will not be dear meat, in these diggins at
any rate.
THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.
The wings of this body will be in a
small minority. They cannot expect to
elect any officer of either branch of this
body, of their own party. Their plan
of course is TO support men of the oPPo-
site party, who are not SO violent in their
opposition to whiggery as others, and
who they may think will perform the
duties of their various offices, with the
greatest ability and impartiality.
For President ofthe Senate, one man
however it seems to US would do about
as we'll as another, as far as rabidness in
party feeling goes, consequently the
wing members Of that body should sup
port the most industrious, honest and
energetic man of the locofoco party
Horace Pagaud Of Jackson and J. NJ. Car
deco of Lexington, Holmes county, are
candidates for Secretary. Mr.. Pagaud
will make as efficient a Secretary as
could be obtained.
For Speaker of the House, Col Ro-
berts OF Scott, Gordon D. Boyd OF Alfalfa,
and L. A. Besaneon of Tunica, are spo-
ken of as likely 10 become candidates.
The two first are the most rabid ''died in
the wool" an,i-bond locofocos in the
State; the last is bond-paying demo
crat and probably as swell qualified for
the station as any man of that party'' in
the House
For Clerk, Gen. Price of the Missis-
sippian, w. NJ. Smyth of Grand Gulf, and
}. +. Summers Of Lexington, have been
announced, we understood as candidates.
The former in all probability will be
elected.
This is the way, we believe, in which
matters stand now. Upon the principle of
locofocoism that " to the victors belong
the spoils," the various Offices arc thus
early being distributed, among and by
the vultures, that are continually hover
ing around, seeking an opportunity to
gorge themselves upon the carcass, the
people. In this conflict the wings have
an opportunity to learn, and in looking
on the devastation will doubtless often
be reminded Of the scene of carnage de.
scriqed in "the Seige of Corinth" where
the dogs
"Gorgng and growing DER carcass and limb
: Were too busy to bark at hin.''
Il We predict now, too, that the Legis
s lature, Notwithstanding the law giving the
d public printing to the lowest bidder, vii
have to elect public printer. Agreed
bly, to requisition ofthat law many pro
$ minent locofocos will doubtless bid
9 some one will far under-bid any body else
!. forfeit his bid, and leave it incumbent OF
e the Legislature to elect. This is dee
y scheme, ard the genius who effects thi
(, imposition onlaw and the design of tn,
It people, will be deserving an immortalit,
e among anti-bond loco(ocos.
S The management, elbowing, scheming
stratagem, drumming, all mixed up wit
. the pusillanimity and meanness that vii
doubtless be resorted to by various aspi
: rants, will be fit matters to excite tn
