he last humber of the 'Columbus Demo-
crat," is filed to overfowing with speech
OF this would-be- governor of Enthusiastically Mis-
slssippi. We have not yet read the speech of
the Hon. Senator from Lowndes, nor do we
think that we shall do so shortly, unless the
weather should become much more moderate
than tits at present, in IFS temperature; but as
we understand that FIVE thousand copies have
been stricken off at the "Democrat" office
to be distributed among the people, Judging
from the effect which the effort 10 read the
speech had upon ourselves, we would delicate
ly suggest the propriety of Withholding them
from distribution until the autumna rains set
IN. Having been told that the speech con-
tains a constitutional argument, to prove that
1t would be both violation of law and of mo-
raIIty in the people of Mississippi, to acknowl-
edge the obligation of the State to pay the
Union Bank Bonds, we determined to wander
through the may labarynth of arguments by
which MryT. arrived at hisl conclusion, but
having lost the clue if there be one, we were
brought up sail standing" by stumbling upon
the following passage, which we have conclu-
ded to extract on accountIof the novel manner
in which constitutional question may be
logically discussed by low and vulgar appeals
to the groundless prejudices and mercenary
feelings, or as Mr.. Tucker expresses it, to
"the base and trite passions of the ignorant"
The passage is also remarkable for the felicity
of its style, and the beautiful incongruity of its
figures of Rhetoric. However, here it is, and
let 1t speak for itself. B.
"But the honorable senator from
Warren, and the party to which he
belongs, five are to judge from ac-
tons, which some say, "speak louder
than words" do not believe in the re-
sponsibility of the representative to
the constituent, neither do they be-
lieye either in the power or capacity
of the people for self government;
nor do they believe that the sovereign
power Of this State is vested in the
people, but they believe in lieu there
of, that the sovereign power Of the
State is Tor should be) vested in the
rich and nell born; hence it was, that
the Senator from Warren, and his
party, and those who acted with him,
then voted against submitting that very |
important project to the people, and |
by a gross and palpabIe violation (in |
my opinion) Of the constitution Of the |
State, withheld the important project
contained in said bill from the people
Of the State, arrogating to themselves, |

Inc Wing and bond paying party, must
rot forget that next Saturday is the day ap.
pointed for them to meet in their several beats
to elect delegates to the general convention o.
the wing party which win convene on Monday
the ID of August, for this county at the Court
House in Columbus.
Concert being all important for success, the
orators and party generally are invited to at
tend to counsel, and advise with the regular
nominated delegates. A strong ticket and
supported with united action will ensure a
glorious triumph TO the bond paying party in
this country. Lukewarmness and division
must bring down upon it sure defeat.
We are certain ofsuccess if we do not d.
vide among ourselves. Let US lay aside all
sectional prejudices and personal predictions
and go for the cause which we profess to advo-
cate; letus look to the interest and honor of
the whole State and not topersonsl preferment.
Come out then fellow citizens, and evInce a
patriotic zeal in tho cause ofyour party; JUS
lice demands it, the honor of your state de-
mands It, and as true republicans you can but
obey the call of duty and honor.

}. p. has produced much excitement
among a portion Of our citizens. His letter
may be personal, to others besides the person
whose name he has published, but we cannot so
construe It; if gentlemen feel 1T however we
are not accountable for their feelings, it is a
matter between their thoughts and themselves,
with which we have nothing to do. At the
request of. p. we make the following expla-
nation. not in behalf of one of the editors who
holds himself responsible for his own conduct
touching the promises, but for the purpose Of
relieving Up. himself and another gentleman.
his informant, from an unpleasant position.
The day before the appearance of J. p. to
the public, gentleman in Jest as he now
says, called upon tho author of that commu-
nication and stated that he had the night be-
fore seen the person most deeply implicated
and hi d learned from her,that several persons,
married gentlemen, had called upon her, and
among the rest J. P. and enumerating the
statements in his letter.
Under the excitement of the moment he de-
termined to publish her to the world, and fine
cessary give, not in public print, but privately
the names Of persons received from his infor-
mant. Immediately altar the appearance OF
]. p. the author of this unfortunate lest, made
an explanation which both Sstonished J. p.
and induced deep regreet that he had been
instrumental in an unusual excitement of pub
nc remark. In as much as two worthy and
peaceably. citizens are connectedwith this mat
ter, the PRONUNCIATION Of whose names could
benefit no one, but injure one ofthem materi-
ally, we have determined upon keeping their
names secret regardless Of Consequences
J. p. relying upon another who declares he
knows nothing in regard to the matter, and
that he never did know Of his personal knowl-
edge any thing which would effect the standing
ofany young gentleman in the way alluded to,
but in saying what he did, that he was actua-
ted from no other motive than that of Jest,
leaves him in such a situation as to require all
further stepsto cease, both as to him and his
informant. But we are requested to state in
his behalf when he is convinced thatany gen.
tleman either as to his family or himself has
sustained the most remote injury, he will
hold himself bound to render ample Justice.
We would here speak Of the language used
IN this communication; it is not such as we
would have used ourselves bu. for the life ofus
we cannot see how it can be objected to on
that account. We find worse in the Bible, in
Byron and in several other popular works

(if we are now 10 Judge from their
acts) that either from their brief au-
tbority, or from their accalth or birth,
that they are tie only legitimate sove-
retgns in this State, and that they,
therefore, did not believe in the wis
dom, and clear, cool and disposition
ate judgement Of the people; but on
the contrary, they believe the great
mass of the population Of this State to
be low grovelIing creatures governed
by base and trite passions, and that
they therefore, faered that the people,
for want OF discernment and judge
ment, might defeat the darling scheme
of this rich and scel born class, OF ac-
quiring wealth by their witt without
industry; therefore, suppose the SEN
ntor from Warren, and those who ac-
ted and voted with him on that memo
rable occasion, withheld from the peo-
pie the important project, and moulded
the same to the peculiar taste OF their
,rcolM and birth.
Now, Mr.. President, does rot a
sense of strict justice and proprieiy
dictate, that if gentlemen, even repre-
sentatives, did withhold from the peo-
pie of the State the very pleasant task
of considering OF, and of even mould
ing the supplementary actto the char
ter of The Mississippi Union Bank, and
also withheld from the grasp of the
mass, the promising issue of the i'm
mortal Union Bank, except at a cost
of from three TO four times theintrinsic
value thereof. that these rich, and arell
born gentlemen, these gentlemen who
were the clothed with ga little brieI
authority" and who slipped the sweet
and highly favored and perfumed NOR
ming due drops from the virgin lips oil
the Mississippi Union Bank, should
now, in the days of her prostitution,
swallow the bitter and even poisonous
dregs TO the very bottom, in the dis
charge of the liability by them crea-
ted, rather than shit this heavy bur-
den from their own shoulders and
throw it on the multitude, whom they
so recently refused and even scorned
to trust with any agency in the impor-
tant project"

We have TO decline publishing the commu
