number of that paper is filed with abuse OF
the wings for imposing duty on certain ar
ticles The system is denounced as one Of
robbery, and the persons favorable to it as
ROBBERS! And yet strange as all this may
seem, the same paper supports man for Gov

planters of Mississippi a tax OZONE DOLLAR
ON EVERY BALE OF COTTON RAISED by THEMl!l
But Tucker is a locofoco and therefore it is all
right. There is no robbery in that

FROM THE vICKsBURG WIG.
COLONEL BING N

This able and eloquent champion of the
people is doing his duty fearlessly. He meets
the bond question like man, and defends the
cause of honesty with unrivalled ability. In
him the Wings have noble champion, one OF
whom they may well be proud. Regardless
of himself, regardless of his own election, he
has thrown himself into the breach, deter
mined to "sink or swim, survive or PERISH
with the Wings of Mississippi, and the honor
of the State. God speed him His example
is worthy of all praise, and entities 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 uEmindful of his
present services, or his past sacrifices.
By the way, we have most encouraging
letter from him, at Carrollton, dated the Cd
inst. 1t was not intended for the public eye,
but we cannot refrain from making an extract
from it. 1t will show al a glance, his stern
integrity and manly independence.
He says-"I have pursued anti-bond;sm
thus far, but hitherto it has eluded my grasp.
It has always been said that it was just ahead
but have not yet found an anti-bond county!
Here / am told that if my object be to find, ]
must turn some other direction than north
ern one. shall meet Gwin and Freeman on
the 9Th, at Coffeevile, and think it probable
that shall then cross over to The Columbus
road, and go eastward. have had pleasant
trip thus far, and feel sanguine that the faith
of the State ,ciU be sustained. In my opinion,
1t is of infinitely more importance than the
success of our Congressional ticket. If, con-
trary to my expectations, anti-bondism should
prevail, / have no wish to represent the State
| in Congress, but would prefer to remain al
home and endeavor to assuage, by palliatives,
the simmedicable i'll !"
Thus speaks Adam L. Bingaman thus
speaks one of Mississippi's noblest sons, and
what Wing in the State will not give hearty
response to him at the ballot-box in Novem.
BERT We answer, NOT ONE.

CONSISTENCY.

Some anti-bondmen contend that the u
Mon Bank is unconstitutional, but wish the
assets of the bank used to redeem the bonds.
Let them remember that if the demonstrations
atty of the bank is established there is of
course no longer any liability on the debtors
ofthe bank. They are at once released. A
debt surely will still exist but there will be no
power TO coerce payment; there will be no
plaintiff to bring suit, and conseq uently all
the assets of the bank will be of no avail
Here is the wing bond doctrine, to secure
these assets, and use them in the redemption
of the bonds, but if anti bondism succeeds (of
which we have not the least idea) these as
sets amounting to $7,000,0OO will be a total
loss.

Pnd can pay the bonds herself. The Judge

We ali know to be fact, that if her means are

paw large amount of them. There are some
Gentlemen now in the bank as directors, who
we're selected by democratic Legislature, on
account of character for honesty and integ-
fity, to take care of her assets, and they pos
ttively assert this to be true, beyond doubt or
favil. Her bills receivable and securities of
garious descriptions, amount to the enormous
sum of eight millions of dollars whilst her
liabilities, on account of circulation, do not ex-
feed 100000. If she collects half or even
pne third of this, and that she will, we do not

are several counties of which the same may

QUESTION TO THE ANTI -BoNDERs.-Isit right
or legal, Just and proper, that persons VIII,
contract debt, should be the sole Judge
whether he should or should not pay the debit
or in other words should be allowed to adiu-
dicate his own case. In the question of the
State Bonds the State is a party e. the con-
tract, and yet the Anti bonders hold that she
has right to adjudcate upon her own case.
This is evident from the fact that they have
made up the issue before the people whether
or not She should pay the bonds. Is not this
violating every principal Of justice and COM
mon sense, making one party to contract,
the sole and exclusive judge of the contract.
