no 1he WnIGS of MHSSisSTPPT,

Before we issue another number of our pa
per,the fate Of the political parties OF this State
will have been determined at the bSIOt-box;
aud this is the last occasion, which we shall
have, ofaddressing the public through the press,
before that eyentful contest.
The Democrat Of this place is pro,laiming
with arrogant exultation the ''sound of Dem
ocratic triumph which comes BOOMING on
every breeze" and predicu with prophetic
assurance the total defeat of the Wings of this
State.
We feel convinced that the course of the
Wing party Of Mississippi is directed by prin-
ciples too elevated and sentiments too honora-
bic TO be influenced or controlled by the vacl-
latng political movements Of other States.-
We hope that the same proud spirit, which an
mated that valiant band in the glorious efforts
which they made in the great cause of reform
at the last November election, will sustain
them still, and urge them onward to anotb-
er victory.
Our opponents have artfully mingled with
the questions at issue local subject Of absorb
ing interest, to distract the ranks of our par
ty and divert them from the important political
objects, o: which we have been So strenuou. IL
contending.
But we appeal to the manly intelligence,
the lofty principles, and the honorable pride, Of
rhe wings Of Mississippi,to their remembrance
of tie many hard conflicts which they have
sustained and the many calling defeats they
have borne, we ask them,wIL they now consent
to surrender the victory won by their undaun-
ted perseverance, destroy the integrity of their
triumphant party, and tarnely submit TO be
made the dupes of stratagem, which their
adversaries have planned for their total over
throw! We wait not for their answer: we
receive it from the brilliant exertions, which
they made in the contest oflS4O.
Upon the issue of the approaching cleo
ton depend the political complexion as well
as the moral character Of our State.
A result so momentous renders It imper-
alive upon every citizen to do his duty.

OF The people Of the State Of Missis.
Sipli are divided into two parties, name.
Iy the Anti Bond paying and the Bond
paying parties. The first ore opposed to
paying the Bonds issued by the STATE and
sold on account Of the Union Bank; the
second maintain that the faith of the State
is pledged. and that every consideration
Of honor, demands the payment Of the full
amount Of the bonds with interest. The
Anti Bond paying party effect to consid-
er the issue Ofthe bonds as unconstitu,ion
al and the sale fraudulent aud illegal.
while the opposite party,even those among
them who regard tie issue of the bonds
as unconstitutional, regard tie refusal TO
pay as violation Of the pledged faith ofthe
State.
This question although in its present
aspect, il may be considered as u To-
cal matter; in which the State Of Missis.
sippi is alone interested, is one which the
Sutes,which have issued bonds are coLcer-
ned; il Involves a question Of State credit
affecting the interest of all. The determ.
nation ofthe people of Mississippi on this
subject may have an influence on the 9th
erSates W hen the period shall arrive for
the payment Of their bonds. The quib.
be ofthe Anti Bond payers for we can.
not call them arguments,we cannot butt te-
gard as disgIaceful to those with whom
they originated; aud the reputation of
the debt on the part ofthe State would be
dshonorable to the Legislature and the
people. II, through thu Encouragement
OF the Union Bank, the issuance of these
bonds has invovedithe State in difficulties,
Il cannot destroy the obligation of the
State to redeem them, even if it become
necessary to resort to direct taxation, the
State should maintain its credit, even at
some cost to the people: it should not suf'
ter its high standing to be dishonored in
the face Of the world. The refusal Of the
State Of Mississippi to discharge her obi
cations, would effect the credit Of all the
States, and thereafter it will be impossible
even under the most pressing emergencies
TO borrow money on the credit Of any
State. Ifone State violates its obligations
It may be inferred that another may dc
the same under various pretences. The
credit Of State should be as carefully
nursed and qua rded as that Of indlvid
uas.-NashpiLe Wing.

eight hundred and sixty-four thousand
Eve hundred and eighIy-three dollars,
in funds worth a premium-thls iund
they sell, by drawing bills, and receive
the premium Of exchange, amounting
- npwards of 100000 dollars. Add
these sums together, and the bank has
received upwards Of five millions Of
dollars. Is this not sale at par value?
Surely it is. The loss, therefore,
which the Governor says was sustained
on account Of interest, was more than
made up by the exchange.
The remaining objection Of the
Governor, is, that the sale was made
uihe Bank Of the United States; tha
twas a purchase by that institution, il
be name Of Mr.. Biddle, and that the
United States Bank was prohibited
by its charter, from dealing in State
stocks. The clause in the charter Of
the Bank, referred to by the Governor
(see acts of Pennsylvania for 1886,
page 49, is part Of the fifth lundamen-
tai article of the charter, and is as fol-
lows:
"The said corporation shall not,
directly or indirectly, deal or trade
in anything except bills Of exchange,
gold and silver bullion, or il the sale
Of goods really and truly pledged for
money lent and not redeemed in due
time, or goods which shall be the pro-
ceeds Of its lands, neither shall it make
any loan to any foreign prince or state,
unless previously authorised by Law.
The said corporation shall not be az
liberty to purchase any stock whatever
except their own stock, treasury notes,
public stock created by the Govern
ment o.! the United States, or of this
State, or stock OF, or loans to any of
the Incorporated companies Of this
State, for the construction and i'm
proyement Of roads, bridges, canal and
inland navigation or other stocks which
may be bona fde pledged as security
for debts to the bank and not duly re-
deemed"
feel no hesitation in stating, that
the State is legally bound 10 pay these
bonds, and from my own knowledge
Of the high and chivalrous feelings of
che citizens Of the State Of Mississippi,
| unhesitatingly state my conscientious
conviction to be, that they will assn
redly be paid.
