Here am told that if my object be to
End, | must turn in some other direc-
ton than the northern one. l shall
meet Gwin aud Freeman on the 9th
at Cofeeville, and think it probable
that | shall then cross over to the Co
lumbus road and 60 eastward. l have
had a pleasant trip thus far, and feel
sanguiae that the JGith ofthe State '0lH
be sustained. In my opinion it is
infinitely of more importance than the
success of our congressional ticket. Ii,
contrary to my expectations anti-bond-
ism should prevail, have no wish to
represent the State in Congress, but
would prefer to remain at home and
endeavor to assuage, by paliatives, the
immedicable i'll.
Thus speaks Adam L Bingamau-
thus speaks one Of Mississippi's mob
lest sons, and that wing in the State
who will not give hearty response to
him at the ballot box in November, we
answer NOT ONE VictsbaTg Wing.
What our neighbors s0y.-We clip
the following significant paragraph
from the N. Y. Tribune.
MIssIssIPPI.-The Loco Foco
party Of Mississippi has deliberately ia
ken its stand upon the principle Of pub
lie swindling, or the refusal of the
State TO pay the bonds issued by au-
thority ofits Legislature. Its candid
ates all avow that principle and advo-
cate it in their speeches! The result
Of the election will therefore be very
convenient as showing in parallel col
umns the number Of honest men and
deliberate scoundrels respectively in
the State. The man who votes an
anti bond ticket would rob a charity
box if he had a good opportunity.
McLEOD.-Mr. Greedy, the editor
Of the New York Tribune, writing
from Utica, under date Of the 81 ult.
says Of the approaching trial of Nc
Leod:-
have already heard enough to
convince me that there will be some
hard swearing, and most amazing con-
tradictions of evidence, on this trial.
1t will be sworn point blank, by per
sons who profess to have been enga-
ged 10 the attack on the Caroline, moi
only that this yeritable Alexander Me-
Iced was actively engaged in that en-
terprse, but that he ordered a man tc
nre at Duriee on the American shore,
and that, on the man refusing, he (Mc.
Leod) seized the guu from the soldier,
