cannot be brought to surrender their wishes
to dictation from any quarter, each one
claiming the privilege of ofthinking and voting
for himself In the elections Of 1889 the
Wings succeeded in only six States out OF
the twenty-six. The Democrats were then
more sanguine of success In the pending
Presidential canvass than they are now, and
yet in few months after this time, when the
ralIying hour arrived they were stunned by
the immense majority Of Upwards of 100000
in the popular vote for the Wings. In the
present contest we have infinitely greater
advantage over them than we had in 1910
Now. the Wings are united to a man in the
selection Of the gallant champion of their
principles The Democrats, on the other
hand, have to arrange the conflicting claims
of almost a score Of rival candidates. to melt

WHICH is THE BRITISH'PARTY ?

1t was not unusual in the canvass of 1910,
to hear the ridiculous epithet of British

Harrison and even to assert that large sums
of money were sent over from England to
secure whig triumph. This, which was
one ofthe legitimate weapons of democratic
warfare. was secuted by the intelligence of
the people. We should suppose that if
stigma of that kind belongs to any party, it
more properly applies to those who main
tain British Interests, and advocate British
views. The whIg Tariff, is fall measures
most odious to England. Herself surroun-
ded with triple wall of protection. she

breathing hostility to the United States, on
account of the new tariff. whilst their sup
porters in this country, are unintentionaIly
building up their interests. not ont of friend
ship for them, it is true, but fir IN opposition
to as. From late commercial statistics, 1t
appears, that the United States imports more
of English fabrics, in proportion to popula-
tioE. than any other country in the world av-
eraging S4 dollars for each nhabitantl No
wonder then, that English manufacturers
should be alarmed at our making our goods
at home, just as the merchant feels at hear

of the whig party to cherish all classes of

METH0DISAl.

The impression left upon the public mind
by the late Methodist Conference, has been
so far as we have observed, favorable to the
Methodist church and ministry The intel
Egence, genteel appearance. and religious
zeal of the preachers, have gone farto re-
move any prejudices which may have pre-
viously existed in the minds of other dcnom-
nations, and to raise them in the estimation
ofall. 1t is certainly an interesting and i'm
pressive spectacle, to see nearly one hundred
men, qualified by education and attainments,
for any station in life, abandoning all world
ly honors, wealth and pleasures. and devo-
ting their time, their talents, their all, to the
propagation of the Gospel. This system of
seifdevotion and selfsacrifice, shows TO the
world, that they are actuated by living
faith in what they teach Govern thyself
and thou canst govern the world is a max
i'm no less true than it Is old; and that sys-
tenn of religion or politics, which exhibits in
its followers. bodily sacrifices, will surely
prevail with a majority of mankind. We
have striking illustration of this in the his
tory of the Jesuits. Burning with holy
zeal, these missionaries carried their religion
wherever the foot Of man had tread neither
fire nor sword, nor swamp nor desert, nor
sickness, nor suffering, could check their
progress or damp their ardor. So long as
these men kept aloof from government, and
temporal ambition. they were worthy of our
admiration, but when they become tainted
with affiuence and power, they disgust US
with their crimes. The Methodist ministry
exhibit a similar zeal, selfdevotion which
places their time and talents at the diposal of
the church, ready to go to any part of the
world to promote the sacred cause in which
they are engaged. We were gratifed to
observe the improvement in point of educa-
tion. among the young men, compared with
the older preachers, and the strict examina-
ton upon their studies which they had to
undergo. They have several colleges for
the education of their preachers; and in a
few years, it's probable. they will equal those
of any church, in this respect. The great
peculiarly of their ministry, seems to be.
that they are selected from young men of eve
ry class and rank, who are most Distinguish
ed for their zeal and energy. without so much
regard for their birh or education. By this
means, they possess the requisite FIRE. and
when accompanied BY application and study,
make the most brilliant lights in the church.

MISSISSIPPI STATE BANKS.


We see tha, the Guard half way endorses
the story told by the Grenada Herald thai
the wings made the Mississippi Banks. we
intend shortly to show the truth IN relation
to that matter, concerning which there ought
never to have been any controversy, by CIV
ing the vote on all the bank charters ever
passed in this State. and thereby SO fasten the
thing down upon the democrats that they
will never again repeat the silly tale ol the
Herald
We did not dispute the correctness OF the
list Of votes given by the Herald. What we
objected to was. the unfair trick OF stating
the number of whig and democratic votes re-
corded against particular banks. when, per-
haps, the whole number was less than doz
en-. and attempting to argue, from the fact
that more democratic than whig votes were
so recorded, that therefore the wings made
those banks. We were not willing that our
veracity should be called in question upon
such proof, which, by the way. is all that the
editor of the Herald can offer. We shall
sustai in our assertion. and disprove that ofthe
Herald, by showing who voted IN faror OF
the banks and our neighbor may then have
an oppo rtunity of endorsing for his Grenada
brother, if he chooses to do so. We opine.
however, that he will be "mum." for the facts
will be far from bearing out his supposed
case"
We admit that the democracy has destroy
ed the banks, but this admission does not
initiate against the fact that they created
them 1t is also true that the wings oppo
sed some of the measures adopted by the de-
mocracy to ensure the destruction of the
banking system, but we did so because we
believed that those measures were not only
impolitic but unjust and dishonest 1t was
not fair, 1t was not honest, when the yalua
ton law was passed and the people were
thereby enabled to postpone for long period
the payment of the debts they owed to the
banks, to compel the banks to pay all their
obligations at once under pain of forfeiting
their charters. 1t was like tying a man,
hand and foot. throwing him into the waters
and denouncing death against him if he
should no: swim We did not make the
banks, we considered them.so many curses,
to the people of the State, but we wished to
see them dealt with according to the method
pointed out by law. Democracy WAS like
mob. excited. and eager TO administer Lynch
law upon supposed offenders. The wings
were willing that the guilty should be
brought to justice, but insisted that it should
be done in accordance with the laws OF the
land, and therefore it is that we are charged
with being the authors of a system which we
have opposed from the beginning and which !
we shall ever oppose while whig principles |
remain unchanged.
