The representation OF the public speaking
at this place on Monday week last in the
Gazette. SO far as it relates to ourselE is un-
msfigatingiy Jaise. If it proceeded from a
source we, suspect. il is liable to charge
other than that of faIsehood.-Guard.
Far be it from us to be considered as
prosecuting Mr.. Josselyn. or taking any un-
fair advantage of him in opposing him as
one of the repudiating candidates. We
would inform him tha. we did not arrive at
.he Court House 10 time to hear all of his
speech. but received the account we gave OF
it from several friends in whom we had con-
fidence. Now for fear those. gsntlemen
may have misunderstood him. and conse.
qutntIy. misrepsesenteI him. We promise to
publish in the Gazeitc his own version of
what he did say oE that occasion. in refa-
tion TO his being poor. and without wealthy
friends or connexions" TO aid him with their
influence. This we will do to show that
we have no desire to do him Injustice
As to the insinuaiion that il proceeded
from any other source, we would inform
Mr.. Josselyn. that the editor is Thomas A.
Falconer. and that he holds himself respon-
si5ie for what appears in the columns of
the Gazette. He would further inform the
sapis ct editor. that he does most of the
mechanical work of the Office. and If in
times ofa heavy press Of business, he should
think proper to procure the aid ofa friend.

IN y too are in favor of applying :he
proc els of the Uaiom Bank 20 the pay

as party. have heretofore prevented tae

Williams. ia bis sp ecb on "Wednesday last.
rxposed their hypocrisy upon this subject,
and showed ihat nh y had prevented thai OBJ
jsct from being accomplished. He traced
up the Legislation of the last two years. and
showed that the repudiators have voted unan-
imously against bi II to put the bank in IL
quida,ion. and save its assets. He read
from the Journal of 1912. the following ex-
tract, showing that he Introduced resolu-
tion instrucsinS the Judiciary committee to
report bill for that purpose. which was vo-
ted down by rrery repadiator
"Mr. Williams, of Pontotoc. offered the
following resolution, to w.t.
"Resotred. That the judiciary committee
be instructed to report to this house bill to
place the Mississippi Union Bank in liqui-
datlon. and save its assets; said bill to en-
brace substantially the following. provisions:
First. To be guarded, so as not to operate

Now. does not this contain what every
honest citizen desires2 Is il not an act Of
Justice that the bond holders should have
the proceeds of the Union b ink, at least, in
all conscience if nothing more2 Yet these
same regulators vote down proposition for
this desirable end, and then return to the
people, and talk about having to pay the

MY SISTERS GRAVE,
BY r. BUCKINGHAM GRAHAM.

Close by its side brooklet flows
 In ripling melody along;
 And fluttering on the willows boughs
 A robin chants his morning song; And there the roses love to bloom, The breeze is laden with perfume And on the ambient summer air Ascends brothers fervent prayer. Full oft I've knelt beside that grave, !. Mydrooping heart with sorrow riven- And listened to the sounds that float
 FpoR the perfnmed breath of heaven. For there, melhinks ever hear A sweet voice murmuring in my ear The spirit-tones ofjoy and love, Taught in the Paradise above. Sing songster, sing-and never cease
 Thy solemn matin OCT the dead; Sleep, sister, sleep-I would not call
 Thee from thy humble peaceful bed; Though thou'rt no more by grief oppress'd. A brother guards thy place ofrest; And calm and sweet be thy repose Beneath the fragrance of the rose.
