PRINCIPLE, will attempt to exclude the vital
part OF the principlef 1t is worse than to ex-
|clude it, they wish to throw it into contempt,
they LAUGH at the bare mention of the words
"honor of the State;" when the honor of the
State is DEEPLY concerned, and il is humilia-
ting, vexingly so, to see men attempt to throw
IT entirely out of the argument, attended with
scorn and kissing, and settle the question down
upon the point of paramount amplitude, DOL
LARS AND CENTS. Great Heaven! has it come
to this? Can gentlemen be sincere when they
in this manner, intimate there is no State hon.
or! 1t is reflection upon the integrityof
citizens generally. Not one particular party,
but all come under this ungenerous inuendo.

1t is the impression Of many locos now andsss
it is fast gaining ground, that the bond ques-
ton is what we have known it to be for some
time, humbug to deceive the people into the
snare of 'no party" which has been cried
aloud so industriously and with such stout
lungs since the present State candidates were
nominated. We are happy 10 see that the
happy to see that this attempt 20 dups them
ptoves failure. 1t is impossible for the To-
co.focos, Tor the anti-bond payers as they call
themselves, forgetting all their old appella-
tons and to mention any other subject than
the State bonds,) to organize their ticket much
less their party. Ever since their convention
at Jackson they have been laboring to get up
ticket with which to gull the people and up
to this time failures in that project have been
rapidly succeeding each other.
Some of the party are too proud to submit
to the dictation of any body, let him be the
Tameable IIyena, the Governor or any body
else. So far they have allowed the Vicksburg
Sentinel to manage the thing its own way
and now at this late day the Mississippian
chicks up" and says Col. Woodward should
not be thrown from the loco-foco ticket. No,
they DARE not start full anti-bond ticket
and run II on the question of the validity of
the bonds. They DARE not say the bonds are
null and void. They DARE not maintain the
ground they first assumed, that nobody is
bound for them. They have no decided stand
to take upon the subject, except to put it on
the broad ground Of bond or anti-bond, and
at the time endeavor to throw upon that term
ed the "bond party" the odium of wishing to
impose unjustifably "tax" on the people,
thereby appealing to the basest passion of the
heart, selfish pecuniary interest. If these
means will cause the people to repudiate the
bonds, the principals in their management are
surely welcome to all the glory and honour
-. - ;. in this way ay acGuirs Men are term
null and void, and that they should be paid
What kind of reasoning is thisl What was
at the first agitation of the question, assumed
as the ground of the anti-bondmen, viz: that
the bonds possessed no validity whatever, has
been deserted, and now finding not one-eighth
of the people will support this monstrous her.
|esy they wish to make it APPEAR they are
about to assume a middle ground. An abso-
lutte and entire reputation of the bonds, is
their true doctrine.-Creole.
